JAKARTA - When the government announced the liquidation of 16 banks last Saturday, many people are surprised as they did not expect their bank to be on the list, Others were still trying to come to terms with the fact that they had lost their jobs.

"I heard on the radio that 16 bank were liquidated, that's why I came here, to check whether I could still withdraw my money," said Prapto, who claimed to have a deposit in one of the liquidated banks on JI. Thamrin. But the said he couldn't get it as it was Saturday and most banks do not open then.

The headquarters of some of the liquidated banks, such as Bank Pacific and Bank Industrylook calm, with only a few people coming and going. Several people called the 'Observer' last Saturday afternoon two find out which banks had been liquidated.

I Nyoman Moena, a noted banking analyst told the 'Observer' it is a normal reaction for people to panic when hearing such things, but, he said, the government must certainly have anticipated the situation. "I think the monetary authority must have been prepared this tune, after the announcement of the liquidation of Bank Sumina in 1992," Moena said referring to the guarantee by the government two pay depositors in to weeks on November, 13, 1997 and the naming of the banks that will handle the pay outs.

When announcing the liquidations last Saturday, Bank Indonesia assured depositors they would get their money back. Those who had less than Rp 20 million would get all their money on November 13, while those who had over Rp 20 million would get up to Rp 20 million in the first stage with the remainder being paid later.

The President Director of Bank IFI Harry Rachmadi said yesterday that the liquidation of sixteen bank would certainly have an impact in the community, as some people may lose their jobs. To minimize the impact of the liquidations. it is important to accelerate the process. Rachmadi said that the decision could also be a 'shock therapy' for Indonesian banks. "Bank owners can no longer do as they want when operating their own banks," he said. He also said that some members of the public should have


anticipated this, as the press had ear her reported the likely liquidation of some ailing banks following the currency turmoil that hit the country in July this year.

56. The main idea of paragraph 4 is .........A . some banks are assigned to handle the pay outsB . the government has anticipated the people's reactionC . the government guarantees to pay depositors by certain banksD . I Nyoman Moena is a noted banking analystE . The liquidated banks do not guarantee that the depositors can get back their deposits

57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text ?A . The hadquarter of the liquidated banks were crowded with peopleB . Bank Summa was one of the banks liquidated last SaturdayC .

In my community its various organisms are linked in a complicated web of relationships. There are usually in balance with one another. If the natural web is disturbed, the results my be disastrous. As a rule, the various populations of organisms tend to adjust to seasonal and other changes, and the whole community stays in balance. Most disturbances come from man's activities.

In an undisturbed forest, white-tailed deer feed on plants of various kinds. Wolves and mountain lions prey on the deer. When deer are numerous, their enemies become numerous too, because them is so much to feed upon. The deer and their enemies stay in balance with one another.

Then man enters the scene. He looks on aninuls such as wolves and mountain lions as harmful. He kills as many as possible. When the animals that feed on deer are killed, the deer multiply, without check. Soon the large deer population has eaten nearly all the plants available for food. Then the deer begin to starve.

Another example of man's interference with natural communities is the use of chemical insecticides. Grass in the sprayed areas my he eaten by cows. As a result, the milk of some cows has been found to contain too much DDT. The insecticides are also collected in the tissues of birds that eat the sprayed insects. Some of the affected birds lay eggs that do not hatch. The number of birds therefore decreases, cutting down the food supply of other animals.

Whether intended or not, almost every change that man has made in natural webs of life has turned out to be a disaster for the communities involved. Man, of course, is part of the world's living


community. Everything he does affects all the rest of it, just as my change in the community or climate around him affects his own well-being. Thus, by changing natural communities, man may arm himself.

58. What is the text about .......A . ForestsB . Disturbed forestsC . Disturbed communutiesD . A complicated web of relationshipsE . The interference of men with natural communities
