National car on credit

National car on credit

After 50 years of independence Indonesia is showing rapid
development in many fields: technology, science, business, and
education. Indonesian citizens should feel proud of the country's
achievements which have given the nation dignity and prosperity.

Education has played a big part in the formation of human
resources for development. It is regrettable that people tend to
prefer working in companies rather than in schools as teachers.
In Indonesia some people say that teachers are unsung heroes
because they generally earn little and show much dedication.

Last year teachers were happy to hear the good news that the
government launched its national car policy to be produced by PT
Timor Putra. But despite its competitive price, the car is still
beyond the purchasing power of teachers.

I would like to appeal to PT Timor Putra to grant special
terms or credit to teachers in order that the national car
becomes affordable to them.
