Revenge on Ghalib

Andi Ghalib is a Bugis, and according to the Bugis tradition he is prone to siri. Basically this means that if he feels he has been insulted by someone and his good name has been besmirched, then he must exact revenge on that person. This he has threatened to do to Teten Masduki from the Indonesian Corruption Watch, who has exposed Andi Ghalib for what he really is.

Considering the fact that Andi Ghalib has quite deviously besmirched the good name of the Bugis people by his actions, it is only fair that the Bugis people rise up as a whole and exact revenge on Andi Ghalib. That would be a better use of siri.
