We just cannot do anything if Government raises the price of essential commodities, we will have to pay, no option for us.

People always resent, when prices of essential commodities are hiked. They do not realise that any Government has its own compulsions.

The price of oil in the market is increasing so we don't any choice except to accept the reality that it will be happen soon. Of course the businessman don't want to be loss so they will also increase the price depending on the price they bought from other countries like middle east. Here in the country where I am living now, the price still the same. It's very cheap compared to other countries, it's because they are the largest exporter of oil worldwide. Water is expensive here, expensive than the oil.

one litter of oil here cost 50 halala or 50 cents in riyal. While water one bottle 500ml cost 1 riyal 50% expensive than the oil.

Hi Mrs. hatley, i guess you are now lucky cause you don't depend anymore with the gas. but maybe there is a good effect by the rising price. people tend to choose public transportation to go than his/her own car

This will be a problem, for those less fortunate. All requirements, are expensive, and they are increasingly unable, to buy. Underprivileged people, worse off.

I am not surprised, if the government raised gas prices. Inevitably, as people, we must accept that set by the government. Prices rise, is already into something ordinary. There's nothing to be criticized.

yeah people will see this as a normal decision cause we know what is going in this world now. but i hope they won't do this considering that the people of Indonesia is poor.

Hi Ifa!. I personally hope its won't have to raised again. Every think quite expensive right now. If the gas has to raised every thing will be facing a raised price too as it side effect. I hope its better if the situation let it be right now or maybe we will facing the mass riot because so many people already so fed up to government. I hope they had common sense not to raised because I think the subsidy not thats big and we oil producer and why not used the production to our people with affordable price.

Hi Nangisha, we are being faced with high tax and now this. while it is hard to get a job and even there is a job, the salary can't cover all the needs. i hope that the government could hold the price to not raising

Rising and falling prices, have frequently occurred. We can only accept, what has been set. We can only complain, our complaints do not change the situation.

I do believe there will be an adjustment, but not such a decrease as it was before. See I feel that they do raise price really high then they lower a little so we feel like wow it is low, but if you think about it for a minute it is still higher then before.
