Close New Order history book

From Rakyat Merdeka

We all hope for the birth of a new Indonesia that is just and
democratic and capable of bringing prosperity to the people. Even
after the fall of the New Order leadership, Indonesia's portrait
has not changed very much.

Based on these facts, it can be concluded that as long as the
New Order chain is not broken, a new Indonesia will not emerge.
To change a system and a culture that have taken root in this
country, the government must be replaced by figures who do not
originate from the New Order, whether they be bureaucrats or
cronies. Thus, in order to improve the system, protecting the
mistakes of the New Order must not be considered.

We know that the accumulation of mistakes during the New Order
regime caused the dire condition of this country. As long as the
mistakes are covered up, there will always be other mistakes to
cover them, so there will be no end to mistakes.

I would like to remind the people's representatives to elect a
leader who comes from outside the New Order bureaucratic circle
in order that a new Indonesia will be born. If we defend the
mistakes, new mistakes will occur. So, let us close the history
books of the New Order and start a truly new agenda.
