em>Your comments on the verdict against former Bank Indonesia (BI) deputy governor Budi Mulya, who was found guilty of graft in his involvement with the controversial Bank Century bailout in 2008, the decision for which was made with others, including Vice President Boediono:
How coincidental that this verdict is so close to the end of Boediono's term as vice president.
I sense a conspiracy.
Jose Christie
The decision to bail out Bank Century, taken by Budi Mulya and others including Vice President Boediono, has been found to be wrong and counter-productive to the nation.
It should not be tolerated and should be prosecuted accordingly. It is simply stealing money from our people!

I want to thank Vincent Lingga for writing the View Point article in The Jakarta Post on July 20.
Amid all the posturing and shallow politically tainted invective around the Bank Century bailout, it was comforting to read such a measured and balanced assessment.

At least he gets to keep the hundreds of thousands of dollars ' and probably a lot more than that ' he stole from the investors and small depositors.

I pray that when Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo finally becomes president, and as a 'man of the people' and a former small businessman and governor of Jakarta ' who knows firsthand the destructive influence of corruption by lawmakers on Indonesia's economic progress ' that he will immediately initiate new reforms and credible checks and balances to rein in the unbridled greed of the country's elites; all the way from the very top, right down to the most menial public servant in the most isolated reaches of the archipelago.
