Discrepancy in development

Discrepancy in development

The difference in the development in western Indonesia and
eastern Indonesia is growing. This can be seen from all aspects
of development such as education, health, transportation, social
welfare and many other areas.

In terms of the development in eastern Indonesia especially in
East Nusatenggara (NTT), the difference has been exacerbated by
bad governance in the region as reported in the media ( Pos
Kupang), with corruption cases prevailing practically in all
regencies.

Does this reflect our culture or "the greedy mice" who pretend
to be good and honest people? On the other hand, ordinary people
who live in the villages are not corrupt and do not steal
government money, yet they keep supporting the government.

However, when they suffer, not many people who benefit from
the goodness of these people help them. The central government
raises fuel prices for the sake of their political interests and
yet are very slow to respond to the threat of starvation in most
areas in NTT.

It is an irony that there is a great amount of money allocated
for the poor from our national budget but in fact the poor
continue to suffer.

Please be honest with the common people because they do not
understand the ABC of politics and power.
