Time Is “Almost” Up

Time is almost up, but the culprits are still free hitting whatever they like to hit and running anywhere thy please.  Look at yourself, aren’t we tired to see on how our law enforcers do to our people.

We have badly hurt from our past, 1965, 1998, and now…do we want to repeat the same misery.  I don’t think so.  This is the time Mr. President, people power are ready, but they are still waiting for you decision.  Any of your act which far from their common logic will badly hurt your administration.

We do not want to see anything happened to you, since you’re considered as our nation pride, democracy has spurred on your hand.  Please, do not ruin it.  Do not fail  your own jargon on performing good and clean government which we have already believed.  Even, the international society is proud of this country’s effort on combating corruption, which now is proven to be only a skin deep.

You have to decide, the time is almost up.  Don’t buy more time since many political benefit seekers are hunting the chance to use the people anger for their advantage. Don’t let the people go without any trust among each other. Look, the international medias are keeping their eyes closely to you. And the most important thing is, don’t jeopardize your nation.

Why “Ra-Conquista?”

Raconquista is a combination of two words: Ra which is Ratri (my name) and Conquista which is taken from spanish word Conquistador (the conqueror). Therefore, raconquista can be interpreted as my wish to conquer “the world”, the world of ignorant and stubborn ones. The world which has never been easy to be convinced that someone out there is reaching out for help to be a better one.

I will dedicate part of this blog for my students. So, you will find not only some story about my life, but I will also invite you to witness how I nurture the coming generation of Indonesian intellectual bureaucrats.
