Constraints of development<\/p>\n
It is only recently we knew that there are constraints to
\ndevelopment program in the Eastern Indonesia. The investors
\nshould feel attracted to invest their capital in this area. The
\nattractions may involve incentives, facilities and the
\navailability of adequate human resources, etc. Lack of these
\nfactors constitutes the main constraint to development in Eastern
\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n
Other significant constraint is the tendency of each province
\nto try to get the biggest portion of the development fund, and
\ngive very little thought to the interest of others.<\/p>\n
It must also be remembered that the commodities produced
\nshould be highly competitive in the world market.<\/p>\n
It is to be admitted, however, that the development of Eastern
\nIndonesia is rather late, because, in the first place, the
\nderegulation package will be ready in May or June. In the second
\nplace, the development in Eastern Indonesia should have been
\nstarted much earlier. But, according to Coordinating Minister for
\nIndustry and Trade Hartarto, better late than never.<\/p>\n

East Timor integration<\/p>\n
Indonesia's patience and boldness in relation to the East
\nTimor integration is being tried. East Timor has been integrated
\ninto Indonesia's 27th province and as far as Indonesia is
\nconcerned, the integration is final.<\/p>\n
However, there is still an anti-integration group that
\ncontinually attempts to corner Indonesia. We can note a number of
\nincidents that solidly prove the existence of this anti-
\nintegration sentiment.<\/p>\n
A group of Portuguese religious pilgrims of East Timor origin
\nwas treated badly in the Lisbon airport recently. A controversial
\nfilm Death of a Nation produced by British journalist John Pilger
\nshown in foreign countries was obviously meant by those opposed
\nto the East Timor integration to discredit Indonesia.<\/p>\n
The anti-integration groups seem to have employed all ways and
\nmeans to achieve their goal, even to the point of manipulating
\ninformation. In this case Indonesia must counter the false
\ninformation with information that is right and true.<\/p>\n
We should be firm in maintaining that the integration of East
\nTimor into the republic is dead final.<\/p>\n
