Nusa Dua, Bali (Antara Bali) - The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) fully supports the government`s policy to raise the prices of subsidized fuels, the party`s former president said.

"The meeting of the party`s executive board two days ago decided that the PKS faction (in the House of Representatives) and the party executive board must not stand against something which serve public interests, such as cash handout and subsidized rice for the poor," PKS former president Tifatul Sembiring who is also communication and information minister said here on Friday.

Tifatul said he has never been at odds with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. No ministers in any other country differ with their president about something, he said.

He believed the PKS will not change the latest stance and will remain part of the six-party coalition government. (M038)
