We asked: What’s your reaction to Anwar Ibrahim’s prosecution? Do think it is all politically motivated?
You replied:
Not that I care much for what happens in Malaysia, but judging from what recent history tells us, I would not be surprised at all that political motivation is behind this.
Gunacharya, Jakarta
Let them bicker, we have our own problems to deal with.

Anwar is certainly not a saint, but then neither are his enemies. That is politics for you.

We asked: Do you think competition from AKR will make Pertamina more efficient?
You replied:
Healthy competition will be able to push the efficiency race. However, the right to distribute subsidized fuel must come with an embedded control system.
Andoko Darta, Jakarta
Everyone knows this: competition improves services and efficiency. Pertamina has been alone in that turf for so long that it needs some competitors to spark the much-needed, and much-overdue, changes toward more efficiency and professionalism.
Kartarahardja, Jakarta
I do not just think it, but I am fully convinced that competition should do Pertamina some good, and the public as well, which can only but benefit from a good old business rivalry.
Yusdhi Suwandono, Tangerang
What competition? Do you really believe that a mammoth that has been the master of the sector for decades would allow this without a fight. Let us first see whether there will be fair competition, then we can ask ourselves that question.
Czaba Cziki, Singapore
Glad to hear someone else is finally challenging Pertamina. It is high time we end all forms of monopoly in the country.
