increasing price of oil

Increasing the price of oil in Indonesia will be known on 15 Apr 2005. However, how much will it be rise, is still unknown. Most Indonesian are already in poverty and by increasing the price, will not that make these people's living worst qw it is already hard for them to survive in these days especially for working class people and below who live in a big city such as Jakarta. There is also a prediction that there will be a riot as aresult of the increasing price of oil (common). Yeah, it can be said that the oil price in Indonesia may be the cheapest and every year Pertamina loss a lot of profits.

Instead of increasing the price of oil, the government should actually increase the price of others as rising up the price of oil will also increase the price of others, therefore nowadays, it can be said that oils is also one of our essential needs. Rising up the price in this time of economic's situation may not be a good decision to make. I believe that before 15 Apr 2005, there will be some people(who sell oil) who will abuse and increase the oil price first before the announcement.

Not only have they been bit by natural disasters such as floods, tsunami,and now the price of oil would be increase too. If the government would like to rise up the oil's price, they should do something which will benefit society in other sectors such as free education, lowering the cost of living etc.
