Honda workers help BLKI

JAKARTA (JP): The Japanese-based workers union of Honda Motor
automotive company donated on Friday a simulator of a Honda
Accord engine worth Rp 130 million (US$11,448) to the branch
office of the government's industrial training center (BLKI) in
Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta.

The union's deputy chairman, Kobayashi, said the donation was
part of the union's program to help speed up the transfer of
Japanese technology to Indonesian technicians.

"We hope the simulator engine can bolster the development of
the automotive industry in the country," Kobayashi said after a
ceremony marking the handover of the simulator engine.

Kobayashi said the 40,000-member union also planned to donate
five similar simulator engines to other BLKIs in the country.

Last year, the union donated a similar simulator engine to the
BLKI branch in Parepare, South Sulawesi. (03)
