Hanbo's bankruptcy

Hanbo's bankruptcy

From Merdeka

It seems that Kim junior (Kim Hyun-chul) has forgotten that his beloved father, South Korean President Kim Young-sam, is a public figure. A state leader is the property of the people, he becomes a model of the public from the moment he is sworn in as president.

President Kim Young-sam lived in accordance with his position, he rightfully mirrors the status of a public figure, he will always be at the center of public attention and in the delicate hands of the law.

It has to be admitted in all honesty that the Hanbo incident disclosed how deep corruption and political intrigue is rooted in the people.

Seen at a cursory glance, the origin of the Hanbo conglomerate insolvency scandal (Merdeka, Feb. 26, 1997) is related to various aspects, such as a poor banking system, which appears to be universal. This further implies that the function of statesmanship is not on par with a strict subsystem control, attracted and caught in various interests of a personal nature, lineage, including supportive politically related groups.

Historical experience in many countries has proven that "historical justice between generations" tends to feature a cruel trend that is totally without mercy; this too seems to be universal.

The real reason is that the rank of a public figure reflects the toil of the majority, without thorough consideration for the prevailing ruling system.

It is hoped that the bitter pill the South Korean nation had to swallow might be a lesson to Indonesia, so that this country could implement order in its state political system as it enters the 21st century.
