Planned fuel price hike<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
The government's plan to raise the price of fuel in April 2001
\nhas caused anxiety because the last hike was only in October
\n2000. A fuel price hike is burdensome to the people. Perhaps it
\nwould be a good idea to postpone the hike to the end of 2001,
\notherwise it is the common people who would have to bear the
\nburden.<\/p>\n
It is strange that there are always problems with fuel prices.
\nHasn't the state oil company Pertamina completed its internal
\nreforms?<\/p>\n
A fuel price increase will cause the prices of other
\ncommodities to soar. The price of fuel seems to increase every
\ntime the government plans to raise the salaries of civil
\nservants.<\/p>\n
The government should not raise the price of leaded gasoline
\neven if it raised the price of all other types of fuel. If the
\nprice of leaded gasoline is raised, virtually everything else
\nwill also go up in price. If the price hike is 20 percent, the
\nimpact will be very negative.<\/p>\n
The government must not forget that Article 33 of the 1945
\nConstitution stipulates that our economy is a joint undertaking
\naimed at pursuing a common interest. The Constitution is for the
\npeople, by the people and from the people.<\/p>\n
