Security lacking in Indonesia

Security lacking in Indonesia

From Bisnis Indonesia

Another bomb blast at a public venue. It seems that there is no place in this country that is free from terrorist attacks. Only two places have yet to be hit by a bomb blast: The State Palace and the Indonesian Military headquarters in Cilangkap.

Bomb blasts have hit a variety of places: The building of the People's Consultative Assembly/House of Representatives, the area behind the United Nations building, part of the headquarters of the Indonesian police, mosques, churches, Soekarno-Hatta international airport and even the Jakarta Stock Exchange.

Although these bomb blasts differ in intensity, their effect is the same: A terror for all, rich and poor.

So, why should people pay taxes and other levies if they cannot feel secure, something which, according to our constitution, is the right of every Indonesian?
