For better or woes?

With worldwide increase in the fuel prices, drivers are definitely affected badly.
Sympathies from other counties eg. Indonesia, china, Malaysia and many other countries had subdue the nations with the ability to reimburse the hike through cash rebates or reduced fuel hike or absorbing the fuel hike. In countries where its deemed to have riots and where its deemed to be unsafe, the least the government do is to pacify the people.
In Singapore, rather than to pacify the nation, to reimburse us, we had to face a higher fee. Higher fuel price hit, no pity yet we had to face more gantries, higher parking fees and a even higher fuel rate.

Is this fair? Or have we grown so coward that we had to endure the over laps of price increase, one layer after another? Or have our government take us for granted that they deemed its right to ride the hike on us and to push us further?
Don’t tell me about public transport; don’t try to advise me the usage. I have 2 dogs, tell me the pros of public transport and convince me to switch over.

Woes and helpless
