I am still an Indonesian citizen.

I am willing to work with anyone that wants to do what is best for this country.

What I can do for my country, I am willing to do.

Indonesia was colonized for 350 years. We lost our mind-set for entrepreneurship. We only become workers.

If you don't pay bribes, people think you're odd. It's very sad. I cannot say that I'm proud to be an Indonesian. This is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

I first went to Indonesia in 2001 for six months. I was to help a community of plantation workers to make a film documenting and dramatizing the struggle to organize a union in the aftermath of the Suharto dictatorship.

I will work in partnership with the Government, all political parties, and civil society to safeguard and advance the future of all Singaporeans.

My job is to rectify the public finances and hand the country back to the people so they can really have a future, and that is what I will do.

Crush Malaysia! Indonesia may change its tactics, but our goal will remain the same.

I have my own experience in Indonesia, of course. Sometimes in these transition situations, the new governments are still clumsy and awkward in responding to this new environment in which they operate. The only thing in their DNA is the old regime.
