Military candidates questioned

From Koran Tempo

Wiranto's statement that the real struggle is outside the Golkar Party convention rather than inside the organization, has come into reality with his victory as Golkar's presidential nominee.

However, the public should be alert because military figures are striving to become candidates for top executive positions. Wiranto is a former aide of ex-president Soeharto so that he once enjoyed various New Order benefits.

In this way, if Wiranto emerges as president, he will not have the courage to unveil corruption cases involving Soeharto and his cronies because he was a former subordinate officer.

Therefore, I would like to appeal that all fellow citizens who are still obsessed by the elimination of corruption should take care to avoid mistakes in electing our next president.
