“Each of us should introspect, the constantly quake is an admonition of God upon our collective mistakes,” Hasyim told NU Online at PBNU Building, Jln Kramat Raya 164 Jakarta, Wednesday (19/7)

he argued that the collective mistakes consist of many things such as law enforcement, education, economy, and so forth. He took the law enforcement for instance that “The law should ensure justice, but we see nothing.”

Hasyim rejected that the devastating earthquake striking Indonesia to be related to the national leadership.

“I do not know if the entirely quakes related to that (national leadership). Otherwise, it’s our mistakes, not person to person,” he added. (rif)
