Don't blame the people

Don't blame the people

From Republika

According to a newspaper report, the minister of public works said that the recent floods in Jakarta were attributable to a lack of discipline. Why should the people be blamed?

The minister should instead look into who gave permission to developers to build high-rise buildings in lowland and park areas, and why sea coast areas have been dredged only to benefit a handful of people.

We the people are the ones who suffer from the inconsiderate decisions made by the government. This they must realize.
