It’s a valid thing for Kalla to come with such statement, but his audiences, people of Indonesia that is, are the largest skeptics in the world. What can you do? Years of neglect, oppression, and corruption made statements like Kalla’s statement appears more to be a wishful thinking rather than something, which can be accomplished.

Oh by the way… all I could do was a cynical grin upon reading Kalla’s statement…

Actually Bayi, they don’t as an expat costs a “brazillion” dollars and directly effects the bottom line. Unfortunately, there is an extermely limited pool of qaulified Indonesians to choose from due to an ongoing neglect of education and management training to international standards. I hate to say it but once again look at the Sinagporean example.

Of course, its just another Kallaism there not to be taken with anything but a healthy laugh.

Wouldn’t it be more prudent to assess the situation than to give a general statement? What about foreign companies? Will they be exempted? They may want their own representation to protect their investments.
