JAKARTA - The Minister of Trade (Mendag) Zulkifli Hasan alias Zulhas ensured that his party would seriously eradicate the fraudulent practice of reducing the volume of 3 kg LPG. Zulhas said that the business license for rogue perpetrators who reduced the volume of 3 kg LPG gas would be revoked if they did not heed the warning given.

"Yes, they are clear, right, nipu. This is the business actor (tricking), it doesn't match the SPBE. Well, this can be revoked if the permit is not heeded once," Zulhas told reporters at the Patra Trading SPBE Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, Saturday, May 25.

"This is also a concern for Pertamina and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. Naughty entrepreneurs are reminded, yes, if they are not revoked (business license) because that is the rule. It is very reminded, not heeded, the business license must be revoked," he continued.

Zulhas asked for supervision of the fraudulent practice to continue. He also asked that the rogue Elpiji Fuel Filling Station (SPBBE) immediately stop the fraudulent practices committed because it was detrimental to the community.

"So, we will continue to carry out surveillance and I also ask my friends to be reported so that SPBE-SPBE knows and stop illegal, trivial and detrimental activities in the community. Otherwise, we will monitor all of Indonesia and also invite the regents to do the same," he said.

The commemoration of the revocation of the business license was conveyed by Zulhas when revealing the practice of cheating on the reduction of 3 kg LPG volume in 11 SPBE spread across Jakarta, Tangerang to Bandung. He said the volume of 3 kg LPG was reduced to 2,200 to 2,800 grams or only 2,2-2.8 kg.

"Yes, the name is if the business is naughty, yes, it's naughty. Later, we remind Pertamina to know that the government knows that SPBE is naughty, curating, cheating, reducing sizes. So it will be reminded to immediately stop its actions that harm the community and that, right, including theft. Selling it for 3 kg, how come it contains 2.2, that's called stealing, stealing too. So, stop it," said Zulhas

"Yes, 11 points have been found, on average, one day the loss is calculated at almost 2 billion (per year). So, if there are 11 imagines, especially if all of Indonesia," he added.
