World Business:Inside Indonesia Muhammad Lutfi Interview 29/05/09
World Business: As the recession rolls on and western economies stagnate or contract, investing in the still growing economies of Asia becomes increasingly attractive. But with less capital around these economies have to work hard to stand out from other countries which also have attractive investment potential. This is the challenge faced by the head of the Indonesian Investment coordinating board Muhammad Lutfi.

@TheParadiselsNow What I'm talking about is Indonesia as one of the best countries to invest! Speak with data: Just mention any world class corporation. It invest in Indonesia. Freeport, British Petroleum, Chevron, Mobil Oil, Exxon, Newmont, Shell -- you name it. They all are here with big investment. Are they stupid? If they were, they would have suffered great losses and pulled out. No. It is the other way around. They enjoy huge profit. Corruption? the greedy corporations enjoy it!

This guy is smart, but his intelligent explanation about Indonesia's 'selling point' would even allure greedy international corporation to make a killing in exploiting Indonesia's natural resources.

So the sword is directed at Indonesia's own stomach.

@gabeharahap Thats my uncle : ). Yeah but he had only been offered emabssadorship in Japan last year. But so far he likes it even with the natural disaster strikes. He had to evacuate a vast number of individuals.

I wonder why this guy is out of Goverment? He took Indonesia,s economy from 0.3 to 0.7 not that big increase but still , it does count when it comes to the Goverment level, so i like this guy and his approach towards the country,s progress and economy. I would love to see him as a part of Government. GOD bless him.
