1. The fuel price hike, benefit for
whom??
Has not been a month after his inauguration, the President makes a very
controversial decision to raise fuel prices. It becomes a very strange policy
considering at the beginning of the campaign period, Jokowi firmly promised
not to raise the fuel price. This policy certainly invites a lot of reactions from the
society. Society, the university students loudly reject the fuel price hike. The
refusal is reasonable, considering a lot of the negative impact of the fuel hike.
One of the negative impacts which has been felt by the public is the rising
price of basic necessities. The rising prices of basic necessities automatically
increases the needs of others, such as public transportation fares, unfortunately
the government has not thought a solution to this problem. All they think about
is how to add a state budget plan quickly even it suffers the people. Their
government slogan is work, work, and work? Maybe they are working for
miserable people.

In addition, the middle class business or industry will greatly get the impact, however, before the fuel
price rises they are very difficult to compete with the big companies that dominate the market. So
how about now? What is certain is the increase of production costs, it influences the price of the
product to raise, but there is no guarantee that consumers will remain loyal to buy. Surely they
(consumers) will be looking for another product that is affordable. It gives an impact on the survival
of the home business or industry. And of course there will be a reduction of employees (FLE) and
jobless continue to increase.

The fuel price hike is not the solution, but it is new problems for society. Because after all the poor
people who most feel the impact. Let’s think for a moment their fate. There are a lot of other options
besides raising the price of fuel. For example, raise taxes, cigarette taxes, and also the efficiency of
budget officials. Therefore, I strongly invite all to work together to reject the fuel price hike.
 2. Corruption
Corruption is an official malfeasance for personal gain. All forms of the government are
susceptible of corruption. Corruption has a bad impact to the entire range of life in a
country. It will have loss in the political, economy development, and social sectors. For
these reasons, we have to be serious in eradicating this act to build the good
governance.

Corruption shows a serious challenge toward the development of the country. In the
political world, corruption complicates the democracy and good governance by
destructing the formal process. Corruption in general elections and in legislature reduces
accountability and representatives in the forming the decision. Corruption in the court
system stops legal order and corruption in public government produces imbalance in
community service. In general, corruption diminishes the ability of the government
institutions, because it neglects the procedure, sucks the resources, the officials are raised
not because of achievement. At the same time, corruption complicates the legitimacy of
the government and the value of democracy as trust and tolerance.
Corruption also complicates the economic development by creating distortions and
high inefficiency. In the private sector, corruption increases the cost of trade because of
the loss of business, an illegal payment, management fee in negotiating with official who
is corrupt, and the nullification agreement or by inquiry. Although some say that
corruption reduces trade cost to ease the bureaucracy, the emerging consensus
concludes that the availability of dole causes the officials have to make the new rules
and the barriers.

Corruption creates chaos in the public sector by diverting the public investment to
community projects which have more available dole and wages. The officials may add
the complexity of the community projects to hide the practice of corruption, which
finally results more chaos. Corruption also reduces the fulfilment of the terms of building
security, the environment, or other rules. Corruption also reduces the quality of
government services and infrastructure; and adds pressures on the government budget.
The economic experts give opinions that one of the retardation of economic
development factors in Africa and Asia, especially in Africa is corruption in form of billing
rent that causes the displacement of capital investment to foreign capital investment,
rather than invested in domestic.
Political corruption is in many countries, and gives large threat for its
citizens. Political corruption means the decision of the government is often
advantageous to the dole givers, instead of the citizens. One more
example is how a politician makes regulations that protect big
companies, but adverse small companies. These ‘pro-business’ politicians
only return the help to large companies that provide a big contribution to
their election campaign.

From those arguments above, it is important for us as the citizen to take a

role in efforts to eradicate corruption. Without our support and all other
Indonesian society, all the fight against corruption will not run effectively.
Because of that, the constitution gives us right and protection for the
community to participate in efforts to eradicate corruption. Let us fight
the corruption and save our country.
That’s All About
