President messages to Australia

The issue of tapping "conducted" by Australia now widespread discussed in Indonesia. Even the Indonesian hacker has reportedly attacked several sites belonging to Australian as countermeasure. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will send a formal letter to Prime Minister Tony Abbott to ask for an official explanation from the Australian government.

While we don't know what exactly the content of the letter, let we see on what Indonesian President had wrote on his official twitter account, as follow:

Message from hacker

I think, tapping in the cyber world is common, but tapping that conducted by a government to government is a serious matter. Do you agree?

    Well Tikno, you know what I'm going to write :): it's serious among friends, protests are in place, asking for explanations is almost mandatory, but let's not pretend spying is one-sided. So, instead of escalating , playing cool is the wiser strategy in my opinion. And, actually I think that official institutions ( secret services) spying on their own countrymen is the by far more serious offence Edward Snowden revealed.

      Perhaps, it could be on either side. But unfortunately Australia has been caught.
      But anyway, I'm the type that is very respectful of the so-called privacy. I also oppose Internet censorship.
      President has playing cool. I think... media is the source of anger with its teasing title and contents.

    I agree, particularly when both the countries involved are considered to be friendly neighbours. It is another story if it were between us and our neighbour :-)

Fair by Logic or Feeling: A Test of Wisdom

The definition of "fair" according to the Cambridge Dictionary : treating someone in a way that is right or reasonable, or treating a group of people equally and not allowing personal opinions to influence your judgment . Well, that's the ideal. But can idealism always be implemented into practice effectively? The answer is not necessarily yes. A few days ago, I was chatting casually at a coffee shop with friends. One of my friends told a story about parents who divided their wealth between their two sons. Both sons had their own families, but their financial conditions were very different. The first son was quite wealthy, while the second son was relatively poor. Their parents gave the larger share to the second son. This made the first son feel he was being treated unfairly. He felt his parents favored his younger brother. This story steered our casual conversation toward the topic of fairness. There were two opinions. First, their parents should divide it equally to be...

Waiting In Line.

What? Talking about waiting in line? Yeah! Why not? Maybe you think this is a useless, trivial topic. But I witnessed several incidents of scrambling over the distribution of free basic food. Either the aid was from the government or from the UN. Even some people died as a result of being trampled under foot. It could be that the distribution method is not done correctly. But I think it's more about people's patience. In many cases, maybe you have heard stories about the method of bribing officers so that their wishes can be processed more quickly without having to queue. I have not found a study/research about which countries are the most disciplined in queuing. But from what I have heard and read so far, it is Japan. Changing the character of an adult (or an old person) is not easy. It's easier to educate children from birth. I'm talking about this topic not because I'm better than you. I'm just thinking about how to shape the character of our children as the ...
