Election in Indonesia

No news is good news as one commentator said of the peaceful election in Indonesia.

I was in Jakarta last week. My client (supposed to be well informed) was not aware of the election date when I briefly enquired about the election. In my two hours' ride to and fro the airport, there was hardly any messy signs that the country is currently in election mode.

The election process in Singapore (just shown on TV5 news) for Indonesia surprised me. Any Indonesian citizens who walk in with a valid passport will be entitled to exercise their constitution right. Bravo to that!!

I hope Malaysia will that step in the next election.
