Kalla added that any matter if not managed well could serve as a trigger of a state crisis.Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Former vice president Jusuf Kalla said that the political crisis in Egypt could have an impact on Indonesia.
"There are three things that could create people`s resistance, namely being undemocratic, lack of freedom, corruption and economic problems," Jusuf Kalla said after attending the 59th anniversary of the Indonesian Entrepreneurs Association (APINDO) here on Monday.
He said that Indonesia had exceptional freedom. "But if corruption, collusion, nepotism, unemployment, poverty and shortage of food happen, (the unrest) like in Egypt could surface," he said.
As regards, all sides should make efforts to prevent it. "We have to make efforts so that it hopefully will not happen," he added.
Kalla added that any matter if not managed well could serve as a trigger of a state crisis.
