JAKARTA
- When the government announced the liquidation of 16 banks last Saturday, many
people are surprised as they did not expect their bank to be on the list,
Others were still trying to come to terms with the fact that they had lost
their jobs.
"I
heard on the radio that 16 bank were liquidated, that's why I came here, to
check whether I could still withdraw my money," said Prapto, who claimed
to have a deposit in one of the liquidated banks on JI. Thamrin. But the said
he couldn't get it as it was Saturday and most banks do not open then.
The
headquarters of some of the liquidated banks, such as Bank Pacific and Bank
Industry
look
calm, with only a few people coming and going. Several people called the
'Observer' last Saturday afternoon two find out which banks had been
liquidated.
I
Nyoman Moena, a noted banking analyst told the 'Observer' it is a normal
reaction for people to panic when hearing such things, but, he said, the
government must certainly have anticipated the situation. "I think the
monetary authority must have been prepared this tune, after the announcement of
the liquidation of Bank Sumina in 1992," Moena said referring to the
guarantee by the government two pay depositors in to weeks on November, 13,
1997 and the naming of the banks that will handle the pay outs.
When
announcing the liquidations last Saturday, Bank Indonesia assured depositors
they would get their money back. Those who had less than Rp 20 million would
get all their money on November 13, while those who had over Rp 20 million
would get up to Rp 20 million in the first stage with the remainder being paid
later.
The
President Director of Bank IFI Harry Rachmadi said yesterday that the
liquidation of sixteen bank would certainly have an impact in the community, as
some people may lose their jobs. To minimize the impact of the liquidations. it
is important to accelerate the process. Rachmadi said that the decision could
also be a 'shock therapy' for Indonesian banks. "Bank owners can no longer
do as they want when operating their own banks," he said. He also said
that some members of the public should have anticipated this, as the press had
ear her reported the likely liquidation of some ailing banks following the
currency turmoil that hit the country in July this year.

In
my community its various organisms are linked in a complicated web of
relationships. There are usually in balance with one another. If the natural
web is disturbed, the results my be disastrous. As a rule, the various
populations of organisms tend to adjust to seasonal and other changes, and the
whole community stays in balance. Most disturbances come from man's activities.
In
an undisturbed forest, white-tailed deer feed on plants of various kinds.
Wolves and mountain lions prey on the deer. When deer are numerous, their
enemies become numerous too, because them is so much to feed upon. The deer and
their enemies stay in balance with one another.
Then
man enters the scene. He looks on aninuls such as wolves and mountain lions as
harmful. He kills as many as possible. When the animals that feed on deer are
killed, the deer multiply, without check. Soon the large deer population has
eaten nearly all the plants available for food. Then the deer begin to starve.
Another
example of man's interference with natural communities is the use of chemical
insecticides. Grass in the sprayed areas my he eaten by cows. As a result, the
milk of some cows has been found to contain too much DDT. The insecticides are
also collected in the tissues of birds that eat the sprayed insects. Some of
the affected birds lay eggs that do not hatch. The number of birds therefore
decreases, cutting down the food supply of other animals.
Whether
intended or not, almost every change that man has made in natural webs of life
has turned out to be a disaster for the communities involved. Man, of course,
is part of the world's living community. Everything he does affects all the
rest of it, just as my change in the community or climate around him affects
his own well-being. Thus, by changing natural communities, man may arm himself.
