If I Were Gayus Tambunan

[Al-Indunisiy]

By Bona Paputungan

11th of March
I myself went into prison
The Beginning of the time
Of my imprisonment period

Living in the prison
Verily hard it is to me
My body is thin
Due to my thought burdening me

We are merely a weak bunch of dudes
Have not any power for anything
Can not do much
Like that of the corruptors

If I were Gayus Tambunan
Who can be gone into Bali
All of his whims and desires
Surely can be fulfilled entirely

Funny thing about this country's
That can be bought are penalties
We're a bunch of weaker dudes
Having 'give-up' attitudes.........

Gayus disgusts me.

But he is a pawn that the political and business elites are trading to solidify their positions and jockeying for positions for the next presidential and parliamentarians elections in 2014.

Gayus is merely a "tax makelaar", what about all those parliament members and government officials (including SBY) who are actually squandering a lot of tax payers money for frivolous activities and spending?

The latest pawn is last sunday's deadly ahmadiyah attack.
I was attending a private roundtable discussions on the subject of religious radicalism last november, and a high-ranked guy at an influential big muslim organization told us that he'd heard from a general (I cant remember if it was a police or army) that a group of generals "prepared" a dozen of "fire points" similar to the first ahmadiyah attack last year.

The motive is not clealry known. There are many alternatives. For example, it could be to destabilize the government, or to get more funding for armed/security units, similar to the egyptian church bombing in January which turned out to be instiogated by egypt's former interior minister (http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/20...07/136723.html)

Gayus Tambunan with fake hair and fake glases in Bali when he got "off" from prison for few days.

Believe it or not, In indonesia if you are a poor guy and steal chicken, usualy you will not free from torture, but if you are a rich guy and commiting White Collar Crime, you can get De Lux prison cell and even secret "off days", as long as you can pay the guards.


A pasport with fake name that used by Gayus when got another "off days" from prison and went to Macau.
