The Reign of Megawati Sukarno Putri.

Megawati FUTURE POLICY: - raise the price of electricity and telephone BBM WEAKNESSES: - at the time, megawati a policy of selling state assets (Eg TELKOM) so that the ownership of the majority fall into the hands of a stranger-release of Sipadan.
Ligitan is one huge failure of the Megawati administration. When Gus Dur did not satisfy members of the Assembly, Mega also was asked to be president. Although personal impressed willing to talk, in fact during the reign of Mega, the country's economic growth began to advance. The political situation is relatively stable. But most observers noted, he often made a policy that is not populist. During his reign fuel prices rise, so does the telephone and electricity tariffs. This is exacerbated by the actions were not firmly against M.A. Rachman, Attorney General considered corruption and cases of Religious Affairs, Syed Agil. Many who gave a memorandum administration succeeds Mega is not combat corruption. He is still considered slow in law enforcement, unable to be assertive, to the erosion of commitment to defending the poor. Even so, with confidence, PDIP was filed.
