In term of the wealth distribution, in my opinion, we should focus on nurturing and protecting our small and medium size company, so we can try to avoid South Korea current condition, in which their conglomerates growing can not afford to trickle down their wealth efficiently into the mass population.
The education system in South Korea seems to nurture their Chaebol businesses by creating submissive workers only. Some thing that I fear happening in Indonesia in the future by implementing tough education system which lack of analytical skills practice and Independent mentallity. Too much learning at school will make students get lesser time to learn and study something that they like at newspaper or books, two important source in which we can learn from the best and study different view and opinion regarding one particular topic.
Too much time under school institution will make follower mentality into the student brain, and best thinker are also not at school teaching them, best thinker can only be found at books, newspaper, CNN, and others. Dont forget about silly conversation at FB as well.
I respectfully disagree with your statement, our education system IMO is already one of the most lax in the world. Our students rank 2nd from bottom in problem solving skills (PISA). I remember studying from singapore's math textbook, man the A-level problems were so difficult compared to ours!
And yet when our govt put algebra into primary school curriculum, parents protested!
I guess being competitive is discouraged in our "kekeluargaan" culture, where "individualism" is branded as "western" and "foreign". I dread what will happen when ASEAN integration come into effect.
I hear a story about an IT company closing its factory here and relocate to malaysia, because they can't find 500 (!) IT engineers with actual, real knowledge, not just a university degree.

Balikpapan (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian navy (TNI AL) has sent four ships to patrol the northern waters of East Kalimantan.
KRI Kakap 811, KRI Pulau Rengat 711, KRI Birang 831, and KRI Suluh Pari 809 are ready to patrol and secure the Indonesian Archipelago Sea Lanes (ALKI) II, which includes the Makassar Strait, waters of Sulu, and those of Sulawesi that border Malaysia and the Philippines in the north.
"Right now, our primary focus is on protecting our fishermen and preventing foreign ones from poaching fish in our waters," the chief of the naval base in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Colonel Ariantyo Confrowibowo, said here on Saturday.
Foreign fishermen from various countries located north of Indonesia enter ALKI II or exploit the Indonesia Exclusive Economic Zone (ZEE).
The colonel explained that foreign fishing vessels stay outside Indonesian territorial waters during daylight hours or when they are being monitored. "But as soon as night falls, they enter our waters and start poaching fish. This is one of their methods of operation," he added.
Confrowibowo stated that the foreign fishing ships are usually large and use thousand watt lights to attract fish. This leaves Indonesian traditional fishermen, who do not have such facilities, with no fish to catch.
The foreign fishing vessels also use fishing equipment, including trawls, which are banned from use in Indonesian waters, the navy chief noted.
In view of that, he remarked that the TNI AL could understand why the new minister of fisheries and marine resources was furious over the situation and had threatened to burn and sink the ships if they were caught entering Indonesian territory.
