Jakarta Globe: "Ministry Backing Military Nonprofits
The Indonesian Armed Forces should be allowed to keep its small nonprofit cooperatives and foundations despite being required by law to sell off all its business interests, Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono said on Tuesday.
The House of Representatives passed a law in 2004 requiring the government to take over all military-owned businesses by 2009, but the Defense Ministry wants to allow the military to keep cooperatives that provide cheap basic commodities and small saving schemes for low-ranking soldiers, and foundations which offer inexpensive education for their children.
“Low-ranking soldiers and their families really need them,” Juwono said."
