Dedi Mulyadi: Skincare and Cigarette Prices Rise Quietly, But When Rice Prices Rise, It Feels Like the End of the World

Dream - Gerindra Party politician, Dedi Mulyadi, also responded to the issue of the highest increase in rice prices throughout President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) administration.

Former Regent of Purwakarta subtly criticized the community whom he considered to never appreciate the fields and agricultural laborers who work.

"Every day we eat rice made from rice but never appreciate the fields and the agricultural workers. Continuously, rice must be cheap but every day houses, factories, and shops are built by evicting fields."
Dedi's words in his Instagram account post.

According to him, the rise in rice prices should be a lesson for all parties to not underestimate the existence of paddy fields.

Decreasing Rice Field

Because the decreasing paddy fields will decrease the production rate which will have an impact on the price of rice. Former Vice Chairman of Commission IV of the Indonesian Parliament, RI, assessed that the mindset of the society also needs to be changed so that they can allocate their finances properly and not get trapped in consumerism.

"Kalau harga beras naik, ribut serasa mau kiamat. Tapi kalau harga skincare, rokok, hape, motor, dan baju, naik diam saja tetap pada beli," "If the price of rice rises, there is an uproar as if it's the end of the world. But if the prices of skincare, cigarettes, mobile phones, motorcycles, and clothes rise, people remain silent and continue to buy."
ujarnya. (He/she said it.)

Dedi then gave an example of a fund allocation question to buy skincare and rice. According to him, many people are willing to spend at least Rp150 thousand per month for skincare.

"Kebutuhan" in English is "Needs".

He then said that with that amount of money, the community should be able to buy at least 10 kg of rice. Dedi also said that the community should prioritize more important needs, namely food.
