4. Jakarta has two other areas of concern: Riau and East Kalimantan. Both of these regions have considerable natural wealth (oil and gas reserves), and generate per capita incomes well above the national average, yet control has long been with the central government, leaving these regions resentful that they have been unable to enjoy the full benefits from their wealth. Kalimantan's affairs are also complicated by poor ethnic relations between the local Dayaks and the more newly resettled Madurese.
