Life is Getting Hard in Jakarta

Everything is difficult since fuel prices increase. Premium gasoline Rp 6,000 a liter from Rp 4,500, a liter. Solar diesel Rp 4,300 to Rp 5,500. Kerosene Rp 2,000 to Rp 2,500. On this situation, the rich are getting richer, and so are the poor. The policy made impact to the poor and low class in all province in Indonesia. The cash aid or BLT (Bantuan Langsung Tunai) seems didn’t impact to the poor families. It doesn’t make our problem solved, but getting worse, yes. Creating a new job for young people is a better way instead of giving subsidies. They can earn money and buy food, milk for theirs baby, clothes, and rent a room.

Every days on TV we can watch the students, activist, labors still protest the government policies and against the rising fuel cost. We hopes everythings is gonna be normal soon and stable. Insya allah, Amin…
