Show Notes

Long queues and stockpiling ensue, with drivers, school transport owners, and taxi drivers bracing for increased costs. Experts warn of potential May hike and economic instability, reminiscent of the Russia-Ukraine shock. Government offers temporary relief with fuel levy cut, but long-term solutions remain elusive as prices continue to rise.
