Country's illness not cured yet

Country's illness not cured yet

Unfortunately President Abdurrahman Wahid has, up to now, not
brought any good fortune to the nation and country even though he
possesses a strong legitimacy to rule this country.

The political elite are at odds with each other and most of
the time are only thinking of their own interests. Nonetheless,
the President is continuing to say controversial things which
confuse many people while doing nothing significant to cure the
country's illnesses.

"Supremacy of law" is merely lip service while the problems of
corruption, collusion and nepotism, along with violence and
social unrest remain unresolved. Who is to blame for all these
things? And who really benefits from this situation?
