News about imminent salary increases for civil servants triggered sudden hikes in the price of food and basic necessities in several markets in Pekanbaru, Sumatra.
Typically Indonesian, the sharks sniffed more disposable income and kicked off the feeding frenzy!.
"In the last two days, the prices of all foodstuffs -- rice, chilli, instant noodles, soy sauce, canned fish, onions -- have all increased. It's really upsetting," housewife Sri Fuckwit said Thursday.
The price of various grades of rice have increased by an average of Rp. 1,000 per kilogram, while chilli has recorded the steepest increase, from Rp 12,000/kg to Rp. 18,000/kg.
The local trade and industry agency refused to call the hikes "price increases".
"We can only officially call them price increases if they are maintained for one to two weeks," agency official Henri Fuckwit said.
The news about a 300 percent salary hike for civil servants was reported by a local newspaper.
There is of course no substance to the rumour, just Indonesians trying to screw each other over (Again)
