Please forgive my wrongdoings


Kid: Please forgive my physical and emotional wrongdoings (a traditional Idul Fitri greeting) and for all my crimes of corruption...

Man: The same to you...

While the political elite like to make a big show of observing the rituals of the Idul Fitri celebrations at the end of the holy fasting month, it is little more than an exercise in polishing their public image as they prepare to get on with what they do best – robbing the country blind.
