Surjadi optimistic on social issues

JAKARTA (JP): Governor Surjadi Soedirdja is optimistic that the administration will be able to handle the various social problems which the municipality is facing.

"My optimism is largely based on the fact that we currently have a lot of social organizations, institutions and foundations either managed by the state or privately," Surjadi said during a meeting with officials of social organizations on Tuesday.

He also noted with pleasure that such organizations are financially sound as a result of support from bona fide financial sponsors, including conglomerates and other business tycoons, Antara reported.

Surjadi expressed hope that both the technical aspects and also the professional activities of social organizations will continue to improve, so that they may keep on winning the hearts and trust of the public. (bas)
