The Winner

The Winner

So Bambang won the Indonesian elections. But who is the real winner? Let's wait and see. Things can go either way but I do think that the elections this time around has been a democratic one.

Few wishes to Indonesia:

1. Mdm Megawati graciously concedes defeat. Do not waste precious time and resources trying to overturn the results - these should be used to improve the living conditions of the people.

2. Pak Bambang is able to have a peaceful first 100 days. If internal strife between the political parties is going to mar his honeymoon period, then little can be done. Even less can be achieved. The people will be the losers.

3. The Indonesian economy grows a little. I don't need a miracle but do let the economy grow. The people need it.

4. Less violence, fewer terrorists.

5. Greater stability for south east Asia. We have enough of uncertain times.
