Govt policies benefit big businesses<\/p>\n
GARUT, West Java: People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) Speaker
\nAmien Rais has criticized government policies, saying they only
\nbenefit big businesses and damage the economy.<\/p>\n
\"Many small companies are surviving during the economic crisis
\nwithout any help from the government,\" Amien was quoted as saying
\nby Antara on Saturday while visiting a toffee factory in the West
\nJava town of Garut.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, he said, large businesses, which had
\nreceived huge funding from the government, were hardly surviving
\nand had even worsened the economic crisis, he claimed.<\/p>\n
\"It is unfortunate that the government's economic policies
\nhave yet to be changed. They continue to favor conglomerates
\ninstead of small-scale businesses,\" the MPR speaker said.<\/p>\n
Amien, also chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN),
\nurged the government to pay more attention to the development of
\nsmall businesses that did not rely on foreign loans. -- Antara<\/p>",
