Clark Kent was an alien from another planet, but was raised in America and as Superman was recognized as being a hero of “truth, justice and the American Way”. More recently Arnold Swarzeneger, a tough guy immigrant to America rose to become a popular governor of California. So why not here in Indonesia! Foreigners and foreign companies came to Indonesia and established a sound professional and responsible mining industry, with PT. Newmont and others pioneering this now thriving industry. Sri Muliani is one of many Indonesians who contribute to the world beyond Indonesia. Perhaps the new minister for mining can change the old confrontational approach and further encourage a mutual cooperation relationship, where foreigners may also be the champions of “unity in diversity and the Indonesian Way”.
