Selamat datang ke Indonesia Today,
Tolong menikmati para post yang baru. The Asian African Conference is scheduled for next week and Jakarta is sparing no expense to make the city presentable - or secure. If only those thousands of cleaners and police could clean up the real muck - corruption. If you've got the stomach to follow the impenetrable twists and turns of Indonesian football, check out why the Ministry of Sports is being threatened with FIFA sanctions. There are two main leagues - the ISL and the IPL and the 'official' league switches from year to year with constant disputes over legitimacy.
In another corruption story, the KPK 'witchhunt' is still in full swing and despite concerted attempts by corruption suspects and the National Police to undermine the institution's standing and authority, the KPK just arrested one of my least favorite politicians, Suryadharma Ali, from the Ministry of Religion, on suspicion of embezzlement. Who would have thought?
Happy Paskah - lebih baik terlambat daripada tidak sama sekali!
