Is there really a 'Satrio Piningit'?

Is there really a 'Satrio Piningit'?

From Rakyat Merdeka

Some magazines and newspapers are now talking about a person (with heroic characteristics) entrusted by God the Almighty with the task of awakening Indonesia to become "The Great Indonesia". This person is called Satrio Piningit. In this world, there are only two countries that use the word "great" before their names: Great Britain and Great Indonesia (used as the title of the national anthem).

Now it seems that many people claim themselves as Satrio Piningit and, as a result, this name has become a valuable commodity which is tradable and often abused. The real Satrio Piningit will not profess himself as Satrio Piningit.

The man who is ordained as Satrio Piningit usually comes from the rank and file without ambition to be the one given the extremely heavy burden he has to shoulder.

In my opinion the mean person known by his initial "ST" is one who is bestowed with intelligence, abundant wealth and invincibility (one capable of paying up all Indonesia's debts with only less than five percent of his wealth).

The people who now profess to be Satrio Piningit are all bogus. To help the people out of this prolonged crisis, the genuine one will only step out if God has allowed him to.

This letter is meant to warn the readers against self- professed Satrio Piningit stalking for prey in this country.
