Many works of government policy cause many problems
to solve both in the short-term and long-term. Many
times we see ministers who put forth ideas thoughtlessly
and without information and the fact to support
their views. When nobody agrees with so the idea
it is canceled easily. This is different from solving
problems with analysis and if nobody agrees, it
should be proved and confirmed and not so easily
canceled.
The idea to solve the problems of the deep south
put forth by the Interior Minister or his related
persons each time--such as setting up cable TV or
migrating people to the area or even Minister of
Social Development and Human Securitys idea
to solve youth problem by motorcycle racing or pointing
spotlights at hotels--may have good intentions,
but it is to easy. When there is an objection, their
answer is that they are just giving suggestions.
This clearly shows the efficiency of government
thought and that finding someone for the position
is like playing to sell rice and curry.
To solve the accumulative social problems, whether
youth or the deep south, takes solutions at the
structural level and needs time and energy in every
way to find the root cause. It expertise including
the knowledge of history, politics and administration.
It must be analyzed and researched in every case
and aspect.
The truth is that most of the high government officials
are electioneers who have the business to be selected
to work in the government team and make overseas
trips. They must know that solving problems at the
government level is not easy, but because we play
politics as a family and do not consider other's
feelings, we can see clearly that more problems
happen.
To be governing the nation absolutely at the House
of Representative level may make the one who has
power forget that while he is looking at a star
his feet must be on the ground. His mind must be
with peoples' grief and happiness. Having absolute
power does not permit one to do whatever they want
and appoint whoever from wherever because the result
is what we do not expect to hear, but we hear anyway.
It seems that the nation's administration is like
playing musical chairs and is opposite to the Prime
Ministers wish of seeing the nation progress
in stability in the new century while people live
without hardship.
