Tonight, I watched the MetroTV’s evening Headline News titled “Kemacetan Jakarta Menggila” (Traffic Jam in Jakarta worsens). This morning, my friend Barok told me, Jakarta is a city of millions of motorbikes.
It’s true. Traffics on the roads are nowadays getting crazier and worse. My wife told me that since the activation of Transjakarta bus along cawang-grogol route last week, the traffic round her office in Jalan Gatot Subroto, Kuningan is becoming out of control. It’s really insane, it took 3 hours to reach her office, although she already took “Jalan Tol” (paid highway).
Whenever I discuss anything to do with traffic, I always tell her that this country has failed to manage the traffic. It’s completely a big fail. The government has no ability to control and manage the transportation system.
I also don’t understand; why the government and all the elite politicians couldn’t do anything to solve this issue? I believe most of them are rich people and I am sure they have traveled or visited a developed country like USA, UK, or Germany, or at least they visited Singapore when they did shopping. Why they didn’t just learn success stories from those countries that have good public transportation system.
I extremely can say, why they didn’t just copy-paste the transportation system of Singapore. It’s easy! Just invite their experts and teach our people here and start applying the system!
Idiot..!

yet it is still my nation, my friend, and I am fully proud of it (not including all the miss-govern things to complaint for)
I am sure you also have the same proud as mine upon Indonesia, our nation...thus, please carefully mind what you wrote in any global-accessible media like this blog.
like old Italian proverb, "dirty laundry we should do it at our own house".
Salam Merdeka!!

This must be Feri Hartadi, I guess, but thanks by the way.
Considering how great the corruption is going on in this country, I dont think we need to mind our words. If you can't change and scrutinize someting with some frontal statements, how can you expect to make a little change by using a soft critics?
I love my country, and that's why we should tell the truth.
Like an old saying, "say the truth, although it hurts."
