Meanwhile, the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, said that the public needs to know all the problems that occur behind the government's policy to increase fuel prices.

"The government has explained the impact of rising world oil prices resulting in limited subsidies. On the other hand, there is compensation given to those who are affected," said Ganjar.

Ganjar also appreciated the Central Java Police for taking firm action against abusers of subsidized fuel.

"Who is being brushed directly by the Police," he said.

"This is proof of our seriousness, don't let the subsidies for the community leak out. The fisherman's quota must go to the fishermen. Farmers and other people who are entitled to receive subsidies are also the same. Don't let their quota be taken away by people," he added.
