INDONESIAN BOYS COLLECT PETROL IN JAKARTA.
Indonesian boys pour scavenged petrol into a jerrycan in Jakarta February 23. They resell the petrol for 750 rupiah ($0.10) per liter as opposed to the government's selling price of 1000 rupiah ($0.15) per liter. Indonesia has announced planned fuel price and tax rises, crucial to cutting a huge budget deficit but also sparking concern it might trigger more social unrest and squash a budding economic recovery.
