Last night I watched a good talk show in our national television. It discussed why there are still many terrorist attacts in Indonesia. One of the best argumentations came from Inspector General Tito Karnivan. He was one of chief deputy at Anti Terrorist Agency (BNPT). Recently he has been promoted as Police Chief at Papua.
In the talk show, he argued that the roots of terrorist in Indonesia came from DI/TII and JAT. It means when we want to learn about this, whe should learn about the history of DI/TII and JAT. He explained clearly the Indonesian terrorist connection. I think what had been explained can be read also from the article in this link How Indonesia Extrimists Regroup.
The knowledge from the talk show has supported my hypotheses that we still have problems in developing an integrated nation. Although it had been declared in 1945 through Indonesian Proclamation by our founders, in reality we still in the process to be an integrated nation (NKRI). I hope NKRI is not only an intent, but can become reality.
To achieve our goal as an integrated nation, we should always learn how to improve the economic and social welfare of the people. I believe public sector reform can play its role in improving Indonesian economic and social welfare, especially on how to improve public service process from public officers to clients.
In reality, government of Indonesia has implemented public sector reform program. It has also been put in the national agenda. Unfortunately, what has been implemented so far is a formalised bureaucratic reform program. That is why citizens as the beneficiary of the public services could not feel or experience direct benefit of the bureacratic reform program. Although many government agencies in central and local level have developed some bureaucratic reform programs, there is not enough research in designing the program. On the other side, the programs are not initiated by the involvement of the citizents, but usually only discussed in the internal side of the government agencies. As a result, it is important for the government of Indonesia to rethink the strategy in designing better public sector program.
