Information on transmigration<\/p>\n
From Merdeka<\/p>\n
As an Indonesian citizen, I would like to voice my concern
\nover the scarcity of information about efforts in battling
\npoverty in this country, especially through the transmigration
\nprogram.<\/p>\n
Newspapers in this city carry too few reports about the
\ngovernment's efforts towards achieving the goals of the program.
\nFor example, the government's efforts in encouraging private
\nsectors to take part in the program.<\/p>\n
I think this is a great stride in the program. But ironically
\nsuch efforts get little media coverage and fail to reach people
\nat all levels.<\/p>\n
I would like to suggest that civil servants of the ministry of
\ntransmigration take part in the social activities of their
\nrespective neighborhoods. Some of them, perhaps, could become
\nheads of their respective neighborhood communities or become
\nmembers of other communal organizations in their residential
\nareas in order to spread out the information.<\/p>\n
Newspaper reports also said earlier that the minister of
\ntransmigration attributed people migration as part of their
\ncultures. Yet until now, I have not heard any follow up reports
\non the transmigration program linked with the betterment of the
\npeople's standard of living.<\/p>\n
In fact newspapers could be encouraged to report more about
\nthe program as some major business companies do when they promote
\ntheir new products.<\/p>\n
