Transmigration<\/p>\n
From Neraca<\/p>\n
Minister of Transmigration Siswono Yudohusodo has made an
\nimportant breakthrough in the transmigration sector. The business
\nsector welcomes the minister's idea as an excellent policy. He
\npraised the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra for their
\nreadiness to leave their hometowns and live in other parts of the
\ncountry, or even in foreign countries, such as Australia and
\nother Southeast Asian or Pacific nations. Siswono appeals to the
\npeople of Java, Madura, Bali and Lombok to transmigrate. This is
\nvery important in the effort to reduce the population density of
\nthose four islands.<\/p>\n
My question is how about the transmigrants' future welfare.
\nWhat can they do in their new settlements? To transmigrate to
\nBatam is promising. But I doubt the conditions of the other
\ntransmigration sites. Let me give an example. Bontang, a town in
\nEast Kalimantan, is known as an industrial town. But this town
\nbarely grows. On the other hand, it tends to become less hectic.
\nThe officials working in Bontang return to Java after their terms
\nof office come to an end. Bontang does not seem to appeal to
\nthem.<\/p>\n
Self-motivated transmigrants should be encouraged to
\ntransmigrate, but they must be sure that they will land at the
\nright place.<\/p>\n
