East Kalimantan Governor Awang H Faroek Dr. Isaac floated the idea ready to be the capital of East Kalimantan of Indonesia replacing Jakarta , which has been packed and do not have adequate carrying capacity of the environment .
This expression by Awang Faroek leveled when entertaining team ekspediasi 4x4 off-road touring to East Kalimantan border area , which was attended by the Chairman of the International Off -road Federation ( IOF ) , General Pol . Pur . Rusmanhadi , Saturday night in Samarinda .
" Perhaps it floated the idea to the Central Government to move the state capital to Kalimantan ? Why maintain a crowded city of Jakarta , traffic jams and sometimes floods , " he asked sejumah off-road expedition participants from various provinces in Indonesia .
According to Awang Faroek , the discourse moved to the state capital of Borneo is great , let alone President Sukarno never prepared Provnsi Central Kalimantan Jakarta as a potential replacement for that time .
According to him , Kaltim ventured to propose as a relocation site for the state capital of East Kalimantan has many potential . Among them , the land is still very wide , population density is still very little , has complete facilities such as airports, ports and arrangement of cargo and passengers that the city can still redesign as needed in the nation's capital .
" So sorry for the people of Central Kalimantan alone , though never in the discourse of the state capital of Central Kalimantan , East Kalimantan but has a number of advantages , not shared by other provinces in Kalimantan , primarily airports and seaports, " he said .
In addition , he is in the East Kalimantan East Kalimantan Indonesian archipelagic sea lanes II which will be the entrance to the eastern part of Indonesia . Moreover , progress ALKI II between the sea and the island of Sulawesi, East Kalimantan will be the entrance and exit merchant ships from East Asia .
According to him , the discourse for the transfer of the capital of East Kalimantan to this course should have the support of all levels of society , especially the DPRD Kaltim and local leaders . Moreover, a proposed course of this discourse should notexists harm and supported by all parties .
" We want the economic growth is not only concentrated in Java . Let's look like in the United States and Australia have developed cities other than the capital of the country . Suffice Jakarta as a city of trade and services , "he said .
Discourse proposed transfer of the capital city of Jakarta to Borneo again emerged as the Governor of East Kalimantan ( Kaltim ) , Awang Ishak Faroek expressed its readiness if Kaltim believed to shift the seat of government of Jakarta as Indonesia in the future .
Responding to the statement , the Indonesian Employers Association ( Apindo ) considered that the removal of the Capital to the discourse of East Kalimantan governor merely a dream come true that would be difficult .
Move the Capital ? It seems this idea we often hear these days . But wait , the former president also had the idea to move the Indonesian capital of Jakarta to other cities . They already predict Jakarta will be crowded and not ideal for being a state capital . Sukarno had the idea to move the capital to Palangkaraya , Central Kalimantan in 1957. Suharto was never initiated the same thing , the seat of government moved to Jonggol , Bogor . But both the president 's intention not materialize or forwarded .
Actually move the seat of government is not new . The nation's capital is a very dense city , where much history has taken place , due to political and economic functions that have happened there . However , sometimes government leaders decided to move the capital from one city to another . Relocation of the capital has been done hundreds of times throughout history . Ancient Egypt , Rome , and China are most often replace capital. Some countries choose a new capital is more easily maintained in the event of war . Some of the new capital was planned and built in previously undeveloped areas , to spur development .
The following 5 States Successful Move capital , becoming a better country :
1 . Brazil
The capital of Brazil , Rio de Janeiro , has a full , crowded , and too far to the other states . The government built Brasilia in 1956 and 1960 . The transfer of the capital has been considered for decades previously . In 1961 Brazil officially became the capital of Brazil . Brazil experienced unprecedented growth . Changes in Capital of Brazil is considered very successful , and many countries have been inspired by the success of Brazil in moving the country 's capital .
2 . Australia
In the 19th century , Sydney and Melbourne are the two largest cities in Australia . The two countries compete to be the capital of Australia . Taking the middle ground , Australia decided to build a new capital . After conducting research and surveys , the New South Wales Government is set to be Australia . Canberra became the capital city of Australia in 1927 .
3 . Myanmar
Myanmar was once the capital of Rangoon . In November 2005 , the government instructed by the military junta to move the capital to Naypyidaw , which had been built since 2002. The world still has not got a definitive explanation , why the capital of Myanmar moved . The capital of this controversial removal , based on astrological advice and political fears . Rangoon is the largest city in the country, and the government limits so that no protests against the government . Naypyidaw is also considered to be more easily maintained during the war .
4 . India
Calcutta , located in Eastern India , was the capital of British India in the colonial period until 1911 . To make it easier to regulate the administration of the whole of India , the capital was transferred to Delhi by the British . New Delhi was built , and officially became the capital in 1947 .
5 . USA
After the American Revolution , Americans hold Congress in 8 states . Construction of a new capital in a separate federal district has been written in the U.S. Constitution . President George Washington chose the area near the Potomac River . Washington DC was built , and became the capital of the United States in 1800 .
In my opinion , the United States has a mature design and succeeded in mapping the state's functions , such as :
- Washington DC for government center
- New York for business center
- Hollywood to the center of the film industry
- Las Vegas for entertainment center
These four states running the same synergy and become famous by America in the eyes of the world .
Well , if the State had a Successful Move capital , following a failed state in moving capital :
1 . Japan
In 1990 , the Diet ( Japanese Parliament ) passed a resolution to move the Japanese capital of Tokyo . In a few weeks , the committee gives the option for the location of new capital to the Prime Minister , such as Tokai , Hokuto , and Mie - Kio . Dietary want to move the capital from Tokyo to ease " excessive concentration " of the political and economic functions in the city . In addition , the government losses in the earthquake in Tokyo is huge . Due to the large removal costs ( U.S. $ 150-350 billion ) , the Opposition suggested that such investment should be used to make better Tokyo and improve preparedness against earthquakes .
2 . Malaysia
Malaysia moved to Putrajaya administrative center in 1995 to alleviate overcrowding in Kuala Lumpur . The plan is designed Putrajaya able to accommodate 500 thousand people, aka half the population of Kuala Lumpur . However, most people are reluctant to move to KL Putrajaya because it is far from the business center . Though the Malaysian government has done a variety of ways , such as incentives and direct motorway wants to move to Putrajaya . But these methods have not produced results to date .
3 . Argentina
Failure to move the capital due to lack of funds experienced by Argentina in 1989 . Argentina had planned moving the capital of Buenos Aires to Viedma . The move has been decided by the state capital of Argentina 's National Congress in May 1987 . The effort stalled because of the economic problems that hit Argentina in 1989 .
: State is planning to move its capital
1 . Iran
Iran considering moving the capital from Tehran , which is commonly affected by the earthquake . If capital is a different city , the government can manage the crisis and reduce casualties . Political leaders and seismologists are studying the area near Qom and Isfahan as a place to build a new capital , but this will probably take several decades and a large amount of money to complete .
2 . Indonesia
Jakarta is densely populated , traffic jams, slums , and flooding , making the idea of moving the capital of Indonesia often sticking . However , a lack of traction and the pros and cons of government in the transfer of capital , making this idea into a wild ball which will obviously not where they lead , into an idea that sometimes appear , sometimes drowning .
Indonesia needs to learn from countries that succeed or fail in the transfer of the capital , and with a very carefully discussing the removal of the state capital 's discourse . Depth studies involving various stakeholders at central and regional necessary to determine the best choice of the state capital redeployment scenarios . The decision will be the transfer of the capital of the country 's largest and most important public works projects in the history of the nation of Indonesia .
