The government of people, by the people, and for the people. In fact, which people?

History repeats itself. Military law has been a hot topic in Indonesia since a few moment ago. And by today, of House of Represantives has officially pased the bill. However, this amandement has become controversional because it reminded us of new order regimes. Even thought the current government clarifie tha the military law will not return the dua function system of the Indonesian National Armed Forces.

In the new order era, this country was led by an authoritarian regime. The regime activated a dual function system of the military, whis was known as "Dwifungsi ABRI". In the system,the military was apppointed both in state defense and the socio political field. After the reformation in 1998, the dua function of the military had been abolished in this country.

The concern is officially acceptable. It's also marked by the movement of the bookish to save and buy Pramoedya Ananta Toer's books and paper. This Idea has been started since the presidentaial election of 2024. The community is worried if the new regime probably loots the (left) books in the future. Those boks are considered controversional books, along with other arts that depict the government's failure. Which in the new order era, the government not only looted the books but also abducted the people.
 
There was a well known quote " In the past, governance had a subtle relationship with private business. But, recently the governance tends to show their bold relationship with the private business."
As we can see our concern is not only about the socip political issue but also the environment. In the las few years, Indonesia has contributed to deforestation that affected climate change. The government unfolded and expanded the land to open a food estate at first, this program was supposed to strengthen national food security. In fact even though this program involved many farmers and gathered ist community, the harvest accelerated to the private sector, which engaged private business. In conclusion, the aim of this program was not for people but for business only.

Some people might think that if there is a general election, it means we still remain a democracy. Meanhile the authortarian rgime also held the general election, but it didn't mean they provided a democratic system. Abraham Llincolsn stated that democracy is the government of the people and for the people. It means the governance is led by the people, and the purpose of the policy is for the public community.
