Let's get the party started
That's what the bos of Lapindo brantas, Indra Bakrie, tried to sing some lyrics of Pink's Get the party started, last night, when he held the wedding party for his doughter, Adinda Bakrie, married to a Businessman from Singapore, called Seng Hoo Ong. The party cost billions rupiahs for sure, and was nominated as the gorgeous party ever in Indonesia, held in Mulia Hotel Jakarta. Everything so luxurious, start from EO, party concept, till the guess invited. Exactly, great people were coming to town, including President, Vice president, officers from many institutions and celebrities, with maximum security. Doesn’t matter at all, since Bakrie family never lack of anything, though involved in great case like mud disaster of Lapindo Brantas. Adinda’s uncle Aburizal Bakrie was nominated as the richest man in South East Asia, version Forbes Magazine on May 2008, with the wealth about 50 trillion rupiah. It’s impossible that the wedding party of richest man in South east Asia’s Niece just like usual party. How embarrassing. We’re talking about pride, Buddy, not humanity. Who cares with the mud victim outside there, fighting against future’s uncertainty. It’s simply a destiny? Ah, wish Adinda Bakrie want to marry at KUA stands for Kantor Urusan Agama, Chamber of Marriage in Indonesia, then it cost not more than a million rupiah. This wedding news must be hurt the mud victim in Sidoarjo, indeed. Just like scratched by nails of tiger or lion or eagle. [Oops] Moreover, for those who not included in impacted area maping. Wondering why, How dare…Where it lost the real carracter of Indonesia people, who used to be so helpful, kind-hearted, now turn to sio individualistic and materiallistic. It’s just simply look like biggest play, silly plot and uncertain ending. What a two-tumbs-up director, both the director and the viewer are drown in perfect amusement. Hehe well-done, Bakrie….
What a wonderful world ...

Democrazy cost more and more
East Java [Indonesia] had just held a big party, The Gubernatorial Election 2008", exactly on Wednesday, 23rd, followed by five pairs candidate, Khofifah Indar Parawansa - Mudjiono , Sutjipto - Ridwan Hisjam, Soenaryo - Ali Maschan Musa, Achmady - Suhartono, and Soekarwo - Syaifulloh Yusuf. More than 29 millions people voted. Unfortunately, 39% of them din’t, so called Abstention. Why? Because of some reasonable reasons such as, not included into the voting list, outside area, until have no intention to vote, since they pesimistic that the candidates won’t bring East Java into the better future. However, the election went smoothly, with minor election violations. Based on the result of Quick Count from Lembaga Survey Indonesia, the first place was pair of Soekarwo - Syaifulloh Yusuf (26,99%), followed by Khofifah - Mudjiono (25,37%), then Sutjipto - Ridwan Hisjam (20,94), pair of Soenarjo - Ali MAschan Musa (18,87%) dan the last was pair of Achmady - Suhartono (7,84%). Too bad, five pairs candidate couldn’t reach more than 30% vote. Under the law No 32 2004 , the second round should be held 60 days after the vote, followed by pairs in first and second place. Meanwhile the manual result will be informed around August the third. Practically. The first spent Rp. 600 billions rupiah of Election budjet. And now, The Election Commission should prepare budjet for the second round election, about 225 billions rupiah. Just imagine. In the uncertain of today’s condition, many billions rupiah spent only for the gubernatorial election. The democracy of this country needs a great sacrifation. How Useless, since many people seems don’t care about who’s the next leader of East Java. Let’s check the people participation in gubernatorial election. It’s only 60%, while 40% was abstain. In fact, the leader of East Java should be Abstention, hehe. Democracy or I should just called it as democrazy in this country, is not more than just candidate promises, banner, thousands brosurs everywhere, include not in an appropriate place , silly campaign with long march in the main street causing traffic jam. It needed a huge budget.
