Many want the dual function abolished or reduced to an<br>\nextent that the nation should not be exposed to external threats.<\/p>\n<p>The Marsinah and Udin cases and the July 27 incident would not<br>\nhave happened if ABRI had not interfered deeply in social and<br>\npolitical problems.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it is the era of reform in which we are supposed to build<br>\na civil society, a democratic government; where there will be no<br>\ngovernment monopoly of truth, where transparency is the people's<br>\nconcern, where people respect each other's views and opinions.<br>\nThere should no longer be any effort, by any person or group, to<br>\ncover up or manipulate data and conceal the truth. It is high<br>\ntime the people uprooted the decades-long rotten system<br>\nimplemented by the New Order regime. I hope President Habibie<br>\nfeels that he has \"nothing to lose\" and has the courage to make a<br>\n\"big bang\" (to borrow Amien Rais' words) to eliminate the age-old<br>\npractices of corruption, collusion and nepotism.<\/p>\n<p>H.W.
