Teman-teman Indoz-net semua, Setelah membaca kiriman berita dari Sus Betty dibawah ini, maka 'beta' senang sebab terbuka banyak lapangan kerja di beberapa propinsi baru di Indonesia. Tidak hanya itu, adanya pemekaran propinsi di Indone- sia akan lebih mempercepat perkembangan suatu daerah otonom dalam berbagai bidang kehidupan. Bagaimana pendapat teman-teman Indonesia yang lain?
