At a coffee stall near the Central market, sitting around a table of 4 motor-taxi drivers, a man with sun glasses raises an opened question about “What is thing easy to get flammable and price never fall down?” A man response quickly the answer would be “a gasoline”. The sun glasses man said that it is wrong. The rest men articulate something to convince that the answer is right. However, answer it is still wrong. Because answer is partly right. He indicates that gasoline is easily flammable but price is not always up without falling down. The right answer is “a gasoline in Cambodia” because the price of gasoline has never reflexive to the international crude oil price. By seeing a good example like this I have been pushed to criticize the way that government controls the price.
Recently, the international crude oil has fallen down from 100USD to 91USD per barrel. Though the falling down is significantly revealed, the Cambodia oil price still keeps at it own peace.

Great tale–leaving message behind.
This is what we should worry about, and advocate to the gov’t to take action!
