Jakarta Without Monkeys Or Without Corruptors?

Which you do prefer if you were Indonesian and happened to live in the capital city: Jakarta Without Monkeys Or without corruptors? Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo or Jokowi has vowed that there will be no more "topeng monyet" (masked monkey) shows in the streets of Jakarta in 2014. The campaign called 'Jakarta Bebas Topeng Monyet 2014′ (Jakarta Free of Masked Monkey Performers 2014) is aimed primarily at protecting animal welfare.

jakarta without monkey
Is there a corruptor there with the monkey eating banana?
Well, it's not a big deal if the monkeys are transferred to a one-hectare field at Ragunan Zoo
and owners will be compensated. It is a weird show if Jakarta corruptors being detained there together with the beast, forced to act like a gladiator. Is it a good idea? Not really, you absolutely go against human rights (classic). If the government will also provide skills training and alternative livelihood opportunities to monkey trainers, on the contrary, they will also keep providing more "services" for anybody stealing people money on behalf of human rights. So skip the torture context here.

Many people throughout Jakarta will be affected by the government's new regulation. But there's no new significant regulation about how to stop man from stealing people's money when it comes to bureaucracy and political interests.

With or without monkey, the city has already had "monkeys" in all walks of life--the greedy creatures which feel unsatisfied only with one banana in his hand. So which is better or the best: Jakarta without corruptors or Without monkey? Just fancy any leaders or politicians here stop campaigning, yelling: say no to corruption in the upcoming 2014 Indonesian Presidential Election, but, rather, start preparing gallows or fire squads on behalf of human rights...... Hm, weird!

Jokowi

Jokowi is a new name to rank itself on Google Search Engine. According to a Google Adword keyword survey, Jokowi was searched on the Internet during August 2012 as many as 49,500.times

Who is Jokowi? If we look a little closer to his picture he just looks like President Obama. It is only for a joke that recently Jokowi was resembled Obama and Fawzi Bowo (Jakarta's governor) was Hittler, and the video of this "Jokowi VS Fawzi Bowo" has been spread sensationally and funnily on Youtube, drives many to view.

Joko Widodo (born in Surakarta, June 21, 1961), better known by his nickname Jokowi, is the current mayor of Surakarta, Indonesia. His second term is due to end in 2015. His vice mayor is F.X. Hadi Rudyatmo. Recently he has been nominated by his party, Indonesian Democratic Party – Struggle, to run in the 2012 Jakarta gubernatorial election.

The result of the first round election to put Jokowi above Fawzi Bowo that seemingly made such a video written above. Of his humble personality, down-to-earth nature, most of Jakarta people may presume Jokowi can outdo Fawzi Bowo later at the second round of the election

However, Jokowi's road to success is not smooth anyway. Issues of religious discrimination towards Jokowi is one of the barriers which makes him even stronger and this triggers supports from a large number of people, espeically those of the underdogs.

We, Indonesians, just wait and see whether Jokowi will become "Obama of Jakarta" or "Enemy of Jakarta"
