Forum: Efforts to unseat Sri Mulyani

Sri Mulyani for president!! She's the greatest living Indonesian. This story is just further proof that people like her should be supported.

If there is one person in Indonesia that is valiant enough to defend the state's fund, it is her. And she may be the only person in the Cabinet who can competently differentiate between politics and business as not all business can be transformed into politics and not all politics can be made for business. It is individuals such as Sri Mulyani that make Indonesia worth living for since for she is the only living fence that separates the public interests from the private interests while others tend to blur them altogether. Keep up the good work Sri Mulyani! IRWANSYAH

This is a confusing country that the one clear and good person in public administration will loose to the rich people who have everything.

And about being nationalistic -- they do not give their money to the state but are still asking that state money collected from the people and poor people that has bought expensive goods be given to the rich by asking for a bailout? NUGROHO ARI

Govt denies Cabinet cracking -- Oct. 23, p. 1

If Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati is pushed out, foreign investors will leave Indonesia and never return. Certain people think Indonesia is nothing more than their business subsidiary and they need to grow up. If they cannot manage their own businesses and their personal affairs, why should the Indonesian people bail them out. Most Indonesian businessmen do not invest their own funds in Indonesia, but use borrowed money to pay for their equity and also from the foreign investors. They have only a very short view of their own country and are not serious in a long-term investment. Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati is one of the best lawmakers in Indonesia, and she is one of the few real lawmakers working for the people of Indonesia. The whole world knows this.
