"Indonesia Is Not Failed State", by : Jong Patria, ( Interaction of Public Psychology Expert and Management Policy),

I do not agree if someone says that Indonesia is a failed State because If we analyze the aspect of etymology, means failure is not successful, if the exam is not passed, both in terms of running the government, the economic aspect, law enforcement and defense & security. Let us examine this issue with positive thinking A. side of the economy 1998, due to a sharp political battle, Indonesia slumped as the financial crisis, the impact on the economic crisis is prolonged, far-reaching impact on national development of Indonesia. Difficult to encourage the real sector of the government to spur economic growth. Development funds siphoned to overcome financial and monetary issues. Economic growth was even negative, and moved slowly for a few years later. In 1998, recorded economic growth reaches the lowest point of minus 13.1%. A year later, in 1999, the growth of a positive return, but only 0.8%, after Indonesia receiving foreign aid through the IMF scenario. Difficult economic situation that has a condition that worsens with political and social crisis which is long enough. In the end Indonesia capable of rolling through the democratization of political reform and change of national leadership changes in the legislative system. In the two periods of national leadership in the early days of reform (1999-2004), economic growth began to move up to reach 4.1% in 2003. Slowly and surely, we continue to improve conditions. Statistics show that moving up - forward. When other nations experiencing very low growth, we are number 3 in the world with a growth of 4.5%. There is a tremendous learning for the people of Indonesia to remain optimistic. Therefore, when a crisis we are still up - grow up. In 2010 the national economy grew 6.1%, in 2011 increased to 6.5%. This is the highest after the reform, with the lowest inflation rate after the reform is also 3.79%. However, there are some things to be improved, among others: 1 . Necessary data collection and real restructuring of economic activities throughout the region, because the suspect there is a black market in which goods are prohibited or into or produced by not following the rules of this sale due to the complicated bureaucracy, this is very devastating state revenues from taxes and other sectors. 2. bureaucratic reform continuously throughout the Department and relevant units that can ultimately increase revenues and to the people prone to public facilities, as well as reforming the tax agency for many disadvantaged countries in the tax sector (tax manipulation). 3. Budget tightening to prevent corruption in the sector of the state budget .. 4.Stop debt from IMF. 5. doing the people's economy, where government support and enhance the economic potential of the sector in all regions of Indonesia among others, by making loans cheaper and not difficult to get a loan. 6. Open accses area of extent of exports, so that the economic potential of the region can be sold rapidly throughout the world. 7. employment quickly and evenly across the country Indonesia. 8. Create a new joint bank pioneered the asean countries or non-bank institutions to assist its member countries will help the sector to the economy. B. Law Enforcment of the law enforcement side, there is already a national figure both individuals and political parties leaders, entrepreneurs, who in prison for committing acts of corruption However, law enforcement should be further improved, whoever did the corruption should be in jail with a severe punishment. Law enforcement must be fast, not too long taken the decision because the people are also doing monitoring and do not be afraid of intervention by the various political forces. for law enforcement officials who manipulate the law, so that given a very heavy penalty double that of non-law enforcement. C. Defense and Securty In Indonesia Until now the death penalty has been applied to the terrorists who were captured. This proves that Indonesia Consistent to the problem of national security and law enforcement. But further more Indonesian people want to feel comfortable and safe living in his country, both in performing daily activities, demanding his rights or the day of worship. In this case, it is necessary in improving the quality and standard of the role of Security institutions like the Police Institution, Indonesian Army, defense and other agencies. The riots that occurred in Indonesia and the like in mesudji, Papua and other, should be quickly resolved by finding the root of the problem, if linked with other agencies, the Government should intervene to solve as fast if not faster, it will spread to other regions throughout Indonesia and would be a bad record of our nation's history. The news media reported that Indonesia is a country fails to rank 64, this opinion can heat the political temperature is getting hot. Politicians spoke up as if Indonesia is on the verge of collapse as a failed state. Though currently there is no destruction in the country of Indonesia, both in terms of economic, political, legal, cultural, etc., but it is not maximized in the achievement of its targets. Attempt to repair it has also been done, there's a shortage in its improvement, but I want to ask if there is a perfect country in the world, or is there a perfect human world? the Fund for Peace establish Indonesia as a "warning" at risk as a failed state, not as a failed state, Indonesia showed trends toward improved. In Indonesia the survey was ranked 63 out of 177 countries. in other countries, like USA, Europe, in the event of the presidential election, are vying with each other to win the race, sharply criticizing each other, but after one candidate won, becoming president-elect, then the loser will give my congratulations to the president elect and support programs new government. In Indonesia it is still in the process may still not fully support each other in implementing the government program, we still have to learn a lot about democracy. According to the survey, there are five things that make Indonesia worse position. The first is demographic pressure. This demographic pressure is due to the degradation of land and displacement of people due to environmental concerns. Second, second, the social pressure problems due to the widening gap between rich and poor, third, the pressure on certain religious issues that complicate difficult to worship a particular religion, to four, the problem is quite serious problems inherited by the previous government, the fifth course of disharmony good governance among the executive, judicial and legislative. if we continue to blame each other, hold each other blasphemy, attacking each other, when are we going to build this nation? there are flaws in the government run it but there are also advantages perceived by the Indonesian people, therefore, let us together build this nation, enforce the laws, build democratic economy, defend the weak, grant the right of freedom of worship to all religious communities, do the moral thing and dignified and back to our national identity ( Nation and character Building ). ---------------------000000000-----------
