These thugs must be check for their mental block.
There is definitely something wrong with them.
They are waging war with Malaysia for all the WRONG reasons.
Imagine the brewhaha that would ensue if Malaysians went sweeping KL for illegal Indonesians. Do these idiots doing this even think for a minute about the consequences their ill-conceived actions might have on their fellow citizens abroad?
I am so sorry to say that this just increases many peoples opinion that Indonesia is slowly but surely slipping into a completely lawless state. It appears to start at the top, where the actions of many of the countries so called elite, are not limited by decency, conscience, or law, in a quest for money and power, and is rotting downwards through the whole fabric of society.
Good God! I do hope the authorities will do something about it, before someone gets hurt. I do have Malaysian friends working in downtown Jkt & who are here with their kids & families. For God's sake! Is a dance, or song or a kue worth a man's life ...?
Congratulations Indonesia ! The clown's resignation is really good riddance to bad rubbish. Indonesia would fare much better without such a clown in SBY's cabinet. I believe KPK should take a serious look into his dept.
I don't know whether to cry or to laugh when I realised that promotion for VIY 2008 was actually done in 2008 itself when it should have been carried out at least 2 years earlier to be effective and expect results. But, what to expect from a minister whose name is already zero? Let's not talk about vision of which he has none.
His reckless comments on Pendet dance was to be blamed for all the current havocs in bilateral relations with our closest neighbour. When we should be welcoming some 2 million Malaysians who would be spending some Rp5 million each while here, our very tourism minister was the one shooing them away with his damned remark. Realising that he for sure wouldn't be in SBY's favour for his zero performance, he chose to resign and becomes a DPR member. By the way is there no better place for rubbish?
And, this 'Bendera' fools... well, only fools would act the way they did... they are being fed and sheltered for free at that former political party HQ. After they have failed to pressure Mahkamah Konstitusi to annul SBY-Boediono's win, what else can they do to justify their existence there? The only thing left is of course try to show some light of 'patriotisme' to give some false justification and continue to exist.
Believe me, majority of Indonesians are not like them. We didn't hate Malaysians. We are proud to note that our common culture heritages are being enjoyed by our brothers of the same stock worldwide.
Oh God the Almighty, please, save Indonesia from such clown and fools !
Dozens of people belonging to an anti-Malaysia group briefly attempted an intimidating road-block and ID check to identify Malaysians along a busy Central Jakarta street on Tuesday, but came up empty-handed.
The operation, initially planned for an hour, only lasted for thirty minutes, but witnesses said the action managed to raise tension as activists stopped drivers and asked for their IDs.
A road block was erected directly in front of the central post of the anti-Malaysia group, the Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat (People’s Defense of Democracy) in the vacant former headquarters of a political party.
The sight of men carrying sharpened bamboo sticks was more than enough to raise concerns among those who were stopped.
The group also distributed small Indonesian flags and tied red and white scarves, the colors if the country’s flag, around their heads and at the ends of their makeshift weapons.
Police immediately closed off the segment of the road where the roadblock was erected and redirected traffic through Cikini, while dozens of police watched on guard from afar but took no apparent action.
Muchtar Bonaventura, who claimed to be the coordinator of the group, said the sweep was held to warn the Malaysian government not to act recklessly against Indonesian citizens and to stop claiming Indonesian culture as their own.
Although they did not find any Malaysian citizens, Muchtar vowed to continue similar actions and even expand the operation to seek offices and houses belonging to Malaysians. His group has been virulently anti-Malaysian, and had even opened registration for volunteers to wage war against the neighboring country.
