JAKARTA - Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia opened his voice regarding the housewife who died while queuing for 3 kilograms of LPG (kg) in Pamulang, South Tangerang.
Met during an inspection at the LPG agent, Bahlil expressed his apology for the sad news.
"Yes, we, the first government, apologize if this happens," Bahlil told the media crew in Palmerah, Tuesday, February 4.
He added that the previous government's decision to prohibit retailers from selling 3 kg LPG was solely a step to organize and improve the distribution of subsidized LPG.
"What we did this morning (sidak) and tonight as a response. For us, we want our people to get (elpiji) well and easily," continued Bahlil.
He added that currently the government has allowed retailers to re-sell LPG to the public but by changing their status to sub-baseline.
"On the direction of the President, the first is all suppliers, yes, we function the existing suppliers for them per day starting to become sub-baselines," Bahlil added.
Bahlil said, later this sub-division will be equipped with IT facilities such as the Pertamina Merchant Application (MAP) application which will be used to record 3 kg LPG users. This application, said Bahlil, will record buyer data, the number of gas cylinders purchased along with prices so that subsidy distribution can really be controlled.
Just so you know, previously a woman named Yonih (62) was exhausted until she finally died after queuing to buy a 3 kg LPG gas cylinder.

According to Dedi, Yonih's son-in-law, the elderly woman was exhausted when carrying two 3 kg gas cylinders from the agent to her house on Jalan Kampung Ciledug, West Pamulang, Pamulang, South Tangerang (Tangsel), Monday, February 3.
"I think it's because of exhaustion," said Dedi when met at the funeral home, Monday, February 3.
Dedi explained, before falling until finally dying, Yonih brought two tubes to exchange for a cylinder filled with gas. Yoniah was brought home, to be given help. Shortly thereafter, Yonih breathed his last.
"Coupled, (then right at home) Dies at home," he said
