JAKARTA - Today's memory, seven years ago, February 18, 2016, former President Susilo Bambang Yudyohono (SBY) was furious that his past government was often a scapegoat for the era of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). This anger is because all kinds of political turmoil that has occurred is considered a legacy' from SBY.

SBY later expressed the annoyance on his Twitter account @Sbyudhoyono. Previously, SBY often responded to the statement of Jokowi and his subordinates regarding SBY's political heritage. From debt matters to political chaos.

SBY's journey as President of Indonesia who served for 10 years is full of twists and turns. His government did not run smoothly. There are advantages and shortcomings. However, these shortcomings are often brought up by the government after that.

President Jokowi and his subordinates often blame the political turmoil that occurred was the legacy of the SBY era (2004-2014). In fact, SBY said that every government has its own challenges and problems. Even if something is lacking, then the government's task is to immediately fix it rather than busy blaming it.

SBY's warning was ignored. Moreover, President Jokowi himself once mentioned Indonesia in the SBY era as a patient of the International Monetary Fund, the IMF. SBY was furious and didn't play. He conveyed the fact that Indonesia's debt to the IMF had been paid off for a long time.

He chose to speak everywhere. He did not want President Jokowi's statement to lead to slander. This is because SBY as the President of Indonesia paid off the IMF's debt in 2006. Alias during the SBY Indonesia period was free from the IMF patient list.

I was forced to respond and correct President Jokowi's statement regarding Indonesia's debt to the IMF. Yesterday, April 27, 2015, the People's daily contains Pak Jokowi's statement, which essentially means that Indonesia is still borrowing money from the IMF. This means that we still have a debt to the IMF. Sorry, for the sake of truth, I have to say that we paid off all Indonesia's debt to the IMF in 2006.

Indonesia's total debt to the IMF is 9.1 billion US dollars, if the current exchange rate is equivalent to IDR 117 trillion, and we will pay off the last payment in 2006, or four years ahead of the existing schedule. Since then we are no longer IMF patients," SBY said on his Facebook account, April 28, 2015.

A year later, the Jokowi government still blamed all kinds of policies that were present in the SBY era. The SBY government is often used as a scapegoat in every political turmoil in the Jokowi era. Therefore, development is too late.

The criticism made SBY respond again. This time, SBY wrote about his anger via the Twitter account @SBYudhoyono on February 18, 2016. He asked Jokowi and his subordinates to arbitrarily blame his government. He asked for all criticism directly from him who served as President of Indonesia from 2004-2014.

"Just address me. I am a leader, and I am responsible. For friends who have been hurt by his heart and my constituents, stay patient. Let's give the government a chance to make our country great," he wrote ending his heart via Twitter account @Sbyudhoyono, February 18, 2016.
