Controversy on election<\/p>\n
From Republika<\/p>\n
There has been such a fuss recently about whether the civil
\nservants corps (Korpri) are compelled to vote for Golkar in the
\ngeneral election.<\/p>\n
What severe headaches I get reading the contrary opinions on
\nthe subject. Things in violation of the law happen so easily in
\nthis country. On the one hand, the right of civil servants as
\ncitizens is recognized. On the other it is practically nullified
\ndue to the esprit de corps imposed. A civil servant's career
\ncould fall to pieces and there would be no guilt felt on the part
\nof the enforcers who trample other citizens' rights.<\/p>\n
Much has been written on sexual violation, but actually other
\nkinds of violations have often taken place in this country. It is
\nvery distressing indeed that 50 years is not sufficient to
\nenforce the law properly, i.e. to enforce justice and equality
\nbefore the law for each citizen. When will our situation change?<\/p>\n
The culture of unity-in-diversity should be developed from the
\nstart, i.e. we should all learn to differ in opinion, however
\nsharp the difference. We should respect other people's opinions
\nwithout becoming foes. Why do not we return to the right path?<\/p>\n
Let us, fellow countrymen, repair the things which need
\nmending for our safety and that of our progeny. We feel so
\nashamed in front of our neighbors who are so orderly in law,
\njustice and humanity. We have Pancasila, the first principle of
\nwhich is God Almighty. God created men with all their
\ndifferences. Do respect those differences because they are God's
\nmercy.<\/p>\n
