Tak ada salahnya apabila kita me-lansir kembali apa yang di beritakan oleh pers LN tentang Mbah Harto. Perlunya berita semacam ini di posting kembali yalah untuk memperlihatkan bahwa putusan MA baru2 ini terasa sangat gladrah dan penuh dengan selain, kejutan juga keyakinan orang bahwa hukum dan keadilan tidak ada di Indonesia. Sebenarnya sejak tahun 2004 seharusnya mbah Harto sudah harus gebrak semua media, baikperorangan, baik di dalam negeri maupun di LN. Sejak dulu Tranparency International, dalam Global Corruption report menjadikan Mbah Harto pegang kejuaraan dalam "olah raga" Perkorup-an. Ditilik dari tangga kejuaraan ini dari juara pertama sampai juara ke empat, ke-empat2-nya semua-nya adalah mantan jendral. Mengherankan bukan?. Maksudnya didirikan angkatan bersenjata dan dipimpin oleh pimpinan yang selain ditugasi menangkis serangan dari luar dan dalam negeri,essensinya membela kepentingan negara, tapi ngak tahu-nya .....malahan AB-nya jadi tukang pukul merangkap jadi perampok. Rakyatnya sendiri, bangsanya dewek di bunuhi dan di rampok habis2an oleh AB yang seyogianya adalah pembela rakyat. Juara2 perampok ini seperti, aku ingat kalau sedang nyelam di great barrier reef, kadang2 ketemu blue-ringed octopus. Ujutnya bagus tapi jangan di-usik, di patuk bisa segera mampus. Sampai saat ini ngak ada antivenin,antidote-nya bagi racun fatal blue ringed octopus. Mbah Harto kayak blue-ringed octopus, ujutnya sangat menyejukkan, senyuman selalu diumbar ke-mana2, tapi jangan salah duga. Octopus ini punya venom yang fatal dan punya kaki2 sebanyak 8 buah yang bisa meraih ke-mana2 untuk cari mangsa-nya. Jadi aku harepin kenapa koq ngak diminta agar pembela2nya Mbah Harto meng-sue juga semua media yang memberita-in tentang Mbah Harto ya. Andil besar di pegang oleh Mbah Harto, jadi ngak salah kalau negeri ini sudah ditempatkan juga jadi juaranya negera2 ter-korup di se-antero dunia. Dari itu aku akan mengingat-kan kepada nasionalis2 tulen disini agar ingat tuh apa yang aku tulisadiatas: Repair the past, secure the future.Tidak di perbaiki masa lalu jangan harap akan datang masa depan yang bagus. Tanpa perbaikan kita tidak tahu perbuatan apa yang salah(yang kita lakukan), dan akan me-ngulang2 kesalahan dimasa mendatang, jadinya kemakmuran akan tidak pernah kunjung datang, simple as that!

BBC NEWS Business Suharto tops corruption rankings Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2007 22:25:40 +1000 --------------------------------- Suharto tops corruption rankings Former President Suharto of Indonesia tops the all-time corruption league table, an anti-graft group says. Transparency International(TI), in its Global Corruption Report, uses the list to show how political corruption and private bribery hurt development. Suharto's alleged haul of $15-$35bn in 31 years of rule, TI said, demonstrated how abuse of power "undermines the hopes... of developing countries". Close behind is Zaire's Mobutu Sese Seko, who allegedly looted $5bn. His haul, said TI, was particularly high in a country with an average GDP of just $100 a person. It amounted to 40% of the $12bn in aid Zaire - now the Democratic Republic of Congo - received during his 32-year rule. "The abuse of political power for private gain deprives the most needy of vital public services, creating a level of despair that breeds conflict and violence," said TI's founder and chairman Peter Eigen. Repatriation In producing this year's report TI has focused on political corruption, partly to highlight new conventions which it hopes will help the fight against graft. GRAFT TOP TEN Suharto: $15-35bn (Indonesia, 1967-98) Ferdinand Marcos: $5-10bn (Philippines, 1972-86) Mobutu Sese Seko: $5bn (Zaire, 1965-97) Sani Abacha: $2-5bn (Nigeria, 1993-98) Slobodan Milosevic: $1bn (Yugoslavia, 1989-2000) J-C Duvalier: $300-800m (Haiti, 1971-86) Alberto Fujimori: $600m (Peru, 1990-2000) Pavlo Lazarenko: $114-200m (Ukraine, 1996-7) Arnoldo Aleman: $100m (Nicaragua, 1997-2002) Joseph Estrada: $78-80m (Philippines, 1998-2001) Source: Transparency International. All sums are estimates of alleged embezzlement The United Nations Convention against Corruption was completed on 9 December last year, while the African Union's own convention came out in July 2003. Ratification of these conventions, said TI UK chief Laurence Cockcroft, would help root out corrupt politicians and - just as importantly - get the stolen cash back home. The UN Convention, he said, "provides a formal framework for mult-lateral action" by law enforcement. "And it greatly improves the scope for repatriation of assets by cutting through the legal obscurantism of the past." That could - for example - help Nigeria recover the $2bn-$5bn estimated to have been stolen by late President Sani Abacha. Switzerland has promised to hand back more than $500m in its banks, but less progress is being made on the $1bn-plus held in London. Still in office TI is not alone in looking into corruption in public life. Of particular interest in recent months has been the energy and minerals industry. While TI's list focuses on politicians who are either dead or under investigation, others - such as resource exploitation specialists Global Witness - have gone further. In a recent report, Global Witness accused several current leaders of looting their own treasuries. Among them are: Angola's President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos, whom it says keeps large sums in bank accounts abroad Equatorial Guinea, whose President Teodoro Obiang calls oil revenues a "state secret" but is accused of keeping oil companies' payments in a bank in Washington DC under his own name Kazakhstan, where a bungled attempt to smear a rival led to President Nursultan Nazarbayev inadvertently revealing $1bn in state funds placed abroad "for the good of the country". Angola on Thursday rejected accusations that the president and other senior government officials had benefited by millions of dollars from illicit deals. In a statement issued by the Angolan embassy in London, the government said the allegations were baseless and could not be proved.
