Harry Sufehmi’s comment on my earlier article regarding freedom of speech in Indonesia:
Unfortunately in many cases “kebebasan pers” now has fell into “kebablasan pers”. Even journalists themselves are expressing dismay on this phenomenon.
Personally I was most outraged when several ministers who were busy building this coutry were character-assassinated in several big media — turned out the stakeholders on those media have business interest who are in jeopardy by the people-oriented policies of those ministers.
I am still outraged to this day, and have vowed to help bring an alternative media, blog, to our people.
Just say no to “kebablasan pers” !
