Young people and politics<\/p>\n
From Merdeka<\/p>\n
It is very strange if Ismail Hasan Metareum of the United
\nDevelopment Party (PPP) says that Sri Bintang Pamungkas'
\nrejection against the renomination of Soeharto as a presidential
\ncandidate is regarded as a mistake.<\/p>\n
Indeed, the nation needs this honesty and courage, as
\ndemonstrated by Sri Bintang, if it is to be called a great nation
\nand be able to honor the principle of freedom of expression.<\/p>\n
A social figure such as Sri Bintang is actually an idol of the
\nyounger generation. Such bravery and true perception, of the
\nprinciple of democracy, are essential for a political figure even
\nat the cost of position, facility and income. I feel pessimistic
\nat having PPP still play an attractive role in the political
\narena without ideal figures.<\/p>\n
Be assured that in due course we will realize that what is
\nperceived as wrong today will be accepted as fundamental truth in
\nthe future. Do not belittle the potential voice of the younger
\ngeneration because, after all, PPP is not a monopoly of the
\npeople of over 50.<\/p>\n
