Being new republic country, our citizens start to enjoy freedom of expression. More and more public protest/ demonstration are surfacing nowadays. Understandable that there are a lot of areas to be reformed for a country ruled by military junta for several decades. The problem is people who can't immediately change their way of thinking and working, especially at government service staffs. They are thinking that people must follow at their will. People are thinking that the system make their lives difficult so that corruption couldn't be avoidable wherever they go for government service. By 2010 GE, our country name instantly change as a new republic state. Question is "Are we really deserve to say so for the time being?". So many similar questions get unanswered.
There were visibly improvement in some policies to ease people's lives, car and mobile phone policy changed for instance. Reconciliation process seem progressed. Some burden of public press law removed. Censorship department dismantled and boost press freedom. All are welcoming moves. US & EU countries withdrew most of sanction and offered assistance we never got before in history. Our president's reputation up immediately and some awards were asides for him. Our president will go state visit to Washington to make another milestone. As the schedule is in sight, a committee is reviewing balanced political prisoner to be freed. It is noticeable that amnesty come whenever he goes outside country. I don't think it is something right to do. Our politicians are our assets and we should address them as a part of building our country. Instead, we are apparent freeing them as a bargaining strip against western communities. I am hopeful to see another amnesty to come shortly while Mr president is in US. Regardless of the reason, it is great to see real politicians escape from prison in order to take part the reform process. It is time to honest if we are about to catch up our neighboring countries.
May our President able to bring back home some fruitful outcomes.
