VOI Today: Polemic Of Import Of Fuel And Oil Refinery Fire: Deliberately Like The Word Of The Minister Of Finance?

JAKARTA - Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadive the day before the fire at Pertamina's oil refinery in Dumai, Riau. Minister Purbaya said Pertamina was lazy in building an oil refinery.

According to him, Indonesia's dependence on ready-to-use imports of fuel, especially diesel and diesel from Singapore, makes energy subsidies swell to tens of billions of dollars each year.

Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) supports Purbaya's statement. The day after Purbaya's statement at the DPR, on Wednesday night, October 1, there was a fire in the HCC area of the Women's Oil Refinery of Seven Pertamina RU II Dumai, Riau.

The case of the oil refinery fire in Dumai, Riau is not the first time. The question is, why do these fire cases keep repeating itself? Is it deliberately burned like a Purbaya statement?

Why does Indonesia have to import fuel from Singapore? Is it related to corruption cases and oil and gas mafia such as Riza Chalid who has not been caught or other mafias that have not been revealed?

What should the government do so that Indonesia can suppress fuel imports, such as President Prabowo's target of energy independence?
