Garudada, and other Malaysian or Indonesian nationalists, get a life guys.

Garudada, you are a provocateur and deserves no attention, and your comments are such an eye sore.

Your facts that Indonesia violates religious and human rights are one of the many bad things about Indonesia, and you stating that Malaysia ONLY experienced ONE social conflict is not a fact.

Malaysia over the years have battled with religious/social conflicts, especially among the Chinese and Malay communities. Namawee, the guy who sang a parody of your multi-racial country? One incident where your lawmakers told Chinese to get out of Malaysia? Also, the most recent one where a high school teacher of ethnic Malay racist remarks on a Chinese student? Religious tensions grew over the years too. Don't you remember the pigs at the mosque? And Church vandalism? Religious conversion?

In Indonesia, at least these are done by hardliners such as FPI, which Indonesians generally hate. In your country, lawmakers are the culprits.

So Garudada, it's your turn to get your facts right.

And one more thing, don't be a troll at Jakarta Globe. We have better things to discuss than Malaysia.

And unlike in your country, freedom of the press reigns in Indonesia. And that is one of the many good things that Malaysia doesn't have (vice versa)

Thanks.

Garu'gaga' (I like that one devine) is most probably just another alter ego for our very own, charming wongndeso, I assume!

Not worth at all to respond to!

Just a pity people with such a mindset do exist! But there's no sun without some rain in between!

Have a lovely weekend!

What Malaysia got to do with this article?? And this Garudala keeps popping up everywhere.

By the way, most people think of Malaysia as a country with right wing Islamic conservative parties, racism is rampant, no freedom of speech, democracy at the infancy stage...and that sodomy case which has been lingering for ever is a clear example of "je ne sais quoi".

What Malaysia did best was to educate their people and granting them scholarships to study abroad in the 80's...It did do the trick. They all came home and built the country but unfortunately the religious elements overshadowed the progress of democracy.

garugaga. Better you get the facts strait: 1 mio Malaysians visited Indonesia last year (= 1 Mio out of 27 mio population) and 2.5 mio Indonesians to Malaysia (=2.5 mio out of 250 Mio population). So a much higher percentage visits our beautiful country.

Jakarta Police are expected to question a number of expatriates as they investigate the death a teenage girl whose body was found dumped in a gutter in South Jakarta on Sunday.

The victim has been identified as Agnes Kharisma. She was 19.

Jagakarsa Police chief of detectives First Insp. Rusdi Dalbi was quoted by Poskota.com as saying that an autopsy showed Agnes had been strangled to death three days before her body was found.

Rusdi Dalbi said the killer or killers also raped and robbed her.

“Her family said that she had around Rp 1 million with her,” Dalbi said.

Jagakarsa Police Chief Comr. Sianturi, also quoted by Poskota, said he would question a number of foreigners known to be friends with the deceased.

The news portal quoted Agnes’ mother, Melly, as saying they last saw their daughter on Feb. 8. when she was about to leave the family home in Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, to meet her boyfriend, a 50-year-old American man known to the family as “Clark.”

“My daughter was alone with the driver. She sat in the backseat,” Melly was quoted by Poskota.com as saying. “The driver was a young man. It was the first time I had seen him,” she said.

Melly said the family had never met Clark.

“He always sent his driver to pick Risma up so we never meet him,” she said, adding they had sent his contact details to police.

Agnes told her mother that she would return to Jakarta on Thursday or Friday but she never came home and calls to her cellphone went unanswered.

Melly said Agnes had a number of friends, including a number of foreign men.

Before Clark, she was dating a Singaporean man named Candy, she said.

Her brother, Erlangga, said her sister was a very kind person.

“She always donated money to an orphanage because she already earned her own money,” he said, refusing to say what her sister did for a living.

“She’s a freelance, that’s all,” he said.
