[votecinta4president]

[dztrbk]

its still under investigation.......

the reporter also reported some other people as well for vote selling....and it was hoax......

[Naskeleng]

Vote selling/buying is rampant!

Google: "Indonesian president's son in vote-buying row". This was reported yesterday and is the tip of a gigantic iceberg!!

Indonesia's corruption is causing the country and its people to suffer from terrible environmental/health and safety catastrophes.

I agree with You,,, Fajroel Rahman is an almost total looser. He's the only one who think that he's capable!!

[adiprima]

Fajroel rahman, failed to get enough support from Indonesian, now he went abroad to play innocent, while spreading negative allegations to indonesian. I know you are a politician, but how could you do such things, while other indonesian people abroad tried to spread more and more positive things about indonesia. Stupid Fajroel say things like poverty and inequalities, without understanding it properly. the US has larger inequalities than Indonesia, read books Fajroel, stop talking too much.

[groovymoi]

fajrul rahman has an agenda, he always dream that he could run as a young president. he just do not realize that Indonesia do not need only "young blood", but the people need someone who can run the country.

a little correction for meq4life:

ANDY MALARANGENG is a retard.. at least he looked retarded speaking in english.. his answer is totally (which is technically impossible to be TOTALLY inarticulate) inarticulate and wrong.. he makes Yudhoyono's government looks retarded..

Retarded? Really? Let's see you get up there and do his job. You are a student, be a student. Take notes, boy.

You know what's retarded? Calling other people retarded.

i dun know. its just officially the second biggest democracy, coz they're population is larger than indonesia. the first, india, is the biggest coz it has 1 billion people.

[bokep]

i think you can't simply said that the no of parties is represented the democratic terms...its better have several parties such as democratic party, religion party, left side party, right side party etc

so divide by how many categories of democratic concepts..if only 2 concepts of democratic so just 2 parties..i don't care about

[jankren]

How can the US be considered more democratic than Indonesia when there is basically only two parties?
