"RBK" = "Petrol"

Long time ago, i heard from someone from oversea who told me:

"Jovi, you know which country make the branded shoes "RBK"?"

Halo, please, you think i am idiot? Sure from US la... Then he told me:

"Halo, then you must be idiot! Tell you what! It comes from Bayan Lepas."

"Arh??? You must be joking. Bayan Lepas?? Haha"

Then he explained:

"Actually, the shoes was first made in Bayan Lepas then send to US just to tag the brand "RBK" and send back here and sell. From a cheap shoes produced here, send back to US just for tagging, then send back here for sale at the expensive price."

Finally, i understand what he meant. Without thinking whether it is right or wrong, my mind immediately think of our petrol prices:

Haha. we got alot of resources here including the petrol. However, we do not dig, own or explore our petrol field. We outsource it to other country to do it for 20 - 30 years. In return, we got paid with certain amount of money. But, we, the people here, have to bear the burden of higher petrol price because of this idiot idea. The petrol belongs to us. But under this concession, other country owns the petrol and in return, they sell it back to us at much more higher price.

So...whatever they paid us previously will be returned back to them. It looks strange that why we have to pay for the things that we own? Why?

I think only someone in Power can answer it....Right??
