Ghost of the New Order regime?<\/p>\n
From Rakyat Merdeka<\/p>\n
Nobody knows for sure when the monetary and political crises
\nwill end, but what seems clear is that the people are getting
\npoorer and poorer. I still remember when Sukarno was named
\npresident for life, that no body dared protest against him
\nbecause only very few people dared to criticize his policies.<\/p>\n
Then Soeharto came to power. Regretfully, many of his cronies
\nstayed in power when Soeharto was brought down, a condition which
\nwas different from the Sukarno regime: Sukarno was toppled along
\nwith all his cronies in 1965.<\/p>\n
Soeharto even bequeathed his presidential seat to B.J.
\nHabibie, his protege, and until the 1999 general elections, the
\nSoeharto regime continued to exist under the mask of the Reform
\nOrder.<\/p>\n
The people and university students wanted to have a new
\ngeneration of politicians in government and to cut the link with
\nthe New Order. Leaders of the future must not come from power-
\nhungry political parties.<\/p>\n
If the Megawati administration lasts until the next 2004
\nelection, it will only mean perpetuating the suffering of the
\npeople.<\/p>\n
