When it was first listed at the Jakarta Stock Exchange last Wednesday, public's demand for the share of said State Owned Company was extremely high that the price has sky rocketed to Rp 1.270 per share and up again to Rp 1.340 per share on Thursday.
Due to this fact, some members of Parliament and NGO have suspected that the share has intentionally been offered very low i.e. Rp 850. They said that during the roadshow to promote the IPO, people have shown interest to buy the share at around Rp 1.150 - Rp 1.200 per share.
For details, please find below an article that I have quoted from Kompas.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The polemics over the sale of PT Krakatau Steel (KRAS)’s shares through an initial public offering (IPO) could discourage foreign investors and have bad impact on the investment climate in the country.
Following the IPO, a controversy surfaced where many quarters were of the view that KRAS’ share price which was set at Rp850 percent was too low and might have benefited certain parties only while disadvantaging the state.

Wisatacom,
Yes the sales of shares of state owned enterprise, especially strategic ones like PT Krakatau Steel should not just be based on commercial aspect. We must consider our "anak cucu".

Unfortunatley this sounds very typical. No matter where you are in the world GREED over comes.
Hi Jhess,
Yes, unfortunately the same things happen everywhere.
Without specific and detailed information and the knowledge of an expert insider,it is hard to tell whether the price was right. Though from previous, similar cases around here I know it is pretty common that, at the launch on the stock-market, the price set for sale of shares is being exceeded by double digits' percentages.
Hi Colson,
You are right, I remember that some blue chip shares here have been sold at prices a lot much higher that the offered price.
I am afraid there might have been efforts to politicize this matter.
