I wrote back 20/12/98 that: "I would just like to make one observation
about the Indonesian way. It seems to me that the Indonesians are very
good at talking and talking about WHAT to do but absolutely hopeless of
finding the best way of HOW to do it. Please observe the number of
dialogs, seminars, symposiums, etc etc about WHAT to be done but no one
has come up with HOW to get there".

The latest bank closure fiasco is another example of the incapability of
the Indonesian decision makers to be DECISIVE and showed some sign that
they know what they are doing.

Why can't they make up their mind quietly and then, just announced it
which banks to close, NOT TO BE CLOSED. Like Nike says: "Just Do It".
Instead, they allow plenty of time for rumours, speculation and
contradictory statements to be made and spread.

In the end, everyone is confused. How many banks to close? When? What
categories? A?B?C?D?E?F?Z? No wonder the account holders are confused,
frightened and in panic.

"Menurutnya, kesimpangsiuran informasi yang diterimanya saat ini membuat
dia bingung. "Semua orang heboh membicarakan tentang likuidasi bank,
tapi saya tidak tahu mana yang benar," (WASPADA: Nasabah Bank Di Medan
Heboh!, 12/2/98)

Come on guys, you are suppose to be the professional, the country and
people are suffering enough already, why can't you run your country
professionally. May be this is the real problem, you have not run the
country professionally for the last 32 years and it is too much to
expect from you now.

ps: About BJ "Foot in the mouth" Habibie's comment about racist
Singapore, I think BJ is a much better karaoke singer than he is a
president. So what about it BJ, give up your day job?
