People should not be greedy in exploiting natural resources: president

"We should not be egoistic or greedy nor abdicate our responsibility to protect the interest of future generations," the president said when inaugurating the Bali Safari and Marine Park here on Tuesday.

The head of state said coming generations also had the right to benefit from existing natural resources.

"Therefore, I agree to and support the initiative of all quarters to preserve natural resources," he said.

On the occasion, the president also raised the question of domestic-versus-global economies which was often taken up by various quarters.
