JAKARTA - The management of mines by foreign parties who conducted continuously bring huge losses for the country of Indonesia. For example, the copper and gold mine in Timika, Papua conducted by PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI).

The loss occurred because very little of the wealth of the earth Indonesia that can be enjoyed by the nation of Indonesia. The rest of the natural resources are explored, mastered and enjoyed by owners of foreign capital that brought Indonesia's natural wealth to their country to be processed and sold at much higher prices.

"Given the above it is very difficult for us to be able to go forward and stand on equal footing with other nations. Moreover, not a few contracts management agreement SDA which only requires managers to pay tax sharing system that is not balanced," says Researcher Studies Institute Indonesia Defence and Strategic Studies (Lesperssi) Yusa Djuyandi through a written statement in Jakarta, Sunday (26/02/2017).

He explained that the government can not turn a blind eye that Indonesia's natural wealth has actually sold at very cheap prices. If attention to this problem, the goal will be focused on policy makers in this country which is responsible for the asset management contract pemberiaan natural wealth.

"Indonesia is rich, fertile and prosperous, we realize how abundant natural wealth of Indonesia is almost widespread from Sabang to Merauke," he said. Abundant natural resources, said Yusa, is actually the capital of Indonesia brought the nation to be a nation that is more advanced, and prosperous. Unfortunately, until now the hope for the achievement of the condition is still far from reality.

Until now, despite the natural wealth that is so abundant Indonesian people still can not get out of the crush zone of poverty. There are a variety of reasons related not maximal utilization of natural resources for the welfare of the nation. One of these natural resource management in part still managed by foreigners.

"Reliance on the acquisition of foreign technology is still a reason for the government in managing natural resources (SDA) independently. To manage the SDA required high technology and it is considered only owned by the advanced industrial countries," said Yusa.
