Lively Day

First of all, if you “lucky” enough being an indonesian and watching an afternoon news you may and certainly will find news about people wrongfully and unjustly became victims of biased and imperfect laws.
Sometime I read digg and found out these kind of cases cause public unrest and anger. But here , it’s just an afternoon news . Something that make you have the same reaction when hearing the news about accident in some railroad or some flood in southern Jakarta.
Here are some of that kind of stories that I watch in yesterday news :
1. Despite of resenment of some fans , Indonesian singer Ariel peterpan was charged with immoral conduct as public figure, alledgedly distributing inapropriate video and could face 12 years in prison ( well FYI you could kill or rape people in broad day light here and serve only 4 or 5 years or even walk out free if you did it along with angry mob )
2. Three widows of national war heroes got evicted from their home despite two of them were lying in their sickbed. The house were granted to them by the government years ago and for some reason the legality of the grants were in question by the current government .
3. An elderly lady was evicted from her house by the court because she lost the trial over the house ownership, the irony was the man who filed the suit over her house turn out being a conman. He forged the paper and her signature and were sentenced four month in prison. And for unknown reason the court still evict her for the lawsuit.

That is just one day , maybe someday I’ll try to take note of this kind of stories as I was saying that these kind of thing happen in daily basis.

May God have mercy for our sins
