We paying enough tax in this country,we need to work as a team because if we not individually we not going to win this battle, unless we all ready to park our cars and use public transport, and another thing that most people are not aware of is that, it is going to double charge us as all food transporting companies they’ll make sure they getting their money back by increasing their fees, then everything goes up. We also have rights as public to say NO, they might be our leader but we the government, this issue doesn’t need a political party, but us to stand up for our rights that’s all.
