Love letter for Aburizal Bakrie

I know I have written about this at least twice before, and that Jakartass and Rob Baiton did too, but today's news surfing brought me to an article where scientists say drilling almost certainly to blame for Indonesian mud flow (read: bakrie screwed mud flow victims over, saying earthquake caused mud flow, now scientists are saying earthquake was not the cause, I say: Dear Scientists, please tell us something we don't already know).

Polar Bear, before you go all apes on me about dissing Bakrie, please bear in mind I understand your point of 'Why single out Bakrie when it’s a way of life in Indonesia. Lets take a good look at how Jakarta manages its floods every year.'

While it is a valid point and I agree how it is in fact a very sad way of life in Indonesia. I do, however, think we should set an example and single him out all the more. Bakrie should pay a LOT of money to the victims, and be fined a HUGE amount for what he did. If this is done, maybe other conglomerates and businessmen will think twice before running away from their responsibilities. We can't all just sit still and say, "everybody does it anyway, so why bother," can we?

So here I am, writing a love letter for Bakrie, that some people might perceive more as dissing. But it's not. I swear. Just look at the title of this post.

Dear Ichal,

Pay up, man. don't you think it's embarrassing to be fucking wealthy but act like you cannot set aside some money of millions to help those you have 'helped' to become even less fortunate then they were to begin with?

You could make your children and wife sell some of their jewelries and perhaps a couple hundred of their Hermès bags. Or if that's beneath you, there's always the option of allocating their 2009 shopping budget for the mud victims. I'm sure that budget will be enough for at least 100 houses, maybe more.

Come on, dude, grow a heart. And some testicles. While you're at it, why not pay and own up to your responsibilities too? I'm sure you'll be appreciated.


Much Love,

You should've signed it with a picture of you fiving him the middle finger, or "Much hatred" lol

Anyway I don't think he has any balls left. Probably they're all dried up n shite, his wife already turned it into a coins purse for one of her leather collections. Yuck.

And here I was reading this right after I read the latest edition of Globe Asia where he was #1 on the Rich List.

Surely paying some would stil make him to the top of the list. Good gawd.

While at it, the Hermes bags. Yes, indeed. I have seen countless colours and types worn by his wife and children!!!

Some people (geleng geleng pala gw..)

InesT said...

Hopefully one of his families will read your “love letter” Rim…Very brave!!
That’s why I like you Sista..

Elyani said...

You might be waiting a while for a reply, Rim :)

Rob Baiton said...

Maybe Bakrie or one of his family members will drop by for a personal visit next time they are in Belgium!

Miss Lai Lai: Yes, some people (ikut geleng geleng kepala. lol)

InesT: Well, I like you too.. this thing between you me and they, is turning lesbian-esque pretty quick. lol

Elyani: I know, i'm still waiting, no reply. he doesnt love me anymore methinks..

Rob Baiton: I doubt it rob, but if they do, I will print out this letter and give it to them.

Yonna: bukan surat putus kok yon, ini 'tough love' letter. lol
