Indonesia president sidesteps action on corruption case, says AFP. This actually has been expected by many, including me as I wrote here. Except one that he would drop the Bibit-Chandra (anti-graft leaders) case. Even on this point, experts still interpret it in many different ways. In other words, Police or Jaksa (attorney general) might or might not drop the case. On other Tim 8 recommendation such as the sacking of Kapolri (police chief) and Kejagung (Attorney general) were ignored as mentioned in the news below. We have to remember, meanwhile, that the set-up of fact-finding team by President SBY was coming out of public mounting pressure, not from himself.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Monday sidestepped advice from his own fact-finding team to punish senior law enforcers over a huge corruption scandal that has gripped the nation.
The liberal ex-general has been under intense pressure to sack top police and prosecutors and drop their allegedly bogus criminal case against senior anti-graft investigators from the respected corruption watchdog.
In a nationally televised speech, Yudhoyono pledged reform to the justice system but insisted he could not interfere in the legal process, even though he admitted the public had lost trust in the judicial system.

Some foreign media take interests to this situation. This is what BBC has to say:
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is due to announce what action he will take on a high-level corruption scandal.
He has already warned Indonesian media it will be “controversial”.
The scandal has pitted the country’s anti-corruption agency against senior law enforcement officials.
An independent inquiry said the police case against two anti-corruption officials accused of extortion and abuse of power should be dropped.
The case caused public outrage when it emerged they could have been framed.
The two men – Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra Hamzah – have been released, but the police and the attorney general’s office have so far refused to drop their case.
Public sympathy has been growing for the anti-corruption agency – known by its acronym KPK – with almost daily protests on the streets of Jakarta urging the president to act decisively.
Bloomberg meanwhile has a good title on this case, especially on President Sby position thus:
Indonesia’s Yudhoyono Hits ‘Tipping Point’ in Graft Case Row
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono tonight will say how he plans to end a dispute between police and the anti-corruption agency that has caused a public outcry and threatens to undermine his record on combating graft.
“We’re at a tipping point right now,” said James van Zorge, principal at Jakarta-based risk consultancy Van Zorge, Heffernan & Associates. If Yudhoyono “does the wrong thing, you’ll see a lot of criticism and you’ll see how this will impact the international opinion about the president and this country as a place to do business,” he said.
Legal certainty in Indonesia is “the number one” issue that will go under scrutiny, Van Zorge said.
