As the interview reported by viva.co.id, Research and
Technology M. Nasir said "We've had a coordination meeting. It's on the
advice of the President as well. I'm coordination with the ministers, either
the Minister of Finance, Minister of Education and Culture, Minister for
Religious Affairs, and its relation to Minister of Industry and Trade. We will
try to facilitate it, "he said.
More Nasir explained that the talk now is about the
budget will be allocated to the inventors-the inventor. Therefore, it will be
taken into account as well the feedback (feedback) findings for the state.
"There has been the plan. Only the budget is still
being discussed. There are efforts to withdrawal their back," said Nasir.
The budget, Nasir said, must not be allocated this year,
because they have limited fiscal. However, it will be sought from another
fiscal, according to the government's austerity that has been done.
"The fiscal 2015 we have been limited. I can not
move anymore right. I had to look for another fiscal, through savings," he
said.
He explained that President Joko Widodo also mandates
that, if there are savings to be used directly, so it can be optimized.
"Looking ahead, in 2016, we started to come up with a budget. We encourage
the Minister of Finance and Minister of Industry, if we can pull (scientists
Indonesia) here to wake the industry," he said.
However, not all scientists will be sent home. The
government claimed to have criteria that were targeted scientists or inventors.
This depends on how much value the work or their findings and how much feedback
on the state.
"Later stage is that we want-inventor inventor only.
There are in Japan, America, and several others," said Nasir.
One concern is the inventor of Higher Education and smart
card chip that reportedly now lives in Wisconsin, United States. Smart card
needs in Indonesia is quite large with a total of 50 million units annually.
Price per unit of smart cards was about 15,000.
"We could not have its own production, must be
imported. Imagine 50 million multiplied by 15,000, the total value of Rp7.5
trillion. But he (the inventor of the smart card chip) are also confused to
return to Indonesia, worry can not work. It will we seek and facilitation,
"said Nasir. (VivaNews)
