. Social is an interaction between individuals, and politics means the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power. So we can assume that both aspect are related

Currently, the developing of politics in Indonesia is divided into two sides. First side contains Leaders, Political Parties, and Political Leaders, which fight for the rights that the people deserve. Second side contains of people that only care about themselves and uses their power for personal benefits.

Those two sides that I said before was not from my personal opinion, but because of the fact in our government. We could take example from the recent case which is the Governor of Jakarta versus the Jakarta House of Representatives.

The income and outcome Budget proposal of Jakarta for 2015 reaches until 76,9 Trillion. This amount of Money would be spent on these three main problems of Jakarta, which are Flood, Transportation, and Education. 20% of the Budget will be spent on Education, in number it could reach until 15,4 trillion Rupiah. The governor of Jakarta, Mr. Basuki Cahaya Purnama recognizes that there is a Budget Abuse made by the Jakarta’s House of Representative with the total amount of 12 trillion rupiah. This big amount of is considered as an abuse because these Budget proposal was not verified by the Governor of Jakarta himself where according to the constitution, both the Governor and the Jakarta House of Representatives must both verified this Budget Proposal.

One of the examples of this Budget Abuse is the purchase of Uninterruptable Power Supply for 49 different high schools in Jakarta. The mechanic of the school was taught how to use the UPS, and then soon he realizes that the UPS costs until 5.8 billion rupiah, where normally it could cost around 80-120 million rupiah. There is mark up when it comes to purchasing needs, and it is normal because considering of the commission and taxes, but from 120 million until 5.8 billion, that’s amazing.

This budget abuse has been mediated at the meeting between the Governor of Jakarta and The Jakarta House of Representatives. But the only result is chaos between them.

The Governor of Jakarta knows that this is an act of Budget abusing or corruption, but still there are groups of leaders that don’t care about him and wanted to overthrow him.

Let’s put back to the past, on the early days of Indonesian independence, at that time Indonesia was combined, was united because of one purpose, which is to gain independence from the Invaders.

Shall we not forget with the sacrifices that has made by our early generations, which gave their live for the freedom of Indonesia. The country Indonesia was formed because of our Unity. Let’s not make the Government or Political leaders mess up with this country because of their personal needs.

A famous political philosopher Aristotle once said, that a discussion about a nation is for achieving the same target, the same dream, and the same achievement. Our leaders noticed this, but sadly most of our leaders nowadays don’t care about this.

If most of our leaders and political leader don’t fight for what we deserve, let’s give our best support for the leaders that still fight for us.

L n G

Many ways that we could support the leaders that still fight for us, by making NGO or Non Governmental organization for example Indonesia Corruption Watch, joining the Political Election by picking the right candidates, not the candidates that paid you to choose them, giving supports from social media, demonstration.

If we make these efforts, we could push the leaders into doing the right thi
