People blame government for that, and some government officer blame villager "Why they lived on that area ?"
In the past, that reservoir was larger, then became smaller after many people live there.
Local govt has a plan to relocate them, but I think maybe is hard to do. Almost in every disaster, survivors refuse a relocation and want to back again.
That disaster was happened just 13 days before Parliement election. Many political parties came and gave aid to them. Of course under their 'flags'. A reported said "Those political parties are looking for sympathy".
I Hope when money aid come, no one fight for that. Fight for aid after dissaster is oftenly happens. This is a reality in Indonesia.
You right Mayza. Disaster always happens in Indonesia. This is because many Indonesian people damaging nature. Maybe those disasters are 'Nature's fury'.
Assalam Mr. Aridanto,
Every time I watch the TV, more people are found dead and homeless people are living off donations. These scenes not only make me sad, but also mad. Yes, they have been complaints about the dam since 2 years ago, but nothing was done. If you watch al-jazeera, there was report on how many 'Situ' there are in the jkt/bogor area (more than 140, if i'm not mistaken) and only 21 of them were repaired. Please watch al-jazeera for confirmation.
Btw, Mr. Ardianto, do you know who are consulting the repair of the dams.? Let's welcome the Dutch. Yes, ironic, isn't it?
the blame game is on. Now it's the people's fault, huh? i bet these same people pay for PBB taxes, hence have the right to live there. I'm sick of excuses. And if these areas are forbidden to be made in residential area, just kick them out. kok gitu aja repot? But money talks, if you know what I mean?
They will fight over the aid money, if any should be given. Same old story, mr. adianto. I have this theory about how politician think. "Lebih baik mencegah daripada mengobati" is a famous indonesian saying. But in reality, "lebih menguntungkan mengobati daripada mencegah".
It's not 'nature's fury', but human greed and stupidity
Well,this is indonesia for you. what more can i say?
