The visit was aimed at opening training for entrepreneurs consisting of 75 MSMEs collaborating with Pertamina. Welcomed with great enthusiasm, the wife of the vice president came with several other officials. The visit was also intended to encourage and improve the quality of MSMEs so that they can compete globally.

Scarcity of 3 kg LPG Gas

Do you feel the scarcity of 3 kg LPG gas? Several mothers in various areas in Lombok complained about the same thing. LPG gas which is a subsidy assistance from the government is starting to be difficult to find in stalls.

Not infrequently this makes the lower middle class furious because LPG gas is a primary need that is needed every day. Since the progress of the times, the use of gas stoves requires mothers to use LPG gas for cooking. Therefore, the scarcity of this gas is something that needs to be considered and immediately followed up by the government.

In some areas, housewives have to think hard to replace the scarce LPG gas, so LPG gas is replaced by tungku stoves. Of course, nowadays finding wood and preparing cooking equipment on the tungku stove is not an easy thing. Will this shortage continue?
