Tasikmalaya riot<\/p>\n
From Suara Karya<\/p>\n
The recent Tasikmalaya riot has cause great concern. A small
\nmatter which should have been settled amicably turned into a
\ntragedy that inflicted huge material losses.<\/p>\n
Imagine, a number of shops and factories were damaged, leaving
\nhundreds of workers laid off. These workers are ordinary people
\nwho need their jobs to live. Who is held responsible for the
\nincident? The angry masses, or the police?<\/p>\n
I have a nagging question. How could such a large group of
\npeople come together within such a short period of time and move
\nto wreck everything in their way? Such a thing would not have
\nhappened if there had been no one to organize the action. The mob
\nmust have consisted of people who had no jobs because it would be
\nextremely difficult to make working people, thousands in number,
\nto come together within minutes and start to damage public
\nproperties.<\/p>\n
The Constitution guarantees the right of employment for every
\ncitizen. I wonder whether this is the case in reality. I am sure
\nthat if every citizen had been employed, such incidents as the
\nJuly 27, Situbondo, and Tasikmalaya riots would not have taken
\nplace.<\/p>\n
