Questioning the various policies and actions taken by the government and its apparatus is entirely legitimate and legal; it is a sign of a citizen’s concern.
What is impermissible—because it violates both ethics and the law—is to insult the policies and those who created them.
So, for those of you anxious enough to question crucial matters—such as “Will the Indonesian government collapse?” or “Will Indonesia become a failed state?”—Johanes Lim attempts to provide answers. I do so not as an expert, but as a fellow citizen experiencing the same situation as you; and most importantly, I have NO POLITICAL AGENDA:
First:
Indonesia will be fine; it will not become a failed state.
The Prabowo-Gibran administration will also be politically stable (provided, of course, that there is no internal factionalism).
Second:
Various policies that feel burdensome to the public—because they seem to “chase the people’s money right under the bed”—remain within reasonable bounds. Any country in need of funds, with nowhere else to turn, will inevitably squeeze its own people for revenue. This has been true from the era of ancient empires to the present day. SO, THERE IS NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT IT.
Third:
It is better to simply accept what we cannot change. Rather than getting angry—especially venting on social media, which could land you in jail—it is better to MANAGE the situation.
That is Johanes Lim’s perspective.
THE KEY IS: MANAGING UNCERTAINTY TO CREATE CERTAINTY:
1. Certainty of safety
2. Certainty of comfort
3. Certainty of prosperity
No matter what happens, we must employ “mitigative thinking”—the mindset of “preparing the umbrella before the rain falls.”
