Reflection #5

Indonesian history is pretty interesting. It's a long and varied hardship through oppression, liberty and lies. I guess most countries have some sort of mix like that though. I think the future has to catch up with Indonesia's past. For example, over the past few weeks there's been things about Soeharto and how he's "getting away" with things because he's pretty sick. Some people are a bit uppity about him getting away because he's ill - but realistically, you can't put someone on trial if they are on their death bed! Some people support him, but I wonder if they would support him if they knew the truth about how he came into power. I doubt many Indonesians even now would know how he really came into power. That's really sad. It's like generations of people being lied to here, they just don't know it. But I wonder if people knew about the cover up, Indonesia would become a better place. I was having a conversation with someone yesterday who said that Jakarta would have to be blown up just for Indonesia to repair itself. That's pretty huge.

I think the whole reformasi thing that happened in the 90's was a good thing though. At least there are little bits of reformation going on, like Bu Indra said there was a deregulation of media or something like that. (Although I'm sure the Government still regulates it a little...) I guess it's got to be one step at a time, especially when there are plenty of wrongs to right.
