While everybody is affected by the increase of not just oil price but i think all the other commodities , some priviledged officials are not. Would you believe they can just request that a certain allowance in kind be converted to cash simply because they cannot consumed such in kind benefit for the month. This situation saddened me, for almost all of us can hardly make both ends meet with other expenditures to settle, ie., childrens enrollment and tuition fees, children's daily allowances, utilities, rentals and other payables and yet there are some who can just served communication asking for such??????
