Mega must act

Mega must act for total reform

From Rakyat Merdeka

For the sake of the country and the nation, President Megawati Soekarnoputri must make a clean break with the New Order forces and carry out a total reform agenda.

If she unites herself with the forces of the New Order, our country will go through a protracted disaster and she will continuously be criticized by the ordinary people.

Therefore, she must unite with Sukarno's big family and the ordinary people to straighten out history and proceed with the total reform. We must all work hard to establish a just and prosperous society true to the aspirations of the Aug. 17, 1945, revolution.

If the President fulfills the aspirations of the revolution, she need not feel any fear or hesitation. The common people will be united to carry out her command to eradicate collusion, corruption and nepotism. Assets seized from those involved in corruption, collusion and nepotism will be used for the benefit of the common people and for the development of the country.

In this way, the legacy of Megawati and Sukarno's big family will never be forgotten. And the dignity of Bung Karno, as one of the proclaimers of the independence of Indonesia, will always be held in glory.
