Cleanse the bureaucracy
Cleanse the bureaucracy
From Warta Kota
Those of us living in Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang and Bekasi
(Jabotabek) are not only good tax payers but have also rendered
some of our human rights to the state.
We have long since lost our domestic security, the
establishment of which is the responsibility of the state and the
security forces. Moreover, we have encountered difficulties
because of the worsening economy triggered by the lengthy
multidimensional crisis.
Now, our hope for any improvement has evaporated due to the
hypocrisy of the political elite, especially those who are
thirsty for power. At present our condition is the worst among
Southeast Asian countries.
Therefore I appeal to the hypocritical elite to stop their
conduct, which is not only shameful but has also caused
bankruptcy in the state.
Attention to power holders! The people do not want to be
offered lofty ideas such as free resident identity cards, free
high school graduate examinations and other free nonsense,
because, in fact, they can't be realized.
There is always a trick used by those civil servants which
allows corruption, collusion and manipulation.
We are all aware that the bureaucracy's mentality is still
stained by the impact of "brainwashing" developed by the New
Order. The people's wish is only one: Cleanse the bureaucracy
from any corrupt ideas before the people get angry.
