   Clearly. Just been going over a lot of testimonies from the dark days of the East Timor occupation, and its painfully obvious that there was a severe culture of impunity in the security forces under the OB. Though their record has markedly improved in the past decade, clearly there’s still some ways to go.

   you really think most people are going to dismantle their make-shift wood planks peacefully without asking for some compensation they’re not entitled to if the satpol pp talk to them nicely ?

   Well, I’m glad Brother added a Smiley to his ‘socialist’ tag on my posts. I’d never have lived it down otherwise.

   But I honestly don’t believe he’s right to say that the Jakarta powers-that-be think they are going to pressurise the under-bridge dwellers to go pulang kampung, or that the pressures are aimed at discouraging new in-comers from the outback.

   If I believed that, I wouldn’t get so angry, but in truth I think many of those bloated. idle city councillors, and most of their counterparts elsewhere in politics here, simply don’t care.

   To clarify, I think the authorities want them out of their bridge locations, but only to shove them somewhere less visible. It’s an embarrassment thing.
