The Increasing of Refined Fuel Oil’s Price



Nowadays, government has a plan to increase the refined fuel oil’s price on April next month. There are many reactions of people who against this policy, especially for the middle society. However, I think government should not take this policy in two reasons.

 First, the increasing of refined fuel oil’s price will influence the number of poverty in Indonesia. It will increase 2 percent bigger than before. According to the research that have done by some institutions said that the compensation fee of the increasing of  refined fuel oil’s price, about Rp. 18,1 trillion can reach only 30 percent of poverty in Indonesia. In addition, it cannot spread evenly and surely the problem of poverty in this country become worse because government cannot find the right way to solve this problem. We can see the government experience when they increased the price of refined fuel oil in 2005, then they made a program by giving BLT, but it could not be successful. Clearly, this government’s policy just made the poverty problem in Indonesia more complicated. On the other side, our ex-president Megawati Soekarnoputri also disagreed with the government’s policy, she said, “if the case only choosing either  increasing or limiting the using of refined fuel oil that can harm society especially for low classes, absolutely I refuse it.”

Second, the increasing of refined fuel oil’s price will influence the economical problem in this country. The economical problem means the price of daily need, the transportation cost, and many others. Nowadays, government has not decided this policy yet, but the daily need have increased. Moreover, there is a big possibility that the transportation cost will incearse drasticly. It shows that the policy of increasing the refined fuel oil truly gives real bad effect in society. Besides, Ita Nur Janah, a college student of Faculty of Economy said, “I do not agree with government. If the price of refined fuel oil increase, I am as a student has not ready yet if the price of the daily need will increase too”. In addition, acording to the  Research and Development of Kompas about the government‘s way by the increasing refined fuel oil’s price can solve the economical problem and the result is 51,1% they were sure , 36,51% they were not sure, and 11,11% they were abstention. Indeed, the price of refined fuel oil always related to the economical problem that happend in around us.
 Even though many people against this policy, but our President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has reason why government should take this policy. He said, “the decision to increase the refined fuel oil’s price is saving our economical in the future.” Besides, Hatta Rajasa also supported the goverment policy. He explained that it was the correct way to increase the refined fuel oil’s price. He added that this increasing would followed by inceasing of subsidy for society. It could be the school’s operational fee (BOS), health assurance, BLT, and many others until this increasing do not influence for the poverty in Indonesia. However, the goverment’s reason to increase the price of refined fuel oil is not the right way. We can see the goverment’s experience when they increased the price of refined fuel oil, but it still gave the bad effect for society.
In conclusion, there are still alot of effects which are caused of the goverment’s policy about increasing the price of refined fuel oil, such as increasing the number of poverty and economical problem.  However, government has logical reasons why they should take this decision. In my opinin, for this case I think government should look  for another way to solve government’s problem without increasing the price of refined fuel oil, but if the government have to take this policy, they should know how to prevent those kind of effects harm the society in Indonesia.
