Dignity of a nation

Terrible news storm Indonesia about execution by beheading of a domestic migrant worker in Saudi Arabia(KSA). Public anger sparks and then soon our cripple government issued illogical excuse on how it could happen. Government irresponsibility even so apparent when the officers blame each other just to secure their position. Marty the foreign minister even gave a totally lie statement that KSA apologized for not informing the beheading. This claim immediately denied by KSA. What a shame! I wonder how dare Marty was to lie about other country formal statement.

The shame story did not stop there. Government gave very slow response, that instead of real action to give immediate protection to other workers, the president formed a commission of taskforce and a decree to halt migran workers export starting on August. A faster reaction was given by KSA, they stop issuing working visa starting from July.

Where's our dignity as a nation? It is really a pity to have cowards as our representatives.

Weak leaders may affect many aspects of citizen life. Mostly in negative sense, particularly when engage with foreign interest. A terrible example occured in WW2 where French navy was slaughtered by British one. They actually were friends, but due German occupation of France, and Britain must secure their land from sea invasion, Britain must compromise strong French navy. Unfortunately French admiral did not react immediately. They engaged in northern africa sea and thousand French navy died. If french admiral were a confident man, he would order his men to surrender so then they could fight back Germany, side by side with British.
Si, somos indignados!
