Stand corrected

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.
