the innocent will always loose
i watched from far away the verdict beaing read out. i almost cried and broke down just because i watched the surroundings of the court room and it brought back so many memories of the bali bombings.
a few people have said "but what about the poor balinese who earn so little'...but what about the poor us. yes, you and me who travel to indonesia.
i just want to say that i will be staying away and will from now on advise all australians to stay away from bali and indonesia.
why go on about those poor balinese when its us who suffer. after the bali bombings, people said we should not punish inoccent balinese and return there. the hard reality is its all driven by money.
well, im not going to punish anyone, but i want to look after myself and urge other felllow aussies to put yourself first now and do the same.
if the poor balinese are suffering then their society should do more to protect their own.
is there any social security in indonesia? the answer is no.
under islam there is a system of helping the needy called zakat. the income earners are supposed to donate a percentage of their salary to help the poor. yes bali is hindu - but its still part of indonesia.
seems to me that western countries with a dole system are more geared to helping the needy.
my point is dont feel guilty that you may harm the indo tourist industry if you now make a point of never going there again and tell your friends the same.
