Is President SBY Brave Enough to Do Tim8 Advices?
Posted on November 19, 2009
Is President SBY Brave Enough to implement what Tim 8 (president-made fact finding commission) advices? Many people pessimistic, including me. SBY was not known as decisive personality, unlike his former VP Jusuf Kalla, nor is he possibly now. So, don’t expect any extraordinary happenings will take place next Monday when SBY will announce his decision. He’s known as the play-safe president. via JP
To anyone expecting heads to roll, the President warns that no one should press him to act beyond his authority, following the recommendations of his team investigating the controversial KPK case.
“We don’t want our efforts to settle the issue leading to more serious problems,” said President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Wednesday at the State Palace.
“And don’t force me as President to take measures beyond my authority,” he added.
He was opening a meeting on the team’s final report with a number of Cabinet ministers, the National Police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri and Attorney General Hendarman Supandji.
The President is to announce Monday his decisions regarding the recommendations of his fact-finding team.
I am sure, the time SBY annouces his response to Tim 8 recommendation on Monday, everything will be business as usual. No Kapolri BHD will be fired. No Kejakgung Hendarman Supandji will be thrown out of office. Despite he has constitutional power to do so. Beaurocracy reform will be just as retorical as the words stands.

#mungkin di “makan” akismet
As a part of grass roots, really.. I couldn’t care less about the whole chaos, the endless supply of conspiracy, corruption, bribery, fraud, embezzlement, dirty politic tactics. If this nation is sinking, we have to make sure those politic and economic titans get drowned with us. They’re such unforgivable culprits!
Considering his precarious position, SBY has to take a firm action no matter how much the cost he has to pay
#I don’t think SBY has to pay much. he’s, unfortunately, by default is indecisive personality. unlike JK. he used to enjoy many credits for what JK had done (BLT, peace in Aceh and Poso, quick fix for internal conflict of high rank officials, etc). With Boediono alongside him, people now know who sby really is: a person who is thin-skinned, highly sensitive if his personality (and family) is attacked. unresponsive to what people need and want the most.
Hidup tim 8, 9, 10, 11 dst. I not believe president. If 1 believe him so i polytheism. Hehe salam
