Nearly 78 years ago, the founders of the nation promised social justice for all Indonesian people. They were willing to take the path of simplicity, suffering and sacrifice of life for the realization of the promise of justice and prosperity in the motherland that is gemah ripah loh jinawi, tata tentrem kerta raharja (affluent and abundant in wealth and population, fertile and water-rich, orderly, peaceful and prosperous). The promise was recorded in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution, constitution, and fifth principle of Pancasila.
In the name of God, leaders are sworn in to uphold the constitution. However, almost 78 years later, they have failed to pay off the promise of social justice which is the mandate of the constitution. Instead of upholding the constitution, they even turn Indonesia into a country without the principle of social justice for all, but with the practice of injustice for millions of poor people in various corners of the country.
