Our government is No 'one man show'.

Today is exactly the 100th day of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono governmental works. Demonstration and protest occurred in some area, mostly showed their opposition toward the government and considered that the government has failed in doing its job. Some issues arise, from 1. the unclear ending of century case, 2. The commercialization of KPK, 3. The Tax Mafia case, 4. The Dispute over the border with Malaysia, and last 5. The case with MA. The thing that i want to highlighted here is, how some people are able to decide such a complex system, government, as failed and blame it on one person?.

Let see this problem carefully. Do you know how many departments are in our governmental system?. There are education department, social department, financial department, Judicial department, House of representatives, etc. The list will continues if we want to name it one by one.

Those list means that our government is rather a grandeur concept with complex system of works. They recognize the equally complex problem we had, from poverty, crimes, corruption etc. Thus they made that divisional arrangements to make the resolving process to stay in focus. one department with one specific issue.

I suppose, if we want to see comprehensively, then what so called as the governmental success is also under the responsibility of those departments and people in it. If they did a poor job, of course it will create a bad impression for the society who see that as a failure. it means that, the failure is not come from a single person but rather from a group of people in it. Governmental works is not a one man show. It took a collective efforts to work. The efforts from every single person who gain the trust of our people to sit on the parliament (who came from different political party with different political interest) or posses any governmental position.

I do believe it is true that the president is a person who has an utmost authority to make decision. He is responsible for most major issues that happen in our country. He is the person in charge. He posses the control. But he is not the only one to blame. Like i said before, our government are so complex and also fully planted with wide ranging political interests. each elite brought different ideas and propose different solutions. sometimes they get along with each other and sometimes they don't. When there are different ideas come to the president, i believe his mere good intention is not enough to create a solution that satisfy everyone. How hard he tried, there will be always unsatisfied party.

The friction of the internal political interest in our government sometimes too strong to handle, to dangerous to neglect and also too risky to be implemented. That is why sitting on the presidential chair is not an easy job. He have to listen different voices that whisper different ideas while trying hard to accommodate them all.Therefore, the failure of our government should be address to specific person/department who is responsible for. I understand the tendency to look for a scape goat, but, rather than blaming on one person or brief people, isn't it better to demand the whole people in our government to show some commitment and dedication?.

If it is stated that the government has failed, then what kind of parameter that you used to measure the degree of failure that you talked about? and if it is called as a failure, then what kind of accomplishment is viewed as a success? is there any, name it, one government in the world that become the example of success? a government that able to handle and resolve all its societal problems. Is it possible for the government to tackle all the problems this nation's has?. If talked about percentage, then how much is the percentage number for this government to be considered as success?. and what if, it is you that become the president? will you be able to do so?.answer it then think again.
