@jankren If you are a foreigner in indonesia you shud watch your back as you walk its streets, indonesians may attack you in numbers. Fuck you, shitbag!

"...We are better off." Andi was saying that with the background of an air-polluted city. As an Indonesian, I'm sad.

i was ashamed to see an indonesia's presidential spokesman talk like a guy who just learnt some complicated words of english and try to use it, but unfortunately he came with a bad arrangement of sentences, hardly-understandable...Dino patti djalal deserve more to be here, fadjroel should be replaced by Wimar Witoelar then :D

In my perspective, the way of Indonesian Party to promotes or campaigning their vision and mission is not educational to our citizens. as we can see in this video, the Parties used "Dangdut" music concert as their way to persuade citizens to select their representatives is way way off the goal of democracy, it is just to persuade uneducated people to easily select that party. not to educate Indonesian people to the real democracy.
