“I congratulate Drs. I Gusti Ngurah Indra Kecapa, M.Ed. and Ir. I Wayan Pasgun in carrying out new duties. From bureaucracy ethics aspect, every change should be accepted because every responsibility bears burden. Every person has ups and downs but we have to think positively. Every goods in people have amount of ­90% to 95% and the rest of 5% makes the difference. In order to make everything better, being cooperative and supportive in every activity are the way. Try not to do anything risky and contradictive which might be not good to everyone. Therefore I encourage to all parties in doing every activities later to be carefully aware of risk-management such as letter of statement availability,” said Dr. I Nyoman Suyatna, S.H., M.H..
