The Indonesian government says no objection if the organizers "New7Wonders" suspend or remove the Komodo National Park from the list of 28 finalists.

New7Wonders Foundation as organizers have announced the status of the island of Komodo as finalists will be suspended starting on February 7, 2011.

Minister of Culture and Tourism, Jero Wacik, related the particulars write-off Komodo. He said last December, the New7Wonders Foundation to meet him. "They asked Indonesia to host a declaration on 11 month 11 year 2011. Well, I've had a crush, that in Indonesia's declaration of our world can be repercussions. But the weight requirements, so must pay a commitment fee," Jero said, after attending Plenary Meeting of the Cabinet at the Presidential Office on Wednesday (02/02/2011) night.

Government, continued Jero, was asked to pay 10 million dollars as a commitment to host the announcement. 

Not only that, for its implementation, the organizers were also asked to spend 35 million U.S. dollars. "So, in total we spend 45 million dollars or more than Rp 400 billion. I think, because my former employer, calculated baseball worth Rp 400 billion to spend money to promote the dragons so the host is not necessarily to win, do you still choose again into seven, "he explained.

Then, Jero said, that money should be spent as host very large and disproportionate to what was obtained. "It could recoup their baseball (turnover). Although I still want to promote Komodo," Jero said.

Because rejection Indonesia, the organizers declared Komodo will be removed. "They say, if Indonesia can not be a host, we will delete," he said.

Statement organizers considered odd by Jero. He said that if Indonesia is not willing to host, it should still have 27 other countries that also included finalists can replace without having to write off Komodo participation as a finalist. "For me it does not matter in another country, which is important we vote. If the world into seven large memvote and yes it can be seven wonder. That's my mind," Jero said.

Although omitted, Jero said, Indonesia has benefited from the influx of dragons as the 28 finalists. A visit to the island of Komodo has increased significantly.
