Presidential Elections and First Time Voters

0:00:09.840,0:00:14.640
Indonesians will celebrate a festival for democracy which will be held

0:00:14.640,0:00:17.240
on 9 July 2014

0:00:17.880,0:00:21.841
This presidential election is its 3rd direct presidential election

0:00:21.841,0:00:25.040
and the winner will hold the position for 5 years

0:00:26.600,0:00:30.400
In every election, first time voters always become the source for the battle of influence

0:00:30.400,0:00:31.560
between the various political camps

0:00:32.840,0:00:38.080
This group will be wooed by every candidate

0:00:39.434,0:00:44.640
The young voter has different characteristics from the other older voters

0:00:44.640,0:00:51.320
The young voter is much more critical, autonomous, independent, and positive to change

0:00:53.081,0:00:57.840
But we must remember that the young voter is also a subject and political asset

0:00:57.840,0:01:02.233
They are not just objects of political rivalries between political parties and presidential candidates

0:01:03.240,0:01:06.043
Their voices also need to be heard

0:01:06.043,0:01:07.920
Their interests need to be answered

0:01:08.912,0:01:10.880
Their hopes:

0:01:11.440,0:01:19.640
My hope for the presidential candidates in 2014 is that they

0:01:19.640,0:01:21.560
create a real democratic system in Indonesia

0:01:23.001,0:01:29.320
All this time my impression of these two candidates comes only from their efforts to fight each other

0:01:30.391,0:01:42.081
(I hope) the supporting teams of candidates only broadcast information that's more positive to society

0:01:42.680,0:01:47.440
To prevent the spreading of hatred

0:01:47.440,0:01:48.911
towards either of the presidential candidates

0:01:49.320,0:01:58.240
My hope for the candidates is that they pay attention to creative workers

0:01:58.240,0:02:02.840
and that all the people who work in this field so that they don't (only) become spectators in their own city

To the winner of this election, I hope that my country will develop more

0:02:09.601,0:02:11.840
And that the president will fix the surge of unemployment

0:02:13.920,0:02:14.680
Rule of law

0:02:16.676,0:02:27.120
The next president must eradicate the abuse of drugs and narcotics, human trafficking... they have to be firm

0:02:27.752,0:02:31.314
and exterminate all corruption at its roots

0:02:32.120,0:02:32.880

0:02:33.320,0:02:37.000
To the elected president, I hope that

0:02:37.000,0:02:41.961
my province, Riau, will be free from forest burning and smoke from it so we won't suffer like this every year

0:02:42.520,0:02:44.120
Young people are like fire

0:02:45.080,0:02:48.120
If there is no channel for them, they will burn every where

0:02:49.538,0:02:55.548
And once again, to the elected president, he should apply democracy

0:02:56.608,0:03:01.320
So that the future generation will know what real democracy is
