Appeal for modest living<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
The Minister of Agriculture has followed in the footsteps of
\nthe speaker of the People's Consultative Assembly, who rejected a
\nluxury car and accommodation. The move may also be imitated by
\nother ministers of the new Cabinet.<\/p>\n
The time has come now for the President to declare a \"modest
\nliving movement\" as part of the 100-day program of the Cabinet.
\nThis drive could be coupled with the elimination of corruption,
\ncollusion and nepotism.<\/p>\n
As suggested in the campaign theme of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
\n-- which was to introduce a change -- there should a change from
\nluxury living to modest living.<\/p>\n
All luxurious presidential facilities, therefore, should be
\nkept to a minimum. This would surely be followed by ministers,
\ndirector generals and secretary-generals.<\/p>\n
Sooner or later, the movement will also influence the
\ncountry's legislative and judicial institutions. In this way,
\nlarge sums of public funds could be saved.<\/p>\n
