The Real Indonesian Spirit

Angry protests as Indonesia hikes fuel prices.

Indonesian motorists are now paying 33.3 percent more to fill their tanks with premium gasoline at 6,000 rupiah (65 cents) a litre, while diesel fuel for transportation has leapt 27.9 percent to 5,500 rupiah.

Goverment hands out cash to the poor to soften the blow of 30 per
cent rise in fuel prices

Indonesia is handing out US$1.5 billion (Rp14.1 trillion) in cash to its poorest residents to soften the blow of big fuel price rises a move that might bring the government short-term relief after weeks of protests.

The last fuel price rise in Indonesia was a whopping 126 percent in 2005, sparking mass demonstrations but no long-term unrest.

Analysts welcomed the rises and said other Asian would have to follow suit or watch their budgets break under the weight of massive fuel subsidies.

Taiwan's new government has decided to end a freeze on domestic gasoline prices from June, while Malaysia is reportedly looking at making wealthy consumers pay more for fuel under a new two-tier subsidy system.

Even regional giant India is reeling from the oil price onslaught, with the petroleum secretary admitting Friday that a fuel price hike was "inevitable" to bail out state oil firms selling at hugely discounted rates.

"I think this move is positive for Indonesia in terms of its fiscal position, It looks like that's where most governments are heading right now." Royal Bank of Scotland economist Euben Paracuelles said in Singapore on Friday.

  3. Oh Bono,
    Saya feel just awful about this. Saya know that much of this is due to my country and our current leaders.

    It makes me cry. Saya pray several times a day for change.

    Juga, sila know that when saya shared back the EC credits it was a sign of friendship.

    Then saya happen to think that maybe to awak and your culture it might be seen as an insult to return a gift.

    If this is so then saya ask forgiveness for my ignorance.

    Salam my new friend!!

  7. @Felinesopher - I agree with U. Oil stock is Ok but the price is increasing like a rocket. Pesonally I felt the oil price has been manipulated by small parties just to make majorities suffer.

  11. Jika segelintir yang melakukan keburukan melalui kenaikan harga minyak, dan mengakibatkan kemudharatan kepada yang ramai, maka pemimpin sesebuah negara tidak seharusnya tunduk kepada tekanan sebegini. Bagaimana pendapat Bonoriau..?
