The State of Living Dangerous
Indeed, Indonesia’s Economic Growth remains excellent, above-average 6%. And it was claimed by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as his achievements in the economic program development. But we note that since Bung Karno, the first President of Indonesia as well as Soeharto era, Abdurahman Wahid to Megawati, our economy grew more than 6% constantly per anum. So then we should question, justify that growth is the product of government policy? Our economist Faisal Basri once said that our growth, without any government intervention at all. He said the Indonesia economic miracle. But I think this is “natural growth”.
Since Jokowi has been taking the power, at first administration felt to achieve 7% instead of the highest figure of only 5.4%. We noted also even minus 3.5% growth per anum. And this year’s target, Jokowi set up to 5.2%. But the doubt behind the achievement is how pandemic covid19 can be maintained.
So 6% growth is a rare figure while we need more than 7% growth to open more job opportunities needed.
Then the question relating to the title of this topic is as follows:
1. Can you believe the President’s body?
2. Can you believe the political institutions?
3. Can you believe the bureaucrats?
4. Can you believe the law enforcement Bodies?
When it’s all said “no”, then this country remains in danger and chaos.
So, who should make corrections to all this? Are those who have no interest with the powers, which have the conscience to Indonesia future more advanced, which have a vision of the nation’s future?
