Strange but true<\/p>\n
From Koran Tempo<\/p>\n
By the time President Megawati visited the National Tabulation
\nCenter for the 2004 general election at Hotel Borobudur, Jakarta,
\non April 7, the vote gain of the Indonesian Democratic Party of
\nStruggle (PDI-P) had risen drastically from 4.9 million votes at
\n1 p.m. to 18.2 million at 1:40 p.m.<\/p>\n
Peculiarities have been a common phenomenon in the Indonesian
\ngovernment, while something that proceeds normally may even seem
\nstrange to certain officials.<\/p>\n
Similarly, that some officials used forged diplomas, and
\nunusually lenient verdicts were handed down to corruptors is seen
\nas commonplace, requiring no argument.<\/p>\n
So, let us now make as many \"strange but true\" reports as
\npossible and send them to our government leaders, in order to
\nmake them aware that the \"common\" practices (corruption,
\ncollusion, nepotism, manipulation, empty promises, etc.) have
\nproduced devastating effects beyond our expectations.<\/p>\n
