The Damage of Panasonic and Toshiba Company
Closed
Well,
as we know together that nowadays MEA or ASEAN Economy Community has been applied. This means that the free market for
ASEAN has been started too. It effected
to the competition in works arising year by year, which is now it’s become
international competition. So what? How far is it affected to the citizens of
Indonesia exactly?
There’s so many people who said that
our country is just a market, the place where the transactions is happened in
this MEA. There’s also people who think that our human resources are not ready
for this MEA implementation. If we take a look to the condition of our human
resources, it shows us why this problem appears. Let’s see more deeply through
this case. If we compare the number of educated people and uneducated people,
it is so sad. We’ll see the fact that the number of the educated people is less
than uneducated people. This is because of the low economic condition which
makes the parents could not educate the children as well.
Compare with the condition of the
people in Indonesia 20 years ago and right now, we’ll see the significant
differences. 20 years ago, the people who has been graduated from high school
can be called as an educated people. They got a good job, a good social status
and a fine salary. It is different now. Nowadays the people who has been
graduated from the high school is just a uneducated people. They just got a job
as a waiter in a small shop, self-service or even a labor in a company. The
paradigm of the people to them is just no more than an ordinary people. Even
people just consider that they have no a bright future.
Now they just rely on their muscles
for work. While the world need the skill of the brain for works. On the other
hand, someone whom trusted in the using of this skill is just educated people,
that is people who has been graduated from the university. So, when we see the
fact and the condition of our country, the number of an educated people is less
than uneducated people. The effects of this problem? All of us must be
know that mostly our citizens are rely on the muscles for works. Beside
the implementation of MEA makes the condition of the citizens of Indonesia
worse. How?
The closing of the Japanese’s big
company such as Toshiba and Panasonic make it worse and worse again. The
thousands of the labor and the worker of these company has been threaten by the
dissolution of the work contract (PHK). So what happened with those people in
the future? For an educated people it’s been hard to compete with the other
people nowadays in works, so we can imagine with the uneducated people. They
will be more and more difficult to find a job in the future, because they can’t
compete with the educated people who comes from not only in our country, but
also from the other country in ASEAN. They have a minimum skills and education,
so they just rely on their muscles to work, which means they’re not capable to
work in a big company. It make the big companies try to search a better
employees from the other country that more educated and has more skills rather
than our citizens.
This competition is not only
happened to the citizens in our country itself, the Japanese product is also
can’t compete with the product from China. This is the big reason behind the
closing of the Japanese company such as Toshiba and Panasonic. Indonesia has
been considered as an uninteresting country for the investors to invest their
money. This is become a big problem for the labors and the employees that has
been relied their life to these company, because when these company is closed,
they will lose their job.
The big question that appears
through this problem is what will happened to the thousands of citizens of
Indonesia that become a labor and threaten by the dissolution of the work
contract? The government should react fast through this case. Giving the
alternative which can help the people to improve their economy and to get a
job. We can say that to rely on our muscles is not a best solution, it’s the
worst solution. We should change our paradigm by starting to use our skills to
works. As the effects, so we have to get the higher education and then we can
compete with another people in this millennium.
