Who lacks discipline?
Who lacks discipline?
From Jayakarta
Recruits to the National Discipline Movement are often seen in front of Indonesian Christian University (UKI) on Jalan Sutoyo in East Jakarta, a site of frequent traffic congestion.
They wear green vests with the words Discipline Enforcer on the back. While they may supervise discipline on the streets, they do not have the authority to check on driver and vehicle documents. One day I saw a motorist refuse to show his documents to an enforcer, who then shouted harshly: "Don't tell me what I can and what I cannot do. This is an area of the national discipline movement. I don't care whether you like it or not."
I was appalled by his lack of courtesy and resented his attitude as a so-called "discipline" enforcer.
