"We only learnt about the floods at 6am and were surprised because it was not even raining at the time," he said.
He said what happened was a good lesson and they would be better prepared next time.
"Our personnel are now on standby and we are ready to respond and co-ordinate rescue efforts at a moment’s notice," he said.
I am tickled pink. Funny how emergency team is "surprised" and will be "better prepared next time". Remember the tsunami a couple of years back? Shouldn't we be prepared with whatever natural disaster by now? At least, flood is something oh-so-common thing, and we should've been prepared, regardless the area is flood prone or not. After all, you ARE the emergency team, are you not?
Or maybe, it's just too much to ask.

"... increase in petrol prices was inevitable to cope with the rising price of fuel globally."
"... did not discount the possibility of inflation following the increase in petrol prices but "we will just have to cope with the rising inflation". "
"The important thing is to ensure that businesses do not take advantage to increase prices unfairly."
Hmm... it will happen sooner or later, but still... 30 cents? That's one karipap! And by the way sir, you haven't been able to control the price increase of goods before, fair or not. What makes you think this time it'll be different? Your people here, is earning third world salary but living in a first world pricing. No wonder we have first world infrastructure but third world mentality. Anyway, can you do something about the public transport please? I understand that government needs to make money as well, but wringing it out from your people's neck? What happens when there are no more necks to strangle? Will the government capoot as well? Get the public transport in order. Seriously, if there are convenient transport alternatives going to where I'm working, I would've taken them long time ago.

I think you should just stick to whatever brand you're using now...
30 cents petrol increase wouldn't hurt you much, unless you really have to travel to customer places a few times everyday.
As for govt's income, ever since they announce that GST was being postponed many people has started guessing that there'll be fuel price increase.
Come to think about price hike, people make so much noise when they have to pay more for fuel or bread or chicken or rice. But, when govt increased the taxes (and eventually prices) for tobacco and liquor, people just turned blind eyes and continued buying. Not even 20% of them quit smoking/drinking.
tdna: thank you. he he he... i don't travel to customer places. but i travel aproximately 100km a day. how's that? but i agree with you... people don't stop smoking/drinking. hehe.. maybe should increase that to 300%.
I heard karipap has risen to 40 sen each. :(
