'Bung' Karno's teachings<\/p>\n
From Rakyat Merdeka<\/p>\n
The reform movement has not yet borne fruit because it is not
\nimbued with the teachings of Bung Karno, which stress a love of
\nthe people and togetherness in keeping with the ideals of the
\nAug. 17, 1945 revolution.<\/p>\n
Now that Soeharto has stepped down from his presidential seat,
\nthe stipulation of the People's Consultative Assembly banning
\nBung Karno's teachings has remained in force. The Functional
\nGroup (Golkar) Party as the backbone of the New Order is yet to
\nbe dissolved.<\/p>\n
The 1999 general election, held by the then president BJ
\nHabibie, was not intended for the dissolution of Golkar. This
\ngeneral election gave the New Order forces a chance to
\nconsolidate themselves. The "Unity Cabinet" formed by Abdurrahman
\n"Gus Dur" Wahid and the present "Mutual Help Cabinet", formed by
\nMegawati, essentially only to allow the New Order forces to
\nsurvive.<\/p>\n
In the post-Soeharto era, the governments rely heavily on the
\npower of global imperialism\/capitalism so that our country has to
\nundergo a protracted crisis.<\/p>\n
Even the present administration of Megawati Soekarnoputri has
\nsuccessfully protected Soeharto and his cronies so that they are
\nfree from any prosecution for their previous crimes.<\/p>\n
The longer Megawati is in power, the more disintegrated the
\nnation becomes. The sales of state assets, the revocation of
\nsubsidies for fuel oil, electricity, health and education have
\nmade lower class people more miserable than ever.<\/p>\n
Corruption, collusion and nepotism have become more rampant
\nthan before while bribery is practiced in practically all
\nexecutive, legislative and judiciary institutions.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Megawati, Hamzah Haz, Akbar Tandjung and Amien Rais
\nmust immediately give up their posts and hand them over to those
\nwithout any phobia of Bung Karno's teachings.<\/p>\n
