He should have done it much earlier. however, it is still not too late for him to resign. This brave step should be followed by many Indonesian officials who don't feel any burden and shame even if they have already become the suspected. I am mostly proud at Japanese govt officials who are willing to step down just because of trivial things. No wonder if Japan can be one of the strongest country in the world.
