Crisis and confidence

Crisis and confidence

From Bisnis Indonesia

We appreciate the step taken by the President and his ministers to contribute their basic salaries for one year to help those who have been laid off from work in the wake of the economic crisis.

The problem is whether such contributions will be sufficient to cope with the crisis, which has affected the majority of the people.

One should realize that a position entrusted to one must not be interpreted as a fortune to benefit oneself and one's family or group.

The nation's leaders should consistently uphold justice, law certainty and honesty and do away with corruption and nepotism. It is true that the storm will eventually pass, but how to deal with the damage caused by the storm should be the focus of our attention.
