PEKANBARU – Fuel shortages have affected several regions across Indonesia’s Riau province over the past few days, triggering long lines at petrol stations as residents scramble to secure supplies.
The first reports of shortages surfaced on April 30, just four days before state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina raised prices for several non-subsidised fuel products on May 4.
