Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Member of the House of Representatives (DPR)`s Commission X dealing with education Angelina Sondakh said that many Indonesian researchers had moved to Malaysia.
"The only way to solve the problem is to increase the budget for research and improve the welfare of researchers," the legislator from the Democrat Party told Antara here Saturday night.
Angelina said welfare was one of the causes of researchers moving to Malaysia where they would earn much more.
"I will try to increase the research budget as it has been reduced by routine budgeting especially at the Higher Learning Directorate" she said.
The one-time Miss Indonesia said the researchers are very important to Indonesia as they are highly-qualified human resources expected to accelerate the process of national reform.
"(We) are very concerned over the fact that so many research work had not been completed due to the lack of funds. Research need to be completed and the results should be followed up for public and commercial purposes," she said.
Angelina would invite her colleagues at the Commission X of different factions to fight for the improvement of researchers` welfare and the increase in budget for research purposes.
