Time for Blame Game

Malaysia has dashed our hopes by thrashing us with 3-0 victory on Sunday in Bukit Jalil, Malaysia. Despite laser beam incident, they have played a good game, while our team not in their best performance. Then to whom must we blame on? We direly need a scapegoat now.

Indonesia vs. Malaysia

George Orwell: serious sport … is war minus the shooting.

It has never been like this, we look forward to the soccer final with great expectation. If you see our TV, the Indonesia's team goals footage is aired repeatedly. AFF Cup is nothing more than regional competition which is less prestigious than Asian Cup not to mention World Cup. However if you have no achievement for a long time and once you get it again, then it will be mesmerizing occurrence.

Indonesia’s Got Talent

At last all we want is the mission is accomplished, the goal is achieved, and the target is done at all cost and by any means.

The Rise of Smart Government

In terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Singapore has outstripped Malaysia. Even though Malaysia is more democratic than Singapore. In terms of various economic performances China is the best in the world and on the way to catch up the world's largest economy, United States (US). And US is the democracy guru with glamour presidential election compared to Chinese single party clout. Surprisingly, we see the non-democratic countries outperform democratic countries. What's wrong with democratic country? Is democracy still the best idea to run the government? Or is there any new alternative replacing democratic system?

Mr. President, Intervene Now!

One thing I hate much about our president, SBY, is that he doesn't want to intervene the legal process. He said that as if he can do nothing against the bad guys corrupting our legal system. He let the 'system' limit Anggodo's case not to spread out to other corrupt legal officers. Now he will do the same to Gayus' case. After taking the helm for six years, he shows us feeble leadership.
