The spotlight is on Indonesia people's will in the direction of the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives in plenary meeting later attitude will determine the associated discussion RAPBN-P 2012 which would imposes up or whether subsidized fuel oil prices.

There are two options that appear. The first option, energy subsidies given Rp 225 trillion FUEL subsidy with details worth Rp 137 trillion, Rp 65 billion electricity subsidies, fiscal risk and reserve energy worth Rp 23 trillion. These options allow the Government to raise fuel prices.
