Water problem in Jakarta

Water problem in Jakarta

I am a visitor here in Jakarta and I come from the
Philippines.

After staying here for a few days and having seen your
business and urban districts in Jakarta, Bandung and Manado I
have the impression that Indonesia is enjoying some sort of
economic boom.

I had a similar impression about Korea's economy when I
visited Seoul sometime in the late 1970s. All signs point to the
emergence of Indonesia as a newly industrialized country or an
emerging tiger in Asia.

One setback though, which could be easily corrected if the
government just put its heart into it, is Jakarta's perennial
water problem. Please do something about it.
