When I was looking at Egypt mass rally, protest, riot and violence. I just remember the Indonesian riot and protest. Well it looks the same. Lots of violence.
I was there at Indonesia back then. I started to work there on 1994 until 2001 if not mistaken. I saw the riot and violence that is on year 1998.How people hide in their homes. Food was hard to get and if there is, it was expensive.
The people are getting hurt and some die in the streets. Building is burning everywhere. Vehicles are burning on the roads. Military personnel are everywhere. Police station also burning. Women getting raped and beaten. It is bizarre. It nothing like in TV that you are seeing.
It is totally different when you yourself experiment it. But one thing for sure I didn’t runaway to Malaysia my home country because, I can not do that. I can’t remember if there is any rescue airplane was sent from my country, that’s why. Nobody from Malaysian embassy contacted me to ask that I am ok. Nothing, nothing at all. No help was sent to me at that time.
But I survived. I am still alive. No thanks to Malaysian embassy. How come Malaysian embassy doesn’t know I was there? Hey!! I got working visa man. I am not illegal there.
So you can see how inefficient our government servant working at overseas embassy. “makan gaji buta sahaja” and “tak ada guna” you embassy people at Indonesia that is on duty that time and also to foreign minister that time. I don’t know who he is but pretty sure he doesn’t perform his duty well.
I already forgive you guys, but I will not forget. Please do your job well next time.
Well I would like to wish my highest gratitude to my Indonesian friends that help me at that time. Thank you guys, thank you very much, if not you guys I would not be alive.
So I move on my life. I work there for another 3 years after the riot. I got married there too. So….
Life goes on guys….
