Leonardus Teddy Lukmansyah, is a vendor selling peanut
porridge in Pancoran Glodok, Central Jakarta:

I have run this business since 1971 which I inherited from my
father, who started the business in 1943. This business has the
potential to be big, because we are the only one in the city and
we have loyal customers whose numbers keep on increasing.

For the time being, it remains a dream because the existing
bank loan scheme for small and medium enterprises is only a hoax.
The banks will give you Rp 5 million (US$549.45) or below, but
nothing more. They will ask for collateral if you ask for a
bigger loan. So I have to apply for a housing loan to get the
funds to expand the business.

I will write to Susilo about this, asking him to see through
what is really going on regarding the scheme which is supposedly
collateral-free.

Adj. Sr. Comr. Anton Wahono, the Jakarta Police anticorruption
unit chief:

There is always the hope that the new government will renew
the spirit to fight corruption.

If the government motivates the drive, I hope the public will
be more inspired to report any corruption allegations and give
police investigators more evidence.

As far as the police are concerned, whoever becomes president
does not really matter as we, the prosecutor's office and the
anticorruption commission are the ones who are fighting
corruption.

Lilik Mulyadi, a judge at the Central Jakarta District Court:

As a new president, I think Pak SBY has the background and
networks necessary to fight against terrorism. He will be able to
do that. I'm optimistic of that.

From my experience in handling terrorism cases at the Denpasar
District Court before I moved to Jakarta, as a judge I had to be
creative to prove that a (terrorism) case was strong enough as it
was very difficult to prove. Collecting evidence was very
important and it should be done more carefully in the future so
there's no more terror activity in this country.
