New Order and
New Order and
communist issue
From Rakyat Merdeka
The recent excessive campaign against communism is merely to
cover up today's real thorny issues, such as the numerous and
various corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN) cases. This kind
of campaign reminds one of the modus operandi favored by the
previous New Order regime, which always suspected every anti-
establishment movement of communist leanings. Surely they must be
fully aware that even in its country of origin communism is long
dead and gone.
The criterion to be used for these people with a New Order
mentality is their actions, and never their ear-pleasing
rhetoric.
I suggest that we should be extra cautious about the latent
dangers of the New Order style as can be proved by the current
impotent justice system and the country's standstill or, to be
more accurate, downward-spiraling economy.
Outwardly they wear the badge "For the people", but their real
motto at heart is "For myself".
