Reforms agenda<\/p>\n
I thank President Soeharto for showing his political will to
\nconduct political reform. What is required now is the courage to
\nmake choices of what is to be reformed, which would be given
\npriority.<\/p>\n
The House of Representatives will have to decide the choices
\nand set priorities based on inputs received from within the
\nHouse, the government and from society. The reforms should be
\ndone in the spirit of togetherness and in good faith, for the
\nbenefit of the nation, not for a certain group.<\/p>\n
In conducting the reforms the following points should be
\nstrongly considered:<\/p>\n
* Everybody must highly uphold honesty and trustfulness and
\ndiscipline.<\/p>\n
* Trickery, manipulation, corruption, collusion, nepotism and
\ncronyism must be uprooted.<\/p>\n
* People must be kept well-informed of the progress of reforms.<\/p>\n
* Law must be strictly upheld.<\/p>\n
* People's economic situation must be based on the family
\nprinciple which benefit the whole nation instead of the
\nprivileged few.<\/p>\n
* A Top-down process must be changed into a bottom-up process.<\/p>\n
* Good business ethics must control all business deals.<\/p>\n
To guarantee the success of the much-desired reforms,
\nPresident Soeharto himself will have to supervise the process of
\nreforms, and push it as and when necessary. It should be fully
\nunderstood that the reforms are meant to correct and straighten
\nout all mistakes and weaknesses we have been living with for the
\npast three decades. Only successful reforms will be able to
\nrestore the people's and international confidences.<\/p>\n
