Refleksi : Seandainya SBY ini jatuh terpelanting dari kursi kekuasaan yang baru saja diduduki, maka rezim siapapun atau apapun setelah SBY, agaknya tidak akan bisa memperbaiki mutu tingkat kehidupan rakyat mayoritas dari buruk menjadi baik dan lebih baik lagi, karena mereka berasal dari linkungan yang sama dan tujuannya pun tidak akan berbeda dari yang terdahulu.
http://www.smh.com.au/world/yudhoyono-to-address-the-nation-as-corruption-scandals-spread-20091123-j0j5.html Yudhoyono to address the nation as corruption scandals spread TOM ALLARD HERALD CORRESPONDENT November 24, 2009 JAKARTA: Indonesia's Vice-President, Boediono, is under intense pressure over his role in the $720 million bail-out of a bank linked to donors who supported the election campaign of his running mate, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. The fall-out from the rescue of Bank Century last year is one of a series of corruption scandals buffeting Dr Yudhoyono, who was due late last night to address the nation on the graft crisis. A report released yesterday by Indonesia's Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) found the country's central bank - headed by Boediono at the time - provided incomplete and inaccurate information as it rammed through the financial rescue of Bank Century. ''Bank Indonesia's announcement that Bank Century was in trouble and needed a bail-out was not supported by accurate and updated data,'' BPK's chairman, Hadi Purnomo, said. ''As a result, they disbursed up to 6.7 trillion rupiah [$720 million], far higher than the 632 billion rupiah [$70 million] previously estimated [needed] to save Bank Century.'' The bank was too small to be a systemic risk to the Indonesian financial system and almost half of the money was disbursed illegally, the BPK found. More than 80 per cent of the funds went to replenish bankers, shareholders and other related parties who had lost money due to ''illegal practices and violations of regulations''. The public version of the report from the agency did not reveal who benefited from the disbursements. Among the beneficiaries of the bail-out were Indonesia's elite, including the treasurer of Dr Yudhoyono's re-election campaign and other big donors. There are widespread calls for a more detailed inquiry into the affair and Dr Yudhoyono indicated on Sunday night he was prepared to support one after months of resisting. In an address to the nation scheduled for late last night, Dr Yudhoyono was expected to call for police and prosecutors to drop the pursuit of two senior members of the country's independent Corruption Eradication Commission, or KPK. Strong evidence has emerged through wiretaps that the pursuit of the two KPK deputies was a high-level conspiracy by law enforcement leaders angered at a KPK probe into their rampant bribe-taking, including in the Bank Century case. Dr Yudhoyono will then demand ''corrective measures'' to weed out corrupt members of the police, the Attorney-General's department, and the KPK. Susno Duadji, the chief of police detectives implicated in the wiretaps, will be removed but the chief of police will stay.
