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.
