People have changed artistic taste too ...

After the fuel price hike two weeks ago, many fishermen, rubber tappers, coffeeshop operators and squatters have now sold off all their European oil paintings and stopped going to visit London and Paris for perfume shopping every few months

Instead, they have developed very economic and indigenous taste for popular art and entertainment in the streets of Kuala Lumpur. Their children have been transferred out from international to national schools.

People like university students, hawkers, office boys and girls, mamak barbers and factory workers have also stopped driving Rolls Royces, Mercedez Bends or Proton Perdanas already.
