If he were alive and today and he were asked to analyse the situation of this republic in the 21st century, Mohammad Hatta could've just reprinted his writings published in 1962: "The development is not going as it should be... The progress of democracy is neglected because of everlasting political disputes. The implementation of local autonomy is too slow and triggered commotion in local level." A description of Mohammad Hatta's life, one of Indonesia's Founding Fathers, from thoughts to love. The content were published in TEMPO weekly's special edition from 2001 through 2009. Way beyond his time, Hatta has foreseen the struggles of Indonesian Republic that people said he's ahead of his time. According to Mohammad Hatta, democracy will prevail if there is a sense of responsibility and tolerance amongst political leaders. On the contrary, he thought that, "The politic situation that ends in riots, democracy that ends in anarchy, open a way for it's opposite: dictatorship." - from Amzon
