Economic Effect



Assalamualaikum...




 Life has been quite hard these days. With the increasing price of goods, gas, electricity and water have affected my life as a student quite a bit. Well, those thing does happen even back in my own hometown. My mom has also been talking about it over the skype that prices of most of the things in Malaysia has gone up and it gives them a little tension. Back here in Britain it goes the same and for some parts it is even worse, you can read it here. Even my lecturer from Ireland had been talking about it in my last tutoring session, sharing the same thought as me. In my tutoring session with her last week she'd mention that the difference between life expenses between Britain and Ireland is quite vast. Back in her hometown people keep talking about how cheap Britain is to live but she said that was such a bullshit now as everything goes skyrocketing. She even set her gas heater for only 8 hours per week to save budget, well thats how to the extent, we here living now. And the most frightening news had been cracking here in my university since the last 2 weeks. The house rent has increased to the amount that is seems unbearable £ 401 per month. Kami sbg pelajar2 Malaysia kat sini sgtlah risau dan gundah gulana sbbnya elaun kami xlah banyak mana pon. Lagilah runsing bila sewa rumah dah melonjak naik hingga tahap macam tu skali. As a result many of us who are staying in campus decided to move out to find a better way to save some budget. I did thought of moving but looking at my lazy habit who will likely to miss class when i'm far from school keeps me thinking thrice on moving out. Out of 4ppl in the house right now, 3 are moving out at the end of the next summer holiday and I'll be staying alone la nampaknya or else i'll forced to move out from the house or i'll forced to stay with the locals which i don't really prefer. What to do? Actually there's big problem with Uk's economic condition right now, they are cutting cost for education and the cost for every student paying for the university fee has increased to about £8000 per academic year if i'm not mistaken and this measure has brought many small university like mine to a dead end. They need to generate money to avoid the university from being shut down, what a pity. One of the measure to secure the university account is by increasing the student's house rent and it is obviously we are being victimised here. How sad it sounds that we need t pay extra cash to help the university and i'm actually really against that thing. It is so unfair that they are taking our money to survive and knowing that we are government sponsored students keeps their heads high. One obvious situation is most of the locals students are staying outside now, complaining that the halls fee is too much for them and knowing that we Malaysian had secured amount of money given to us every month they are thinking of using us in that way. How nasty they are. The new sets of rent will begin when the new term starts in Autumn 2011 and i really2 need to save up alot starting now. Pheww
