Duty and responsibility

Duty and responsibility

From Merdeka

Nearly 50 percent of the Indonesian population have seen in the printed media or on television that you have taken an oath of office stating, "will neither receive nor give anything in any form that is suspicious or is liable to suspicion ..."

If you have received something which is liable to suspicion and related to your duty and responsibility, and to which only God is witness, it is possible or certain that God has forgiven you for violating your pledge.

However, what you have received from Jamsostek (the state- owned social security company) on instruction/request, is known by the whole population via the media. The religious Indonesian nation may have forgiven you before you make an apology, but morality and ethics oblige you to apologize to the people who have elected and entrusted you as representatives at the House of Representatives. Show the greatness of your soul and the spirit of your sacrifice.

The heroes of the revolution who have already given an example of sacrifice will be grateful that the generations after them have inherited their spirit of sacrifice.
