They must achieve a certain score before they can be<br>\nrecruited and\/or promoted, or in the case of students, before<br>\nthey are admitted to educational institutions. It is useless<br>\nto criticize the violators without trying to take some concrete<br>\naction.<\/p>\n<p>CHAIRIL ANWAR KOROMPOT<\/p>\n<p>Makassar, South Sulawesi<\/p>",
