JAKARTA. The government's decision to discount the price of gas for the fertilizer, petrochemical and steel industries has sparked controversies. The policy, which is regulated under the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) RegulationNo. 40/2016 denies the provision of gas price reduction to other industries. General Chairman of the Association of Glass Sheet and Safety (AKLP) Yustinus Gunawan said that the ministerial regulation does not provide the reduction of gas price for glass, ceramics, rubber gloves and oleo chemical industries. In fact, Presidential Regulation No 40/2016 stipulates the provision of gas price reduction for those industries. Therefore, Yustinus asks the government to clarify the ministerial government, which does not comply with the Presidential Regulation No 40/2016. If necessary, "the Association is ready to take legal action if the Minister of ESDM ignores the Presidential Regulation 40/2016," Yustinus told TAN, Monday (5/12).
