Marketing promises

From Media Indonesia

During the campaign for the July 5 presidential election, most
candidates have been very keen to be seen visiting traditional
markets. By doing so, they are able to talk with vendors and
shoppers in the hope of winning public support.

However, when they get into power, they will probably forget
the promises they made as part of their manifestos.

While they now pledge to protect and to work in the interests
of the ordinary people, after being elected they will likely
forget about the hopes of the public and adopt policies that do
nothing to help the weaker groups in society.

Therefore, I sincerely hope that this presidential election
will produce national leaders who have the courage to fight evil
and defend virtue, while keeping the promises they have made.
