Why does DPR keep mum?

Why does DPR keep mum?

From Media Indonesia

The sharp increase in fuel prices is palpably suffocating the
people. Public minibuses, for example, from Depok to Bojonggede
have gone on strike for the past three days. The people who
usually use their services at the Citayam and Bojonggede stations
have been compelled to take more expensive ojek (motorcycle
taxis) or to walk considerable distances to reach their
destinations.

This may be a small problem arising from the fuel price
increase. However, we now see the joining of students and people
to voice their great concern. "Are these voices being heard by
the members of the House of Representatives (DPR)?" asked one of
the demonstrators in front of the MPR-DPR building. "What about
their promises during the election campaign?"

Those promises sounded genuine when the campaigners still
needed support. But once settled in their comfortable seats, the
legislators seem reluctant to get up. They may have forgotten
that a promise is a debt and a debt must be paid.

"People's representatives! Wake up! The sun is high in the
sky. Do not waste your day until sunset. Good deeds and death do
not know seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years. Show
your responsibility now before you face responsibility in your
existence beyond earthy life."
