Reap what you have sown

Reap what you have sown

From Rakyat Merdeka

Which is to be destroyed: Cendana or the Palace? From Rakyat Merdeka

When two elephants fight, a mouse deer will be killed in the middle, so people are fond of saying. The truth of this saying is increasingly visible to us now.

For one thing, it is interesting to note that members of the Cendana family have been summoned by police headquarters one by one in order to be interrogated over the disappearance of Tommy Soeharto, who has been sentenced to 18 months in jail. Wise men say that life is like a wheel. At one time it is in the upper position and at another time it is the other way around. So, don't complain when it is our turn to be down and don't be arrogant when we are in an upper position.

This saying is true in the case of the Cendana family. They have sown slander and it is now time for them to reap disaster. They are used to sacrificing someone else for their own interests and now they have the heart to sacrifice Tommy who serves as a shield for their now weak and old father. Hopefully, Tommy will not be found dead.

In fact, Tommy couldn't have escaped if the Attorney General's Office had taken quicker and firmer action. As things stand now, Tommy proves himself to be a coward. He has refused to bear responsibility because he cannot bring himself to face reality.
