No simple crime<\/p>\n
Although it is quite possible that a violation of technical
\nbanking procedures was involved in the Bank Bali scandal, the
\nauthorities should not limit their investigation merely to the
\ncriminal aspects of the case, thereby creating the impression
\nthat the fault lies with the bank's previous management under
\nRudy Ramli only. If the main focus of the investigation is
\nrestricted to such criminal technical violations only, the
\npublic's trust in our banking system will always be absent.<\/p>\n
Banks are institutions which must rely on trust. They must be
\nable to maintain public credibility and assure clients that their
\nmoney will always be safely kept. But if they are taken advantage
\nof by people with political motives, the public's trust in our
\nnational banking system will increasingly erode.<\/p>\n
Banks are also engines of development so that their existence
\nmust be protected. The Bank Bali scandal must be satisfactorily
\nresolved, the main masterminds behind it must be found and an
\nopen trial must be held. If this can be done, the prestige of
\nPresident B.J. Habibie's administration will be restored in the
\neyes of our own people and financial institutions around the
\nworld.<\/p>\n
