Roadblocks?

These thugs must be check for their mental block.

There is definitely something wrong with them.

They are waging war with Malaysia for all the WRONG reasons.

Imagine the brewhaha that would ensue if Malaysians went sweeping KL for illegal Indonesians. Do these idiots doing this even think for a minute about the consequences their ill-conceived actions might have on their fellow citizens abroad?

I am so sorry to say that this just increases many peoples opinion that Indonesia is slowly but surely slipping into a completely lawless state. It appears to start at the top, where the actions of many of the countries so called elite, are not limited by decency, conscience, or law, in a quest for money and power, and is rotting downwards through the whole fabric of society.

Good God! I do hope the authorities will do something about it, before someone gets hurt. I do have Malaysian friends working in downtown Jkt & who are here with their kids & families. For God's sake! Is a dance, or song or a kue worth a man's life ...?

Congratulations Indonesia ! The clown's resignation is really good riddance to bad rubbish. Indonesia would fare much better without such a clown in SBY's cabinet. I believe KPK should take a serious look into his dept.

I don't know whether to cry or to laugh when I realised that promotion for VIY 2008 was actually done in 2008 itself when it should have been carried out at least 2 years earlier to be effective and expect results. But, what to expect from a minister whose name is already zero? Let's not talk about vision of which he has none.

His reckless comments on Pendet dance was to be blamed for all the current havocs in bilateral relations with our closest neighbour. When we should be welcoming some 2 million Malaysians who would be spending some Rp5 million each while here, our very tourism minister was the one shooing them away with his damned remark. Realising that he for sure wouldn't be in SBY's favour for his zero performance, he chose to resign and becomes a DPR member. By the way is there no better place for rubbish?

And, this 'Bendera' fools... well, only fools would act the way they did... they are being fed and sheltered for free at that former political party HQ. After they have failed to pressure Mahkamah Konstitusi to annul SBY-Boediono's win, what else can they do to justify their existence there? The only thing left is of course try to show some light of 'patriotisme' to give some false justification and continue to exist.

Believe me, majority of Indonesians are not like them. We didn't hate Malaysians. We are proud to note that our common culture heritages are being enjoyed by our brothers of the same stock worldwide.

Oh God the Almighty, please, save Indonesia from such clown and fools !

I am very sad to hear of these guys behaving like thugs, hitting out at Malaysian citizens whilst the police did not arrest them; what would happen if a Malaysian, whether a tourist or someone here on business or someone working here get hurt or worst, killed ? This would then be an international incident & may spark off something bigger & Indonesia would then end up being branded as a country not just being targeted by terrorist but street thugs who hunt down innocent Malaysians. If these street thugs were to hit out at the Malaysian military, I could understand as they are civil servants of the Malaysian government, but to hit out at just ordinary Malaysians who have nothing to do with government policies, these guys are no better than the terrorist themselves.

I have so many Indonesian friends here who condemned this action and hopefully the Indonesian authorities will act accordingly before it is too late.

Indonesia is a lucky country and has such a good leader in President SBY and Bodieno, and I hope to see Indonesia progress on with good relationship with their neighbouring countries.

Too bad for you, this clown has already resigned! Didn't you hear of the mess he also made on the excavations in Bajang Batu?

Just to fill you in a little of what happened. Bajang Batu is one of the temples discovered in the Trowulan, Mojokerto East Java archeological site believed to have been the capital of the Majapahit Kingdom.

Jero Wacik became a target of of public outcry following reports on the damage to some of the areas underground relics as a result of haphazard project constructions.

He saw the writings on the wall and resigned to get a seat in the DPR. Poor fellow indeed, as otherwise he'd be out of a job.

If they do such a thing in Kuala Lumpur, I believe that they come up full-handed.

Do they have gut to do that ?

I have to laugh at the 'lack of mentality' shown here. Why on one hand continue to promote 'Malayasia, truly Asia' on the TV and on the other hand have dark aged vindicators on the streets of Jakarta.

Look what happenend the last time you tried to kick someone from your Country.

All i say is get on with your lifes and treat your fellow Muslims with the same respect.

I'm all about standing up for my country, but really? A roadblock? 1st of all, let me say, Muchtar Bonaventura and his group, you've acted like a group of thugs in some traditional market. Do you really think by attempting a sweep for Malaysians, all the problems between the two countries would magically disappear? What good a roadblock would do? Seriously, what good has it done?

2nd, despite there was no Malaysian during your raid, I'm pretty sure, many Indonesians were upset and annoyed with your act. Didn't you have the slightest pang inside, knowing you've provoked some concerns among your fellow Indonesians?

Again, unless you turn out to be a highschool drop out punk-slash-thug, I believe you're all grown up. Try to deal with issues like a grown up. There is always a better option, there is no need for any provoking menace.

You fight in the name of culture, well, how about trying to be a cultured man first?

WebEd: On the 5th of September, you mentioned the name MUSTAR Bonaventura. In the penultimate para of this report you mentioned MUCHTAR Bonaventura. Have we two Bonaventuras around? One was enough, and he made me puke!

Is this group associated with the once famous FPI? Somehow, they behaved themselves (FPI) this time around, and maybe not?

Regretfully, our policemen are all living in glass houses.
