JAKARTA - The scarcity of cooking oil in the market is not only complained by the general public. Goods that are available must be redeemed at a high price so as to make the people scream. Mytha Lestari, a singer who graduated from this talent search event, was also surprised when she bought cooking oil for Rp. 40,000 per liter.

Through her social media page, Mytha Lestari shared her moment when she was looking for cooking oil. Traveling to many places, Mytha had difficulty buying cooking oil.

"I finished shopping, one of the things I bought was cooking oil. But the supermarket didn't have cooking oil. Finally, we explored the entire street of Cibubur Raya and didn't find cooking oil," said Mytha Lestari on the Instagram account @mytha_lestari.

When she saw that there were 4 bags of cooking oil lined up near her house, Mytha was finally relieved. But when she found out that the price of one liter of cooking oil in the shop was Rp. 40 thousand, Mytha was shocked.

"Finally, I found oil in a multipurpose shop near my house. There were four bags. I asked, 'How much is one liter, ma'am? Is it still Rp. 17 thousand or not?' (Answered the shop keeper) 'The liter is Rp. 40 thousand,' "said Mytha Lestari.

Even though it was expensive, Mytha ended up buying the cooking oil. "I wanted to fry tempeh, the fried chicken had to sink in. The oil had to sink in, one liter of it ran out. He said the problem was that the items were scarce. How else can I buy four bags of IDR 160 thousand. Oh my goodness, I can get IDR 160 thousand So what's wrong with only getting 4 seeds of oil," concluded Mytha Lestari.
