Students protest fuel shortage

BALIKPAPAN, East Kalimantan: Dozens university students took to
the street on Wednesday, protesting against the government for
the fuel scarcity in the city. The students, who also staged a
protest in front of the office of the Balikpapan city office,
lashed out at the city government for being sluggish in handling
the fuel scarcity. They said the oil scarcity was ironic given
that the largest oil refinery in the country is located in the
city.

Amir, protest coordinator and the chief of Indonesian
Nationalist Student Movement (GMNI), demanded that the government
quickly take concerted efforts to tackle the fuel crisis. --
