PKB must not be like Golkar

PKB must not be like Golkar

From Bisnis Indonesia

The 1999 general election was the first one I ever participated in. I was, back then, a golput, which means people who do not vote for any political party. But had my own view, namely that Functional Group (Golkar) should continue to exist.

I do not think those who dislike the Functional Group (Golkar) should rely on their muscle let alone or commit destructive acts like setting Golkar's offices and buildings on fire and the like. Rather they should use their brains. All they have to do is campaign: "Do not vote for Golkar in next general election, even if they give you money and clothes". I am sure Golkar will slowly but surely become an insignificant party.

However, we should also be watchful not to let the National Awakening Party (PKB) be like Golkar, namely defending its President all out, even being willing to die for him despite his being guilty.
