Director general quits, sticks with organization<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Director General of Small and Medium Enterprises
\nCacuk Sudarjanto has \"voluntarily resigned from his position\",
\nMinister of Cooperatives and Small Enterprises Adi Sasono said
\nhere on Monday.<\/p>\n
Adi said Cacuk would now focus his attention on Unity of
\nPeople's Sovereignty, a newly established social organization.<\/p>\n
He said the decision was made voluntarily by Cacuk, after his
\nposition as chairman of the organization raised questions amid
\nincreasing demands that all ministers and senior government
\nofficials be banned from campaigning.<\/p>\n
\"President Habibie asked me if Pak Cacuk could choose to
\nconcentrate on one of the two positions he holds to avoid
\ncomplaints and confusion among people,\" he said at a news
\nconference.<\/p>\n
According to Adi, Unity of People's Sovereignty is a social
\norganization with the mission to improve human resources, but
\nmany people linked it to the People's Sovereignty Party, one of
\n48 parties contesting the general election in June.<\/p>\n
\"Basically Pak Cacuk has no problem with carrying out his job
\nas director general but he prefers to focus on his organization,\"
\nAdi said. \"So he will temporarily resign from his position for an
\nindefinite period,\" he added.<\/p>\n
Cacuk said the organization he chaired would assist the
\nPeople's Economy Posts (PER), which are established throughout
\nthe country to promote small-scale enterprises and cooperatives.<\/p>\n
There are around 700 PER units at present, and the government
\naims to have a total of 5,000 by the end of this year, he said.<\/p>\n
\"I hope that, through my organization, we can build true
\nenterprises, established by hard-work and not by privileges and
\nfacilities given by the government, as happened during the New
\nOrder regime,\" he said. (gis)<\/p>",
