Bintang deserves to be president

Bintang deserves to be president

From Rakyat Merdeka

Amien Rais honestly said the other day that the present and future of Indonesia does not rest on the four top national leaders. There are many younger figures who are energetic and capable of becoming national leaders. Among the younger figures, only Sri-Bintang Pamoengkas has openly expressed his desire to become president (an interview with Rakyat Merdeka, Dec. 12, 2000)

Sri Bintang Pamoengkas meets the requirements of a president. He is young, healthy, intelligent, and has a strong educational background. He is also tough, firm, energetic and is not afraid of threats or punishments if he has to fight for the truth and eliminate evil forces. When no one had the courage to speak up, express one's ideas or oppose the authoritarian regime of Soeharto, Sri Bintang Pamoengkas came forward and opposed the regime without thinking of his own safety.

Although he has only a limited number of followers, he has been seriously preparing himself for the presidency. May God bless him with success in his efforts because we are facing a crisis of trust in our national leaders. We need a president who is trustworthy and capable of bringing changes that are beneficial to all citizens.
