Jokowi and His A-Maze-ing Mind

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="556" caption="(ilustrasi: www.standbyformindcontrol.com)"][/caption] Has Jokowi led us into a maze of confusion? Since the first day he kicked start the presidency, many things are thought as breakthrough. Many ministerial positions are held by  professionals. Such as Susi Pudjiastuti who had her censure at the beginning. Public underestimated Susi as she holds only a Juniro Highschool certificate. However, her recent harsh policy toward illegal fishing has proven she is doing the right thing to Indonesia ocean. Though, her policy toward to abolish trawl fishing led many objection by traditional fishermen. Jokowi seems to trust Susi, and he prefers to let her do what she 'meant' to do, which is to regain our seas. And with such a-maze-ing mind, Jokowi has not even shed light of the reason of Budi Gunawan's candidacy as Head of Indonesian Police Force (Kapolri). Many presume that his decision was influenced by 'the mistress', Megawati Soekarnoputri. As Budi Gunawan (BG) have much contribution toward Megawati and her ruling party. Jokowi's decision of BG single candidacy had also raised suspicion. Though KPK quick decsion to make BG as the suspect of illegal bank account. Soon, Polri under the command of Budi Waseso apprehended Bambang Wijayanto the vice chief of KPK. Public reacted against this. And Jokowi's wise and quick was expected. Jokowi seemed to become inhard pressure. Though public insist on KPK-Polri conflict, Jokowi has not decided yet. Too much time consumed to decide what needs to be solved. Public remain in question. Or the recent issue that led people questioning further, of making agreement with Proton for presumably our national car, or Mobnas with Proton-Malaysia. Resentment rose as critics and public felt disappointed. Public remind Jokowi about Esemka, which production is on the verge. Many insist Jokowi to continue Esemka or other national cars to be seriously take into account. Or, Jokowi's decision of appointing Proton is interfered by patriotism in form of vengeance. As Indonesia-Malaysia have long time become rival, and many times Malaysia look down on Indonesia. As like the racist ad of Indonesia housemaid which led Indonesian angry. Jokowi's decision making cooperation with Proton left Indonesian ini another big question. Public, both pro or cons to Jokowi remain in this maze of Jokowi's 100 days presidency. Many breakthrough he made seem a breakout of what common things a president do. As in the past, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono reign, the government was in state of 'balance'. The nation was far for being in state of 'turbulence'. Everything was so right and calm, no one during SBY reign did such 'mischief' conduct. Thus, Jokowi's leadership is felt different form  the former. Herein, Indonesian would still hope for the welfare of this nation, as Jokowi is driving. Abundant expectation has been place high on Jokowi. And many questionable policies and act that Jokowi did and do, hopefully come in handy in near future. Regards, Bandung, February 10 2015 08:03 am
