 Caltex Æs Corporate Colony
Caltex, which first invested in Riau in the early part of this century, is by far the largest oil producing company in oil-rich Indonesia.
Accordingly, Caltex is a highly valued foreign investor, and not likely to be criticized by the government; despite IndonesiaÆs ongoing and somewhat successful attempts to diversify its economy, oil still accounts for 31 percent of the debt-ridden countryÆs foreign exchange earnings.
Both the government and Caltex appear very interested in defusing any protest activities in their infancy, and a key element of their strategy is dividing the local community and splitting it off from non- governmental organizations such as WALHI Riau.
