It seems to me that the Indonesians are very good at talking and talking about WHAT to do but absolutely hopeless of finding the best way of HOW to do it. Please observe the number of dialogs, seminars, symposiums, etc etc about WHAT to be done but no one has come up with HOW to get there". The latest bank closure fiasco is another example of the incapability of the Indonesian decision makers to be DECISIVE and showed some sign that they know what they are doing. Why can't they make up their mind quietly and then, just announced it which banks to close, NOT TO BE CLOSED. Like Nike says: "Just Do It". Instead, they allow plenty of time for rumours, speculation and contradictory statements to be made and spread. In the end, everyone is confused. How many banks to close? When? What categories? A?B?C?D?E?F?Z? No wonder the account holders are confused, frightened and in panic. "Menurutnya, kesimpangsiuran informasi yang diterimanya saat ini membuat dia bingung. "Semua orang heboh membicarakan tentang likuidasi bank, tapi saya tidak tahu mana yang benar," (WASPADA: Nasabah Bank Di Medan Heboh!, 12/2/98) Come on guys, you are suppose to be the professional, the country and people are suffering enough already, why can't you run your country professionally. May be this is the real problem, you have not run the country professionally for the last 32 years and it is too much to expect from you now.

So what about it BJ, give up your day job? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Didistribusikan tgl. 15 Feb 1999 jam 08:09:11 GMT+1 oleh: Indonesia Daily News Online <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.Indo-News.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
