Politicians should create peace

Politicians should create peace

From Forum Keadilan

Supporting or rejecting certain decisions or policies adopted by the government, institutions or parties is normal in an atmosphere of democracy. The same is true in the political life of Indonesia today.

In recent months we have witnessed the emergence of various forums voicing their disappointment at the government's performance and refusing to support government policies.

Meanwhile, the ordinary people struggling for daily survival are fed up with all the talk of those above who act in the name of the general public. We often wonder if they really convey public aspirations or have some other purposes. Even people's representatives paid by the public to serve the interests of society sometimes fail in their mission.

Therefore, as citizens we only hope that all the leaders at different levels can create an air of peace and tranquility to allow us all to work properly and enjoy every moment of life in this country. They should give up personal, group and even party interests for the sake of the nation and state as well as future generations.
