Unregulated construction<\/p>\n
We would like to ask the honorable Jakarta Governor, Jakarta
\ncouncillors, city planning officials, environment activists, and
\ndevelopers to pay close attention to the following crucial but
\nsensible matter.<\/p>\n
The many new construction projects currently taking place
\naround Jakarta worry us, mothers with children who need green
\nopen space for recreation. When we want to take our kids to a
\npark or a playground, we always run out of ideas on where to take
\nthem. Where can we take them so they can play freely other than
\nthe amusement places provided inside of shopping malls. We'd like
\nto take them to a place surrounded by lush green trees where they
\ncan breathe natural, fresh air, not the air recycled by mall air
\nconditioners.<\/p>\n
We are deeply concerned and worried that the lack of parks for
\nour children to play together with their peers will affect them
\nadversely, and result in a growing number of selfish, unsociable
\nchildren because they have to be confined to solo games.<\/p>\n
We are deeply concerned and worried because the lack of parks
\ncreates pollution, which increases illnesses and thus creates
\nmore problems for our children. It is possible that the floods we
\nhave been experiencing in Jakarta over the last few years are
\nalso caused by the lack of open green spaces with trees and
\ngrass. They have been covered by buildings and more buildings.<\/p>\n
We do not need more shopping malls or apartments. What we
\nreally need are vast green open spaces with trees, flowers and
\ngreen grass. So, we are asking you, ladies and gentlemen, to stop
\nthe construction of new buildings, apartments, shopping malls and
\noffices and focus instead on the development of green city parks,
\nfor our sake, for the sake of our children and our future. And
\nthere's no better time to start than now.<\/p>\n

I refer to your article on your website on Aug. 19 entitled
\nLabor exporter speaks out on abuse.<\/p>\n
We would like to clarify that the School of Nursing (Fakultas
\nPerawat) at the University of Indonesia (UI) should not be termed
\n\"Nursing Academy\" as was written. The School of Nursing at UI has
\nhad a full bachelor's degree program since 1985 and master's
\nprograms since 1999.<\/p>\n
We need to clarify this information so Indonesian people have
\nthe correct information about nursing education in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
