Comments on other issues: Officials '€˜may have'€™ used high-class prostitutes

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama - JP/P.J. Leo

May 13, Online

Jakarta Governor Basuki '€œAhok'€ Tjahaja Purnama said many government officials and councilors may have paid for high-class prostitutes, whose services go beyond what their salaries could cover, through illegal means.

'€œIf they can pay high-class prostitutes, then they must be corrupt, or are taking the high-class prostitutes as bribes from '€˜bribers'€™,'€ Ahok told reporters at City Hall on Wednesday.


Your comments:

When this news came to be the most discussed topic for a few days, I was really hoping to see some politicians be exposed for having bought/accepted these high-class sex services/bribes.

High-class sex services are paid for by people who got money from bribes or illegal payments/corruption earned without sweat or without pain. It is equal to demonic money paying demonic whores.

High-class sex services are usually paid by dirty government officials, regents, district heads, dirty businessmen, members of mafias, parliament members, etc., who gain money without pain which usually occurs in countries like the US, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, etc.

Top politicians and government officials usually never pay for prostitutes; it is mostly as a gift (gratification) from businessmen.

A long time ago when I was living in the darkness, I myself witnessed this practice many times.

One time I saw top businessman in this country organize a gathering for officials, each official accompanied by two beautiful ladies from a modeling agency.

These ladies'€™ jobs were to accompany each man at a private villa and to make sure that he would feel young, fresh and powerful and ready to sign anything.

If you watch The Wolf of Wall Street, that kind of happiness also happens in Indonesia.

Once again, sexual morality is preached non-stop to the ordinary people, while the supposed cream of society behaves like tomcats: horrible double standards.

I suspect that '€œcelebrity'€ life is pretty much the same the world over. TV creates instant celebrities whose faces and other body parts become known to millions. The problem is these untalented people cannot make money being just celebrities so they end up selling the only thing they have, their famous bodies: Life in the electronic age.

I am pretty sure you need to qualify that statement about celebrities renting themselves out with a source for this information. Who is doing this, who says they are doing it?

I am not saying I know this information is wrong '€” but you need to provide a reference for your information (unless it is very well known to be true) or else you are just making a baseless statement.

Something'€™s definitely up here, people, and I'€™m certainly not referring to whatever it is that Rp 80 million may possibly buy for a '€œshort time'€ service either!

Time to keep one'€™s eyes carefully peeled for some major issue or scandal that may be try to get slipped through the cracks and glossed over while the public'€™s attention is diverted by an enthrallingly titillating juicy sex scandal.

Call me a cynic if you will but this just leaves that kind of fishy tang hanging in the air.

In regards to this publication the amounts of money paid for a three-hour pop were between Rp 30 million to Rp 200 million.

There is something wrong here, and all the women should be registered with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and report the males especially government employees.

In the publications to date, they all talk about who the women are but there is no mention of the males '€” this is not right.
