Foreign Company Threatens Indonesia's Sovereignty?

Indonesia entered the zone of energy security vulnerable because of the failure to apply sovereignty over oil resources and gas and mining. Oil and gas and mining that should be a strategic resource to be treated merely commodities with a value of minimum benefits to people's welfare.
Executive Director of Indonesian Coal Society Singgih Widagdo in Jakarta, Tuesday (24/05/2011), suggests, the state made a big mistake when changing the form of strategic resource management to be based on the type of business. Consequently, mineral resources, coal, and oil and gas to be treated merely commodities. "This includes the loss of the state's role to control the use of those resources. In the past mining contracts must be approved by the president and the House of Representatives, "said Singgih.
Strategic mineral resources exploitation as a commodity increasingly out of control with the implementation of regional autonomy. The government reported that there were 8000 mining permit issued by local governments. The condition is increasingly opened up opportunities for foreign direct control of coal and mineral resources.
Foreign mining companies, particularly China and India, the entrance to master small mines with mining companies to finance local funding difficulties. "Without realizing it, we've become the upstream resources to China and India. The two countries are very aggressively looking for coal resources as a substitute for foreign oil, while oil and gas reserves and they deliberately keep mine, "said Singgih.
Referring to British Petroleum Statistical Review data, Indonesia, which only has a proven coal reserves of 4.3 billion tons or 0.5 percent of total world coal reserves become the main supplier of coal to China which has proven coal reserves of 114.5 billion tonnes, equivalent 13.9 percent of total world coal reserves.
With an average production of 340 million tons per year, about 240 million tons are exported, proven coal reserves of Indonesia will be exhausted in 20 years. If this is allowed, Indonesia threatened to importation of oil as well as coal.
In the oil and gas sector, the mastery of oil and gas reserves by foreign companies were dominant. Of the total 225 blocks managed by the contractor of non-cooperation contracts, Pertamina, 120 block foreign companies operated, only 28 blocks operated by national companies, and about 77 blocks operated a joint foreign and local firms.
Government through the Directorate General of Oil and Gas Ministry of Energy set a target portion of the service by a national company reached 50 percent in 2025. Currently only 25 percent of the national portion, while 75 percent foreign owned.
Foreign domination in oil and gas and mining sectors, with an expanding mastery of the working area and spread from Sabang in the west to Papua in eastern Indonesia, a sovereign state and the nation vulnerable.
Former Vice President Jusuf Kalla on Saturday, judge, under such conditions dangerous. "If it happened just a little turmoil in domestic security, they can immediately send the aircraft carrier (warship) into our territory in the name of securing assets and its citizens. If that happens, drop the sovereignty of this nation, "he said.

Actual Premium Quota Exceeded

Members of the House of Representatives Commission VII, Satya Widya Yudha realization suggests a premium of three percent above the quota is a significant figure.
"It is very significant fact. Because I think the 3.9 percent increase, we must see that the increase of the premium is also a result of subsidized fuel was not controlled," said Satya, after attending a hearing between Commission VII with Pertamina, in Jakarta on Monday ( 30/05/2011).
Not subsidized fuel is controlled, he added, resulted in a shift of consumption from pertamax to premium.
"It could also because of the many leaks in the fuel subsidy-leak itself," he added. According to him, one of which was leaked in the form of fuel that is mixed.
In the RDP, Pertamina did reveal the presence of the realization of a premium of 66.06 thousand kilo liters (KL) per day, which is above the quota figures, amounted to 63.54 thousand KL per day. Alternatively, an increase of 3.9 percent as of May 22, 2011.
Until that date, the company has realized 9.37 million from 23.19 million KL KL provided for quotas on this year. Figures also has increased the quota of 23.10 million KL in the previous year.
Even in 2012, subsidized fuel quota will increase by volume of 25.2 to 27.8 million KL.
So far, the government will continue trying to urge people not to use the subsidized fuel for those who are among the better.
However, according to economic researchers Habibie Center, Zamroni Salim, an appeal is unreasonable, so it is not effective to prevent people switching to premium.
"(The policy) is not effective, because basically that rational consumers," said Zamroni to Kompas.com, some time ago.
He considered even Pertamax better quality than Premium because it has a higher octane rating of 92 octane.
However, the community will remain based on the price. "Consumers are faced with the government's rational is irrational," he said about the policy.
