The Buyat Bay, issue has been a hot topic these past two weeks.
However, no party has claimed responsibility for the pollution in the bay. This country is
suffering from an old illness : it cannot see the culprits even though it could - if it wanted to.
The issue started when a non-governmental organization discovered that a number of
people living near the bay in South Minahasa district, North Sulawesi province, were suffering
from skin diseases.
Blood tests showed that some had high levels of mercury in their blood.
Public opinion then turned against the subsidiary of U.S based Newmont Minahasa Corp.
PT Newmont Minahasa Raya, accusing it of causing the pollution by dumping its tailings in the
bay.

of all Indonesians are below the age of eighteen years. Most of them are dependents. They do
not earn money to support themselves and are in need of many facilities like food, medical care,
clothing, education, and employment opportunities. Although a large number of them are forced
to drop out of school to earn a living, the government. still has to spent a very large part of its
revenue on education. Then comes the problem of creating enough jobs for every new
generation of school leavers or college graduates.

migration. This means moving poor people from the countryside to different but underdeveloped

of people.
