em>Your comments on the prolonged dispute between Jakarta Governor Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama and the City Council as the council wants to investigate the alleged irregularity of the city administration for submitting a draft budget to the Home Ministry without the signatures of the council's leaders:
Do not be afraid to fight the corruptors. The more we are afraid, the braver they are in pushing their interests!
Fight them. Take the bull by the horns!

I think removing Ahok would make the recent events in Indonesia just about perfect.
When following an underperforming sports team during one of their periodic disastrous seasons where seemingly anyone can beat them (as I unfortunately do), there comes a point where the farce starts to become comical to the extent that you actually will them to fail further and laugh in amusement at every point scored against them.
It may be just a coping mechanism, but that is how I feel about Indonesia right now.
Loro Blonyo
Ahok needs this support but it's not worth anything now that the teeth of KPK have been knocked out.
The findings of the new KPK are not going to be in Ahok's favor. That's a forgone conclusion.

The submission of the 2015 city budget by Governor Ahok to the Home Ministry was done without approval from the Jakarta City councilors. The submission violated laws and regulations and this carelessness allowed the councilors to exercise their right of inquiry, which could lead to his impeachment.
The councilors' threat of exercising the right of inquiry in response to the governor's odd budget was serious and embarrassing, but it revealed the councilors' mistakes. Now the public knows that there was an abuse of hundreds of billions rupiah involving Jakarta councilors.
Experts gave advice to the governor and his subordinates that they should improve their political communication skills with Jakarta councilors in order to resolve the dispute between him and the councilors.
The media suggested that Ahok invited the councilors to lunch to settle the dispute.
But the abuse involving such a huge amount of money caused a great loss for the country and this has been revealed to the public. It seems that the fresh commissioners at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) are in for a great deal of work.
