June 22nd, 2009 at 10:26 amI don’t care who is elected as long as it is not SBY…… I have been living here for 4 years and Indonesia isn’t getting better…….
As for the achievements that VP JK has claimed for…. well they are true (correct???) SBY as president only signed for them where as JK did the hard work.
As for human Rights??? How about the rights for 40 Million voters that didn’t get to vote??? I am sure many of you had family or friends that didn’t get a chance to vote. Funny thing is, me being an expatriate got an invitation……. This did not happen in 2004. Yet it has been said that in 2004 was the most democratic, clean, fair election of all………
How about the natural disasters from the beginning of SBY time??? The falling apart of Indonesian military??? Indonesia in debt more and more so the government can subsidised for the needy?????

June 22nd, 2009 at 2:35 pmBefore 1997 currency crisis, interest rates in indonesia was too high, forcing local businesses to borrow in USD and other foreign money. Similarly in Malaysia and Thailand, although interest rates were far higher in indonesia.
The result was a full fledged currency attack, which caused the downfall of suharto, and the takeover of indonesian assets by foreigners forced upon by IMF, in return for USD40 billion in loan.
More than ten years later, similar story. Interest rates are still too high and businesses are taking loan in foreign currencies, making them susceptible to currency fluctuations. INDOFOOD being the latest victim.Any President/govenrment that can stabilise currency fluctuation and lower interest rates thereby decrease inflation and cost of doing businesse, which should benefit the consumers/citizens, should get the vote.
So far, nobody has come up with this formula.

Hey Rika,
Cite your source please. Esp regarding Prabowo. I need it for many reasons. I’m voting, and I’ve got a paper to do on the topic.
Much appreciated.

There’s considerable evidence that he orchestrated the initial violent demonstration outside CSIS. The subsequent riots, though, were not likely something he personally orchestrated.
But this is small beans compared to the still unanswered questions about East Timor and Aceh.

June 30th, 2009 at 10:35 pmOh, and the official inquiry hardly “cleared” Prabowo. It concluded that KOPASSUS “likely instigated” the May 1998 riots and “recommended the court-martial” of Prabowo.

July 1st, 2009 at 3:28 pmMawan,
the fact that in indo the chance for businesses to be success is much lower compared to many other countries such as US, australia, etc… i saw the statistic that compared the business risks in many countries and it shows that in indo the business risks are much, much higher compared to many countries (including thailand).
I totally disagree. The chance of small businesses to be success in Indonesia is actually quite high compare to the US, Thailand, etc. The statistic obviously ignoring the fact that the competition level in Indonesia is quite low and thus plenty of space for new businesses to grow; we don’t have multinational companies like Wal-Mart who constantly monopolize the market and wipe off small businesses here in Indonesia.
What scarce off the foreign investors is in fact the political risk rather than business risk. Investors mainly from develop countries will find it out of the ordinary when they encounter KKN, security issues, and the dumb people who put “Haram” label on everything that’s too complicated for them to understand. Indeed, Indonesia is more than suitable to start small business but not big investments (which is apparently opposite from what we need)

July 2nd, 2009 at 2:44 pmPrabowo himself admitted that he was responsible for the kidnapping of activists in 98. Cynically, he said, “under some governments this would be called preemptive detention”. Face it, Prabowo is anything but clean.
Regarding 1998 incidents and background I recommend reading Marcus Mietzner’s book: Military Politics, Islam, and the State in Indonesia: From Turbulent Transition to Democratic Consolidation
