Government of neglect

Fifty-five people died of hunger, and instead of finding the core of the proble, our beloved government is busy correcting that NOT fift-five people haved died, it was less than that number, and that NOT ALL have died of hunger. Some perhaps of dengue, some of malaria, or other diseases.

SO WHAT???? Fact is, people died in number, of lack of health or nutrition. It's the government duty to protect their people and give them basic necessities, which are health and nutrition among them.

This government has been doing 'tambal sulam' job for God know how long, nobody really cares about long-term achievement or commitment. When you have only five year rule as minister, president or whatever, you have only that long to enrich yourself with the people's spoil. Oh.. five years is pushing it, actually. If the president says that he needs to reshuffle, so perhaps that five-year honeymoon will be over soon.

And let's touch the subject of those tuan in the DPR, tuan-tuan yang terhormat di DPR, who, for the fear of the people they represent, they build such a high fence. For what? To protect their Mercedeses, BMWs, Volvos, Audis, or Jaguars. They are paid hefty amount, get free house - all expenses paid, got 'tunjangan' for whatever it is they need to (supposedly) doing their duty. And yet what I see is the most disgusting picture I've ever seen: empty chamber, with view participants who are either dozing or busy talking with each other... when they are SUPPOSEDLY passing a new law or something that will affect they live or the people that they SUPPOSEDLY represent. The caption said that the "attendee list" have around 100 signature on it, yet the actual attendance are a joke. And they get paid too for SUPPOSEDLY attending. That picture makes me sick.

This is a sick country. The people running it are sick. The people living in it are sick (literally) - of pollution, of lack of nutrition, of the fomaldehyde they eat in their food, of carcinogenic compounds the find in their food container, of poisons and heavy metals they drink in their water, of lack of everything that constitute decent live. And yet, those tuans are driving their 200mio Rups cars, living in ther 1 billions Rups home, sending their kids to 25thousands USD a year school out there in snowy Boston or sunny Los Angeles. They wed their kids in a party that consumed 1 billions Rups, while those people in the street are making barely 1 millions rups per month.

Fifty five people have died. More to come, I believe. Of heartache, of live pressure, of not being able to simply survive as decent human. No dignity, no freedom.. what the point of going on living?

Long live the governemnt, whose neglect have caused as those deaths.
