Constant safety is vital<\/p>\n
From Merdeka<\/p>\n
Business tycoon Ciputra has said general safety and law
\ncertainty are prerequisites for conducting business.<\/p>\n
The recent riots in Tasikmalaya, Tanah Abang, Rengasdengklok,
\nKarawang and the rumors about unrest in Bandung, following the
\ndestruction of a textile mill in Sumedang, have disturbed the
\nbusiness climate. This situation tends to discourage foreign
\nbusinessmen to invest here. The government is expected to
\nimmediately overcome the situation so businessmen can continue
\ntheir activities in tranquility.<\/p>\n
Indonesian people who appreciate peace and quiet fully support
\nCiputra's statement, especially those who have suffered from
\ndisturbances such as businessmen. Although the Armed Forces said
\naction would be taken against each rioter, it did not stop the
\nrampage in Rengasdengklok. The present situation really gives us
\nsleepless nights. Every time somebody in our neighborhood cries
\nout, we think there is a riot so fear envelops us prior to the
\nIdul Fitri holiday.<\/p>\n
We should be proud of the successful efforts in our
\ndevelopment. The economy has made considerable progress. Many
\ntraders ply their business from towns to villages. But military
\nobserver Hasnan Habib was right when he said the current
\nsituation is very sensitive. The people have curbed their anger
\nfor a long time. Our society is paternalistic. They see and
\nstrongly feel what the formal and non-formal leaders say, so
\nleaders should not exaggerate their statements which would give
\nrise to annoyance.<\/p>\n
Indeed, Hasnan Habib, the people are angry and dissatisfied
\nwith the present situation. There are people who are becoming
\nricher all the time with their families. When they talk they seem
\nwilling to help the people. But the reality proves different.
\nThey forget that when the riots occur, the people are the
\nvictims.<\/p>\n
