Opinion: 
Has so many assets in Indonesia, especially the existence of which is now owned by the owner is a foreigner. Ranging from medium to large companies. Honestly I as a citizen of Indonesia a little disappointed, because if we want to learn from others especially developed countries precisely those with the passion to develop the full potential and technology. Suppose that Japanese residents and citizens just as much as the State of Indonesia can not very advanced at all in developing the technology, can be said of the Japanese State is one of the manufacturers of high-tech goods that are almost in every country. I think the government should be more knowledgeable in regard to capacity building in the field of technology, because this country has so many residents were still able to be utilized for the benefit of the nation's progress.
