Political parties should donate

Political parties should donate

From Media Indonesia

In contrast to their promises during the last general
election, political parties are not doing much to help the
victims of the recent floods.

It is pathetic to hear them say that even coming to the
flooded locations and visiting the victims might be
misinterpreted as a political campaign.

If they are sincere in helping the poor, then they should be
afraid of no one, except God, who knows the real truth. Not
caring about the fate of the poor is regarded as a sin in any
religion.

I do not think the recipients would mind receiving donations
from political parties, because foremost on their mind is the
assistance and attention they urgently need.

Therefore, I urge political parties to stop making up reasons
and start donating, with or without political labels.
