SMS reports inefficient

SMS reports inefficient

From Media Indonesia

The news that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has opened a
24-hour cellphone service for SMSs indicates his great attention
to the public interest and deserves praise.

However, this service seems excessive because the president
will be flooded by intricate reports that will interfere with
execution his job as President. Being informed of too many
details is not always efficient, let alone the lack of guarantee
for their truthfulness.

With due respect to the president, who is so concerned about
people's well being, I would like to suggest that the SMS
complaints from society be addressed to relevant ministers, who
should handle the matters.

In this way, the president will not be overwhelmed by
complicated particulars so as not to overlook major issues. The
ministers can handle specific cases for further reporting to the
chief executive.
