Think of the people's needs

From Pikiran Rakyat

After the increase in fuel prices, I have been questioning what are our legislatures in the House of Representatives (DPR) mean by "... for the sake of people", when speaking to the media. Which people?

The aspiration of the people has not heeded by members of the DPR. Earning sufficient income, they are not really affected by the fuel hike. But, people who are not as affluent, like those living in the outskirts of the city or villages, the fuel price hike is an additional burden.

The savings from the reduced fuel subsidy, if enjoyed directly by the people, will be more beneficial and meaningful. It would be even more so if the funds were allocated for education and health care. This has even been reported in the media.
