Watch your tongue

When I was listening to Radio 68 Jakarta on the morning of Wednesday, July 8, a member the House of Representatives Commission investigating the Sukhoi issue explained to reporters that trade minister Rini Soewandi was involved in the deal.

He used the words biang keladi and biang kerok, condescending Indonesian words mostly used to denounce common criminals, to describe the actions of our honorable minister.

I think he should apologize to our minister for making this slip of the tongue. The reporters who heard his words did not even make a comment.
