Until next time image building


Until next time image building...

Sign reads: For the 633 victims of Mudik (holiday road accidents).

Having exploited the holy fasting month to project an image of modesty and moderation, the political elite can now return to their corruption-funded lives of luxury and affluence. This will not be so for the 633 who died during the Idul Fitri holiday exodus, many of whom were forced to travel long distances by motorbike on dangerous and poorly maintained roads due to the lack of safe and affordable public transport.
