New Order and communist issue

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".
