National Defense Program Negated
The ministry of defense has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) with several ministries for a national defense training program. However, the program, which will be implemented in all the nation's regencies and municipalities, has drawn sharp criticism from Deputy House of Representatives (DPR) Speaker Fadli Zon. "Why the urgency? What is there to defend when we can't even manage the smoke (haze)?" Fadli said last Tuesday, adding that the government should focus on economic issues.
