Join hands to end the crisis!

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.
