Comments on other issues: Questioning policy on drug crime

J

strong>July 3, p8

I hope that President Joko '€œJokowi'€ Widodo is able to enact and enforce the same treatment under the law for government officials, officers and locals found to be part of drug-trafficking networks that his administration has shown in its punishment of foreign drug smugglers. (Deddy K., Jakarta)

Your comments:   

The bulk of drugs consumed in Indonesia are made in Indonesia. The final sentence should read (in my opinion): '€œthe drug epidemic is not solely caused by locals and government officials, but also sometimes by foreigners.'€

But this truth cannot be squared with the actions of the government, which is why one must '€œadapt'€ ones words accordingly, correct?
