   Muladi is a clever guy and would make a good politician. But in Indonesia we put clever people like Muladi in “think-tank institutions”, and amateurs at the MPR for the supreme task of deciding the nation’s future.

   Obviously intelligence is an optional requirement for someone to be a government official. We need more people like Muladi (hope he actually walks the talks) in our goverment, but swimming againts the current is obviously a dangerous thing in Indonesia.

   Dimp especially if you are not a strong swimmer. Then you will just drown.

   If Jusuf Kalla really said those things then good on him.

   Religious freedom for everyone. Don’t let shariah law control this multi-religious country (Islam is the majority but not the only one), that would be a backward step to the country. Shariah law is applicable to Muslim only, not for everyone. Let us keep freedom and democracy safe, we achieved it struggling against the former Soeharto regime. Don’t let democracy die with the implementation of sharia law as obligation to all.

   He ended, in an Asian values fashion, by reminding the students to just get on with their studies and avoid demonstrating.

   What are Asian values that he is talking about? Is it a value that neglected the freedom of speech/ freedom of expression? Is it really an Asian value or is it another justification to violate the most fundamental right of every human being?
