Empty words and next president

Empty words and next president

From Media Indonesia

The public is fed up with all the empty promises made by political parties, while in reality various social and economic problems remain.

Prices of basic necessities remain high, unemployment is rife and criminals remain at large. Meanwhile, people are tired of waiting for the emergence of a national leader with a high sense of responsibility and deep concern for people's welfare.

Therefore, the next president should be someone who is committed to the elimination of corruption, capable of creating job opportunities, strives for lower prices of basic needs and seeks to reduce the cost of education, which is so vital for future generations.

The fact that some legislative candidates were disqualified for submitting forged diplomas indicates outright deception. If this country is supposed to achieve prosperity, ordinary people must never be deceived and a government leader must be wise and disciplined in performing his or her duties.
