Kotabaru, S Kalimantan (Antaranews Kalsel) - The expert on constitutional law Prof. Yusril Ihza Mahendra stated that the presence of Sebuku Group is not just to open employment, but also have multiplier effect.
"Sebuku Group provides an opportunity for the community to expand their business into a supplyer or other business," said former Minister of Justice and Human Rights and former Secretary of State when attending halal bihalal held by coal company Sebuku Group with Kotabaru community on Friday.
Yusril said, Sebuku Group was given the opportunity to invest to open the mine properly, through prossesing. It does not just dig with the excavator and load it onto the barge and then export it. Can not be like that.
As in Sebuku Island, the company has built a processing plant of iron ore or dry iron. And coal can be processed into briquettes, or even into oil. Thus, there are new products that have added value from the indutsry.
If Sebuku Group is already in production, he said, the company set aside some of its benefits for school children's scholarships to be smarter. Give wider opportunities for children to attend school.
Although we are poor in Pulau Laut (Kotabaru) and the economy is not good, but the children still have to go to school. Because with school children can change their future.
