Reduction of subsidy on petroleum products to a level to ease the financial burden on the government would be acceptable and somewhat satisfactory to the poor man on the street. Complete removal of the subsidy will impose hardship on the poor citizen that has to pay more for public transportation, for cooking with petroleum products, wash clothes with petroleum products, pay higher costs for food products indirectly affected by petroleum products costs etc. Without any doubt, complete removal of subsidy on petroleum products will not benefit either the people or the the gvernment ultimately.
