        "summary": "Water charges I read in The Jakarta Post that as of Jan. 4 tap water charges will increase by another 30 percent. This greatly disturbs me. Why are we, PAM water users, burdened with such a raise, while almost 50 percent of the tap water is used by people not paying for it. Why am I forced to subsidize the sloppiness of the government c\/o PAM, which cannot get its act together by controlling the use of tap water and making people pay for it?",
