Do not harm public interest

Do not harm public interest

From Suara Karya

Most citizens of Indonesia are now well aware of their role in
the general elections of 2004. It is no longer easy to lure the
floating masses by offering money and cheap entertainment or
hiring popular stars as campaigners, because urban and rural
people have become more rational.

As a branch of society affiliated with the Consortium for
Public Information Transparency (KUTIP), we wish to appeal that:
* First, moves causing harm to public interests should be ended.
Legislators should pay greater attention to public welfare
instead of their own ends.
* Second, executive officials should no longer increase the
public burden by seeking unnecessary debts, and should avoid the
sale of state assets beyond legal limits.
* Third, the judicial institution should be proactively engaged
in law enforcement, instead of standing aloof like an ivory tower
packed with practices of corruption, collusion and nepotism.
