Kupang in need of more kerosene

KUPANG: After a quota reduction and price hike, long queues
for kerosene were observed in Kupang on Thursday.
Some people said they had been forced to cook over wood fires,
the old-fashioned way.

A liter of kerosene is now priced at Rp 2,000 from the
previous Rp 1,000. The kerosene quota for each person has
decreased -- from 3.75 liters per month to 2.28 liters -- for the
province's four million people.

House of Representatives legislator Anthon Mashur criticized
the kerosene price hike, saying the government is yet to increase
the price of fuel. -- JP
