Gas For The Poor In Banjarmasin Is Sold For IDR 45,000

Gas 3Kg / Antara

JAKARTA - Residents of the City of Banjarmasin are currently complaining that 3 kg LPG gas is difficult to obtain or rare and if someone is selling it, the price is also expensive.

"I've been looking here and there, but there is also 3 kg LPG gas and it has been sold at a price of IDR 35,000 to IDR 45,000 per savings," said Banjarmasin resident Adelia Wibisono in Banjarmasin, Wednesday, February 17.

He said, with the scarcity of melon gas, the local government was expected to be able to step in to the field to monitor directly.

In addition, it is hoped that there will be a special cheap market selling 3 kg LPG gas which will be held by the local government to help its citizens.

"If there is a cheap market for selling gas in the form of melons, we certainly will not be burdened, this is already rare and the price is also expensive if someone is selling," said the woman wearing hijab.

The same thing was said by a resident of Sultan Adam, North Banjarmasin, Tri Prasojo, who said that currently 3 kg LPG gas is really needed by the community.

The government must step in quickly to overcome the scarcity of melon gas and if possible give a warning to agents or distributors who play to raise prices above the highest retail price.

"I ask the police to investigate the scarcity of 3 kg of gas, if anyone is caught stockpiling the gas, then impose strict sanctions so that it can have a deterrent effect," said the private employee.
