More than 90 percent of technology used by Indonesian industries is still being imported from other countries, a minister says.

Research and Technology Minister Gusti Muhammad Hatta said that the country’s industrial sector was still heavily dependent on foreign technology.

Your comments:

With Indonesia experiencing a flourishing economy it’s a good time for technology development.

Yes, Minister Gusti Muhammad Hatta, local entrepreneurs can be utilized, but imagine how technology development would succeed if the trillions of rupiah stolen from the state’s budget by officials were injected into this worthwhile investment.

The inventory of various technologies should have been identified by your department years ago.

Indonesian youth have won science contests, but are given no opportunities. It is no wonder, having a bunch of opportunists at People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) and the House of Representatives (DPR) who have made our country stagnant for 20 to 30 years.
