You can contact Indonesian President SBY

Indonesian President is a ground breaking guy for many reasons. A while ago he gave out his cell phone number and invited people to call him. Jakartass has written him a letter about protecting the environment and you can also contact the ‘Main Man’ if the urge takes you.

Initially I thought I would fire him off a letter too, but in hindsight, decided to wait till I had something worthwhile to get across. I don’t want to be an ass-licker, or come across as a mindless complainer. Instead a problem-solution would be the best way to get SBY’s attention. Here in Indonesia we’ve got plenty of problems, that’s or sure. One of my ideas is to make ‘special economic zones’ around the country, which are small, very secure, trading areas, where corruption, security and infrastructure are not a barrier. You could make a ‘special economic zone’ outside of Jakarta, requiring ID to get in, and a fee, payable to the government. Documentation of transactions and security, with zero corruption would be the goal. If people could see how great it would be to do business in a trustworthy environment, they might try it outside as well.
