BBM price will be increased..OMG

@nurseclare : BBM is abbreviation of fuel price..iam sorry...so maybe you did not understand..the government in our country had planned for increasing the petrol price.. @sishy : you are right thanks for giving clearly explanation for her

No, I think they are talking about petrol price...

oh my! i sound so stupid here.. really sorry o ashamed of myself..

Is that real? the big demonstration in year 1998 will be happened again? um... Sounds like Chinese people will become their target again...

i dont think so megalia.. wow..i never see you here..nice too see you here.. don`t worry..i dont think the 1998 demonstration will be happening again...its different case.. the sin of soeharto is bigger than SBY government.. and we are tired of Soeharto..he is too older for our president

are you sure?? its different the case when we unite for make Soeharto resigned from his position

Indeed, the government is always selfish. And less thinking of the people. People who have to fight, can not rely on the government.

thats right how come they never make surveys and think when they make that policy the calculation is not like when you calculate by your computer software

yes i know it was a government reason.. but why the government never think their people suffering?? if they insist that this is the last option, why they did not make the efficiency in their budget??

okay, we agree that the world fuel price is so high but i think why the government did not make many policy for preventing too much corruption in every outcome of government?? can you imagine the corruption was done by many government officer maybe can reach a half from the fee for "subsidi of BBM"?? i think the government maybe can make the policy for increasing BBM price for the luxury cars.. when you had a luxury car, you must be rich.. so why the government did not make the first things for the rich man??

Corruption is out of topic actually but I'll try to answer your question Government already done his worked to reduced corruption (even not work / succeed properly) but problem is when legitimate government try to reduced corruption, it always opposed by legislative (DPR). Government will never done their job properly if they always disturb by other institution. Back on BBM Just luxury cars ....? Oh common, luxury cars only 5% (maybe less), the rest on public transportation, distribution transport and private transportation (car non luxury (5%) and motorcycle (more than 50%)). People who own car (luxury or not) realized they consumed high fuel, so they use their vehicle wisely. But people who own motorcycle not wise. Most of them use their vehicle for unnecessary thing and this WILL consumed fuel higher than other transportation. Just like I told you before, for 50 meters they use motorcycle .... that definitely not wise .....

i know its related with the policy and politics economy and politics was so related but can you imagine if the politic policy can influence the society and country economics?? and the policy for increasing the fuel price, will give "disaster" for many people

Yes, I can imagine the effects that an increase in fuel price would have in almost anything. If the finance of a country is good then a subsidy can be provided if it is sustainable to avoid any "disasters". But if the country is not in a good financial position, it surely needs to do something to counter the escalating cost. It is bad that the ordinary people, especially the poor, will be hit the hardest but is there a better way other than not raising the price? Maybe you can say that the authorities should change their way of doing things so that the whole system can be more transparent and efficient, and thus, to minimize the wastage of public funds, and with that savings, help can be provided to the people who need it. But for that to happen, reforms are needed. The whole political and economical structures, the systems all need to be revised to streamline to get rid of the blood suckers. It will take time and determination to achieve that. At the meantime, the authorities can only work with what they are having at their hands. Something must be done, even if it is a painful one.

really? so what is your opinion about it maratus?? are you still student?? if yes, what is the effect for you as student if the government really increase the price of BBM??

i had graduated from Hasanuddin university 6 years ago.. now iam lecturer in private academy in my hometown..

If BBM price increase it's gonna make every thing prices increase too. As me for a student it's gonna make my transportation cost increase. Yes, I am still study in the forth semester physic department in State University Malang (Universitas Negeri Malang). What about you?

i dont know maybe they had no heart and eyes.. meybe they forget that we are their people maybe... and maybe until mostly of us suffering and die because of hunger and poverty..

thats right i think the government must be careful when many poor people because of this policy they must be responsible for that
