"Because the two areas that directly borders with neighboring countries," said Ryaas who is also a member of the President's Advisory Council after attending an open exam Tanri Abeng doctorate at the University of Gadjah Mada University, Saturday, July 17, 2010

Expansion of the area, said Ryaas, the main aim to make room for local political participation and the entry of money from the center to the regions. However, to do the expansion in an area there must be a first explanation to the public who want a division on the issue to be dealt with after the expansion. Therefore, region expansion is not easy and inexpensive.

"Expansion of the region should be the solution to a problem faced by a region, rather than add to the problem or create new problems," said the president's National Democratic Party.

A few days ago, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said the new expansion area of approximately 80 percent failed. Region expansion undertaken since the last 10 years reached 205 districts in Indonesia.
