Winner of the general election

Winner of the general election

From Rakyat Merdeka

The current political condition troubles my conscience. Emerging victorious in the general election the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) is now exposed to frequent annoyances. The matter of gender, the axis force and the impediment of its efforts to dismantle the Bank Bali scandal, known as Baligate, and the rumor of a special session of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR).

Many people are amazed at the behavior of Eky Syachrudin, a legislator from the Golkar faction, who always comes to the defense of truth in a spirited way. Suddenly he emerged with a counter-rumor of Baligate, namely Lippogate (Bank Lippo scandal). Eki seems to want to create the impression that Lippogate is as serious as Baligate.

I can only hope that the genuine representatives of the people will always use their conscience in defending the interests of the people so that Indonesia becomes united, safe, peaceful and prosperous again for the big people (whose behavior is right) and the little people (who are never afraid to defend the truth).
