Someone Else's Land

What is the measurement for a success ? Money ? Power ? Luxury ? Most people will choose money, because at least everyone can get sick, but if you have no money than you can't treat your illness. Like we all know that Indonesia is a very fertile country, most of it's citizen is a farmer. Ironically almost all Indonesian farmers are poor. This kind situation happened because they didn't have their own land, they did someone else's land. So farmer can't enjoy their own crops and only become a cheap labor. But that is not the only problem, they also deal some other problems, the government itself. The government issue some regulation that make their living become very harsh, from wrong policies about fertilizer and the seedling, until imported crops from fruit until rice, all of of them are imported from outside, and make their live upside down even worse now.

It's almost the same with the medical doctor life in Indonesia. They did someone else clinic or hospital because it give them more money, and they will have no more time to do a private practice. When they have reached certain point in their life, it will be too late for them to do it. The other problem is just the same with the farmer, -Yes- The regulation itself. Most of the regulation are troublesome and even castrate their rights. The government didn't see the bigger picture and only focused in a medical doctor only. The worse enemy than the government is the media. The media sometimes pick more dramatically story, some story they can sell, but they didn't portrait the reality itself, most of their report about health care in the rural areas are lies. They praise the midwifes and nurse that practice in the rural area in middle of nowhere, but not the medical doctor that do the same as they did. And the worst of all is they blow up a health care problems as big as they can. That's unfair you know ! 

With all of this problem will we survive ?
Only time will tell us ...
