Civil servants are people too<\/p>\n
From Republika<\/p>\n
With the price of fuel going up, civil servants (PNS) have to
\npay more for transportation. Poor people receive some sort of
\ntransportation subsidy but not civil servants, who have not
\nreceived a raise.<\/p>\n
Is the Corps of Civil Servants (Korpri) still around? If this
\norganization still exists, it must do something to improve the
\nlot of civil servants.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Abdurrahman Wahid lost his presidential seat
\nbefore he could realize his plan to raise the salaries of civil
\nservants by 100 percent. Civil servants must thank Habibie for
\nsecretly raising their salaries while he was still president.<\/p>\n
A direct presidential election would really be a boon for the
\npeople, as they could elect someone who would really fight for
\nthem, and not only for their political party.<\/p>\n
If the political elite is concerned about the common people,
\nthey must ensure that the 1945 Constitution will be amended to
\nallow for direct presidential elections.<\/p>\n
