Politically insightful

The article written by Mr. Mochtar Pabottingi on the front
page of your Oct. 22 edition was one of the most politically
insightful and morally courageous articles I have seen published
on contemporary Indonesian politics.

It is figures like Bapak Mochtar Pabottingi that the nation
should look to for the next generation of leaders. Indeed, The
Jakarta Post editorial team should also be commended as it is the
inclusion of articles like this that is making the paper
essential reading for the foreign community.
