More wisdom needed

From Jayakarta

I am greatly concerned over the recent riots that took place
in Tasikmalaya. The tragedy came as a shock when the Situbondo
disturbance was still fresh in our minds. Obviously, we do not
wish a similar tragedy to befall Jakarta and ardently hope that
there will be no recurrence of such catastrophes elsewhere.

Let's all practice self-restraint in order to maintain
stability. Each and everyone of us needs to strengthen our faith.

Jakartans should make a special effort not to fall into the
trap of sensitive issues which tend to damage harmonious human
relationships. Both the Situbondo and Tasikmalaya tragedies
should make us wiser in upholding human values.
