 Aljazeera.Net - Indonesian Chinese brace for change   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Jakarta daily Sinar Harapan (Voice of Hope) this week quoted Jusuf saying he was considering changes to lending polices that would lower the interest rates on loans to a group overwhelmingly comprised (by his own admission up to 95%) of indigenous Indonesian businessmen.
Jusuf claims the policy will level the business playing field and reduce the amount of discrimination directed at the nation's tiny ethnic Chinese community.
A well-connected businessman from South Sulawesi province, Jusuf built his wealth by taking advantage of similar legislation implemented by the former Suharto regime in the 1970s that was supposed to jump-start indigenous pribumi (sons of the soil) enterprises, according to Jakarta lawyer Ivan Wibowo.

 Asean Focus Group - Asian Analysis
Jusuf Kalla is well known as a member of Golkar's eastern caucus, which has numerically dominated the party since the 1999 election when the party was devastated in its traditional stronghold of Java.
Jusuf Kalla's origins in South Sulawesi not only helped his placement on Yudhoyono's ticket - in order to balance the President's Javanese background - but allowed him to take advantage of the inevitability of the representatives from eastern Indonesia seizing control of the Golkar Party.
Jusuf Kalla's last minute decision to enter the race was apparently prompted by Yudhoyono himself.
