Your expectations of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's next term.
We hope SBY's next term will be more successful in alleviating poverty, because it'll be nonsense if the president says that our economic growth has increased but there are millions who can't afford to pay school fees and who are malnourished.
Secondly, SBY must be stricter in upholding the law - justice for all. Look at Lapindo's victims; their houses have been flooded for three years, however the government can't take legal action against Lapindo as the company belongs to one of the ministers.
In addition, the government must guarantee and protect our basic rights. Our migrant workers, for example, seek better jobs abroad because the government can't do anything to provide a better life here and the government is too weak to protect them and therefore they are vulnerable to torture and unfair treatment.
Last but not east, we hope SBY-Boediono can work harder to clean up government corruption.

I pray that Pak SBY will be able to work hard to improve prosperity of the people, improved security and create more political stability. I wish him greater success.

SBY must get his bodyweight down. He's gained quite a lot in his first term. We voted for a healthy president, not one who'll get a series of heart-attacks in next five years!

Now that SBY is officially re-elected he should form his cabinet based on non-political reasons; economic development, and social justice.
We will support him in every way we can.

There is a lack of religious and cultural tolerance which needs to be addressed, but eradicating terrorism should be SBY's priority.

Firstly, I congratulate SBY for his victory. I expect you will continue your efforts to eradicate corruption in this country, as lots of corruptors have been caught and now are in jail. Huge challenges are waiting for you, especially how to fight terrorism.
I just realized that when you led the ceremony to commemorate Indonesia's 64th Independence Day no single ex-president attended.
That means that the elites do not like to you. Therefore, as an Indonesian, I call for all Indonesian people to support the President to lead our country for the sake of better future. If we work together, something heavy will be easier.

Economic development is a must, a better quality of education should be given a high priority and security should be strengthened.

Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his running mate Budiono were elected President and Vice President with a strong mandate from the people. Therefore we expect SBY to lead our country in his second term with firmer leadership. He should form his cabinet based on loyalty and professionalism and not on the principle of power-sharing and lead our country with firmer leadership.
Furthermore, he should tightly control administrative reform in the central as well as in the local governments. Above all he must strengthen anti-corruption efforts.
