4. “For me, politics is such a big mystery that the
truth can’t be proven. They said it’s for public
importance, but it turns out to create damage”
INSIGHT
Youth do believe that Politics its all about
conflict of Interest no matter what the
form are
Corruption and fraudulence have been
becoming most supportive factor to not
paying attention at all
Because politic is DAUNTING
Ninda, F 20

5. “I would choose Golkar/Demokrat
Party because I love Jusuf Kalla
very much!”
In politic, youth still stare at
the figure, not the celebrities.
Figures that who are smart,
caring, and concrete doing
something for the country are
the supportive factor for them.
Lury, 17 F, High School Student
Early Voter

6. Q : What about Gerindra?
“Gerindra can be a party
which can make our eyes
stare at due to Prabowo’s
presence as a figure”
“I don’t believe in Gerindra as
a party”
Nunu, Lecturer

7. Have U ever heard about TIDAR?
Tidar? Tunas Indonesia Raya,
Sounds familiar. It’s
owned by Prabowo. That’s all I
one of an Indonesia
know.
party, isnt it?
Ever heard about that but I
don’t really know exactly
what it is.
I really have no idea

8. After All Those Things, These are Some Notions Should be
Remembered!
Do the campaign without any obvious party identity on it
Goes to school! give acknowledgement to them about politic
in fun ways. They want to know about positive side in politic
Music events and sport tournaments only make youth aware
on Tidar, but not a guarantee that they will have Tidar and
Gerindra in their top of mind to choose.

9. Note Also What This Campus Activist Says
At 2009 I’d rather choose based on
figure ‘s competency, not the Party, yet
in the future, beside figures, party
motor will be in my consideration too.
PKS reach the youth based on their
Ideology and they have good ways to
maintain their cadre. They are very
solid.
Tidar has a great exposure on media,
but I’m not sure what they are doing
exactly. Who’s their cadre? What are
their contribution?
As an Activist, Party should fight
alongside the Students for human right ( Dzulfian, Head of
eg. JR UU BHP, health insurance for poor
) Student Executive
Board
