As we have already known that next year 2009, the general election, a party of democracy, will be held to obtain the Indonesian leaders either for the presidency or the legislatives.
Many prospective candidates are now preparing for this event by spreading propaganda to their constituents in their election area, especially for the legislatives. They are advertising their selves through many kinds of media : television, newspaper, blog, websites and radio. The main objective of this effort is to open the public awarness and vision about the candidate’s capability, prospectiveness, planning if elected, etc. In a simple word, they want to say : “Choose me !! Choose me since I will advance your life, your degree, your career, etc. I will.. I will.. I will bla bla bla if elected”.
However, in the real situation, many Indonesian people are not interested in those promises. They consider that what the candidates said is only a lie. There will be no facts could be realized if they are successful in the election. Consequently, public are deciding to not participated in the general election.
But the problem may appear is how come our country “wakes up” without the leaders? And the answer would be : how come we trust them with their thousands promises? This is the complex problem that should be solved in the near future.
I hope that somedays, there will be many leaders who are care to the Indonesian people problem without any inside purposes. To be a leader is hard. It needs many experiences and ofcourse time : to learn, to listen and to understand.

Yes, that is right Mr. Chairul. Even worst, the general election is predicted will be won by people who won't use their right to vote. Or it is known well as "Golput". The general election is coming closer, all parties are making up their face to influence the audience to watching, seeing and finally like what each party expectation, the audience will say "your performance is really wonderful".
Huge expenses are spent for advertising especially on TV. Since the last general election, we have not seen on tv even only one party, showed their face. But why, when upcoming general election in 2009 the television is colored by many parties. Quote
A party is a place for those people who have audacity to lead this country. Like or dislike our country "depends on" them. But, we such lack of leadership. In my point of view, we have a lot of great people in Indonesia to run the agenda of this country. But, we lack of morality and honesty. They promise many things on their campaign. When they are elected the corruption tempts them. Because of corruption our beloved country is bankrupt. The corruption is already ingrained.
We just can hope, for the next general election can create the leaders who have good morality and keep honesty in their mind. And prove what they have said and promised. (part 2 of 2) Quote
Yes I do agree with you. SO, what is your position facing this general election. Will you be one of Golput's soldier?
If we think they just offer lies, Golput can be considered. We should be smart on this. Quote
At least as an intellectual agent, we must make the society aware what the politicians will fight for them and how to control their promises in order to be real. Quote
