Not only Masdi's land was bought by Pertamina. Several other residents' land was also bought by the state oil and gas company. Initially, Masdi hoped that the land would be sold at a high price, but Pertamina could only afford to buy it for Rp230 thousand per square meter. "The market price here is usually around Rp100 thousand to Rp120 thousand. But at that time, some residents wanted Rp500 thousand and some wanted Rp300 thousand," added Masdi.

This post immediately caught the attention of netizens who saw it. "If it were me, I would just ask for rent, 10 million per year and ask for a 40% profit share," said the hima_rzibimy account. "It's better to rent it instead of buying it. It's small, only 1.1 million with oil underneath," said the nikioktii account. "Don't settle for 1.1 million when there's oil underneath, it's better to rent," said the ijay_tj account. "The government is lying, there is crude oil underground, millions of barrels," wrote the bembes88 account.
