Power or responsibility

Power or responsibility

From Suara Karya

It is regrettable that several members of Megawati Soekarnoputri's Cabinet have tendered their resignations because they have decided to join the presidential race either as presidential or vice presidential candidates.

Although these resignations are actually in compliance with the prevailing laws, it is possible that they could be construed as disloyalty or a lack of dedication to the state.

It is obvious that these former ministers are faced with a difficult choice: To attain more power or to remain at their posts as Cabinet members.

Of course, it all depends on one's own conscience.
