        "summary": "Vice President's ability For more than 30 years we were in the New Order regime. The position for president at that time had huge authority. There was almost absolute power in the president's hands. The position of vice president did not mean more than being a substitute for the president if he became incapable of carrying out his tasks. Now we are in the reform era. We want to rebuild our country for the better. We not only need a good president but also a good vice president.",

There was<br>\nalmost absolute power in the president&apos;s hands. The position of<br>\nvice president did not mean more than being a substitute for the<br>\npresident if he became incapable of carrying out his tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Now we are in the reform era. We want to rebuild our country<br>\nfor the better. We not only need a good president but also a good<br>\nvice president. Both must have a good knowledge of leadership so<br>\nthat they can work harmoniously together.<\/p>\n<p>The current President has shown his capacity as such and has<br>\naccomplished his job. We are still wondering about the Vice<br>\nPresident. What has she done? Frankly, I doubt her capabilities.<br>\nIn this era of reform we do not want our Vice President to be<br>\nlike the New Order&apos;s vice presidents, who contributed nothing to<br>\nthe country.<\/p>\n<p>A vice president should not merely be committed to attending<br>\nceremonial events. The country cannot afford this kind of vice<br>\npresident. Both the president and vice president should share the<br>\nresponsibilities in handling the nation&apos;s problems, such as the<br>\nethnic conflict in Maluku, violence in Irian Jaya, the Aceh issue<br>\nand so on.<\/p>\n<p>MUHAMMAD RUSDI<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
