2015考研英语阅读印尼的特氟纶巨头

　　Bakrie持续的影响力导致了在雅加达的很多讨论。Bakrie控制的公司覆盖了印尼经济的各行各业，包括采矿业、石油和天然气、棕榈油、房地产、电信以及金融等。因此当印尼的总统SusiloBambang Yudhoyono在2004年任命Bakrie 作为大臣全权负责经济运作时曾一度为相关利益冲突绞尽脑汁。尽管Bakrie 在2005年的政府改组后被任命管理印尼的社会福利以及公众服务事业，那些论战相较以往只是更激烈而已。

　　In 2006 a devastating mudflow erupted near a site in Java where Lapindo Brantas, aBakrie-controlled company, was drilling for gas. The mud continues to flow today, and hasdisplaced more than 16,000 people, swamping entire villages, factories and towns in toxicsludge. Lapindo Brantas disavows any responsibility, despite claims that it had failed to useappropriate safety equipment while drilling. It insists the mudflow was triggered by anearthquake three days beforean explanation that has been dismissed by numerousinternational experts. Lapindo still has not compensated most of those displaced by themudflow despite twice being ordered to do so by Mr Yudhoyono. A police investigation limpedalong for more than three years before officials announced last August that they weredropping the case. Soon after a special investigative committee of the House ofRepresentatives, led by a member of Golkar, declared, with little scientific backing, that themudflow was a natural disaster.
