The local government of Riau Island Province has special goal for incoming foreign investment this year is US$ 5 billions. This is not just a marketing target after Batam Island, also Bintan Island and Karimun Island has a new law, free trade zone and free port. Right now, the existing foreign investment is US$ 1 billion. Is this goal just a dream?
The Governor of Riau Island Province Ismeth Abdullah said, he has meet with many foreign investors. They’re ready to invest their money in Batam, Bintan and Karimun islands. But, they’re still waiting and seeing now. They’re waiting the certain of Indonesian law. Of cause, they wanna save their money here.
He continuing their explaining to us – a journalists – the foreign investor interesting to invest they money in special industry, like shipyard. That why, he has preparing the many land and location in three islands of Riau Island Province. “Many beach are available for shipyard industry.”
To day, more than 50 shipyard industry has existing in Batam Island now and will be increase in the future. You can count, if one shipyard industry can recruiting 2 s/d 5 thousand workers. That why the reason, the local government of Riau Island Province very optimist investment environment will be better in the future.
But, there is the little important notice I’ve to write here about shipyard industry. That is, the management less concern to environment issue and social care. I think this is the serious matter for better in the future. Like near the Sambu Island of Batam Majority, there is the shipyard industry didn’t care to people living health. Many people sick because the effect of shipyard industry.
Seem case, in Dapur 12 District of Batu Aji Batam Majority. There is one shipyard beside Islamic Boarding School of An Ni’mah, it very close, but the management never give the community development money. They don’t care. Is the industry like this invited Mr. Governor? (!)
