The Republic of As Ifs

They'll be lots of big initiatives this year! Mr President SBY will act firmly and resolutely, incompetent ministers will be sacked, the Bank Century and Lapindo cases will be resolved once and for all, the narcotics mafia will be shot, poverty will be eradicated, corruptors will be hung!

Kid: The Republic of As Ifs?

A play on the words akan meaning will or shall and seakan-akan meaning as if, as though, it appears.
