Short of diesel fuel?
Short of diesel fuel?
From Warta Kota
People in Jakarta have had to face frequent shortages of automotive diesel fuel over the last several months and this shortage has not been completely overcome today, though the problem has often been discussed by the government and the House of Representatives (DPR).
It is hard to believe that such a shortage actually occurs in Jakarta as Indonesia is a petroleum producing country. Diesel fuel is frequently unavailable in several gas stations in certain areas of Jakarta, especially at night.
The scarcity of diesel fuel has caused certain gas stations, located closed to Kampung Melayu and Cililitan bus terminals, to be unable to serve city buses.
I hope that state-owned oil company Pertamina, which is experienced in managing fuel distribution, will be able to overcome the country's fuel shortages, including the shortage of diesel fuel in Jakarta.
