"Don`t
make as much profit as possible at the cost of social interests," he said
when inaugurating the head office of publicly-listed pharmaceutical product
manufacturer PT Tempo Scan Pacific Tbk in South Jakarta on Wednesday.
The
President said he did not object to businesspersons making profit, which
according to him is one of ethics in the business world.
Profit will
make companies stronger so they will have no reason to lay off their employees.
The employees will lead an increasingly prosperous life if they are well paid
as a result of the companies` improving profit, he said.
Yudhoyono
said the improving profit of the companies must be followed by an effort to
promote their workers` living standards.
In doing
so, the companies must be able to produce low-cost goods or services,
particularly for low-income people, while at the same time try to promote their
employees` living standards, he said.
On the
occasion, the President also asked national companies that have expanded their
businesses abroad to continuously give priority to national interests.
The
companies must always pay attention to the nation`s image by marketing products
of national character, he said.
The
President said he has instructed the concerned ministers to provide incentives
to companies that employ workers in large numbers.
After
inaugurating the head office of PT Tempo Scan Pacific Tbk, President Yudhoyono
will attend the first plenary session of the National Energy Council later in
the day.
