Asmoredjo

Figures which we will discuss this time was Mr. Asmoredjo. He is a farmer as well as fossil diggers in the area of ​​Sangiran in Sragen. He has also appeared on the show Talk Show on Kick Andy.

As a farmer he was admitted as a farmer's income is insufficient to meet daily needs. So he sought other fortune seekers to become fossilized.

There is a poignant story of his journey as a fossil digger. He must face the dilemma of when to find fossils. On the one hand he must follow the government's plea that if it finds fossils should be left to the museum and on the other hand he must make ends meet.

So this story, if fossil findings were presented to the museum the fossil findings that will be one that adds to the wealth of ancient Indonesia. But often these findings priced cheaply, he said the highest Rp. 10.000, - and pay for long. Meanwhile, if the findings are delivered to the receiver, then the receiver objects - relics have dared to pay a high price which is about Rp. 200.000, - to Rp. 300.000, -. But of course, the fence will resell to another party (perhaps overseas) with exorbitant prices. Of course, the Indonesian nation has lost one of his ancient wealth.
This story makes me sad. Government seems less serious in maintaining ancient wealth. The museum is interviewed by a team of Kick Andy admitted they are facing a dilemma, because in reality the funds provided by government to save fossils findings are not able to compete with the receiver who dared to pay a high price. No wonder if the fossils are very valuable findings eventually fell into the hands of overseas buyers.
It opened our eyes to how we (the Indonesian state) often lose what - what is valuable in this country due to lack of government attention in handling the case.

But it happened several years ago. Hopefully the conditions are now much better. Amen

So may be useful
