The increase in fuel prices is a negative impact on the poor. Therefore banya citizens less able to do a demo. But the demonstration did not affect the government to raise the price of fuel itself. The reason the Government revoked the fuel subsidy because the subsidy is supposed to be for the poor, but about 80% of those subsidies into the hands of the wrong or right on target. As a result of the increase in fuel prices affects the price of other basic commodities prices and rising public transport fares. In this case I as BBM users also slightly less agree on government regulations that raise fuel prices but if that's my goodness this country support the government's legislation.
