One simple example. When price of oil went up, the price of ferry ticket also went up. But when price of oil decline, does the cost of ferry ticket came down to? NOPE.
very agree on this.. i really hope the price of ferry wont go up..

on the other side, i think singapore gahmen won't allowed that to happened too as it may impact the tourism industry itself. the higher sgd to rp mean less tourist from indo will be spending their holiday on the sg..
