Congratulation for your next second term as RI-1. I hope your next administration will give more attention in developing the land border area between Kalimantan- East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak).Indonesia community around this border area need your help and commitment to make this area more prosperous,so the tension between Indonesia and Malaysia whatever the reason in this area can be reduced. I also hope, if your administration (Department, Ministry, etc) make regulations, please use adaptation approach ( depend on area),not use standardization approach.

I hope that at this time, you will be better in dealing with so many issues that really need your attention.
Please give more attention to David Hartanto's case and migrant workers welfare, Sir. They really need your help.

Of-course, as expat who is married to Indonesian woman, I agree with Mr. Adrian Muhammad Lawson about the need for reform in the immigration law.
Likewise, many Asian countries were developed mainly by returned successful scholars who had studied and lived in the West. The current immigration law, is causing almost any Indonesian brilliant scholar who had studyed and became successful abroad to abandon his/her Indonesian citizenship. He/she will never come to live in Indonesia again because of the immigration law. Who is losing from this situation except of Indonesia??? Indonesia must recognize dual-citizenship for its own benefit. I see no adverse effect here.
I hope SBY will do whatever he can to promote English as language of instruction in leading Indonesian universities. As all of us know, much more updated knowledge is written in English than in Indonesian. If Indonesian government want Indonesia to continue elevate the capabilities of its citizenry, - it must invest in English teaching, and attract first class scholars to teach in leading Indonesian universities, all over the country. Every province should have at least one such first class university, instructing in English.
Medical treatment is awful across Indonesia. First class medical schools instructing in English, with best lecturers in the world will elevate the status of medical treatment in Indonesia, and may even attract investment in medical tourism to Indonesia.
I am very happy the Indonesian people show they have a strong memory, and the vast majority of Indonesians did not vote for generals with doubtful human-rights background.
Good luck, SBY, in your way to elevate the capabilities of the Indonesian citizenry.

Therefore, Not just rich people able to survive but the poor is as well. Thank u

The president elect now has a new chance to implement the Rule of Law further. Should he be in need of any assistance, then I will be happy to offer him my servcies as international prosecutor! The Netherlands owe something to the Emerald Archipelago.

Salute to SBY in gaining people's support to lead the country for the next five year. Before moving on, I think it is necessary to review moments of the campaign (your winning team, the ads), the debates, various comments from elites & opponents, people's voices, issues regarding electoral roll, etc to see what could have been done better. The feedback will be a good reference to run your administration.
