Belitung port authority

Belitung port authority

From Neraca

I am an indigenous inhabitant of the South Sumatra island of
Belitung whose only business is marketing fish flour and honey to
people in neighboring islands. This business which I set up
recently has created jobs for hundreds of fishermen and honey
farmers on the island and incomes to support our families.

However, as this business is flourishing some officials at Pos
II, Sunda Kelapa port authorities impose illegal fees on our
goods for shipment. We are even being compelled to spend a lot of
money and time to obtain permits from the authorities. Worst
still, the officials often mess up our goods on the pretext of
inspection.

It is really deplorable that these officials are seemingly
unaware that their disservice will kill our business and
impoverish hundreds of the local people.
