ID raids that include slaps<\/p>\n
The chief of North Jakarta Public Order Office, Tonny
\nBoediono, made a forced entry into a house in the Pejagalan area.
\nHe slapped the owner of the house, who happened to be a Chinese.<\/p>\n
Boediono became angry because the man spoke rudely to his
\nsubordinates, whereas they were only asking him to show his
\nidentity card.<\/p>\n
That was the excess in ID raids conducted by the Jakarta
\nadministration last Tuesday. Fortunately the violence was
\ndiscontinued, as each party agreed to make peace and regard it as
\njust a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n
Almost every year, after the festive season, newcomers come to
\nthe capital city to try their luck, as they have no jobs in their
\nvillages.<\/p>\n
The upholding of law that includes slapping can be interpreted
\nthat the government takes stern measures only against the common
\npeople. This unfriendly attitude is a marked contrast to how the
\ngovernment treats those who have refused to pay their loans
\nrelated to central bank liquidity support or those suspected of
\ncorruption.<\/p>\n
