Abolish exit tax

In view of the economic crisis, which is a great burden to citizens and business people alike, I suggest that the minister of finance review all insensible and inefficient regulations, including: 1) abolish the fiscal (exit) tax for Indonesians and foreign nationals residing in Indonesia; and 2) abolish the export tax for cooking oil, crude palm oil, and improve the quality of the apparatuses to prevent exporters from breaking the regulations.
