Cigarette-rolling workers are weighing 50 new hand-rolled Kretek cigarettes (SKT) cigarettes produced at KUD Tani Mulya, in Turi Village, Turi District, Lamongan Regency, Thursday (10/29). The government is scheduled to decide on the 2016 cigarette excise tariff increase on Friday (30/10) tomorrow. It is estimated that the increase in cigarette excise tax rates will further increase the number of job cuts in cigarette factory workers in Indonesia. The increase in cigarette excise tax rates for the period 2014-2015 caused the Cigarette Manufacturing Partners (MPS) in Java to lay off 38 thousand cigarette rolling workers due to the excise tax increase. - JP / Wahyoe Boediwardhana / Adi / 19

Kenaikkan tarif cukai rokok periode tahun 2014-2015, menyebabkan Mitra Pelinting Sigaret (MPS) di Pulau Jawa harus mem-PHK 38 ribu buruh linting rokok akibat kenaikan tarif cukai. - JP/Wahyoe Boediwardhana/Adi/19
