KDB Head Slams Daewoo Motor Sale Talks

President Jung Keun-young of the state-run Korea Development Bank said Wednesday that the ongoing negotiations to sell off Daewoo Motor have not been based on business ideals but politics.,

Jung told reporters that a "business-minded" handling of the sales would solve every concerned issue,, adding that under an economic approach creditors would sell the marketable assets to General Motors at reasonable prices,, while excluding those assets that which would not receive a reasonable prices.

Jung explained that the real estate value of Daewoo Motor's Pupyeong plant is estimated at W2 trillion,, which could easily balloon when if use of the land was changed.

Jung,, however,, said that the problem of the Pupyeong plant is that it contains production facilities that do not generate any profits as well as militant workers who have been voicing their opposition to the sale.

Jung also remarked that Daewoo's component suppliers and workers have been suggesting that Daewoo Motor had better be handed over to GM for free. Jung countered the claim by asking that if it was okay to simply write off the massive losses at creditor banks which are supported by taxpayers.

Jung said that there was no set schedule to complete the negotiations and added that his bank has counter-measures ready in case the negotiations break down.

[Song Hee-young] An Internet Coup

The government announced a plan to foster venture businesses which included a W1 trillion fund,, but all it contained were objectives and figures. Other parties are preparing to announce their policies for this around the general election,, but it is unlikely that they will be much different. If the plans for venture businesses are all like the government's,, then only those people who wander around government offices will get money and the only business to flourish will be entertainment places sited by administrative buildings.


Internet companies,, venture businesses and SOHOs are not ones that can be nurtured by government,, they are free from interference by officials and so all the administration should do is not hamper them. They are alienated from established financial organizations and cannot make contracts with big businesses or the government. The established economic powers always look into past records or contracts and are scared of foreign faces. New emerging entrepeneurs therefore had to wander around outside this.


The new businesses had to go to the KOSDAQ and established businessmen tried to look down on the young entrepeneurs who raised big money on this market, from angels and overseas funds. This is a completely different way of funding compared to established businessmen and chaebol owners who when in need of money went to bank owners,, politicians and government officials. So in the Korean economy there are new emerging businessmen who are not linked to the vicious circle of collusion that brought the country to its knees two years ago.


In the US and Japan the boom centered around the internet is interpreted as a generational revolution without ideology. This means for the first time in the economic history of mankind,, the younger generation have led an economic coup. In addition it has been a borderless revolution that shows success or failure in a relatively short time.


If the government and politicians really wanted to help internet and venture businesses or SOHOs then they should share the privileges that had been enjoyed by chaebol, financial institutions and economic bureaucrats. For instance,, the money market needs to be opened so that emerging companies can acquire cheap loans easily. It may be necessary to open another stock market or invite the NASDAQ to Korea. Newly emerging businesses can only grow when there is an excellently run stock market.


Also,, the privileges enjoyed by chaebol and big companies must be shared. The government should change legislation so that e-commerce companies can win government contracts. If the government sticks to its outdated behavior of only giving contracts to businesses with previous track records,, then e-commerce will not survive.


To raise venture capital companies government officials must change their practices. I have witnessed young entrepeneurs criticize the government and its officials regarding regulations,, as Korea's services are not up to the standard of the US where a company can register by using the internet. Allowing registration through the internet would mean laying off officials, but the governemnt appears t6o lack the determination to make the sacrifice.

[Editorial] Human Rights for Foreign Labor

How bad things would have to be for foreign laborers to have to take to the streets. The stated theme of a demonstration by foreign labor Sunday at Seoul's Pagoda Park was to demand the abolishment of the "labor training system" under which they are currently employed and the implementation of system that would allow their full,, formal employment, but it must be recognized that their underlying claims are for an abolishment of all forms of discrimination, the guaranteeing of basic rights, and a stop to human rights abuses. With this recognition we must examine ourselves in regards to the shameful treatment they've been given here, and work towards the establishing standards for treatment that are consistent with international agreements.



Stop and look at the problems of foreign workers from their perspective. If our families and relatives were off working in foreign lands only to be denied wages and have their human rights trampled on,, we would not sit quietly. And so if a considerable number of foreigners working in Korea are being treated as less than human,, then the indeed we do have a problem. People say they're angry at how some foreigners show contempt for Koreans,, but there is not even the least of any sense of shame when foreigners who've come here to work are then looked down upon and mistreated. Of course we're going to be the object of international criticism. So what if within traditional East Asia we've been called the "country of courteous people in the East." We're earning a reputation of being a country that is strong before the weak, and weak before the strong.



At the end of 1993 the government implemented a "foreign labor trainee system" designed to help make legal again the increasing number of foreign workers here illegally. The problem was that this plan only affected the "3D" jobs avoided by Koreans for being "dirty, dangerous,, and difficult." This foreign labor "training" served only as an economic means,, a way to import labor, and working conditions and human rights conditions have only worsened. Numerous civic groups have worked to assist foreign workers,, and yet their basic rights continue to be ignored because our society is completely infected with a chronic evil known as contempt for foreign laborers. When foreign laborers cry in awkward Korean "Please don't hit us,!" because they've been subject to inhuman exploitation, confinement, and assault, they're thinking us no less than beasts, and this is as shameful as it can get. There seems no end to it,, as recently some Russian dancers had their passports taken from them and incidents where laborers have been found to been exploited continue to become more frequent.



The government is pursuing the passing of a system by which foreign laborers could be hired as regular employees to better protect their human rights,, but this should be preceded by a campaign to correct the "consciousness gone astray" that allows people to look down upon foreign labor and treat them without respect. They are just as deserving of improved working conditions as they are of human treatment. Korea must become a country where these people can work legally and with peace of mind. Things have gone too far when elementary students in Seongnam have to apologize to these foreigners for the wrongs of their elders and pass along a donation to their cause. If we continue to want to be treated properly in the global era while treating others without respect,, we Koreans will find it difficult to avoid reprisals in the international community.
