Substitute for Tapornas

From Kompas

I love sports and want Indonesia to make progress in this area. Unfortunately the Tapornas fund raising concept, introduced by the Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, received sharp criticism. Therefore I would like to make a suggestion on how to raise funds without causing a burden to the people.

We can ask the people who travel by air to donate between Rp 5,000 to Rp 10,000. This is based on my reasoning that air passengers are relatively well-off and contributing up to Rp 10,000 would not be too much of a burden for them.

I am fully convinced, if this was introduced, billions of rupiah could be reaped.
