Indonesia may just

Indonesia may just become history

From Rakyat Merdeka

I feel hurt to see that some big-wig corruptors remain legally untouched. They have committed wrong, abused their power for money, position and robbed the country of its wealth by using various cunning tricks.

It is their immoral conduct that has caused our country to fall into the abyss of debt. If this condition remains unsolved and is not correctly handled, it is likely that Indonesia will just become history.

In the face of such a reality, although I am not a law expert, I, for the sake of my deep love for the country, would like to call on President Megawati Soekarnoputri to implement her political policies sternly and courageously to uphold the supremacy of the law.

For the sake of social justice in the country, law enforcers should act fairly and heed the adage saying that only clean brooms sweep things clean.

Based on this saying, all delinquent judges, prosecutors and police personnel should be fired or pensioned off. Let them be replaced by those who resort to justice and truth as their only motivation in upholding the country's law, like our former general attorney, the late Baharuddin Lopa. Only then can our country gradually emerge from the multi-faceted crisis.
