Sri Bintang still star of PPP

Sri Bintang still star of PPP

From Pikiran Rakyat

I was confused when I heard about the recalling of Sri Bintang
Pamungkas from his position as a member of the United Development
Party (PPP) in the House of Representatives. Why is it considered
improper to question Pancasila while many officials who actually
violate it are left unpunished?

Many legislators don't voice the people's aspirations, don't
defend the people, aren't critical, aren't courageous enough to
speak the truth, and in many cases only say "yes". Isn't this
contradictory to the values of Pancasila?

Recalling a member from the House of Representatives is not
educative, and will become a bad precedent for the United
Development Party, in particular, and for social-political
organizations in general.

Sri Bintang is the ideal figure for the 1997 elections as he
can mobilize the young generation. He is also very popular among
university students because of his broad political insight, which
is in harmony with the dynamism of development. He is, indeed,
still the star of the PPP.
