Are we really in reform order?

Do you think we are in reform order? I don't think so. Let's take our current Cabinet. Let's look at the government's policies, the program for the have-nots. These are still the same as ever.

Let's see whether the top government officer has a sense of crisis. I don't think so. We are standing still!

Please, don't get me wrong. I am not antigovernment. I have no mission of opposition but I am really concerned about this country. Why are we unable to solve our own problems? What about Thailand, South Korea? Why were they able to solve theirs? Why could they cope with the crisis? I think the key is clean and legitimate government. a new government which is free from the shadow of the New Order.
