JAKARTA - Vice President (Wapres) Ma'ruf Amin revealed that the ranks of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet had anticipated the shortage of subsidized diesel. This is in accordance with the instructions of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) recently.

"The president has given instructions so that this is immediately anticipated, the shortage of diesel fuel," said the vice president on the sidelines of his working visit to Surabaya, East Java, Thursday, March 31, as reported by Antara.

The vice president said the President had also assigned the relevant ministers to take steps to fulfill the availability of subsidized diesel.

He stressed that the government will continue to monitor the fulfillment of subsidized diesel.

"I think we'll just have to wait a few days for something to be announced regarding the steps we're discussing," said the vice president.

Previously, MPR Chairman Bambang Soesatyo alias Bamsoet also observed the phenomenon of the scarcity of raw materials for oil or subsidized diesel fuel that has occurred in Indonesia recently.

Bamsoet in a written statement received in Jakarta, some time ago, asked the government to immediately address the matter, and asked the security forces to immediately investigate the cause of the problem.
