For example diesel fuel in Kelapa Island which is currently Rp 10 thousand per liter will be same as the main land (Jakarta) by Rp 5,150 per liter," he said, Monday (12/4).
He explained, the fuel was only used for fishermen boats, instead of boat taxi. Hopefully it could increase the income of the fishermen.
