Many new findings have emerged, particularly at the hearing of defendant Rahardi Ramelan on the \"Mahakam scenario\". There was indeed such a meeting. In my view, the meeting was obviously a conspiracy, which was aimed at preventing the truth from being revealed. It was a deliberate cover-up. This, I should say, is against the law.",

Many new<br>\nfindings have emerged, particularly at the hearing of defendant<br>\nRahardi Ramelan on the \"Mahakam scenario\".<\/p>\n<p>There was indeed such a meeting. In my view, the meeting was<br>\nobviously a conspiracy, which was aimed at preventing the truth<br>\nfrom being revealed. It was a deliberate cover-up. This, I should<br>\nsay, is against the law.<\/p>\n<p>When reminded of the meeting, Akbar Tandjung simply replied,<br>\n\"I don't remember\", to pestering newsmen. Tempo magazine recently<br>\nexposed the meeting and those involved.<\/p>\n<p>This finding has made the public even more aware of all the<br>\nlies. Oddly, Akbar goes about his business as usual. People do<br>\nnot blame him directly, of course, but the facts already gathered<br>\nand the \"(I) don't remember\" answers he has made, leave the<br>\npublic with more questions than answers.<\/p>\n<p>If this country were to be headed by a forgetful leader,<br>\npolicies would not be based on the truth. In reality, however,<br>\nAkbar is now commenting on various other issues. Worse still, the<br>\nHouse of Representatives (DPR), with so many intellectuals, is<br>\nprepared to support such a speaker. It will now be very hard to<br>\nset up an inquiry committee. At the time of the first Bulog<br>\nscandal, when Abdurrahman Wahid was president, even though there<br>\nwas less money involved (Rp 35 billion, against Rp 54 billion in<br>\nthe present scandal), an inquiry committee was formed easily. Is<br>\nthe DPR practicing favoritism? Just get rid of politics if the<br>\nlaw is supposed to be enforced.<\/p>\n<p>SALMAN P.<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
