A "must read" for every Indonesian with a conscience...

Present Day Jakarta

The answer is: in ‘democratic Indonesia’ there is no accountability. There is none; zero, zip! Corruption is endemic and the citizens have no mechanism to organize protest (obsession with the social networks like Facebook is mainly for status reasons only, as well as for empty chat: even the murder of people of different believes by hard-line religious cadres does not bring ‘educated and middle class’ people to the streets).

It feels that the entire nation, including its capital, gave up a long time ago. People are living their lives in this monstrous megacity, not even bothering to demand, to protest or to complain.
