Jakarta to Lose Capital?

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has called upon officials to study the possibility of moving the capital of the country from Jakarta into one of the region's suburbs. Others have suggested moving the capital of the fragmented country of Indonesia from the island of Java (the location of Jakarta) to the island of Borneo. The metropolitan area of Jakarta is one of the world's most populated and the region around Jakarta is known as Jabotabek, which is a sort of acronym for Jakarta and its suburban districts known as Bogor, Tangerang and Bekasi.
