The Causal Effect. Time For Healing

May 29th 2019

          Well, after The General Election of Commisions (KPU) announced that Jokowi-Kiai Ma'ruf win 55.5 % over Prabowo-Sandiaga (44.5%), then some Indonesians start to ruin this Country by doing an extreme things. Jokowi captured 55.5 % or over 85 Million votes (based on the data of KPU-www.kpu.go.id), it means the winning pair (Jokowi-Kiai Ma'ruf) win 17 million more than the rival Prabowo Subianto, who received 68 Million votes or 44.5 % of the vote. For me, it's over. Democracy should be a peaceful when we choose the candidate. After The General Election of Commisions (KPU) officially declared the winning pair, at the same time Police have increased security measures. Not only Police, the Company that i work for, do the same thing. I have to check Office's logistic and make sure all of this. Buying pop mie, etc for the logistic and make sure that fire extinguisher working well, and make sure that we have the contact of the police. This highest alert from Police because a "xxx supporters" planned to hold a mass protest or "people power" movement on May 22 (last week).

          When the people power goes anarchy, then the Government start restricting the use of some social media such as Whatsapp and Instagram last week. On that day, some people reported difficulties sending message via whatsapp, which is one of the country's most popular chat apps. But some people as usual, always see from the negative. Like always, virus spread like violence. "The Goverment too scared", "This dictator regime shouldn't be allowed to run this Country, for the fu*k sake why they restrict the social media?". The hatred of their saying, that's why the Government started restrcting the use of WA, etc on that day. Because of what? The message of hatred, can spread so fast in social media, and it could be heated the situation. 

Well, Indonesians are too lazy to investigate the source to determine its credibility. Because of what, we pay more attention to the content that reinforces our belief. Yes, they don't understand and will never. They see the world only from one side and some of this people have a latah syndrome. When they have friends who are the same as em, same character, same city, or maybe same race, when they see their friends hating something, so that's the reason they hate it too. 

When their family said "a" or choosing "a", they will follow or want to copy-paste something without thinking. So, that's why some people ready to die for something and ready fight each other for something that for me it's not important. And it's completely insane. Remember, like i said before. I don't care who will run this country. I'm not their people (both sides), i'm not their in-law, and ABSOLUTELY they don't have any contribution in my fuc*ing life. So, i don't care. Don't misunderstand what i'm saying. I just don't understand the way of thinking of their supporters.

And everytime i see the same chaos like this, that's why i always said in my previous articles about the important of Pancasila. Pancasila embraces diversity and plurality of ethnicity, culture and faith. And back to the history, we should know the history like Istiqlal stands as a symbol of religious plurality and Pancasila. 

Why i said this, because, my first point, we have to remember as Soekarno's wishes as symbolized in the Istiqlal Mosque built across the Cathedral. That we can accept the differences, and respect each other. Bhinneka Tunggal Ika-Unity in Diversity. Both Istiqlal and Cathedral shows religious harmony such as during Christmas mass, the Mosque's parking lot is used by the Cathedral congregation and vice-versa during Idul Fitri prayers. This is the real Indonesia in my opinion. Respect each other.  

My second point is, both Cathedral and Istiqlal symbolizes freedom. And in addition, like so many people noted, everytime i watched Indonesia Lawyers Club, everytime that talk show discuss about Pancasila, well the Mosque was designed by Frederich Silaban, a Christian Architect of Batak ethnic group in North Sumatera. I think like my two points that i already mentioned, Teachers in schools should teach Pancasila again to the new Generation. This is the important thing for the new Generation, and they will not easily trapped into race's issues.

          And my last point, these issues is the same issues that i heard,watched, etc in 5 or 10 years ago. The same thing. My point, Elon Musk right now think how to move People to Mars, and Indonesia from 10 years ago walk in the same area and we discuss the same thing. Still stuck! I do hope that Indonesia will move fast like Singapore someday, when this nation start meritocracy system (accept differences in race, religion, etc) like Singapore did.

          Well, When i was on my way to go home (last week June 9th 2019), from Juanda International Airport to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, i read a quote somewhere in the plane (Magazine, woman who's sitting next to me) "Marketing is like sex, only losers pay for it". Only losers pay for it. Good one. Haha. Well i will discuss this later. But what i want to discuss right now is about start-up. I do believe that ideas without implementation, or without exceptional team to implement them are like assholes and opinions: everyone gets one.
