Indonesian President SBY Website Launched
Finally, Indonesian current President SBY (Susilo Bambang Yudoyono) launched his own website. The first of its kind. It’s a bit similar with a blog equipped with podcast, RSS feed, although without comment box. So, you can put it into your My Yahoo, or Google Fusion if you want.
The site contains anything relating to the President activities: from his own speeches on various occasions, interviews and news, including his SMS number, PO Box, and guestbook (I’ve tried the guestbook, it’s not working). Predictably, it’ll be a hit in no time.

Senior Junior Relationship

We talked a lot about various issues including current events in Indonesia, international, and some off-the-record stories.

For example, if a higher official in rank want to “make-up”, or mark-up if you will, the auditing report, all you have to do is just do it or else face the consequences. He’s happy, he said, that the current Ambassador never asked him to do so (unlike his predecessor).

Are you the Terrorist Blogger?
In the real world, the so-called terrorist defined as a person, community, or state who terrorise others through violence means for whatever reasons and purposes, either those terror acts carried out by individual, a group of individuals or states. The last criteria refers to any states who occupy other states, as there’ll be no successfull occupation without any physical violence . I think you agree with me on this regard.
