Until now rampant cases of corruption in our beloved country is very difficult to stop precisely at the more "seeds of corruption successor generation" is.
       Not only labor issue and the problem of corruption, there is also the economic factor is the problem of high cost lending rates. interest rates People's Business Credit (KUR), which is the most potent source of funding for the SME sector in Indonesia is the folk lending rates second highest in the world, after Myanmar. Meanwhile, interest rates are ideally designed for the development of the SME sector should be in the single digits or a maximum level of 10%. In fact, the current interest rate for micro KUR in Indonesia over Rp 20 million for loans down by 22%. Meanwhile, retail KUR interest rates for loans of Rp 20 million to Rp 500 million, amounting to 14%. Meanwhile, lending rates in China and Thailand ranged only at the level of 4-8%.
