Megawati deserves presidency

Megawati deserves presidency

As Indonesian citizens we feel ashamed to have a president
like Abdurrahman "Gus Dur" Wahid who doesn't respect the law.

In addition, he will appoint a minister and then dismiss him
for reasons that are too far fetched to be true.

Perhaps this characteristic is derived from the behavior of
the Peoples' Consultative Assembly (MPR), which appointed Gus Dur
president of the Republic of Indonesia and will now seek his
resignation.

Why should the MPR apply political engineering (money
politics) by rejecting Megawati when the people wanted her to
become president, as demonstrated by her majority of votes (35
percent) in the 1999 election?

Does the failure of this reform government indicate a curse by
Allah for the sins of the MPR under Amien Rais' chairmanship?

Let Allah return His grace to Megawati in order to become
Indonesian president, who deserves her right to the 1999 to 2004
term of office.

Never underestimate Megawati again because doing so is an act
of belittling the Indonesian peoples' message and Allah's grace.
