Enterpreneur West Papua Siap Buka Usaha di East Papua

Jhon Yonathan Kwano sebagai direktur PAPUAmart.com telah mengunjungi Papua New Guinea sebanyak dua kali ke ibukota East New Guinea atau Papua New Guinea (PNG). Tujuan kunjungan untuk merintis usaha minimarket  PAPUAmart.com dan cafe Bananaleaf dan Kios kklingkar.com di ibukota negara dan provinsi di PNG.

Kunjungan pertama dilakukan dalam perjalanan pulang dari penjajagan bisnis di Republik Vanutu awal tahun 2018. Jhon Yonathan Kwano telah melakukan studi awal untuk bisnis di Vanuatu tetapi kondisi di sana membutuhkan usaha harus ada di PNG sebelum Vanuatu karena secara praktis lebih tepat kalau jaringan bisnis untuk ke Melanesia dibangun di Port Moresby, ibukota PNG.

Dari kedua kunjungan ke PNG telah dijajagi beberapa kegiatan bisnis yang sudah harus jalan pada tahun 2019.

Saya sempat berdiskusi dengan salah seorang pengusaha di Denpasar Bali. Saya sampaikan peluang yang begitu matang menganga.  Dia sangat bersemangat dan akan mengusahakan modal kalau perlu.

Sebelum dia mulai menanggapi kesan pesan saya pertama-tama dia tanyakan "Kan gubernur Papua sudah banyak kali ke PNG dan saya baca sudah ada banyak deal-deal bisnis? "

Saya jawab sederhana orang Papua di barat dan timur New Guinea itu satu bangsa satu ras satu kelakuan.  Salah satu kelakuan yang bisa saya beritahu terkait pertanyaan bapak adalah kesamaan kelakuan bahwa kebanyakan orang Papua itu bicara berdasarkan susana "ale'nggen kenok" artinya dalam situasi kehangatan setelah bertemu apa saja bisa disinggung dan apa saja bisa dianggap beres.

Jadi kelihatannya sudah ada deal padahal orang Papua itu kebanyakan bicara mimpi siang bolong.  Langkah kongkrit justru selalu datang dari Jawa,  Toraja,  Medan dan Makassar.  Itu fakta bikan mitos bukan fiksi.

Setelah berkunjung dua kali dan bertemu dengan beberapa orang di PNG yang tertarik dengan Enterpreneur Papua sudah disepakati kerjasama bisnis Port Moresby - Port Numbay dalam tahun 2019.

Saya Jhon Yonathan Kwano berharap Lukas Enembe sebagai sahabat sebangsa setanah air dan sebagai pemegang kuasa atas administrasi dan sumber ekonomi di Provinsi Papua dan Mandatjan di Provinsi Papua Barat akan mendukung langkah PAPUAmart.com ini

Bisiness in Papua New Guinea is in "Wonok Ndindi" State

"Wonok ndi-ndi" is in Lani of West Papua language meaning chaotic dog or pig-like eating habit in operation. Basic law of the nature according to Charles Darwin perfectly in operations here in the largest city in Melanesia : Port Moresby.

We must acknowledge that this law of the strongest as the winner(s) and the weakest looses and finally wipped out is operational within Melanesian tribal society. What is missing right now in city life,  particularly in Port Moresby is the norms and values,  and the systems in which the law and the game operate. 

There is a system that we name it today as "wantok systen" that is in operation in every aspect of our lives.  Inside the systems we have values and norms that are commonly accepted and practiced from generation to generation. The norm such as "we must greet and have a talk with anyone we meet a new person or our own friends,  families and relatives" is not applicable anymore in Port Moresby today. Such an act can be treated with cautions and suspicion.

Another example in the village we are strongly advised to help those in need and feed foreigners who happen to passing by our house while we are eating. This is somewhat a "tambu" or forbiden act in the city today.

Another example again,  in the village elders are respected as wisemen,  but in the city they are treated as retired useless living being that should be dumped into elderly house and those modern educated inexperienced under equiped youth become the one people listen to.

The result is the young Papuans loose momentum. They arw still reading books, talking and talking,  do not know and therefore cannot do anything at all.  Foreigners see this as the golden opportunity for them to operate freelu,  lightly and as fast as possible.

The atmosphere that Port Moresby is on fire,  and everyone is on alert,  suspicious of each other, make use of the local youth that are still talking and reading a lot and doing nothing, take anything that can taken,  robb as the situation allows, take away as manu and as much as possible before the fire is off,  before those talkative Papuans start realising they are useless and their country is beeing "looted" due to their own ignorence,  innosence, and foolishness
