Don't forget common people

Don't forget common people

From Bisnis Indonesia

I congratulate Megawati Soekarnoputri on her appointment as the country's president and Hamzah Haz as the vice president.

As one of those who voted for the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) in the last election, I would like to remind Megawati about the promises made during the election campaign regarding the plight of the wong cilik (the common people).

Up to now the members of PDI Perjuangan, both in the legislature as well as the executive, have not given proper care and attention to improving the common people's lot.

Hopefully, with Megawati as president, there will be ample opportunities for the creating of policies and regulations which favor the common people.
