Slowly but surely, without the authorities and people recognizing, Indonesia is becoming a future Iran. Mullahs will rule the country and Indonesia's wonderful culture will disappear. What is bad about entertainment?
What is bad with Indonesia's heritage of uniting different cultures of the 15,000 islands. History cannot be deleted, unless by violence, as it was and is in Iran. Be careful, Indonesia.
Keep your freedom. Once you lose it, you will never get it back again.

Former RI envoy -- Aug. 27, Online
I read this article with tremendous happiness, on seeing that justice is being served. There have been plenty of stories of the awful corrupt practices committed by the Indonesian Embassy staff in Singapore.
I experienced their corruption firsthand back in 2004 when I needed to go there to prolong my children's Indonesian Visas. They demanded I pay at least three times the official rate, otherwise I could not get them.

FPI members flooded streets -- Aug. 27, Online
Are FPI members intellectuals, scholars, religious teachers or thugs? The latter is likely. Perhaps the next leader of the country should come from a majority party in parliament so no time will be wasted trying to appease other members of the coalition, which may include religion-backed parties with a questionable agenda. Why can't the government get rid of FPI?
