The law must be enforced firmly and fairly

Bhinneka Tunggal Ika: The national motto, Unity in Diversity

1st Man: The law must be enforced firmly and fairly...

2nd Man: Yeah, give an example

Police have named only one suspect after a mob of 500 Sunni Muslims attacked a group of Shiites in Sampang, East Java, leaving two dead, seven injured and dozens of houses torched. Following a similar fatal attack in December, a district court sentenced a Shia cleric whose house was burnt down to two years for blasphemy while the only suspect in the case was jailed for less than three months.

Remissions

Carpet reads: Remissions

Man: It's not favouritism, or is it favouritism, or favouring the rich, or good conduct?

Anti-corruption activists have slammed the government after it announced holiday sentence reductions for 27 graft convicts, a move that appears to fly in the face of a presidential moratorium issued last year on sentence reductions for corruption and terrorism convicts following widespread public criticism over the early release of wealthy or politically connected individuals.

Freedom!

Man at back of bus: Freedom!

Coinciding with this year's Independence Day on August 17, an estimated 21 million Indonesian's will join the Idul Fitri holiday exodus to their home villages to mark the end of the holy fasting month, many of whom will not survive the journey being forced to travel long distances by motorbike on dangerous and poorly maintained roads due to the lack of safe and affordable public transport.

Where's your driver's license!

National Police Chief Gen. Timur Pradopo: Where's your driver's license!

Man: In this case you can be sure it not just prit-jigo (when a cop blows a whistle then asks for a bribe)

Snubbing its nose at Law № 30/2002 on the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), which states other institutions are not authorised to carry out an investigation if the KPK is already investigating a case, the police are pushing ahead with their own investigation into the procurement of police driving simulators (Simulator SIM) in what is widely seen as an attempt to contain the KPK probe.

Give it a wash first

Man: Give it a wash first so its clean...

National police chief General Timur Pradopo's (left) leadership is being put to the test after police defied public calls for an investigation into a high-profile graft case involving the procurement of police driving simulators (Simulator SIM) to be handled solely by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and forcibly took over part of the anti-graft agency's probe into the case in what many see as an attempt to protect its own.
