Round One Of Candidate Debate

Indonesian has begun the campaign for President this week; the first debate had given better opinion to choose who will be the next President of Indonesian. There are a few questions conduct by Mr. Anis Baswedan, to bring out the vision of each candidate. As we know that Indonesian has 3 couples candidate. Megawati Soekarno Putri – Prabowo Subianto, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono – Budiono and Jusuf Kalla – Wiranto. Each candidate are mixed from civil and military, Megawati, Budiono and Jusuf comes from civil and Prabowo, Susilo and Wiranto was great army general.

When Mr. Anis comes to question about lately condition of Indonesian ARMY, Megawati, Jusuf Kalla and Bambang Yudhoyono agree that military should have more funds to equip better troops. But only Bambang Yudhoyono describes the budget number (35 Billions Rupiahs for next years). In Lapindo disaster, illegal charge, Indonesian labor who works overseas and human right, all candidates has same vision. Upgrade discipline, character, supervision, reward and punishment, establish good relationship with others country, optimist, etc. are their solutions.

One thing had made me give more credit to Susilo Bambang that he would like to use IT (Information Technology) to reform the bureaucracy, its one great idea, make data goes faster, work in better way, great transparency and can develop clean government easily. Next leader should create a high standard for civil servant, high salary, high technology, less time to process, only a few staff in each department to let the computer help fully. If Indonesia could conduct professional civil servant, would give deep impact of investment climate. Private company wills growth certainly, and of course the leader also implements good law policy and better economic recovery.
