Falling into trap of disintegration
Falling into trap of disintegration
From Warta Kota
As one of many indigenous Betawi flood victims involved in the
Advocacy for the 2002 Jakarta Flood Victims, I wish to express my
deep concern over attacks, acts of intimidation and violent
threats using sharp weapons by a group of people claiming to be
Betawi.
My concern is related to the following: First, the attacks by
these purported Betawi people against fellow Betawi people has
only created a bad image of life in Jakarta.
Second, the incident, when looked at closely, shows that some
people continue to nurture a narrow-minded, barbaric spirit in
order to realize their political motives.
In the end, this will only lead to disintegration.
