UNSTABLE IN FUEL PRICES

           At the end of March to raise the official government fuel price premium that was Rp 6,500 per liter to Rp 7,000 per liter. This raise is an impartiality of government to the low-class people. They re-raise fuel prices under the pretext of following the development of the world's oil and divert subsidies to other sectors. It doesn’t make sense because Indonesia is one of the producer and supplier of fuel to other countries.

Our petroleum reserves quite a lot and can be said to be surplus to fill the needs of the petroleum in the country. So, why are affected by world oil prices, while we are the oil producers.

They also said that the removal of fuel subsidy will be transferred to other sectors such as education, development, and health. So, the question becomes whether we've felt it all? Education is expensive and uneven, development is slow and expensive treatment we still feel today. Then where are the promises of the government? Are they close their eyes of the suffering of its people?

Once again the increase in fuel prices is binding on the low-class people and cause the prices of basic necessities also increased. Therefore, I expect the government to review the rise of this fuel price.
