Politicians in confusion

Politicians in confusion

From Koran Tempo

During this transitional period, which will end when Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) is installed as president, many politicians have become concerned about finding safe places to hide.

It is generally known that SBY is a figure whose course of political thinking has yet to be identified. We can only pray he will remain true to his words.

If this is so, then the first 100 days of his administration will be devoted to law enforcement -- and this will be a serious threat to our politicians. It is public knowledge that corruption practices involving the state's funds begin with these people.

So now, rather than allowing SBY and Jusuf Kalla to herd them into courts of justice, these politicians may pretend to show their goodwill by pointing out dens of corruption. In fact, it may well be the case of a thief calling thief.
