Where are we headed?

Where are we headed?

From Rakyat Merdeka

Corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN) in Indonesia must be completely eradicated on an integrated basis. Otherwise, this country will go bankrupt.

To eradicate KKN, the law must be enforced. As justice can be bought, the state needs to ensure that its people do not consider violating the law.

The main law violations occur in executive, legislative and judicial institutions, and as such it is unlikely that Indonesia will become a just and prosperous country in the near future.

Therefore, a situation must be created in which the public is convinced that the state has clear and definite national objectives. Then all state and private institutions could act to achieve these objectives.

At this point we may wonder where our state and private institutions are heading.

At this juncture, we could decide that two political parties are enough for Indonesia. One could deal with justice and the other with prosperity. Look at the United States, the champion of democracy and liberty. There are only two major parties there, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. A multitude of parties reflects a nation's confusion.

I hope to get a response from anybody concerned with the future of this nation.
