A recent survey says President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's image has taken a battering following his seeming reluctance to step into the antigraft breach and the Bank Century debacle, which could risk the success of his 100-day program.
The survey was based on reports from five national Indonesian-language dailies - Kompas, Tempo, Media Indonesia, Republika and Seputar Indonesia - from Nov. 3 to 9. "The public's negative perception of the President is rated at 64 percent, higher than last week's rating of 53.85 percent," Indonesian Survey Circle-Network (LSI-Network) public issues executive director Denny J.A. said Thursday.
Your comments:
I am one of the many people who are disappointed with the President's inaction in the case of the KPK and the police. It is very strange for him not to report the defamation. It only gives grounds for speculation, rumors and gossip, which in the end could only hurt the President.
I am not surprised about the Democratic Party as it seems to me that most of them are opportunists and the Democratic Party will certainly not gain power in next election as people can see their real colors.
It is sad to see how people just have their own agenda and do not care about the "people we love" or "the country we love". They should be ashamed of themselves.
What disturbs me more is that when sometime ago a man sent an SMS to the President's family, an apology was requested and granted. That was absolutely nothing on a national scale.
Now, despite this serious news, the President is quiet. This is disturbing the people and they are asking many questions. If the President wants to run a serious and honest government, please take action against those who made those claims so we the public will know it was false. This is very serious.
