Reform for the people

Reform for the people

From Merdeka

I would like to give my opinion on Indonesia's economic and political development during these times of uncertainty, and on the people taking advantage of the reform movement.

We the little people sympathize with the change of the country's leadership, provided it will settle quickly the economic problems which are a heavy burden on the people. The price of staple foodstuffs should return to normal soon.

Students and community members should guard against people acting in the name of the people and justice but with personal ambitions. On the political stage, they should not just say: hold a special session of the People's Consultative Assembly, eradicate corruption, collusion and nepotism and organize quickly a general election (so they can be elected). Instead, they should be shouting the people's expectation: Lower the prices!.

We the little people need food, work and tranquility. Their ambition and differences should be channeled to the House of Representatives and the People's Consultative Assembly. They should not just speak loudly in front of the masses and exert a bad influence on them.

It is not necessary for them to say bad things to the media abroad because whatever Indonesia is, it is our country, that we must support together. Otherwise, our people will always be squeezed and our economy will continue to slide, so that the little people will, once again, be the victim because of a few dissatisfied individuals.

Perhaps, the political experts who are never satisfied do not feel the difficulty in earning a bowl of rice like us because they can get funds from abroad. We the little people can only work and earn money if the country is safe and peaceful.
