Vice-president Jusuf Kalla ranks 30th while Bambang Trihatmodjo is at 33rd.

In general Indonesia’s richest men have seen huge gains in wealth on last year, with their combined net worth rising to $938 billion, up from $575 billion in 2006, which Forbes says is due to strong equity values and healthy real estate markets, as well as the weak dollar.

    Lets hope he’s considerate and that he gives money to poor people on the streets.

    That should not be considered enough because what that does not belongs to him must be returned. He had made many tries like building houses in Aceh to show his philantrophy that ended up in all 204 units totally destroyed. The next thing he will organize a ‘give a beggar some money’ campaign.

    Ha ha…. that mango-faced Bakrie? Look what he did in Aceh: Hibah Beracun dari Bakrie.

    That’s what they call philantrophy? What a half-assed “philantrophy”, from an immoral person. Compared to Bill Gates? Hah… ha ha, bagaikan ngarai dan langit,

    My bahasa is terrible, I quoted from Kompas, someone please translate it for me ….
    This is just another one .. similar to si Abu story, in China if you commit corruption for only $1million – you will get death sentence penalty. Remember the Sanlu CEO with tainted melamine ? she was sentence for death penalty too, she is counting her days …

    In contrast, Indonesia ? from Rp. 4 Triliun becoming Rp. 444 Miliar , this is like robing the country Rp. 3.6 Triliun by only 1 person, and he is free … free … free …. ha ha ha , what kind of country is that ?

    JAKARTA, RABU — Gugatan Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani terhadap putra bungsu mantan Presiden Soeharto, Hutomo Mandala Putra, dinyatakan tidak terbukti oleh Majelis Hakim Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Pusat yang dipimpin oleh Reno Lestono, Rabu (11/2).

    Selain gugatan terhadap Tommy, keputusan yang sama pun diterima Sri Mulyani atas gugatannya terhadap sejumlah perusahaan yakni PT Vista Bella Pratama, PT Mandala Buana Bakti, Humpus, PT Timor Putra Nasional. Serta turut tergugat Amazonas Finance Limited. Kesemuanya terkait pembelian hak piutang BPPN oleh Vista Bella Pratama.

    Menurut majelis hakim, jaksa penuntut negara tidak dapat mengajukan bukti-bukti yang dapat membuktikan bahwa Tommy memiliki afiliasi dengan Vista Bella Pratama. Selain itu, para tergugat juga dinyatakan tidak melanggar hukum karena perbuatan tergugat dinilai tidak merugikan pihak mana pun. “Perjanjian pengalihan piutang tersebut atas dasar kesepakatan bersama,” ujar Reno.

    Gugatan ini berawal ketika PT Timor Putra Nasional (TPN) terbelit utang yang mencapai Rp 4,045 triliun dari Bank Dagang Negara dan Bank Bumi Daya. Kemudian, BPPN mengambil alih piutang TPN dari kedua bank tersebut. Lalu, BPPN menjual piutang atau hak tagih atas hutang TPN kepada Vista Bella Pratama, yang disinyalisasi milik Tommy, dengan harga miring, yakni Rp 444 miliar

    Is cross posting between thread allowed here in IM? This [deleted] DXP has the post above duplicated in various threads (see “Sukanto Tanoto” and “Causes of Disunity”). It must be the case that [deleted] DXP knows nothing of such “no cross-posting” rule.

  4. Why am I not in the list?LOL…I wish I could see my name in that list in the future or maybe I will just make my own list?hehehe…

    Dear Mr. Bakrie:

    We have some financial package as grant aid money for Indonesia. The Fund has been approved by United Nations, World Bank, IMF and et. al. So, if you want the fund to alleviate poverty in your nation, please feel free to contact me ASAP. Thanks

    “Aburizal serves as Menteri Koordinator, Jusuf Kalla as Vice President, Sutrisno Bachir is the Chairman of PAN, Zulkifli Harun of PAN is the governor of Jambi, Fadel Muhammad of Golkar is governor of Forontalo, etc. The list is growing.”

    Keterlibatan mereka dengan perusahaan sudah cukup mengadakan suatu penyelidikan terhadap mereka untuk mencari sejauh mana keterlibatan mereka.

    ? Iparnya SBY, Taufik Kiemas…., Tommy Soeharto dengan BPPC, dll….
