JAKARTA (JP): Commander of the Armed Forces (ABRI) Gen. Feisal
\nTanjung said Indonesia needs more people who are dissatisfied
\nwith current developments, yet trust the system enough to strive
\nfor improvements from within.<\/p>\n
People who are dissatisfied and yet loyal to the state
\nideology Pancasila and the constitution will strive to make the
\nnation progress even farther, Feisal told a meeting of the chiefs
\nof military district commands in Bandung, West Java, yesterday.<\/p>\n
\"We need more people who are dissatisfied with conditions, but
\nbelieve that, with Pancasila and the Constitution, the national
\nstability and development can be maintained,\" he was quoted by
\nAntara as saying.<\/p>\n
He said there are three groups of people, each with a
\ndifferent view of national development. The first group consists
\nof \"conservative people who are satisfied with the current
\nsituation, and believe the existing system would bring even
\ngreater improvement in the future\".<\/p>\n
The second group is constituted of \"moderate people who are
\ndissatisfied with the current condition, but believe the system
\ncan still be relevant in the future\", he said.<\/p>\n
The third group is comprised of \"radical people who are
\ndissatisfied with the current condition and distrust the system\",
\nhe said.<\/p>\n
Feisal asked the military leaders to treat the \"non-moderate\"
\ngroup wisely and educate it about the results of the efforts
\ntowards national development and about the national ideology.<\/p>\n
Feisal also told the military chiefs to guide their men in
\n\"becoming role models for society and avoiding behavior which
\nmight either offend public opinion or damage the image of ABRI\".<\/p>\n
