Debate on national leadership

The recent debate on national leadership showed great weaknesses. Many of the opinions expressed were not even linked to the core substance, as was obvious from the comments of Juwono Sudarsono (from the National Resilience Institute) in the seminar, where many noticed his responses were filled with unreasonable reflections.

The critics came from all kinds of professions and showed a lack of concentration in reading, comprehension and even the ability to digest information from the media.

The many responses showed irrelevancies due to the critics' own "specific ideal" way of thinking.
