Not just a matter of labor

Not just a matter of labor

From Bisnis Indonesia

I refer to the banner headline in the Nov. 28 edition of
Bisnis Indonesia, titled Labor has triggered Sony's closure. The
headline suggests that Sony's flight from Indonesia was mainly
due to labor problems. Therefore this problem must be addressed
proportionally.

We need to ask ourselves:
* What is the quality and commitment of the bureaucrats?
* What is the quality and commitment of members of the House of
Representatives?

As a matter of fact, workers highly depend on the quality of
the government agencies in executing the administration. In this
context, we should also question the performances of the Ministry
of Manpower and Transmigration and the Ministry of National
Education.

The closure of the Sony Corporation was not an isolated case,
as it is closely related to the downturn in the global economy.
We should not try to find a scapegoat.

As a supplier of accountants, we are greatly concerned with
quality.
