What Indonesia needs is to dump its old feudal ways and culture, says Soetrisno Bachir.At a seminar discussing Indonesian culture in modern times Partai Amanat Nasional (PAN) politician Soetrisno Bachir attempted to answer the question:Can Indonesia become a first rank country, able to compete with the world and provide prosperity for its people?Bachir said this was unlikely while old ways and habits of a feudal nature still had an influence over the life of the people and their characters.Sutrisno called for a new culture, given that traditional ways were not up to the task today, and given that the world was converging, cultures were gradually flowing into one another and uniting.But for now, he suggested, Indonesians were still far from being ready to explore new ways of thinking about things.
