Support for Mega

Support for Mega

Knowing the decision of Basofi Sudirman, political patron for the province of East Java, I feel a sad need to write this letter. Envious and greedy people continuously try to hamper the Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI), especially its tough and firm but cool chairwoman, Megawati, in her management of the party's programs.

Frankly speaking, this situation actually earns the party more sympathy and support. I also hope it gives Mega more spirit to cope with any problems the party may face. Regarding the party's unsolved conflict, we should admire Mega for her adherence to the principle of maintaining Sutjipto as the legitimate leader of PDI's East Java chapter.

The only thing I would like to say is: Mega, never give up. Time will prove that you are a woman capable of managing the problems, particularly the development of political life in Indonesia. Please prove that you can unite and solve the problem as beautifully as your name Mega, which means cloud, indicates. Clouds make us feel fresh and tranquil when it is very hot. I hope the conflicts your party faces will never keep you from upholding justice and the concept of Pancasila democracy in our country.
