Hey, Brits! Palestinian ‘Mujahidin’ Aim To Dwell Among You!

Palestinian asylum seekers who set up refugee tents in front of the residence of Minister of Defense (Menhan) Prabowo Subianto, Jalan Kertanegara, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, claimed they no longer wanted to stay in Indonesia.

They just want to get out of Indonesia and move to England…Omar asked to be flown from Indonesia to England…

Lucky Olde England!

Jakarta Facing Another Fanatic Friday – and Thursday…and Besok?

Besok is Indonesian for tomorrow, but is often used like the Spanish magnana,  anytime soon!

However, the fanatics here in Jakarta have been more specific, with the official spokesman of the ‘Alumni 212 Brotherhood’ declaring that we can expect traffic disruption not only on Friday, but also on Thursday and even tomorrow, 26 June.

They are angry about the fact their favourite, Prabowo, lost the presidential election and aim to protest the court ruling on the outcome.

In case anyone imagines the ‘Alumni’ are in any sense an educational outfit, they’re not. They are extremists, not merely hostile to President Jokowi, but also, largely, if not completely, directed by Islamists.

Indeed, the spokesman mentioned is none other than that paragon of enlightened tolerance, Novel Bamukmin…

“The peak of the action will be Friday 28 June, “ he told the media, but “ it’ll be every day, 25, 26, 27 and 28th….”  https://www.tagar.id/tak-hiraukan-prabowo-pa-212-dan-gnpfulama-demo-di-mk

You’ll notice today’s date is included, but since I have only been as far as my local warteg for lunch…

…who knows how downtown may be?

Even so, my bus journey yesterday was disrupted by hundreds of security personnel preparing for trouble outside the  court, so it’s hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

What’s most annoying is that the date of the verdict announcement is no longer Friday but Thursday, but the fanatics like their Friday fun.

Most of them don’t seem to have work to go to, so the decent majority of the capital’s citizens, who do engage in honest toil, just have to suck it up, while ranters rant on.

Prabowo Faces Jakarta Post Quadrennial Gibbering!

And off we go again, an outstanding display of double-standards by the Jakarta Post, which re-hashed its long-winded explanation from four years ago on why it is anti-Prabowo and pro-Jokowi!

We are encouraged that one candidate [Jokowi] has displayed a factual record of rejecting faith-based politics. At the same time we are horrified that the other [Prabowo] affiliates himself with hard-line Islamic groups who would tear the secular nature of the country apart…    https://www.thejakartapost.com/academia/2019/04/09/we-may-ruin-our-incredible-democratic-achievements-since-1999.html

The Jakarta Post unequivocally deplores religious thugs who forward an intolerant agenda.  

Oh yeah?

How often does it get thus HORRIFIED at involvement with such unspeakable people?

…..

….

Has the JP a consistent record of being ‘HORRIFIED’ by people who collaborate with religious thugs who forward an intolerant agenda?

Regular readers here at RRA will remember the infamous Nazi-style book-burning in Jakarta, sponsored not only by the most backward Islamist fanatics…

…but by Indonesia’s largest publishing empire, Gramedia, of which, last I heard, the Jakarta Post is part.

That was a Hitlerite atrocity against free expression.

If the Jakarta Post, even so late as this election eve, now condemns its Gramedia overlords, then perhaps they may be forgiven the sin of selective indignation.

Prabowo Disavows Califascism – Now How About Vigilante Gangs?

Interesting to read that the self-styled ‘Defenders of Islam’ in the FPI apparently were on the receiving end last week.

….but let’s not overlook one small part of the report in the Jakarta Post.

The scene of the clash was the FPI premises in Jogjakarta, which, we read, is the HQ in that vicinity of Prabowo’s presidential campaign team.

Oh! But is that just a local arrangement?

Hardly!

Their ‘grand imam,’ Habib Rizieq, whom we used to feature here a lot, prior to his decision that it was more prudent  to take up residence in Saudi Arabia…

…..,

…..

…who has in the past seen no shame at having a cheery photo taken with the fanatic.

Prabowo recently, admirably, disowned any intentions of collaborating with those crazies who want to impose theocratic caliphate tyranny on Indonesia.

Would it not be very welcome, and very reassuring, to everyone who cares about Indonesia’s future as a pleasant, pluralist, peaceful place to live in, if he were also now to disown the apparent support he’s receiving from Rizieq and his white-shirt gang?

And just to show I am being even-handed ( and I am genuinely neutral in this year’s election) would it not be even more welcome and reassuring if BOTH presidential candidates…

Rizieq, far-left, shares a platform with President Jokowi

So Has Indonesia Come To This? Paradise Lost?

….before Wednesday’s vote, were to make a JOINT declaration, making it clear that they want nothing to do with the FPI and/or its exiled (self-imposed exile, remember) ‘Grand Imam!’

And pledge never to legitimise Rizieq’s extremism by sharing a platform or allowing him into their presence again.

 

 

 

 

 

Jokowi in Jakarta – The Best Man Won!

Returning by taxi late last night from posh Kemang (yes, I’ll go anywhere for a party!) I naturally engaged the driver in conversation, asking him about Jokowi’s knock-out victory in the Constitutional Court –

 

– I’d got fed up waiting for the seemingly endless speechifying by the judges so only had the barest outlines when I hit town in the arvo.

—————–

I had spotted a 52 bus (route Tanah Abang – Bekasi) travelling along by Slipi, miles off-route,  so had deduced conditions were not ‘conducive’ (as the media here like to put it) up by the court-house.

It was he ( the cabbie, not the President-Elect) who told me about the shooting  ( one guy taken to hospital, condition unknown, he said) and today’s news suggests there may have been more than one injury – not surprising, when a mob of thousands attempts to storm a major institution.

Let’s put the blame where it belongs.

“It’s OK For US to Mobilise a Mob of 50,000 – But Our Opponents…Provocation!” 

Whilst I’d been buying some shirts in the Ramayana sale, and later joining friends for an evening of cheery chat, wine and excellent food (impressed that a fancy hotel included my fave warteg food, perkadel – which they exotically labelled ‘potato cakes’) the riotous scenes played out, but the police did their duty and the verdict, welcomed by most people, I think, was announced.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

• Now let’s wish Jokowi well.

He does not project a tough image, which Prabowo did.

But arguing late into the night with anther party-animal who was in no rush homewards, I said that his record as Jakarta Governor belied his mild demeanour.

Let’s not forget how his ‘raids’ on local outposts of government scared the bureaucrats to tears, near enough, caught out napping, idling or not even present while honest citizens waited for attention.

Idle Slugs Caught Out Again? Go, Jokowi, Go! 

And he stood firm against the bigot morons who were gunning for Susan, the local unit head, on seist and sectarian grounds.

No, he won’t work miracles. And he will say and do things some of us won’t like.

But he is no arrogant elite snob, nor a clapped-out soldier with an alarming past and he has not aligned himself with undesirables.

Mostly.

I wish him well.
