Smart Card Policies Don’t Cause Another Problem

(Jakarta) – According the member of People Representative Council (DPR) Commission VII Alvin Lie, Government policies to launch control card or smart card to push the fuel (BBM) subsidy is a panic policy. “Why we say panic, this plan never discuss in DPR. Whereas on last January, we (commission VII-red) had working meeting with Energy and Mineral Resource Minister (ESDM) but the minister never talked about this thing,” Alvin explain when contacted by Indonesianow.

Beside that, Alvin gives opinion that the government might ashamed because half years ago they said that the escalation of world oils will not influence Indonesian economic, but the fact is different. “The government has already promise will not increasing the BBM price but after the promise has been given, the APBN quota not possibly if the BBM price not decreased,” said this member of Amanat Nasional Party Faction.

For reenacting this system, Alvin continues, the government should do survey who will have this smart card and don’t miss the target. “Don’t be like kerosene conversion that in my opinion doesn’t hit the target. Moreover the car with B number stays in Bandung and H plate stays also in Jakarta, if like so there will be chaos, so it should collect data’s. Beside that the government has also make a test-drive and should proven first so it can succeed economize the budget,” he said.

Alvin Lie hopes that the smart card policy will not cause another problem because the government has several times makes inappropriate policy.”These things made the peoples skeptic. Therefore the government should be realistic. If the APBN could not support the subsidy just say it. The peoples absolutely will understand. In my opinion it is much better if we increase the BBM price,” Alvin revealed. (Nurseffi/trans.Devi)
