Medal for a trouble maker?<\/p>\n
From Sinar Pagi<\/p>\n
Surely every significant achievement deserves appreciation.
\nSomeone who has done a great thing should be honored in whatever
\npossible manner. But I find the recent medal presentation by
\nPresident Habibie something incomprehensible.<\/p>\n
Some controversial figures who are now still a subject of
\npolemics concerning the Bank Bali scandal and considered a source
\nof all sorts of troubles in this country, were conferred with the
\ncountry's most prestigious medals by President Habibie. How could
\na medal be presented to a person who had no right to receive it?
\nSo I view this as no more than a Habibie political maneuver.
\nAlternatively, Habibie is being pushed around by his advisors so
\nthat he continues to take insensible actions.<\/p>\n
We should not forget the late Thaher case. He was honored as a
\nhero by being buried in a heroes cemetery, but later he was known
\nto have been involved in a criminal issue. What a contradictory
\nstate of affairs!<\/p>\n
