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.
