He emphasised the need for collective responsibility in managing consumption, noting that 70% of the country's LPG requirements are met through imports amid intensifying global competition for energy resources. Bahlil called on the public to use LPG judiciously to ensure equitable distribution and bolster national energy resilience.",
        "content": "<p>The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Bahlil\nLahadalia, stated that the distribution of energy, including LPG, is\nrunning smoothly and in accordance with the established standards to\ndate. \u201cSo our fuel oil stocks are, insya Allah, in a safe condition,\nmeeting the minimum standards. Then, secondly, regarding LPG,\u201d Bahlil\nsaid at the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy office on Friday\n(27\/3\/2026). Nevertheless, he stressed that managing LPG requires joint\nefforts, particularly from the public in terms of consumption. This is\nconsidering that around 70% of the national LPG needs are still\nfulfilled through imports. \u201cLPG requires our collective effort, and I\nadvise the public to use LPG wisely. We know that 70% of our LPG is\nimported,\u201d he said. Bahlil assured that the LPG supply remains\nmaintained to date. Ships carrying supplies from various countries are\nalso still in the process of delivery as planned. \u201cBut up to today, the\nsituation is clear. The ships we purchased from several countries are\nstill on track. So insya Allah, it\u2019s safe,\u201d he explained. Despite this,\nhe reminded that the dynamic global conditions are making the\ncompetition for energy supplies increasingly tight. Therefore, wise use\nof LPG is key to maintaining national energy resilience. \u201cEven if we\nhave the money, but if the goods have to be competed for with other\ncountries, we really have to safeguard it,\u201d Bahlil asserted firmly. He\nalso urged the public not to use LPG excessively so that distribution\nremains equitable and national needs can be met properly.<\/p>",
