"The government will consider this and give a reward to Rita," Linda Amalia Sari Gumelar said here Wednesday.
Linda’s statement was made to follow up on a Japanese government reward for Rita Retnaningtyas, a nurse at Miyagi hospital, who had helped many of the quake and tsunami victims. Linda said the Indonesian government was proud of Rita’s efforts in Japan in popularizing Indonesia in the world.
But Linda was still not sure about the form of government reward for the Indonesian nurse. Rita Retnaningtyas (35) came from Srondol Kulon, Banyumanik sub-district in Semarang, Central Java.
Rita who is employed as a nurse at Miyagi National Hospital, was sent in 2009 by the Indonesian Workers Placement and Protection Agency under cooperation between the Indonesia and Japanese governments. Rita and some of her friends were willing to stay in the areas hit by the March 11 quake and tsunami in Miyagi for social and humanitarian services.
