People's President, 40 years experience in politics at its best.

The about turn of the boss is baffling. Is it the defeat of MC and PS budgets in recent times the reason? Or is it the coming LG elections? Whatever it is we hope it isn't temporary!!!

MR is changing his bating style. Good one Mr President.

If MR really does it the LPG retail price must be reduced. Otherwise it's useless. Obviously all the import taxes are added to the consumer at the end. So the LPG price must be slashed.

This will be added (more than this) in the electricity bill from Jan 2011.
