Choices in Life...NOT materialistically!!!

Assalamualaikum...

Increase in toll rate: from RM0.40 to RM0.60 (previously RM1.20 can make 3 trips, now RM1.20 can only make 2 trips..sigh...)
Increase in petrol: from RM 1.92/liter to RM 2.10 (maybe after the oncoming general election)
Increase in food stuff...
Increase in salary?..huhuhu.. wish it was real..

Now, all the ministers will advise the people to spend wisely, save money and blah..blah..blah
But the normal people are already doing that, and they are asking us TO DO MORE??!!
What about the ministers?!
What are they doing to cushion the impact of ever increasing-price-of-everything for the poor especially? Let the ministers' live the life of a normal 'rakyat' for a day and let see how they will cope. Then they will know how we the 'rakyat' are living before giving their I-know-what-I'm-saying remarks.

Choices on life...I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel just yet..materialistic wise that is..
But for other part in life there are choices..

Increase solat sunat...
Increase puasa sunat...
Increase sadaqah...
Increase reading the Qur'an...
Increase 'kesabaran dalam menangani cabaran kenaikan harga semua benda... :P
