We need to help

We need to help
each other

From Rakyat Merdeka

The country's development will not run smoothly if there is no
unity and unity can only be established if citizens are willing
to help each other.

Therefore, all members of society should always avoid bad
behavior and promote good deeds. The ideal of mutual help in this
country has now lost much of its significance. For instance,
kampung residents now seem to prefer to hire a number of people
to keep guard of their neighborhood rather than share the burden
among themselves.

What about national development? The New Order Cabinets had
emphasized physical development and did very little for the moral
development of the people. No wonder that under such
circumstances corruption was rife.

Megawati's administration with her mutual-help Cabinet is
hoping to bring new spirit in order to materialize national
aspirations. The mutual-help spirit should start in the family
and the same ideal should also be translated into all aspects of
life, including the Cabinet's agendas.
