Slowly but sure, all these public officers are being rounded by the police and KPK to Jail. We await the arrest of Ambassador Sudjadjatnan, currentlly representing Indonesia in the US, as he was the master mind behind the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore scandal, that caused $5 million of state losses. Aren't we ashamed to be represented in the US by some corrupt official that is suposed to go to jail? KPK bagaimana????
