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.
