Stability and progress<\/p>\n
In a speech during the opening of the national conference of
\nPepabri -- the Indonesian Veterans Association -- President
\nSoeharto stressed the importance of stability and security and
\nasked that veterans and members of the Armed Forces continue to
\nguard the national stability in general, the social security and
\norder in particular.<\/p>\n
It is indeed paradoxical that it is precisely due to the
\ndevelopment and the change that has taken place -- that it is due
\nto the tremendous dynamism that is at present pervading every
\naspect of life, that an awareness of the need for stability, for
\nsecurity and for the prevalence of a sense of assurance is
\nessential, more than ever before.<\/p>\n
However, the objective which we must all strive to achieve is
\nthe maintenance of a stability and security of an increasingly
\nsolid quality, that is founded more and more on insight and
\nresponsibility and less and less on fear of punishment and
\nforceful coercion.<\/p>\n
The roots, the pillars and the infrastructure of the stability
\nthat comes in the wake of economic development must be made to
\ngrow deeper, stronger and more rooted among the people. The
\npeople's responsibility and participation must become wider and
\nmore active.<\/p>\n
At a certain point of development economic deregulation will
\nnot be optimally functional unless it is accompanied by political
\nderegulation. The form of such political deregulation should be
\nfirst of all a shift in the role of the government bureaucracy
\nfrom direct intervention to policy formulation and general
\ncontrol.<\/p>\n
