Sometimes ago, the government announced a plan to raise appears logical that fuelprices will begin on 1 April 2012. It makes a lot of opinions from various circles, one agrees with the plan but of course there is no agreement. The community who don't agree with government plan"s they held a big demonstration in various regions in Indonesia.
I would argue that the rise in fuel prices were very reasonable by the government, was carried out because the impact of rising international oil prices and to saving the statebudget deficit that is not getting. Increase in price of about Rp. 1500 is still reasonable when compared with other countries like in India, in there the fuelprices of about Rp. 12000. And I really don't agree to protesters who destroyed public facilities, conveyed to the government's aspiration is strongly recommended but is not recommended to damaged public facilities which it has builted by the community itself. Of course it can also destroyed the activity of the community.
I got a message on blacberry Messager that there are parties who want to break that resulted in the people of Indonesia do not agree with the government . I'm afraid that one day this country will split, as in what happened in Syria. Yesterday I saw at Television show that provides information about the refugee situation in Syria. Their situation is very alarming, they can not eat 3-4 days in the absence of food there, and can queue up 2-6 hours just to get two pieces of bread. Its happens because the divisions between communities in the State. Of course we're the peoples of Indonesia don't want to get a situation like that, and I think that the peoples of Indonesia must unite for the sake of the unity for our country 
