Fuel of choice - Petronas

When I first started driving, my first choice of fuel was Mobil.

That's because I was a fan of the McLaren F1 team which was sponsored by Mobil.

Back then, I even used its Mobil1 lubricant oil for my car.

My second choice was Petronas as at that time I considered the Suber Petronas team as my second favourite F1 team.

That was until I fell in love with someone who preferred Shell.

Yup, I actually switched to fuelling up at Shell stations for a few years because of that.

Later on, that person switched to Petronas and I followed suit.

I know, it sounds stupid, but that's how I ended up using Petronas fuel till today.

I only go to the others if I can't find a Petronas station.

Well, I'm quite happy with Petronas now.

Makes me feel patriotic too, okay.

After all, its Mercedes AMG Petronas team is the F1 champion for the past several years now.


Even though I'm no longer a big fan of F1, it feels good to see the team sponsored by the national oil company doing well.

So, that's the story of my fuel preference.

Today, there was this story,

Government defends Petron as its fuel provider


I think the story by Bernama was weirdly written.

But never mind, this is why the story comes about,

excerpts;

It issued the statement in response to criticism from former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and PAS Deputy President Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man on the appointment of Petron Fuel International into the panel of fuel suppliers for government vehicles via its indent cards. 

Okay, it's actually because of Mirzan Mahathir's interests in Petron more than anything else.

Honestly, I don't really care about such allegations of nepotism anymore.

I have accepted the fact that Malaysians don't care about it.

That's because PKR, DAP, and Pribumi Bersatu which top leadership include family members are doing well.

So, I'm nowadays fine with it too.

Turns everything into a family business. It doesn't matter.

This is Malaysia Baru, okay.

Well, whatever it is, I think I'll stick with Petronas.

It's Malaysians' after all.

Petron....err, I don't even really know the brand lah.

If I feel like switching one day, I think I'll go to Shell.

Reminds me of those days when I was so in love....hahaha.

Eh, here's a song,


Cheers.

  1. Annie,

    You are weird :)

    Fancy choosing which petrol brand based on your boyfriend :)

    I have no particular preference for fuel - I catch public transport :)

    I do use my sister's kapcai occassionally to get around my kampung when I visit and when I need to refuel, I use Shell only because it is the nearest to me.

      You bgn tidoq think Petronas. You makan think Petronas. You berak oso think Petronas. You nak tidoq balik oso u must think Petronas..

      So long as you use electricity .. you termakan subsidy ehsan dari Petronas. Cannot run wan unless you live in a cave.

      When you think of Petronas, think of Arwah Tun Abdul Razak. When u think of Tun Razak, no choice.. must think of Najib, cannot run wan as he is Tun Razak's son.

    1. Annie,

      Instead of your normal cliched technique of “start with cerita dongeng, then in 3rd para, make it political" why not write about something of great importance to all you Umgnok macai?

      Which is...

      "WHERE THE F*** IS ZAHID HAMIDI?????”

      Betul tak?

      Where is he?

      Leader of oppo, okay.

      Right now that uncouth kera keling Lokman Adam is trying to become the new Jamal Jamban.

      Loud, brainless, biadap.

      Is this the "new Umno"?

      You want Lokman Adam to be the face of the party?

      You want Najis Tong Rosak to be the face of the party?

      LOL.

      Good luck with that.

      Notice every remaining Umno leader with a brain (a small handful) are remaining completely silent.

      It’s only the brain-dead Umgnok bloggers like Raja P*ki Kotor (RPK) who think that making Najib a hero is going to win the hearts of Malaysians. (Of course Annie would not be dumb enough to cut & paste long statements from Najib in her blog - whoops : )

      So again…

      "WHERE THE F*** IS ZAHID HAMIDI?????”

      Because all Lokman Adam is going to achieve is what Jamal Jamban achieved in Selangor.

      And we know how that ended...

    4. Annie,

      Nope, I am not an Umno macai.

      However, as a Very Neutral Blogger, you must be quite interested in both sides, kan: )

      So...why are Zahid, Tok Pa, KJ etc all so quiet?

      In the case of AR Dahlan and SS Keruak, understood lah.

      Those guys are lalang anyway.

      But why is the most corrupt of the Old Umngok - people like Annuar Musang and Tajuddin Ali Baba ITM - now the face of the party?

      Seems like the fastest way for Umno to fuck itself faster into oblivion, right?

      Save them, O Neutral Annie!

    2. Of-course Dr.M must honor the agreement on succession, as planned... i.e. 2 years or slightly more.
      However it also depend on Rakyat's acceptance, especially in constituent where a by-election will be held to crown him as the country's PM no. 8.
      What if he lose the backdoor à la-Kajang move which is an outright abuse of democratic process?
      What if there were allegation of money changing hands or return-favors in vacating the seat for him?

      Like the 'Mamak' once said... only the man himself could negate his own prospect of becoming PM.

      And now... Hishammudin Rais' sailang exposé had made supporters of DAP skeptical of him after his wife demanded Rafizi, not Guan Eng, as Finance Minister.

      Makes people think... its all about money, after all.

  9. I am beginning to think that all umno MACHAIs are a paranoid bunch. All the time thinking that PH goverment naik because of FITNAH. So now they want to emulate PH'S techinc of propaganda by means of menghasut guna fitnah. Unfortunately none of U are good as HISHAMUDDIN RAIS. Hishamuddin Rais's 'Sailang Series' are based on Facts - taken from the news in the medias. For example Rafizi did wailing after Tun Mahadir made the announcement regarding the 3 top minister's post in his cabinet. And Tun Mahadir did spent hours to be installed as the PM after PH win the election. Hishamuddin only told the story about what happened di belakang tabir, causing Rafizi to wail...HEHEHE. Takda fitnah di sini. However, when UMNO bloggers started wailing about PETRON, I seek Pakcik WIKI's help to know whether Mukhriz Mahadir is indeed, the owner. Information from Pakcik WIKI tak sebut langsung nama Mukhriz. The biggest share holder is MAYBANK. If I am not mistaken, Mukhriz sold his share in PETRON in 2013, that is why I am surprised why people make so much HOHA about the matter. Ini memang betul-betul membesarkan persepsi!...hehehe

    He also told me that Petron was the best petrol in terms of fuel economy for long distance driving. But I never try to confrim his assertion since I only pump petrol at Petronas (helping local brand mar).

    "Cerita apek dpt diskaun beli rumah sama macam khir toyo tapi sorang dibebaskan tapi sorang lagi kena penjara. Ini baru cerita best..."

    Memang 'cerita best' bila, kes rasuah beli rumah banglo antara Khir Toyo & Guan Eng ada persamaan, tetapi 'hasilnya' berbezanya:-

    1). Masa & ketika mereka berdua diseret ke Mahkamah berbeza.
    2). 'Motif' mereka berdua diseret ke mahkamah, juga berbeza.

    Khir Toyo, nasibnya agak malang. Hujung 2007, di kritik hebat kerana incident MB hadiah penyapu kepada Yang Dipertua Majlis Daerah Hulu Selangor (MDHS) kerana kutipan-cukai tidak memuaskan.
    2008, Khir Toyo hilang jawatan MB setelah Selangor jatuh kepada PR dimana PAS adalah sekutu, bersama DAP. Ada yang mendakwa, BN Selangor kalah PRU12 kerana penjawat Awam marah kerana diaibkan dengan 'hadiah penyapu'.
    Sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga, pembelian banglo dibawah harga pasaran dibongkar oleh Kerajaan Pembangkang Selangor. Pada penghujung 2010 dihadap kemahkamah. Akhir 2011 dijatuhi hukuman 12 bulan penjara dan rayuannya ditolak pada 2013. Akhirnya, pada 2015 Mahkamah Persekutuan, sekali lagi menolak rayuan beliau.

    Oleh ynag demikian... ada yang berpendapat Khir Toyo di'kambing-hitam'kan sebagai 'bukti-teladan' bahawa UMNO/BN tidak bertolak-ansur dengan rasuah, sehinggakan pemimpin tertinggi sendiri pun, kerajaan BN sanggup seret kemahkamah. Maklumlah, kes beliau 'hangat' menjelang PRU13 (2013).

    Manakala kes Guan Eng, pada pendapat/persepsi umum, beliau diseret kemahkamah... bermula July 2016... untuk memburuk-burukkan DAP, sebagai persediaan menghadapi PRU1 14. Lebih buruk lagi, Kerajaan Persekutuan(BN) seolah-olah teragak-agak untuk memulakan proceeding Mahkamah apabila PRU 14 semakin hampir, kemungkinan besar kerana gusar beliau terlepas dari sabitan bersalah atas alasan 'political conspiracy' untuk menafikan/sabotaj MB Pulau Pinang dari bertanding PRU14.
