   He should be more concerned with the internal mafia’s which are allowing such things to happen, as a retired Rear Admiral, I am sure that he cannot be unaware of AL’s part in smuggling huge amounts of illegal timber out of the country! Perhaps he is pissed because nobody has included him in on the deals?

   Peace

   Chinese have imported drugs to Indonesia (that’s what I was taught in University of Indonesia). Westerners have imported prostitution (in fact the dutch tried vainly to eradicate it). IMF and US and the Zionists are trying to destroy the great Indonesia economy. And now a pseudo foreign mafia, so pathetic.

   Hey, the all world now knows who you are and what you are worth. No need to hide behind such lies anymore you Indonesian!

   What’s next?

   He noted that recently two large ships from China were caught stealing Indonesian fish in the Arafura Sea.

   There’s that semut and gajah again. Australia has a problem with Indonesian fishermen bringing their boats sometimes within sight of land and many Indonesians think it’s so unfair that they should be arrested.

   Hmmm, sometimes the traditional fishermen aren’t using gps so they might not know they’ve tresspassed the other country. But this China fishing matter is different, they’re too far from home.

   Granted, I for one am quite critical of how the Aust. govt handles the Indonesian fishermen who happen to stray just over the line – after all there are no road signs. But plenty of then are coming closer and closer, because the waters are increasingly fished out back where they used to fish, that people on the shore can see the Indonesian flag on their boats. They know what they’re doing.

   Even so, the principle is the same no matter how big the difference in boats, technology, or distance from the homeland.

   Maybe we should back to traditional fishing, the fishing rod wont tresspass other country.
   But it’s so strange why the Indonesian fishermen should make a high risk by fishing near border while there’re much fish being stealed that clearly show many fishes in inner sea.
   Maybe they’re lacking for long range capability ships.
   Stealing but being stealed, sad but true, ironic.

   “Hmmm, sometimes the traditional fishermen aren’t using gps so they might not know they’ve tresspassed the other country”

   In the vast majority of cases they are, and not fishing for their villages. Traditional vessels (i.e no GPS etc) are normally turned around not apprehended. However in many cases that not possible as the vessels are floating death traps.

   With less than 6% of Indonesia’s reef’s undamaged, it’s little wonder fisherman are forced further and further from home.
