Join hands to end the crisis!

Riots, starving children, students dropping out from schools because parents cannot afford to pay the fees, people losing their jobs, women turning to prostitution to make a living, murders, burglaries and other crimes are no extraordinary phenomena. But we would never expect such a horrible situation could happen in our beloved country.

If you go to the suburbs of Jakarta, you may be amazed to see how these people are surviving. At the same time, tears will roll down your cheeks. They even find it hard to buy their basic needs, like oil etc. Most of them just buy small amounts of oil, if any at all.

The campaign Aku cinta rupiah (I love the rupiah) should not be directed to the common people but it should be implemented by all layers of society, including the rich. All the people should join hands to help the country get out of the crisis.
