Government should not raise fuel price to solve the problem of economic issues. People were affected severely with the high fuel price hike last year. Obviously they cut their spending. As an example, they had to buy lower quality of rice or palm oil. There were also fewer buyers of secondary commodities like flour, or canned meat or fish.
Furthermore, the condition of low income family will become
even worse because their expenses will increase while their salaries will not.
Many companies will have to trim the number of employees because they are
incapable of managing buying or selling price, standard wages and personal
affairs.
Finally, government should not raise fuel price to overcome
economic problem but the solution should be sought by tapping into the nation’s
own potential and utilizing it to enhance productivity to its maximum.
