Jakarta Govenor Sutiyoso was visited by the Australian police recently whist in Aus, and ooh gosh. Now people in jakarta are protesting.
surprise surprise.

me thinks the protestors mostly are paid a few rupiah to do things like this.
and after all , the guvna is such a saint, not only from his illustrious army exploits, but his recent and current exemplory dealings with management and social responsibility of the jakarta populous.

all praise the jakarta govenor for his urban planning, social conscience and open government excluding corruption, nepotism and ..etc.

nothing like a good protest to make the poor and ignorant forget that the person they defend actually poops on them daily.

can i say "poop" on this forum?

yet aother case of ssdd (same sh#t, different day). i know this kinda stuff goes on and on and on .... but we really have to appreciate that these people are between a rock n a hard place. theyve been 'pooped' on for so long, they either have just got accustomed to previous governors doing it (bar a great guy called Ali Sadikin; the longest ever serving governor.)





, know wats going on n can do nothing about it or simply, in turn, 'poop' on whoever THEY can. its so sad.
Yes, I'm confident too that these people were lobbed a few 100,000 rupiah bills to get out there. Jakarta = No change

If you watch the TV news regularly you will see the same faces waving placards and shouting slogans in E Jakarta that were doing the same last week in W Jakarta and the week before were burning tyres in front of whatever embassy they were paid to picket. I believe the going rate is Rp30-50,000 per head, less for schoolkids.

The Australian Government has already apologised over this incident which makes me ponder why!? The great unwashed who chanted offensive slogans to Australians in front of the embassy which was only bombed less than 3 years ago makes me wonder who should be doing the apologising. Australia has bent over many times for these guys and given a pile of money and get nothing but cheap shots in return. Time to show some pride and rethink the balance of this relationship.

Yes, it amazing, how quickly the supposedly dis-organised rabble organise themselves so quickly to protest at the latest insults. They get their banners prepared, flags in order, a large group of simarly aggrieved persons on the scene, even TV cameras are waiting for them. Efficient!

They're not called 'rent-a-mob for nothing. I was amused that the governor felt that the Premier of NSW had 'over apologised' and a three page letter was not really necessary.

I wonder if anyone apologised to the families of the reporters who were lined up and shot, then burned a few times to destroy the evidence and a mock burial held.

I agree beef that we shouldn't be too harsh with our criticism of Sutiyoso's general leadership (we should let his people judge him for who he is) but his sheer arrogance towards the Australians who were following the law as is applied in their country requires comment.

Indonesia has long argued that Australians shouldn't comment on their law as it is the sovereign right of their country but as soon as the law in Australia is applied the Indonesians display their usual hypocrisy by sticking their bibs in. Remember Papua?

Oh and today I read that an Indonesian National received 20 years for trafficking 955 kg of shabu shabu. This is the same sentence received by Shapelle Corby for trafficking 14 kg of marijuana. Fair??

Good point Beefer. I am sure the Guvna is responsible for many illustrious deeds.

Such as....

Do all your posts inevitably revert to insults, if things dont go your way Beef Burger?

Sad indeed.
