The rising price of fuel oil (BBM), the rising cost of administrative management Vehicle registration number (vehicle registration), high electricity rates, and the increase of the price of pepper in the market significantly fuel resistance among students in Indonesia.
It can be seen fromthe efforts of Whole Indonesia Student Executive Board (BEM-SI) to organize demonstrations related to the rejection of the current government policy that considered likely to strangle and misery to the people.
Price Match Policy
How happy our brothers in Papua after a long time to feel the fuel price of 70,000 rupiah per liter changedto 7,000 rupiah per liter after the government of President Jokowi and Jusuf Kalla affirmed to set equalization fuel prices throughout the territory of Indonesia.
Is this aspect has been considered by some groups of students who demonstrated to demand President Jokowi to suspend policies that simply raise the price in300 rupiah?

What's more reason for the government to raise fuel prices assessed logical and grounded in rules that have been agreed upon related to determination of fuel prices will be updated quarterly and are based on the fluctuating world oil prices.
Subsidy Revocation of Power 900 VA Status of students carried by a indivdu is a sign indicating that someone is positioned on "maha" which is one of the high positions in education. It is indeed fair and are required if a student has a pattern of critical thinking and innovative when this nation needs cadres and the next generation that accommodating and can make positive changes.
However, the criticality of a student should be based on the idea of scientific and data not just comment and criticize without providing a solution that can solve the problem.
It was proven by one of the demands of the students on the protest (January, 12th), which wants the government to withdraw the policy to raise the price of electricity tariffs for the 900 VA refuted by the data of the National Team to Accelerate Poverty (TNP2K) which emphatically will continue to provide subsidies to 4,1 million subscribers who can not afford.
Criticism of Vehicle Registration ManagementIncreasing Tariff
Not to forget the tariff increasing of vehicle registration management, yesterday fact became one of the aspects that is championed by the students. According to the students, the rate increase is considered as a government policy to strangle people.
As the lowest increase of 100 percent for the issuance and renewal of vehicle registration two-wheelers and three, to a high of 275 percent for the issuance BPKB motor vehicles with four wheels or more is considered too excessive and inappropriate for the poor.
But if we reviewed on related charges of these students, they should think carefully about the points that they will be fought.
Try to think logically, cost management and publishing of BPKB vehicle registration for vehicles is not a cost to be incurred on a regular basis or in a month.
But you need to know if the increase in the fee, fixed to the vehicle registration stewardship rates held every five years.
In addition, it should also be reviewed, concerning the mention of the poor. Are the poor people who actually have the ability to buy a bike let alone a car?
Therefore, it is not that studentsare not allowed to think smart and reformative. But that needs to be studied and evaluated again about the way and the eliability of the data and the strong fact to criticize government policy.
No doubt, if the interpretation of the people tend to raise suspicion of ties to the movement that appears to criticize the government. It's not impossible if in the future it will be ridden by the interests of the vigorous discredit the role of government.
