Root out CPO plunderers

Root out CPO plunderers

After reading an article entitled Chain of the Crude Palm Oil Trade (CPO) in a Jakarta newspaper on Nov. 30 which described the highhandedness and wickedness of the CPO plunderers, I think there is no other way but for the police and military to immediately apply shock therapy and wage total war against them. If no action is taken the brutality of the plunderers will intensify.

For the CPO business, a crucial foreign exchange earner and employment provider, is very much needed in the present crisis.

We hope that the authorities will take immediate measures to eradicate the culprits, including dismantling the apparatus that backs up the plunderers.

If this problem cannot be overcome immediately along with other cases in Ambon, Aceh, Semanggi and Trisakti, to whom can we ask for protection?

We are impatient for urgent, strict and firm measures from the authorities to immediately root out the criminals behind the plunder of CPO.
