Very often I read in The Jakarta Post, that fuel prices were
increased by 126.6 percent. That's wrong! The word fuel is
inclusive of gasoline, diesel fuel and kerosene. But only the
price of kerosene rose by 126.6 percent.
May I remind journalists of media ethics. Report correctly!
WESTRA, Kuta, Bali
Note: The government raised retail fuel prices by an average of
126.6 percent. The price of kerosene rose by 300 percent.
