Meanwhile, the Corporate Secretary of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Roberth MV Dumatubun who was contacted also appealed to the public not to worry about the availability of fuel stocks during the 1447 Hijriah Eid al-Fitr period.
This is because Pertamina, he said, has provided stocks for Lebaran from far away.
"People don't need to worry about energy shortages during the Lebaran Idul Fitri. The availability of fuel has been built up stock long before the Ramadhan and Idul Fitri period," he said.
He also appealed to the public not to be influenced by disinformation or even hoaxes that cause panic buying.
"Pertamina also appeals to the public to be fuel-efficient, use energy as needed, and also take energy-saving steps in daily life," he said again.
