Don't care philosophy
Don't care philosophy
The new government seems to have adopted a "don't care"
philosophy. Recently a headline in The Jakarta Post read I don't
care about my reputation, which was supposed to be the answer of
the President to a certain complaint.
On Feb. 18, according to your newspaper, a minister responded
"I dont care" to a survey by an international organization that
ranked the tax and customs offices as the most corrupt
institutions in this country. Governor Sutiyoso even remarked
that this "makes sense".
I have my doubts as to whether Indonesia can solve its
problems with this kind of approach to people's concerns.
