Identification Please


First, it was sugar, then flour... now it's cooking oil (Palm Oil)! What's next? Ikan masin (Salted fish)??! Oh, I love ikan masin by the way... hehehe

This picture taken from a local Malay daily, Kosmo! speaks volumes for the cooking oil situation in the country. Imagine you have to line up and present identification before you can buy cooking oil!

What I don't understand is Malaysia is one of the world's largest palm oil producer and yet this happens... Malaysia Boleh!

    I'm not surprised with that, what with the way this country is run. Soon, we'd probably have to queue up and show our ID's to buy the newspaper!

    Ann - Actually, this happened in Rantau Panjang, in Terengganu (I think).

    So far, I'm able to buy cooking oil without any need to present my IC in KL. I hope it won't happen here, such a hassle... like you said.
