The govt and individuals are spending too much money on national celebrations like new year or festivals. I will agree with this statement with two reason answered why.
On the one hand, the Government spending too much money in low priorities. The Government Not only spend to national celebrations that not impact the societies for the long term but also spending money to the wrong hand. For instance, they increase the salaries of DPR (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat) yet in the same case the Nations has problem to handle poverty and also less job demand. Therefore, the Government should consider more strategically to spend money because there are many problems that we have to focus in high priorities
On the other hand, Individuals also have to consider for their expenditure and spend wisely. The job is very hard to find and also the economic getting fluctuated like the price got extremely high and hard to predict. For example, they spend money to music festival that is not really important for the future so its better for them to spend money that can enhancing their soft skills or hard skills. Moreover, they should remember that the economic not stable at all so it is to risk for spending money without thinking about the advantages.
To conclude, the Government should know the priority for spending money and it has to priorities their societies needed for long term not only in the short time moreover the Individuals also have to consider to spending money on their soft skills or hard skills.
