Penang Watch

After the fuel hike the Government was insisting loudly that bus fares won't follow suit. But now the Cabinet has approved a new fares structure-without any details, which is said to conform to CVLB regulations. Isn't the current structure also conform to the CVLB's regulations? Passengers have reason to fear for the worst-both in KL and Penang!
