DO NOT MAKE GLOBAL CRISIS AS POLITICAL COMMODITY, PRESIDENT SAYS
Jakarta, Dec 23 (ANTARA) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has said the global financial crisis and its impact on Indonesia should not be made as political commodity.
In his address to observe the 50th anniversary of National Social Solidarity Day (HKSN) at National Monument (Monas) square here on Tuesday, the president said the global crisis and its impact on Indonesia were commented differently by various parties in the country.
The president pointed out that some of the comments on the global financial crisis and its impact on Indonesia were incorrect and had political nuances.
According to the president, such an opinion did not sharpen the national way of thinking but just a waste of time.
"Some people say the world situation is safe and good and there is no problem at all with the global crisis, while some others say it does not have any impact on Indonesia. But let us not waste our time by giving inaccurate and dishonest opinion with political nuances to that issue," President Yudhoyono said.
Amidst various opinions about the impact of the global financial crisis on Indonesia, President Yudhoyono said the government would continue to work hard to go ahead with the national development toward the improvement of people's welfare.
On the occasion, the president expressed his special gratitude to Social Affairs Minister Bachtiar Chamsyah, state enterprises (BUMN), and private comapnies who had given their positive contribution to the people through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, and to various non-government organizations (NGOs), as well as the social workers for their contribution in empowering the people.
The head of state also called on all national elements to maintain social solidarity in the midst of the crisis.
"The social solidarity movement should be stepped up even more in the face of national and international developments," Yudhoyono said, adding that the central and provincial governments should try to do their best in improving the people's welfare.
