Rich and poor gap

Rich and poor gap

From Forum Keadilan

Our country's Golden Independence Anniversary is not just a
historical event to celebrate grandly, it also brings with it
some oddities. Take for instance, a flour miller who is in the
spotlight as a highly successful businessman. He is touted as
worthy of our respect and is enjoying protection from the
government.

The oddities don't stop there, but are further extended with
the informal meeting of top business executives in Jimbaran,
Bali. Here, according to reports, they have decided to establish
a functional team to hold discussions about how to narrow the
economic gap.

I remember a similar agreement, the Tapos Agreement, which
became a reference system for the progress of important
Indonesian businessmen.

Could the Jimbaran Declaration be the same as the Tapos
Agreement? It seems strange, but it is true.

Take a look at the players and the gist of the story. They are
just the same. The only difference is the stage.

Why wasn't the play processed through law or legislation?
