CONDUCIVE DOMESTIC SITUATION ONE KEY TO INDONESIA'S DEVELOPMENTAL SUCCESS
Jakarta, Aug 19 (ANTARA) - The ability of Indonesian government to maintain a conducive domestic situation was often seen as one of five keys of success in development.
Speaking at a special plenary session of the Regional Representative Council here on Wednesday, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said that development would proceed smoothly when the political stability was secured or if the domestic situation was really conducive.
On the contrary, development would continue to encounter obstacles and proceed unsteadily, when the political situation remained volatile.
"We must keep on managing the political dynamics so that its lively spirit continues to be pursuant to the objective and effort of development, certainly without curtailing our privilege in enjoying the freedom of democracy," Yudhoyono said.
According to him, the development in the realm of democracy still required a perpetual social harmony. "It is unlikely that development will proceed effectively when the people are always subjected to social conflicts that determine the basic foundations of social life."
"We have etched in dark ink, how the conflicts in Ambon, Poso, Sampit and other areas which have led to the setback in the process of development," he said, adding that the ability to create conducive domestic situation was the success of the development.
The head of state also stressed that there were other four keys of success of development for all in addition to
conducive domestic situation. The other four keys had to do with the presence of effective and responsible leadership, the positive cohesion and synergy amongst all components of the nation, the broad support of the society, integrity and the ethics of professionalism of the leaders and agents of development.
An inclusive, evenly distributed and just strategy and program could only be materialized by the presence of effective and responsible leadership, both in central and regional governments. There were no opportunities that could be seized by regions whose leaders work leisurely, deprived of any spirit and determination to give their best.
Without capable leadership with integrity and hard work, a success in development especially in improving the the welfare of the people would not be achieved, the head of state said.
However, such capable leadership should also be supported by the positive cohesion and synergy amongst all components of the nation. The mustering of the concerted strength of the government, state institutions, business community, university and civil society is a prerequisite for the success of development.
"It is impossible to achieve the success of development if the government's elements works alone without the positive support from the business community or elements of the civil society. Therefore, development must be a wide open room for the participation of all children of the nation, irrespective of their positions and wherever they may be," he said.
More important, the head of state further said, was the broad support of the support of the society. The broad contribution and support of the society were social capital which should not be neglected in all sectors of development.
The society would be actively involved in the development process, when they felt they had an interest in it and had a sense of belonging. he said, adding that on the contrary, people who enjoyed the best possible public service would in turn be called upon to secure the successful completion of development in their respective regions.
Yudhoyono also gave an emphasis on the integrity and the ethics of professionalism of the leaders and agents of development.
"Therefore, I never cease to invite and stress on all government ranks and files as agents of development to always highly uphold the mentality, integrity and professionalism ethics. Never even consider, let alone be tempted to compromise our integrity, particularly abusing authority for personal benefit, not to mention committing corruption," he said.
Power was indeed vested with temptation and let us therefore exercise it with sincere devotion, he said.
