Due ot the rise of fuel prices, government plans to raise the incentives for DPR (House of Representatives) members. Each one of them will receive Rp. 10 million (about US$ 1,000). The incentive will be given in November, in an amount of Rp. 50 million (accumulated 5 months).
Hopefully with this much money… they will:
1. Go to the specialist doctors for Hearing (dokter THT, in Indonesian), to have their hearing checked… because recently they have been half-deaf for not hearing the screaming of middle-low class economy citizens due to the increase of fuel prices.
2. Travel back to their hometown, to which they claim to represent, and see how a 70 year old widow needs to queue for 4 hours to receive the Rp. 300.000 fuel subsidy (government transfer payment). Or how a becak driver with 4 kids didn’t receive the funds to help him struggle for the next 3 months.
3. OR you know… they can always go abroad again… and buy themselves some nice suits, pants, shoes… :P
So… to the honorable members of DPR…
“Congratulations on the raise guys… keep up the tremendous work!”
wehehehehe ini sangat setuju bangetttt :P kadang2 berpikir…apa anggota2 itu ga malu ya sama orang2 yang lebih menderita…kadang kita lebih suka lihat ke atas daripada ke bawah ya…:(
