Laudable attitude

Laudable attitude

Some time ago a group of Chinese business people in Semarang
denounced and condemned the re-export of government subsidized
rice meant for distribution to the hungry masses. It was carried
out by Chinese entrepreneurs.

In the past similar crimes were faced by the Chinese community
with ear deafening silence as if it were not their concern. The
looting of banks by Chinese bank owners, taking depositor's money
from banks such as BHS and the Bank Pembangunan Asia to Hong Kong
and changing the land title of government lands for their own
benefit via collusion, are good examples.

The attitude of these gentlemen in Semarang is a step in the
right direction, demonstrating commitment to this country as
Indonesian citizens.
