The issue of fuel prices increase has been a main topic to discuss everywhere. Since last year, the governments have socialized this decision through mass media. Actually, the governments have planned to announce and apply this decision in January, 2005 but it was delayed because of the suffering of Aceh and West Sumatera people. The governments-in that moment-had to think twice to run that decision. Concerning this issue, as a college student, we have to be realistic in facing those statements. We must not blame any side or anyone without consider the reason of raising those fuel prices. Therefore, we have to support governments who apply this policy. Analyzing this case holistically, we have to affirmative this because of some aspects. They are cultural aspect, financial aspect, and management aspect. The main reason why we have to reconsider to disagree with the “fuel price increase” policy is the cultural aspect of Indonesian people itself. Fuel subsidies is such a bad idea, it makes Indonesian people tend to be dependant in those subsidies. Based on Google searching result, it was “fuel subsidies” which made our country be the last one who escaped from the monetary trap in last 90’s. Fuel subsidies contribute either to make our APBN is less competitive than others oil producer countries. Oil fuels, natural gas, and coal are fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are kind of non- renewable energy resources. Consequently, those resources will sometime run out while following the Be-kt function. Therefore, the fuel prices will always go upward because of the energy crisis. It is a very common phenomenon, based on Karl Marx’s statement about economic law, less supply will affect the price of the commodity itself, less supply means higher price. Concerning this situation, as the time goes, fuel subsidies will emphasize the stress in our country APBN. Fuel subsidies make our mass transportation infrastructure less competitive than others. This make people tend to use private transportation than public one because of their mindset of buying the same price of fuel and paying for public transportation. So, all big cities will experience a hectic traffic. It is one of energy wasting source. People in Indonesia do not have the ability to predict bad thing for them, especially long-term effect. Most of them demand fuel subsidies to the government but they do not really understand that those subsidies will stress them in the last. It is true that the “fuel subsidies abolition” policy will make all commodities prices inflate in short-term. But, we have to reconsider; it is wise if we try to reallocate the portion of fuel subsidies to education, small business infestation, or infrastructure development. In long-term, this fuel subsidies reallocation will have a good effect to our people than maintain certain level for fuel subsidies. Thus, I think it is better for us not to be too demanding in facing this problem. The governments have tried as hard as they can to solve this case. What we have to do now are supporting the policy and making an effort to find the best solution for the sake of our country.
