        "summary": "Private sector and poverty President Soeharto proposed this week that employees of private companies set aside part of their wages to help the poor. This kind of contribution is not a new thing to civil servants. Judging from the generally better wages received by employees in the private sector, the proposal does not sound unrealistic. If the proposal turns into reality, still it will be a minuscule contribution to the poor now numbering 27 million people. But, quantity is not the issue here.",
