A recent survey by The Indonesian Research and Development Institute (IRDI) has revealed most Indonesians are satisfied with the performance of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Vice President Jusuf Kalla.The third national survey interviewed 2,000 respondents between Oct. 6 and Oct. 13.
IRDI's director Nofrida Mandica said here Monday most respondents were pleased with the education, health and security programs implemented by the pair, Antara news agency reported.
When asked about health and security agendas respectively, 57.9 and 57.6 percent of those surveyed responded positively; 55.5 percent gave positive marks to programs on education; and 52.7 percent approved of corruption eradication efforts.
Dissatisfied responses clustered around rising prices on necessities and ongoing poverty issues: 63.5 percent of respondents were dissatisfied with programs to control staplefood prices, 52.4 percent were displeased with efforts to solve poverty and unemployment problems, while 49.3 percent were dissatisfied with fuel and gas distributions in the past six months.
The survey also demonstrates that a large portion of respondents were unfamiliar with initiatives targeting low-income families such as the schoolbook subsidy program (30.3 percent) and the microenterprise credit fund (39 percent).
"On the positive side, 75.9 percent of respondents were aware of the school operational funds (BOS) program," Nofrida said. (ewd)

The survey ‘s result represents the current condition of Indonesian society. Even the International society had recognized the excellent and unbelievable result of success from our current President and the Vice President.
The Indonesian politicians will not be happy with the result since they expect the President which can help them to support their ego willingness for their interests but not for the Indonesia people.
My distinguished DPR members!, see the voice of your people and also the voice of the International community. Majority of them always support to the improvement of the President and its cabinet in fostering the Indonesian social welfare and not like you, my distinguish Leaders. Please ask yourself, what had you ever done to this country, other than to safe your family business and your Children.
Congratulation to Mr. SBY and Mr. Kalla, never feel alone, we are your people far away from Indonesia always be with you. And God is with you since He knows what's in your heart.
