It means some groups pay more, while others pay less,\u201d said Prof. Bagong to UNAIR NEWS on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cHowever, in Indonesia, people\u2019s socio-economic status is a sensitive issue. So, if we differentiate this way, using the terms rich and poor might hurt certain circles,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"678\" height=\"452\" src=\"https:\/\/unair.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/images-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-180722\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prof Dr Bagong Suyanto, Drs, Msi. (Photo: PKIP UNAIR)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Does it really trigger social conflict?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Various parties tend to doubt the discourse on changing the KRL fares, not only for its effectiveness but also from a social aspect. There is a potential for horizontal conflict among communities. However, Prof. Bagong believes that the policy does not have the potential to cause friction in society.<\/p>\n\n<p>With their economic status, the upper middle class should understand the purpose of this policy. Hopefully, it can reduce the occurrence of conflict and friction in society.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWill it trigger a conflict? I don\u2019t think so. I think those from the upper middle class are not the ones who demand what has been paid. It means they also have to know and understand the direction and goal of this policy,\u201d said Prof. Bagong.<\/p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, the government needs to anticipate different reactions from lower middle-class communities. Categorizing poor communities explicitly may hurt them.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s worrying if the poor are exposed as if their status is a burden. Perhaps another term should be sought. Or maybe making special tickets as markers of those who can afford it and those who can\u2019t afford it,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Need for wider terminology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>According to Prof. Bagong, using terms like \u2019white collar\u2019, \u2018the poor\u2019, and \u2018the rich\u2019 is unnecessary. It is not surprising that this policy has generated various reactions due to the use of inappropriate terminology.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIn my opinion, this is just a matter of terminology. I think the government thinks that the upper middle class can help the lower classes, but the words used are inappropriate, and unwise,\u201d explained Prof. Bagong.<\/p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, the lecturer born in Nganjuk said that the government should be careful in choosing a more appropriate terminology. The government needs to be wiser in expressing its goals and objectives so as not to trigger public upheaval.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cI think what\u2019s more important is how the government can convey this discourse with the right terminology, so it doesn\u2019t trigger offense or uproar,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n<p>Author: Yulia Rohmawati<\/p>\n\n<p>Editor: Kehfti Al Mawalia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNAIR NEWS\u00a0\u2013 The government through the Ministry of Transportation plans to differentiate electric train (KRL) fares based on the economic status of passengers.\u00a0Passengers with rich status must pay normal fares, while passengers with poor financial will get subsidies.\u00a0Even though it favors the lower class of society, this policy incites pros and cons from various groups.
