Mukhaer explained that inflation will weaken people's purchasing power and cause families to eat less. High inflation causes unemployment and poverty. Many companies work with higher production costs. “So is the number of ultramicro, micro and small businesses which are increasing in number. After not recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was hit by rising oil prices again. They fell and hit the stairs. But I think big business or big capital owners will change soon. "
Mukhaer said, for Muhammadiyah, the organization will defend, support and assist them. That is the responsibility of the government, but Muhammadiyah must help Muhammadiyah because in this country no one should be oppressed. Especially if they are oppressed by unjust laws.
"So that's a decision, first, it's not good for the government to take responsibility for the wrong target if the allocation of fuel subsidies so far is not according to its designation or does not benefit the rich. People or entrepreneurs who are not strong must be held accountable,' he explained. Second, Mukhaer asked the public to recalculate how oil prices are calculated.
He asked why Indonesia's crude oil (ICP) prices were based only on Brent and Texas prices, and why they didn't import or access much cheaper than Russian crude. “Third, continue the B-40 program to reduce crude oil imports. Fourth, make a price adjustment policy. If commodities fall, domestic oil prices are likely to fall further," he said.
Mukhaer also realized that after the increase in oil prices, other sectors will also experience price increases. That said, there will be a domino effect on other projects. Therefore, it is related to social services (Bansos), especially related to direct treasury services (BLT) carried out by the government. According to Mukhaer, the BLT problem has always been a problem.
A new problem will solve the problem. Fixed the problem in the right pocket, but returned to the left pocket.
Generally, BLT is used to buy basic needs, pay for education, buy medicines, pay debts and other activities. "But some are used to buy credit, buy cigarettes or other non-essential purposes. In fact, the recipient can use the funds within a week or two," he said. Mukhaer explained, the use of BLT often had a negative impact on the physical.
For example, the laziness of the beneficiaries and dependence on the government. This is the only consolation after the government's plan to increase fuel prices. Therefore, it is necessary to review the type of support, distribution model and other important factors.
