 115 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.
116 "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.
117 The headquarters of some of the liquidated banks, such as Bank Pacific and Bank
Industry
118 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.
119 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.
120 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.
121 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.

142 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.
143 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.
144 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.
145 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.
146 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.
