CHAIRMAN's
MESSAGE |
 |
All
of a sudden, we are requested to nominate competitors to run
for presidency. Then to choose one of these candidates as president.
This made us realize that we’re not ready for this process. We were not given enough time to prepare and promote for this ideology. The public are not prepared, accustomed, or trained for such. How can we handle this matter in the future?
Our educational system is the prime system responsible for the creation of this concept, the preparation of this competitive atmosphere, the gearing of the ability to choose, and the promotion of the ideology of accepting others and opponents, and that ultimately only one nominee shall win with an average of 60% to 70%.
That this, in no way, is to demean the losers or their positions. When I refer to our educational system, that does not only depict schools, but also family, media, and religious institutions...the social upbringing as a whole.
