Law only for ordinary people

Law only for ordinary people

From Warta Kota

Four of seven treasure hunters who allegedly dug up the Bogor
Botanical Gardens have been taken into custody by the Bogor
Police for violating the cultural heritage law.

If this law applied to all citizens, Minister of Religious
Affairs Said Agil Al Munawar should have also been held
responsible for allegedly ordering the excavation of treasure
believed to be buried at the Batu Tulis archeological site in
Bogor some time ago.

For the sake of upholding justice, it would only be proper if
the seven suspects who were recently arrested received the same
treatment as did the religious affairs minister.

Are the suspects being detained because they are ordinary
citizens? If that is the case, then the law indeed only applies
to the man on the street. Quo vadis, our nation?
