People get more confused

From Merdeka

In the last few days, stickers have been made bearing the slogan "I love Rupiah".

This confuses me since I cannot see who actually does not love rupiah. Without exception, common people like me, accounting for over 98 percent of the population, love rupiah although it is very difficult for us to obtain a lot it.

Besides, how can common people like me keep U.S. dollars since we have never seen any and do not know what they actually look like.

I think U.S. dollars are owned and kept by no more than 2 percent of the population, comprising of business tycoons, government officials and those whose positions are related to financial sources.

So do not let the present monetary situation confuse common people. Just realize that prices of daily necessities are increasing with each passing day, especially as Idul Fitri approaches. This situation will only create a headache for common people, including civil servants.
