As a result, it turns out that LPG stock at the agent is not experiencing a shortage and its distribution is smooth. In addition, the price has not increased, so the public is advised not to panic and do not need to carry out a hoarding action. PT Pertamina as one of the members of TPID will guarantee the security of this LPG stock.

These are some of the things conveyed by the Head of the Economy, Infrastructure and Natural Resources (PISDA) of the Malang City Regional Secretariat, Ir. Eny Handayani, M.Si after the inspection. The bespectacled woman said that the public should be smarter and not swallow the circulating information raw.

"Likewise, do not easily spread information that has not been confirmed to be true so as not to make the public restless. Because if the public panics and there is a hoarding action, it can trigger scarcity, price increases which ultimately lead to inflation," explained Eny.

He also appealed to agents not to serve traders who buy LPG in large quantities, because its use or where it will be sold cannot be detected. In addition, agents also apply records for each LPG buyer so that its use is right on target.

The safety of LPG stock was confirmed by Bambang, the owner of an LPG agent in the Kasin market area. According to this middle-aged man, the news of LPG scarcity is not true, aka a hoax. "Shipments are smooth and prices have not increased. So for now it is safe, aka there is no scarcity or increase," he said. (say/yon)
