Cancel importation of luxury cars!<\/p>\n
From Suara Karya<\/p>\n
Print and broadcast media have recently focused their
\nattention on the controversy over the importation of luxury
\nvehicles for a summit to be held in Jakarta shortly. Each of
\nthese luxury cars reportedly costs between Rp 1.5 billion and Rp
\n5 billion. At first it was reported that some 400 cars would be
\nimported, but later the figure was reduced to 50. Isn't that
\ncrazy? If the government goes ahead with this plan, it will show
\nthat it has really lost its sense of crisis.<\/p>\n
Ordinary people live a difficult life now as the prices of
\ndaily necessities have continued to soar. Is it fair, then, for
\nthe government to allow these luxury cars to cruise the streets
\nof the capital while in many places people generally lead a
\nfinancially difficult life? The sight of these luxury automobiles
\nwill only sadden the people at large.<\/p>\n
The government does not need to force itself to indulge in
\nluxury because the event will last only five days. If it insists
\non importing luxury automobiles, it could import only 15
\nbulletproof vehicles for the heads of state. Their bodyguards
\ncould use luxury automobiles owned by the government. This would
\nbe good enough, wouldn't it?<\/p>\n
I believe the government is still willing to hear the voices
\nof the lower class. If the government goes ahead its plan to
\nimport luxury cars, it clearly shows that it no longer heeds its
\nown people. All Indonesians must join forces and support efforts
\nto settle the present crisis.<\/p>\n
