On opportunist representatives

On opportunist representatives

From Suara Karya

As a member of the public, I would like to remind all public
representatives of a Javanese saying that contains the term Aji
mumpung (opportunist).

It clearly forbids the abuse or misuse of power and advises
anyone holding an important post to benefit others, meaning the
public. Public representatives must also remember that the power
in their hands is in fact a sacred mandate, entrusted to them
through the election system.

If such opportunistic attitudes prevail among officials, then
the eradication of corruption, collusion and nepotism will be
impossible and it will be difficult for us to stand proud as a
respectable nation.

Wouldn't the honorable representatives like to be labeled true
reformists, at least then they would be seen to be better than
the previous regime?
