Appreciate our own teachers<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
I would like to refer to a report in Suara Karya dated Aug.
\n23, 2001, titled The Bengkalis local administration pays teachers
\nfrom Malaysia Rp 8 million per month\/person which mentioned that
\nMalaysian teachers work as tutors.<\/p>\n
My question is: Don't we have teachers, lecturers or experts
\njust as good as the teachers coming from Malaysia? It would be
\nmore beneficial if the Rp 8 million per month\/teacher were paid
\nto a teacher from the Riau province or from other provinces
\nwithin Indonesia. This would make our own people more prosperous;
\nthus our money is not wasted on foreigners.<\/p>\n
Apart from causing embarrassment, the Bengkalis local
\nadministration appears to be throwing away funds from the APBD
\n(local administration budget) and enriching foreigners, while not
\nappreciating our own people or having respect for their skills.<\/p>\n
The kind of mentality that worships everything foreign -- the
\nNew Order style -- should be eradicated. It is better to utilize
\nour own people, including those already educated in the USA or
\nEurope, than import from Malaysia or any other country.<\/p>\n
