Setting the priorities<\/p>\n
A host of problems are before us, ranging from the emergence
\nof separatist sentiments in a number of regions, the laggardness
\nof the handling of corruption cases and the lack of security to
\nthe slowness in bank restructuring efforts and the continuing
\ndrop in the rupiah's value despite reasonably favorable economic
\nfundamentals.<\/p>\n
It is easy to add more problems to the list, but setting the
\npriorities for their solution is more difficult because all the
\nvarious groups involved are promoting their own interests.
\nClearness of thought is needed as well as willingness on the part
\nof everyone to put together a list of priorities that can be
\nimplemented. The guiding principle is clear: the interests of the
\npeople at large must come first and any other interests second.<\/p>\n
What all the various parties in the current political contest
\nmust realize is that concessions made by any party do not
\nnecessarily have to mean another's gain. On the other hand, if it
\nis the general interest that is neglected, the resulting unrest
\ncould be damaging to all the players involved.<\/p>\n
