Are we in a constitutional crisis?
Looking at how our 'senators' (Dewan Perwakilan Daerah) eagerly propose an amendment on 1945 Constitution, I could only ask: Are we really in a constitutional crisis or these senators simply want to steal the show and get more power? Shouldn't they take care problems in their respective areas or deal with autonomy issues?
I was expecting Jakarta senators to paid attention on issues like worsening traffic jams, land dispute in Meruya between Permadi Rachmat (former CEO of Astra International) and people occupied the land he claimed three decades ago, or mount pressures to have our muddy and smelly rivers cleaned up immediately and cheap housing for workers.
Similarly, I hoped senators from Riau to mount pressures toward illegal logging and massive land clearing. I expected Papua senators to raise their voices on bigger revenue from Central Government derived from Freeport's tax & royalty payments.
