Luka Reformasi: Perkara yang Belum Tuntas

Luka Reformasi : Perkara yang Belum Tuntas

Saat tirani tumbang, seharusnya babak baru bagi negeri ini dimulai. Tapi, reformasi yang seharusnya menjadi simbol perubahan dan kebebasan kini semakin sulit dirayakan.

Sejarah tak banyak mencatat, ada Reformasi dan Perkara Lain yang Belum Tuntas. Reformasi bukan hanya sebuah momen politik, tetapi juga puncak perjalanan panjang rakyat yang telah berlangsung selama puluhan tahun. 

The drop of tyranny should have led this country to the new chapter. But, reform which is supposed to be the symbol of change and freedom, is no longer celebrated effortlessly.

There are unfinished business, changes, and other things that history does not chronicle. Reform represents more than simply a political turning point; it also marks the zenith of the people's decades-long journey.
