The bad is that foreign investors will quit Batamindo Industrial Park next year. The strong interest of Taiwanese businessmen to invest in Batam indicates that Batam still has business appeal to foreign investors. The strategic location of Batam, with good infrastructure, has obviously become the speciality of the city island. However, speciality is not enough.",
