"Teruskan!"SBY is the winner of this year's election. He gains about <57% vote, Mega gains about 28%, and Jusuf Kalla gains about 13%. As expected. The amusing part will come in few days. Starting from Prabowo who was interviewed by MetroTV and said that the election was far from democratic when Mega-Prabowo supposed to win in today's election. Will Megawati and Jusuf Kalla made a similiar concession speech like McCain? I bet they wont, they would probably victimize themselves, telling the public there are lot of violations here and there during the election, and they will ultimately say "SBY is supposed to lose". ...

Vote for starbucks…. err… the Presidents8 July is the election day. I will definitely vote because I couldn't be ignorant about this matter. Election is serious business. If choose not to vote, it means I'm closing my eyes and neglecting my country. I'm sure I'm the only one being indevisive. Many of my friends say they might not choose at all. Business retails apparently well aware of public's high apathy in this election. They are giving these following bribes intensives if you care enough to vote: Continue Reading...

Antagonising the “non-Jilbab”Yesterday I went to Plaza Senayan with some of my friends, there was poster campaign posters outside the plaza everywhere, and yes, I saw a lot of these uncivilized supporters (I think it consisted of PKS and Demokrat) littering road with waste. That's the last thing you want to after they made traffic jam anywhere in the already crowded city. Now to my surprise, there are campaign poster especially directed to moslem voters such as this (big size): Continue Reading...

Megawati vs FacebookAs reported in the last post, the "say no to megawati" fan club was closed, and kompas reported it has reached 97.177 supporters. This opens another chapter of Megawati vs Facebook drama, I saw this group at my profile, another reincarnation of say no to megawati group. For counter measure, there are similar other pages incase certain party requested facebook to remove the group: - http://www.facebook.com/pages/SAY-NO-TO-MEGAWATI-CLEAN/75037256474 - http://www.facebook.com/pages/KATAKAN-TIDAK-UNTUK-MEGAWATI-SOEKARNO-PUTRI/63668177367 - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Say-No-To-Megawati-for-Presiden/93427306717 - http://www.facebook.com/pages/say-no-to-megawati/89400621816 The number of people who joined in the last 24 hour was impressive: April 7th 2009, 2:01 -> 6,059 April 7th 2009, 6:33 -> 7,025 April 7th 2009, 7:48 -> 8,016 April 7th 2009, 8:34 -> 9,003 April 7th ...

Anti-Megawati Group was closedThis is not too surprising, despite the increasing freedom of speech in our country, there are times when democracy clashed the interest of elite politicians. I wasn't surprised the Anti Megawati facebook group was closed in less than 3x24 hour. Last night I checked it reached around 96,000 supporters and probably has reached 100,000. The google cache's snapshot was made on 6 April 2009, 20:16:53 (GMT+7), and it had reached 90,171 supporters. If you take a glimpse to that snapshot, it's pretty understandable why the group eventually closed. More vulgar and unethical comments were posted by irresponsible users, and might lead ...

Say Yes to SBY @ FacebookThis is pretty much related to my previous post of anti-megawati club @ facebook, and here I found another interesting group (which potentially turn out into a meme): Say yes to SBY! as the title implies, this is group made by SBY's supporter. The member is currently about 6000 when I posted this on my blog, but I expect there will be a significant rise soon. What makes this phenomenon should not be ignored is the fact there are approximately 1.3 million users of facebook from Indonesia. This is an alternative approach to see the grassroot opinions on our upcoming election. Anyway, ...

Anti-Megawati Club @ FacebookNational election is currently the main topic in Indonesia with so many nominees among unknown, people getting confused about whom they should pick for their legislative member. Put it aside, there is refreshing, amusing news about Megawati, the candidate for president from PDIP, who also served as President of Indonesia from 2001-2004. It's natural for opposition party to criticize the government, but it seems people has started fed up of unconstructive critcism, some might also consider this as hypocrisy. Megawati has several times criticized the government of the BLT (Bantuan Langsung Tunai, cash aid for poor people), but in recent campaign, ...

Petra Odebrecht: First German-born Candidate for Indonesia’s House of RepresentativeUS has Barrack Obama as its first Kenyan-descent Presidential candidate, even for America, his candidacy is still something unusual. It's not very often for people with mixed heritage to find his way to government, especially for these who still inherits distinguished physique. Now I'm still wondering why newspapers haven't covered this news. Apparently we might encounter similar situation in our country, meet Petra Odebrecht, the first german-born candidate for our House of Representative. Much of this post translated from this site, since I couldn't find any site about her written in english. Petra Odebrecht born a German, 41 years ago in Hamburg. But ...

34 Partai Untuk Pemilu 2009Saya rasa tidak perlu banyak bicara. Kekhawatiran bahwa partai yang lolos terlampau banyak menjadi kenyataan, seperti yang saya tulis berbulan-bulan sebelumnya. Pada tahun 2009 kita akan memiliki 33 Partai yang akan mengikuti pemilu (kata surat kabar sih 34, tapi yang di KPU baru 33 tuh). Menurut saya ini indikator adanya pertarungan kepentingan yang amat parah di perpolitikan lokal kita. Saya sendiri masih belum memutuskan mau mencoblos calon dan partai yang mana, yang pasti sih saya mau memilih calon yang minimal S1 dan sebisa mungkin bukan dari militer. Yang agak saya sayangkan, sebagian besar partai tersebut tidak memiliki homepage atau minimal blog yang ...
