“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

WB: Indonesia - The Most Active Reformer

Worldbank

Available in: Bahasa (Indonesian)

Latest Doing Business report recognizes Indonesia as the region’s most active reformer of business regulations in 2008-2009.
Time it takes to start up a new business has gone from 76 to 60 days -- a significant drop from the 100 days it took just three years ago.
Indonesia’s Investment Coordination Board (BKPM) pledges to focus on reforming Companies Law and SME registration.

Jakarta, September 9, 2009 – A nice little ‘birthday gift’ for the Indonesian president who happens to turn 60 today: global recognition of the fact that it is getting easier to do business in Indonesia. Doing Business 2010: Reforming through Difficult Times – the seventh installment in a series of annual reports from the World Bank Group – recognizes Indonesia as the region’s most active reformer of business regulations in 2008-2009, and has accordingly bumped up its ranking from 129 to 122. Local businesses and entrepreneurs are now enjoying a relatively more enabling environment: the time it takes to start up a new business has gone from 76 to 60 days, marking a significant drop from the 100 days it took just three years ago. Other positive reforms include the time it takes to transfer property, which has dropped from 39 to 22 days, as well as the fact that investors now enjoy greater protection thanks to stronger disclosure requirements for related-party transactions. These reforms become particularly impressive once one takes into account that they were carried out during the height of the global economic crisis, and that Indonesia itself has managed to maintain positive economic growth during this difficult period for most of the world.

Muhammad Luthfi, who leads Indonesia’s Investment Coordination Board (BKPM), was on hand for the report’s launch event and announced concrete steps to take business reforms even further. Luthfi says Indonesia would not be able to make any significant improvements on the Doing Business index so long as Law No.40/2007 on Companies remains as it is. The existing law enforces a minimum capital requirement to start up a business, which essentially negates the very point of starting a business. Luthfi highlights that such requirements are not imposed by governments of such neighboring countries as Singapore and Malaysia. Singapore, in fact, ranks number 1 in this year’s Doing Business index.

“I will personally write a letter to the President explaining that this law is very disruptive,” said Luthfi in a joint press conference after the launch. Luthfi hopes that the issue of Law No.40/2007 will become part of the President’s first 100-day work agenda.

Lutfi is also intent on improving conditions for small medium enterprises. At present, some 60 percent of all SMEs in Indonesia remain unregistered, and are denied the opportunity to flourish as legal entities. The process for SME registration is still riddled with red tape and can cost entrepreneurs anywhere between 5-13 million rupiah (500-1,300 USD). Lutfi envisions a simpler registration process which guarantees entrepreneurs official notary documents, a tax card, and funding from commercial banks. “That way, small businesses have the opportunity to grow into medium and eventually large businesses,” he said.
