Function of DPR/MPR

Function of DPR/MPR

From Merdeka

Lately, I have been following the debates concerning the respective abilities of military and civilian figures to lead our country, the composition and hierarchy of the members of the House of Representatives (DPR) and the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), and the issue of national repentance.

I am very saddened that a learned national figure has called on the country to repent to God in the face of the many disasters that this country has faced recently. In my opinion, instead of national repentance, it would be better to collect funds for the SEA Games and for the alleviation of the suffering of our brethren who have been hit by forest fires and famine. This collection must, of course, be voluntary and not compulsory.

The actual composition of the DPR/MPR is not the issue. The important thing is that the members must use their position to channel the people's aspirations with a view to the free trade era soon to take place. Why? Because the role of the DPR/MPR is very decisive for the nation.

The importance of the House's function is to use its supervision, budget and initiative authority effectively in accordance with the people's aspirations.
