Jakarta, CIDISS – Homework to build Indonesia into a developed and prosperous country is certainly not an easy thing to accomplish. There are so many problems that occur in Indonesia as a reflection of the diversity that has, and even then seemed to be a parasite problems for the government to complete the homework for Indonesia. The demand for achieving development in Indonesia would be realized if various elements synergy to their similarity in vision and mission of the foundation is to work, work and work. The hard work is certainly the key to success to finish homework Indonesia. Then, if we as a society have had a mental sturdy Indonesia to work?
In an effort to complete the homework Indonesia through the development of infrastructure to support economic activities, these efforts reap back some criticism from various parties. Development of fast train Jakarta Bandung until now been the subject of noise by a certain person who basically just want to sing without thinking of another point of impact of the construction of fast trains.
In connection with that, the President Joko Widodo deplored the “noise” that occurred related to the fast train project. Jokowi compare the facts that occurred in China with those in Indonesia. In six years, China could build a fast railway line along the 16,000 kilometer. While Indonesia, working on new fast train line along the 150 kilometer course it’s crowded. Jokowi asserted, we are pleased crowded. I will change into a crowded hectic work, work. Debate was not crowded, busy talking to each other. Jokowi stressed, regardless of its form, the construction of transport infrastructure will be beneficial for the community. Automatic transport costs will be cheaper. Impact, the price of goods can be cheaper than ever before so that the products are also increasingly competitive.
Another thing that should be understood by the parties often argue related development is that the construction of a fast train fast trains Jakarta Bandung is a form of good cooperation between Indonesia and China’s state-owned enterprises. Seeing the positive signals, the President Jokowi wants relations between Indonesia and China to be strengthened so that the cooperation between the two countries could be more widely across all sectors. Jokowi said, give my regards to President Xi Jinping that Indonesia-China cooperation could be extended to other areas, so that this cooperation more closely. Now back again to us as the people of Indonesia, if such cooperation is not beneficial for Indonesia or we just want to sing, argue and did not start work.
Looking at the various efforts made by President Jokowi, of course, we as people of Indonesia should be aware of the present situation. Leaders that we have chosen together has given an example of how mental revolution expected work, then it is time for us to realize that to complete homework Indonesia, will not be completed only by arguing, but it works.
