There is no such thing as being neutral when the stakes are so - TopicsExpress



          

There is no such thing as being neutral when the stakes are so high. The Jakarta Post in its 31-year history has never endorsed a single candidate or party during an election. But in an election like no other, we are morally bound to not stand by and do nothing. Many of you have read this, I believe. But there are some lines that make this a very good editorial, the lines that I cannot agree more. For a long time election has been (supposed to be) confidential and also being ignored by many of us, but I must say I am impressed by how many people change their point of view and attitude on election, this year. Not one, not two, but many times this year, I have heard and read confession of people saying that this time they are not abstain. One humble spirit to move on can move a nation to vote. One humble spirit, not wanting to go back.
