I just watched Yudhoyono-Boediono’s declaration for the July Presidential election. When Yudhoyono read out his political speech, I didn’t see anything special. Yes, I’m not a fan of incumbent president Yudhoyono. But it is truly heartwarming to see the presence of a non-party candidate.

Here you can see the videos. Boediono, the current Governor of Bank Indonesia (or already resigned, huh?), made a speech without text.

And wow, Boediono’s speech is so damn great!

He said government will provide clear and fair rules in economy; government will not completely leave the economy to market liberalism. Somehow, I think Prosperous Justice Party (Partai Keadilan Sejahtera), National Mandate Party (Partai Amanat Nasional), and other Democratic Party’s (Partai Demokrat) coalition-parties accused that Boediono is a neo-liberalist.

“Indonesia membutuhkan pemimpin yang tidak dikotori oleh suap, tidak mau memperdagangkan kekuasaan, tidak mau mencampuradukkan kepentingan republik dengan kepentingan bisnis keluarga.”

I love this part. An implicit criticism after all. But I’m not fond with that flashy ceremony.

Strangely enough, I’m fonder of calm fatherly-figure, eh? Hahahaa, I always end up criticising them more anyway. XD XD

PS: I hate Indonesian syncope-syndrome, ex: SBY, JK, AA, HNW, etc.
