Punca minyak naik harga, kita sokong tindas rakyat pula.

Semasa membentangkan Kajian Seapruh penggal RM 9 semalam, PM berkata antara sebab kenaikan harga minyak dunia yang terpaksa diserap oleh kerajaan dengan mengstruktur semula subsidi sehingga rakyat terpaksa membayar 78 sen lebih untuk petrol dan 1 ringgit untuk disel seliter adalah kerana kekurangan minyak sebab perkembangan ekonomi yang pesat di India dan China. Ana tak nak ulas apa-apa tetapi cuba baca apa yang di ulas oleh Presiden OPEC ini dan fahamilah sendiri kenapa harga minyak naik.
Semasa Dr Mahathir menjadi PM dan Presiden OIC beliau telah mengesyorkan supaya negara OIC menggunakan Dinar emas dalam dagangan mereka dan kalau sekarang ini masalah dengan matawang Amerika akibat krisis subprima, maka kenapa kita kita cuba beralih kepada Euro pula saperti yang sedang diusahakan oleh Iran dan Venezeula tu.

OPEC president says sees no demand for more oil

ALGIERS – Oil producers cannot pump more without demand for extra suppy, and at the moment that demand does not exist, OPEC President Chakib Khelil said on Monday.
He added in an interview on Algerian state radio that supply and demand was balanced and prices would remain high until year-end due to speculation, developments in the dollar and possible policy decisions by the European central bank.

“Now, you know that demand has shrunk this year and continues to shrink, and so demand is not there to absorb supplementary production.

“People will tell you, 'where is the demand so I can produce more?'”

On prices, Khelil said: “It's impossible to predict. Anything could happen. All I can say is that prices will be high, and will remain high until the end of the year.”

In answer to a question, he said he did not think oil would rapidly breach the $200 a barrel mark, adding prices would continue to perform their habitual “yo-yo” in relation to factors like geopolitical tensions and the dollar.

Oil prices hit a record near $140 a barrel last week and have doubled from a year ago, stoking inflation and triggering protests worldwide.

U.S. crude (CLc1) and London Brent crude (LCOc1) futures rose more than $2 on Monday, spurred by disruptions in Nigerian crude output and supply worries stoked by escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.

SAUDI INCREASE

Top exporter Saudi Arabia confirmed it will lift production for a second time to 9.7 million barrels per day (bpd) in July, its highest since 1981, and pledged on Sunday to pump even more if the market demanded it.

But Khelil said the issue of extra supply was beside the point.

“The problem is not about pumping or not pumping. If there isn't the demand, why would you want to pump?” he said.

“Saudi Arabia is not going to pump for the sake of pumping. They are going to pump to be able to repond to a demand. There is no real demand (for extra output) on the market as we see it.”

“There is a balance between supply and demand and stocks are adequate – currently at about 53 days of stocks, while last year they stood at 51 days.”

“There is no problem with fundamentals...which in no way justify current high prices, which are due to speculation and the use of financial instruments and investments in oil commodities to generate profits that investors are unable to make in other sectors.”

Khelil said the only significant new oil market factors in the past year were the U.S. subprime crisis, the rise of biofuels, and tensions involving Israel and Iran – in other words nothing specifically to do with oil supply/demand.

Turning to world refinery capacity, Khelil said this could not be increased rapidly because major industrial investments were needed.

“It takes time – increasing refinery capacities cannot be done overnight. It takes four to five five years,” he said. “The problems of refining will be with us for a fairly long time.”

Algeria was investing in a $28 billion dollar, five-year programme to boost petrochemical and refinery capacity, he said

Maknanya spekulasilah yang menjadi punca ketegangan dunia, sebab itu Islam dari awal lagi menentang sebarang unsur ini dalam perniagaan , ini semua adalah kerja Yahudi laknatullah.Samapi bila kita nak sedar tak tau la, Pak arab nu lagi teruk, duit minyak yang banyak menjadikan mereka dah lupa akan pesan nabi dan tuhan supaya menjaga amanah khazanah bumi ni dengan baik, lakukan untuk kebaikan Islam dan keselamatan ummah. Tapi yang maha dahsyat, merekalah sebenarnya yang menjadi ibu segala kegelisahan kita semua.
Moga dijauhi Allah dari sebarang bencana yang merosakkan, kerana negara yang banyak minyak adalah negara OIC majoritinya.
