VP or family planning?

VP or family planning?

From Kompas

While the economic situation has yet to return to normal, there are still government officials who make the public nervous with their statements.

Our Vice President, Hamzah Haz, said that family planning would not make anybody smart or rich.

If everybody agreed with the Vice President, then countries wouldn't send delegates to study how family planning has been implemented in Indonesia. It must also be remembered that in 1988, the United Nations gave Indonesia a citation for its success with family planning.

If the family planning drive in Indonesia fails, how large will the Indonesian population become? Family planning seeks to limit population growth so that the quality of life can be improved.

If the Vice President's suggestion is followed, what kinds of jobs would be suitable for some 57,000 family planning field workers? Failing to find new jobs, they could easily become criminals. But please don't blame them. The question is whether or not the police are ready to face an increased crime rate. Hopefully, none of this will come to pass.
