IMF implementation<\/p>\n
Having read your article IMF package not in line with the
\nconstitution, March 9, 1998, I could not help feeling even more
\nsorry for the millions of Indonesian whose welfare, health and
\neven life are at stake through the games the government thinks it
\ncan play with the IMF by constantly bypassing or torpedoing the
\nagreed upon implementation measures.<\/p>\n
The latest evasion package, however, by taking the
\nConstitution, which was drawn in 1945, and to mention that IMF
\nmeasures that were agreed upon in 1998 and signed by nobody less
\nthan the President himself, who for me appears to be already
\ndisplaying ambivalence, especially when the argument states that
\n\"Indonesia's economy shall be based on family principles.\" I
\nwonder why the IMF package was signed in the first place
\nsupposing the contents of the Constitution were known at that
\ntime as well.<\/p>\n
I also wonder whether the Indonesian government is engaged in
\na kind of high-stake poker game by daring the IMF and all other
\nnations which were initially prepared to come to its aid and to
\noffer advice to let the fourth-largest nation in the world go
\ndown the drain without further financial help, which it certainly
\nwould.<\/p>\n
The price for this, however, will be paid by the people who
\nhave no way or means to participate in this \"game\".<\/p>\n
