When will these conflicts end?
When will these conflicts end?
From Rakyat Merdeka
I am writing to tell the world how worried I am about the poor, uncertain condition of my country Indonesia at the moment. Indonesia feels ashamed of having done so little work to overcome its current serious crises. Who is to blame for this condition?
Meanwhile, the growing number of slanders among the political elite could result in societal conflict as we have never seen before. And that could, in turn, lead to national disintegration.
When will these conflicts end? They will, hopefully, after justice, honesty and truth have spread across Indonesia, protecting and educating children of the nation to conduct their right to defend the country. This means being wise, prudent and just, promoting democratic discourse. This doesn't mean collusion, corruption and nepotism (KKN) but a truth and justice that does not crave money (see Roesland Abdulgani's remarks in Rakyat Merdeka, March 21, 2001), does not fight over food, is not skilled in seductively tricking people and allowing them to fall into despair.
