Those are harsh words. Although I don’t always agree with his views, Rais is one of those politicians who -occassionally- have an open mind.
There is some truth to his comments, the Indonesian government is full of corrupt officials (note: NOT ALL officials are corrupt) – who are only concerned with building their personal wealth.
Corrupt officials are everywhere, in every government, in every countries, but undoubtedly Indonesia is in the top 10 list.
Not something that I can be proud of as an Indonesian.
Not all. Only 99%.
This is the beginning of many regions of Indonesia will secede like Timor-Leste today in year 2000 until the latest time in this year, because of Indonesian Islamic imperialism, tyranny and result to be Indonesia as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Many regions will secede from Indonesia is the Singapore while Republic of Indonesia is really the Malaysia.
The voice inside rais’ head: “If you can’t be the president, bash him / her, smear him / her, bring him / her down, etc”.
I’m not one of SBY backers “” but I do think he’s not such a bad guy, he’s just godam slow, sissy, self-image-obsessed, etc “” , and much less that fcking Kalla, and even much less that mango faced Bakrie.
It’s just my opinion toward that rat faced Rais.
Karlira Kanakahuko: “Indonesian Islamic imperialism”? how can you say Indonesia is an Islamic imperialism if Indonesia is not even an Islamic country? Indonesia is a secular country based on javanese culture. pancasila was built upon javanese principles, not Islamic ones.
those corrupt government officials which had ruled Indonesia all these time might be Muslims, but they don’t represent Islam. they represented themselves, and their greedy stomachs.
Comparing Soeharto to SBY, Soeharto is more tactical whereas SBY being more academic tends to more timid. I could smell most officials would put in a more favorable report to secure their position in cabinet. What must we consider that, neglect to be concise.
