This is necessary so that you remain fit and can avoid traffic accidents. `We continue to remind toll road users to make use of the rest facilities that have been provided in order to keep themselves fit and healthy,` said Edwin. In addition, Edwin also appealed to drivers to always ensure that their vehicles are worthy of being used for long-distance travel.

Getting even cheaper: Oil falls to 11-year low. The drop is in line with signals that global oil supply will again exceed demand next year. Brent crude oil prices fell further than U.S. crude prices as the market anticipated the end of a 40-year-old ban on U.S. crude oil exports. President Barack Obama signed a rule on Friday (18/12/2015) that lifted the ban on crude oil exports. Brent crude fell 51 cents to $36.35 a barrel, its lowest since July 2004. While U.S. crude rose 1 cent to $34.74 a barrel after tumbling to $33.98 a barrel. `The fundamentals are very bearish. The warm weather is killing the market and the overhang of supply is weighing on prices,` said Phil Flynn, analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago, as quoted from Reuters. Although consumers enjoy low fuel prices, major oil exporters were forced to re-evaluate their currencies, sell their assets and even announce debts for the first time as they try to improve their financial condition. OPEC, led by Saudi Arabia, continued with their policy to flood the market with their high production. The policy was not expected to change despite the fact that lower prices will burden the cartel members.

Vice President Wants Indonesia to Become the World's Largest Cocoa Producer. `Currently our cocoa production is still ranked third in the world below Ivory Coast and Ghana. With 1.7 million hectares of land, Indonesia can actually become the world’s number one,` he said in Kendari, Sunday.The expected increase is the farmers’ production which previously only 500 kg/hectare is increased to one tonne/hectare.To realize it, intensification of extension is needed so that cocoa farmers can understand how to cultivate the commodity well.`There must be assistance, extension and seedlings for farmers so that our farmers can increase their production,` he said.Focus on resolving the problem of inadequate extension and lack of seedlings which is deemed some of the main problems of the commodity development in the country, in addition to the age of plants which has also grown old thus decreasing the productivity.That is why there should be plant rejuvenation. In addition, farmers must also be supported by giving capital assistance in the form of people’s business credit (KUR) to assist them in terms of capital.
