`Naturally, the crocodile will win': Fathir

JAKARTA: The phrase Buaya versus Cicak (crocodile versus gecko) has been in everyone's vocabulary amid the heated tug of war between the National Police and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Some say the truth will eventually prevail, but actor Al Fathir Muchtar has a different take on the issue.
The law of nature, or the law of the jungle, dictates that the fierce beast - the crocodile - will eventually win, he says. In a satirical tone, of course.
"It's quite a funny analogy actually. For me, it makes more sense to refer to sea crocodiles against fresh water ones," Fathir said, as quoted by entertainment newsportal Kapanlagi.com.
The 30-year-old actor known for his action movies regrets state officials spend more time attacking each other than doing their jobs.
Well, don't we all. He adds that aside from its negative impacts, the case shows the dynamics of life.
"The crocodile by nature usually wins, but at the moment, the gecko still has the upper hand." - JP
