How to make a better Indonesia?

Assalamualaikum wr. wb.

First of all, we would like to introduce ourselves. We are students from an Islamic International School located in Hambalang, Bogor. We decided to make this letter for you to make sure that you'll do a great job if you are elected to become the next President of Indonesia. This is a pleasure for us. A big appreciation for you if you are interested to read, Sir. We are only normal teenagers that want to make this country even better in the future. Indonesia is a very beautiful country to be visited by tourists from different parts of the world if we have a good government system. It means that we have to be careful to select for the next President to take care of our beloved country. We wrote this specially for you, because we believe that you could do a great improvement on managing the system.

Let us outline some topics that we would like to "discuss" here:
1. Disaster,
2. Poverty, and
3. Cleanliness

The topics above might be not really important but those are really have a big impact. The things that we will explain after this are based on our thoughts and what we feel of being apart of citizen of Indonesia.

1. Disaster
This one is happening a lot now. Mount Kelud just exploded a week ago and thunderstorm happened during the process. Many people died because of the poisonous ashes which came out from the mouth of the mountain. The ashes are spreading all over the city even it reaches our capital city, Jakarta. Maybe not much but still. On this case, the government should give more attention to the people who live around the area. Give them more daily life supplies (the basic ones: healthy food and fresh mineral water) to survive and a suitable place to save themselves. Not like an empty building and just let them lay down there. What if there is a pregnant woman? A sick child? Who wants to give  medicines and take care of them in that kind of crowded place? Diseases are easily to spread and we don't want the other people become sick too just because of one person. 

2. Poverty
Everyday many people are trying to live their life to the fullest. They are working so hard to get the best way to survive. With a simple "house" which made out of woods or bamboos, they won't give up. People who just graduated from universities and seeking for jobs, successful people, "unsuccessful" ones; there are many kind of people in this one country. We still have to remember, as apart of successful people, that there are still those "unlucky" society. Living an unhealthy life near dirty rivers or any kind of unsuitable places. They are keep on trying to find out how to make their life better. No additional "facilities" from the government which make them even worst.They need something to change their lifestyle. How can a society live in those kind of conditions? Unskilled, not having a proper job then they still have children, parents who they need to take care and of course it spends a lot of money just to buy a food. Where is the government that CARE of this society? So far, it has been the same. We don't see any changes of this issue. The other citizens are helping them, yes, but we need the government to help us too. How can this country be developed if the poverty keeps on increasing each year?

3. Environment
No wonder there are many diseases and viruses spread in surrounded areas. Big cities or small villages. Pollution, rubbish everywhere, well who isn't sick of seeing and feeling this everyday? We do have many trees, but they wont help us that much if we kept on cutting them illegally and use the land to build large and tall buildings. We're still wondering of something, why do people keep on throwing rubbish not in the right place? They knew  it will cause flood and other environment impacts. Well this is actually based on individuals awareness. Look at every time we walk past a street, there must be rubbish at the edges. Who doesn't feel digusted seeing a bunch of mixed rubbish? Do something to make this country as beautiful as other developed countries. Make the tourists feel comfortable while they are travelling around; seeking for good places to be visited so they will be impressed and we believe it will make them missing how lovely our environment is. By this, we will be prouder as an Indonesian.


I hope our opinions and suggestions are acceptable and useful for other people. We apologise for any mistakes written because we are humans and we make mistakes. Thats all from us.

Wassalamualaikum wr. wb.
