Nobody is perfect. In my opinion, President SBY is doing his best for the people and the country.

His doctorate and his friendliness, as reflected in his recent visits to disaster areas, help him top the others.

Another reason for his excellence is that SBY has learned from the blunders of his predecessors, like nepotism. ODO FADLOELI

The most important achievement of SBY is political stability and law enforcement, while his biggest weakness is that he is too slow in making decisions. JOKO

No one can ignore the changes made by President SBY since he took office. At the same time, three years -- or even five -- are not enough to improve the effectiveness of his administration. Lots of things must be done. Let us give him a second chance. FARIED K. LANUR

SBY is not interested in making money for himself or his extended family. His biggest weakness: He tries to make everyone happy and by doing that he sometimes forgets the core problems.

Remember the missing daughter of a HIPMI member? He went all the way up to begging the kidnappers to return the little girl.

I think he needs to focus on the child trafficking for sex that has been going on for quite some time here in Indonesia. Does he know that as children young as five are being used in child pornography? ULI

SBY's weakness is that he pays too much attention to his image and too little attention to the important things like foreign investment etc.

He is also doing nothing about the less important people around him that call themselves advisers.

His strengths are his apparent honesty and how he handles foreign affairs. VIN LOM

The most important achievement of President SBY building the spirit of people to understand who is the real leader of Indonesia.

His weaknesses is his slowness. Many of his actions were late. He acted like a scientist by consulting the literature, data, statistics in the way a staff member would. He might be suffering from an inferiority complex. JOKO SUKISNO
