Comments: Democracy and communities’ interests

N

strong>Nov. 9, p. 10

Democracy should be maintained in the context of several aspects in communities, leaders of the Asia-Pacific region told the fifth Bali Democracy Forum (BDF) on Thursday.

Brunei Darussalam Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah said in applying the principles of democracy, “We must ensure that they do not become points of division that affect the cohesiveness of our communities.”


Your comments:

“Democracy can be the most desirable mode of government as long as it is based on … the realization of universal democratic ideals.”

It is not democracy if it includes “reality of indigenous conditions and circumstances”.
