Celebrity goes politics

Here come a time where celebrity (movie actors, singers, entertainer, etc) jump up to politics. They nominated themselves as vice governor, vice chief of regency, etc. There are already works as member of parliament.

What this all about? Popularity can get more voters. A common people is easily to spot someone popular that they’ve seen them on tv, heard in a radio and famous by the cheap-nasty rumours kind of things.

In term of capability, are these celebrities competent? That will be challenging, only time will prove it. Most of the celebrity that nominated looks smart, or at least they dress to look smart. Looking smart is one things but understanding a people need is different things. All politicians should (in a ideal world) listen and understand what people need, and then help them by resolving their problems. Poverty, lack of educations, unemployment, criminal and a lot of others things.

The questions: how do they know about all those problems if all they do only entertain the audience. Their work is to please people by watching their acts, and now they have to please a lot more people by doing a real works to solve a bigger basic problems. Can they do it ??

Money to giveaway

On the following year, indonesia will have a presidency election. The incumbent and all the political person already start to reach voters. Last week i read a newspaper put a headlines news saying that the vice president give money to the farmer while inspecting them. The irony is the farmer complaint about the raise of fertilizer price.

What the f*@$ he was doing. There is no good example of solving problem. Give a money will sure cheer up person who received it, but surely do not solve their problem. I think he tried to get a sympathy and at the end of the day to get more voters.

I am disagree for what he was doing, instead of giving them money physically it is way better to asked them and discuss about how to solved or at least minimize their problem. Then follow up to the authorize party to make them works and applied.

Surely the problem can not solved in a day, but at least a step to work on it already start. It only need another effort to make it done. Please mr. vice president be wise, just work and people will see what you’ve done, don’t waste your money. Give us a real effort and prove that you’ve working hard to get this country better, and then I will gladly vote for you for the next election. If you want my sympathy just do that, i do not need your money

Tell the truth and keep the faith on that

Not all people want to hear critics from other.
Self criticism is not exist …i think
Sometimes we have to tell someone, or even slap on their face if necessary
Tell them with many ways that possible
I don’t have to please everyone
The truth should have been told

Each person should upgrade themselves
Today should be better than yesterday

But at the end, all the goods and the bad are up to each person.
If they want to change for the better, that’s good
if not, oh well their loss then.

How we honour our former leader

On the last recetly weeks, all the television run the hour to hour report about the former president of Indonesia. He is ill, but the media very eagerly to see the former president death (unlikely?) but yes, because they already sent their other staff to cover the location of semetary, in case the former president is really dead.

There is also on going trial process of this former president that accused to be guilty for mismanage the foundation that illegally funded their own family business.

There is a controversy whether, the state should forgive (and forget) the former president corruption, so the trial should be stop, and let the person to rest in peace. Also the family will not be put on trial if the president already passed away. Or the court should go proceed the accusition until final penalty whether he is guilty as charge or not guilty ( a free man, and the state should rehabilitated his name ).

If I am in charge, i will say, just proceed the trial and let see what is the result. It is essential to settled the trial until finish, and do not interfere. We better to do the trial –even the accused person is ill– than just waive the case. The accused have right to know whether he’s guilty or not. If we do not do the trial, it become never ending conversation about the former president’s case, and that is not good for both, the state and also the family of the former president.

The only way to honor our former leader is to give them a proper justice. And let the court decide.
