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.
