Failure of election<\/p>\n
From Republika<\/p>\n
To say that the June 7 general election will fail reflects a
\nsmall-mindedness on the speaker's part.<\/p>\n
Freedom of expression is one of the human rights of each
\ncitizen. It includes the expression of doubt about honesty and
\nfairness of the election. However, if the statement of doubt
\ncomes from former president Soeharto, it compels us to reflect on
\nthe matter more deeply.<\/p>\n
All citizens should be aware that the general election is one
\nof the nation's endeavors to strengthen a democracy that we all
\nhave created. It is our responsibility to join hands in
\ncooperation toward honest and fair elections. We should think in
\na positive and optimistic way because in life, man has his hopes
\nand prayers to obtain something that is best. Actually, someone
\nwho thinks in a negative way, is always pessimistic and in doubt
\nabout his own capacity, reflecting a characteristic of small-
\nmindedness. We have hopes and our own capabilities, do we not?<\/p>\n
What is the real situation toward the general election now? It
\nis marked by clashes between parties. This must be seen as a
\nlearning process toward adulthood in politics which for many
\nyears was not given room for free self-expression. We must be
\nconvinced that with a long learning process the Indonesian nation
\nwill be able to become politically adult. They will be able to
\nrealize a nation that is just, prosperous, civilized and cultured
\nso that in the present and future eras our beloved nation will
\nbecome once again a respected nation with dignity. One of the
\nconditions thereto is optimism, conviction and self-confidence.<\/p>\n
