Not sure exactly to which Indonesian landing the original post is referring to but if it was the the Garuda approach into yogakarta in March 07 I think you'll find it was more his non-standard approach and excess speed leading to an unstable approach to a wet runway that caused the exit from the runway surface. Rather than any lack of so-called 'short field landing' technique!!
If I remember rightly in G.A. short field landings are to land on the numbers... do that in a 757 and you'll drag the gear through the approach lighting system!
