Good-bye to the 'Post'

It is with sadness that I have to bid good-bye to The Jakarta Post after subscribing it for more than 10 years. With the price increase, it has become a little too expensive for me and my family to subscribe to this paper. We can understand the need to increase the subscription price, but having to pay Rp 66,000 per month for a paper is a little too much, especially when a lot of other things are expensive as well. We are going to feel deprived of your presence for sometime, but hopefully the other paper that we are going to subscribe to can fill in the gap. I would appreciate knowing if some of the readers feel the same about this. Thank you and good-bye!
