Thanks for elaborating it Faisal_sak. Pass my bedtime on my end. Just to add, that the Saudis need to break the ice to come to terms with the 21st century and not with the Islamic year. Yawn..

To jetset24.There are some theories why they didn't do any protest. 1.They're radicalist which will consider anything done by Arab means justice. 2. Related with no.1, they're a bunch of stupid and low level educated people which will accept anything done by Arab means the right thing. 3. They only interested by pornography and porno action which they enjoyed and consumed so much, so they just aware about this (a typical of low level educated people which only interested by sex matter) 4. They cannot fight againts their donor, their source of fund. Just my opinion.

Rankin - sadly the World will never know what the truth is and just how much provocation was involved.

Did this maid have a history of commiting violence? If not, why would she do such a terrible thing? Was she provoked by bad treatment and abuse by her employers over a long period that drove her to this? Did she commit this act while her mind was unbalanced? Was it premeditated? And most importantly, did she get legal council and her own defence lawyer during the court procedure? Did she even know what was going on?

Personally I think that if their was an injustice on the part of the Saudi courts and justice system, being alive would have carried the hope of putting it right. Unfortunately she is dead.

I'd like to comment TGIF point no 3 below. Islam started, and as far as I know, all the phropets rised in Arab because the people there is so much arrogant and barbaric. Maybe God knows that if these people can be tranquilized, then the rest will much easier for the other race of human on earth. Just an opinion.


The Saudi Arabian government has apologized for not notifying Indonesia prior to the execution of Indonesian migrant worker Ruyati bintu Sapubi, who was beheaded in Mecca on Saturday.

State news agency Antara reported that Saudi Ambassador to Indonesia Mohammad Amin Al Khayyat apologized on behalf of his country during a meeting with the Indonesian Foreign Ministry on Monday.

"He has conveyed his assurance that such thing will never happen again in the future," the foreign ministry's spokesman Michael Tene told the Jakarta Globe on Wednesday.

Ruyati bin Sapubi was beheaded on Saturday for murder conviction after she confessed of stabbing her female employer with a kitchen knife on Jan 2010. However, the execution took place without prior consular notification to Indonesian representatives in Saudi Arabia. 

Al Khayyat was scheduled to hold another meeting with the ministry on Wednesday, where the ministry will give him an official letter addressed to Saudi's foreign ministry.

In the letter, the Indonesian government protests the execution and asks for greater protection of Indonesian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia as stated in a memorandum of understanding and the “Mandatory Consular Notification Agreement. The ministry also asks the Saudi government to return Ruyati's body to Indonesia for burial.

Foreign Ministry officials was set to depart to Saudi on Wednesday night to settle the payment for Darsem, an Indonesian migrant workers facing the death penalty for murder.

The victim's family has forgiven Darsem and according to Saudi law, she has to pay Rp 4.7 billion ($545,000) to the victim's family.
