KUPANG - NTT Police Chief Inspector General Setyo Budiyanto reminded public gas stations (SPBU) in NTT not to specialize in selling fuel to residents carrying jerry cans. "I hope that those at gas stations do not specialize in selling fuel to those who bring more than one amount of jerry can, especially those whose car tanks are modified," he told reporters in Kupang, Antara, Friday, September 9. This was conveyed in relation to the rampant cases of fuel hoarding after the government adjusted fuel prices throughout Indonesia. If someone brings large amounts of jerry can and four-wheeled vehicles whose tanks are modified, then that should be suspected. "It should be suspected that filling up the fuel is for hoarding," he said. The former KPK investigator said that he had conveyed the problem of hoarding fuel since last week to the Kapolres-Kapolres throughout NTT to monitor. Hasilnya di Kabupaten Belu ada penyimbungan BBM yang terungkap, begitu pula di Kota Kupang juga enam ton BBM yang ditimbun terungkap. Orang nomor satu di Polda NTT itu mengatakan bahwa pihaknya tidak bermain-main dengan kasus penyimbun BBM di NTT. "Of course we will take firm action. If anyone practices irregularities or hoarding of fuel, because it is an unlawful act," he said.
