It is still busy responding to complaints and making sweet sounding promises about the nation's future. In the climate of democratic euphoria, people initially listened to the alluring promises and sunny rhetoric. However, it has now begun to dawn that some more urgent problems have to be dealt with. The economy is sliding into an increasingly precarious situation.",
        "content": "<p>Economic repair urgent<\/p>\n<p>It seems President B.J. Habibie&apos;s government is still being<br>\nswept by the reform tide. It is still busy responding to<br>\ncomplaints and making sweet sounding promises about the nation&apos;s<br>\nfuture. In the climate of democratic euphoria, people initially<br>\nlistened to the alluring promises and sunny rhetoric. However, it<br>\nhas now begun to dawn that some more urgent problems have to be<br>\ndealt with. The economy is sliding into an increasingly<br>\nprecarious situation. Prices of essential goods continue to soar.<br>\nThe rupiah has not improved in value and there is no stopping the<br>\nrise in the inflation rate.<\/p>\n<p>We have yet to see any significant policy steps taken by the<br>\nDevelopment Reform Cabinet to mend this serious economic<br>\nsituation. Several Cabinet ministers have apparently still not<br>\nmade all out efforts to improve things in their respective<br>\nspheres of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Habibie government is of a transitional nature --<br>\nor whatever the phrase may be -- the people are hoping that it<br>\nwill not just dismantle things without bringing an improvement in<br>\nthe situation. In this context, a saying the late Bung Karno<br>\n(President Sukarno) was fond of seems to be of relevance: We<br>\nshould be able not only to demolish (what is undesirable), we<br>\nmust also be able to build (better things).<\/p>\n<p>-- Media Indonesia, Jakarta<\/p>",
