April 1, 1994, has a special meaning. The date marks the first
day of the Sixth Five Year Development Plan, and also the first
day of the Second Long-Term Development Plan for the next 25
years.
What has the 1945 generation bequeathed to the succeeding
generation?
Metaphorically speaking, the '45 Generation inherited an
Indonesian house from its predecessor, the shell of a building
that had yet to be improved, strengthened and enriched. In the
last 25 years much has been done and much has been achieved, but
much still has to be sorted out in the next long-term development
plan.
One of the most urgent things to be done is to raise the
standard of living of over 20 million people who are still living
under the poverty line.
