Medium-and Small-scale Entrepreneurs Suport Prabowo-Hatta

Bandung, W Java (Antara) - Around 5,000 medium- and small-scale entrepreneurs or UMKM across West Java province have expressed their readiness to instruct all their employees to help Prabowo-Hatta pair win the upcoming presidential election. The UMKM entrepreneurs supporting the Prabowo-Hatta duo are the food and beverage-processing entrepreneurs who have workers ranging from one to 100 each, said coordinator of the association of small and medium agro industries (Aikma) Tintin Rodiah here on Thursday. The strategy is to convince a network of businesses and employees to support Prabowo-Hatta become the president of Indonesia. "Later (July 9, 2014), the network of entrepreneurs can convince their families to support the number one pair or Prabowo-Hatta duo," Tintin pointed out. According to her, the reason for supporting Prabowo-Hatta was because they believed the duo could improve the situation of the UMKM entrepreneurs. According to him, Prabowo, a businessman, and Hatta, an economist, will understand the needs and requirements of the Indonesian UMKM entrepreneurs. "Prabowo and Hatta have often conveyed about the people's economy on every occasion such as the campaign," Tintin explained. (*) Reported by Feri Purnama
