Download or read book The Riau Islands written by Francis E Hutchinson and published by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Singapore’s immediate south, Indonesia’s Riau Islands has a population of 2 million and a land area of 8,200 sq kilometers scattered across some 2,000 islands. The better-known islands include Batam, the province’s economic motor; Bintan, the area’s cultural heartland and site of the provincial capital, Tanjungpinang; and Karimun, a ship-building hub strategically located near the Straits of Malacca. Leveraging on its proximity to Singapore, the Riau Islands—and particularly Batam—has been a key part of Indonesia’s strategy to develop its manufacturing sector since the 1990s. In addition to generating a large number of formal sector jobs and earning foreign exchange, this reorientation opened the way for a number of far-reaching political and social developments. Key among them has been: large-scale migration from other parts of the country; the secession of the Riau Islands from the larger Riau Province; and the creation of a new provincial government. Building on earlier work by the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute on the SIJORI Cross-Border Region, spanning Singapore, the Malaysian state of Johor, and the Riau Islands, and a second volume looking specifically at Johor, the third volume in this series explores the key challenges facing this fledgling Indonesian province.

Book excerpt: Developing Batam lifts the veil on the story of the development of Batam Island, Indonesia. In the late 1960s the island was a sleepy backwater of subsistence farmers and fishermen. Today Batam is a thriving commercial center, but its shortcomings -- an unpredictable policy and regulatory environment, undeveloped utilities and infrastructure, and the persistence of political and business coalitions -- threaten to impede its future development. The author offers insights into the key policy-making processes and players, the politics of business, and the role played by neighboring Singapore on Batam as well as in the broader context of Indonesian political economy of the past and present.
