No to new household kerosene

It is bad enough that the general population still has to cook with kerosene stoves on the floor and bear the risks. Just inhaling the fumes makes you cough.

Now they want to make something even more poisonous from 65 percent bunker oil (whatever that is) and 35 percent kerosene. They admit, that the carbon content is even higher "but (the stuff) is able to fire a stove" and they want to conduct a study on the side effects.

No study is needed, as knowing of the higher carbon content the stuff is automatically even more hazardous to people and the environment.

Stop the corruption and smuggling and you have plenty of money to go around for improvement of the country and stop these theoretical dumb calculations on paper that save trillions of rupiah by giving the people "bunker oil" to burn! Where is your conscience regarding the health of the population and environment?
