Election days is coming!!!

April 9th, 2009 will be the election days for Indonesian people. That day we are given our right to choose any candidates for represent us in DPR. So this recent weeks are full of candidates campaigning their vision and mission for the next 5 years. I saw some of the campaign activities in the television and amazed at how they did it.

Every candidates had his/her particular way of summoning mass for his campaign. Some use money, some use door prize, and there are many other unique ways. I saw in the news this morning that there was a candidate who throw his money to the mass. It seems usual, isn't it? But he didn't stop and continue to throw his cloth and even his belt. I wonder why he didn't throw his pants as well. I'm sure the crowd will really love him, if he do that :P.

And another candidates were giving Ponari's water for free to the crowd. As we know, Ponari is a little boy from lamongan, east java who gets famous because of his supernatural power. He posses a rock named thunder stone. It was being said that every man or woman who drink the water which the stone was immerse will be cured from any sickness. Stupid tales and yet many people believe him.

It shows how ridiculous some Indonesian people are. But I couldn't complain more. In this crisis, a saviour is really needed. And Ponari is just one of savior's resemblance which some people are looking for. If his action helps people, the let it be....
