Rekan-rekan yang tinggal atau belajar di India pasti
tahu sekali bahwa harga transportasi, obat, pakaian
dan bahan pakaian disana murah meriah.  Padahal harga
bensin lebih dari 3 kali lipat daripada harga di
Indonesia.  

Sungguh lain keadaan di Indonesia.  Semua pada latah,
ongkos transport jadi naik, sementara pemilik armada
transport tetap tenang mencekik para sopir; sudah
menjadi rahasia umum bahwa dalam tempo 2 tahun taksi
akan kembali modal.  Seperti sudah saya bilang simpul
lemahnya pada usaha transportasi.  Jika ongkos
transportasi tidak naik, tidak ada alasan para
pedagang menaikkan harga barang jualannya.

Harga bensin naik, semua pada cengeng, mahasiswa juga.
 Memang benar, kita ini sebetulnya belum siap untuk
merdeka.

Salam,
RM

P.S. :  Swear, saya sendiri siap menerima kenyataan
bahwa harga bensin tidak bisa semurah sekarang.  Susah
juga hidup di Jakarta tanpa mobil.  Pilihan sudah saya
jatuhkan pada sebuah mobil yang terbukti tangguh,
ukuran mesin kecil, tapi didalam terasa lapang. Merk
apa ? ini rahasia karena saya tidak ingin promosi
untuk merk itu.

Susilo warns traders, transportation operators against
price hikes 

JAKARTA (Antara): President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
conducted an impromptu inspection in several towns
around Jakarta on Wednesday to get a closer look at
the impact of the government's decision on Monday to
raise fuel prices by an average of 30 percent.

The inspection was conducted as protests and strikes
continued for a second day after the fuel price hikes,
which came into effect on Tuesday.

During the tour the President warned traders
andtransportation operators against hikes of prices of
basic commodities and transportation fares.

Along with several government ministers, Susilo met
drivers at a bus terminal in the West Java town of
Karawang, before continuing on to visit the main
market of another West Java town, Rengasdengklok,
where traders told him prices had already begun to
climb after the fuel price increase.

Hundreds of demonstrators rallied in Bandung while
hundreds of students occupied a state radio station
and a gasoline station in Semarang, Central Java.
Student protests were also reported in Jambi.

Public transportation drivers were on strike demanding
higher fares in several cities.

Susilo ordered security forces not to clash with
protesters, as National Police Chief Gen. Da'i
Bachtiar ordered two-thirds of his officers to remain
on standby in case of violence.

In Jakarta alone at least 13,000 police, soldiers and
city personnel were on hand to quell potential
uprisings.

The President also called on governors and mayors to
check price hikes in markets and public transportation
vehicles.

"Make sure there are no uncontrolled price hikes. This
is the duty of the government," he said. (**)
