What are trained people?

Mon, 21 Dec 1998

From Merdeka

The (government's) plan to establish (a militia of) "trained civilians" (rakyat terlatih, ratih) is extremely confusing. Indonesia already has the Armed Forces, including the Police. Do we also need this militia? If need be, the number of police personnel can be increased, or a clearer, new institution could be formed.

We must be cautious regarding various new plans. If these plans have already taken shape, it will be difficult to revoke them.
