Indonesia will continue to be harassed Malaysia

By: Yoedi Karyono

What's important outcome of the meeting / negotiations between Indonesia-Malaysia Kinabalu September 6, 2010. Does not exist and is not important. That's one of the loudest response from the majority of Indonesian intellectuals. Very bad reaction to the Indonesian government's attitude from within country much stronger when compared to the reaction of Malaysia as a negotiating partner. Negotiations between the two neighboring countries, after the arrest of three Indonesian officers by Police Diradja Malaysia on August 13 last. At Indonesia teritory.

''The President of Indonesia and the Indonesian Government should and could have been lenient. But the whole Indonesian people will not be soft, and will never be soft on all the harassment by Malaysia,''said Rizal Ramli, a former minister of economy in the era of President Abdurrahman Wahid.

Malaysia's brazen attitude towards Indonesia conducted a massive, both by the government, its officials and residents. Why, they feel more than the nation of Indonesia. They feel smarter, richer and more dignified. Indon designation of the Indonesian people that they do consciously and the fair is an insult to the people of Indonesia.

Attitude of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) is soft and slow and this is a very timid exploited Malaysia. ''Yudhoyono delivered his speech in Cilangkap, Headquarters of the generals, who previously also stated that in order not to compromise sovereignty, totally ignored Malaysia. Why, indeed the president's reaction was not a strong signal, so totally ignored,''said Rizal.

According to Rizal, in diplomacy can not be done by this bland and mushy. If you want to do in diplomacy must have a strong self-confidence, and if necessary step on the opposite leg first.

SBY, is very weak and helpless against Malaysia. Why, he did not know what to do with nearly three million Indonesian people who became workers in Malaysia. Malaysian investment in Indonesia fear withdrawn if there is something between the two countries. Should have done''is how to unlock new jobs and overcome the Indonesian population who work in Malaysia if they are forced to go home,''he said.

A careful calculation of these two countries actually kekekuatan Indonesia is still far superior, Indonesia to the world economic rankings at number 22, while Malaysia in rankings at number 45. But because of personal weakness is also its president and his administration system, then everything becomes hesitant. When compared with military weapons systems of both countries, Malaysia is far superior.

''But Malaysia's army was the army who are afraid to die and they never directly kill his opponent. They fear death because they receive large salaries, the army salon and decoration only, as with other Indonesian soldiers who, despite their military arsenal is not good, but they are very well trained to kill people, they were tested in Aceh, Ambon and other conflict areas, ' 'said Permadi SH mouthpiece claiming to be the first Indonesian president Sukarno.

According Permadi Indonesian diplomacy and diplomats, including SBY is very weak and can not be expected, so do not blame if the reaction does not believe in the ability to deal with SBY in Malaysia will increase. Highly successful diplomacy must be backed a strong sense of confidence there is even adage ci vis Pacem Parra bellum (if you're ready then to be ready to fight)

The reaction was disappointed over the attitude of SBY increasingly widespread even among religious organizations that have broad influence, Muhammadiyah not like the attitude of the president. ''President SBY is a reactive person. But for small things, for example about the case of a porn video. But for the important cases of abuse of Malaysia against Indonesian officials, the president did not react. This is an irresponsible attitude,''said Dien Syamsudin central executive chairman of Muhammadiyah.

The Indonesian people's anger against harassment by Malaysia reached a peak. After the Indonesian government about the arrest was slow to react and Indonesian officers only seven thieves exchanged with Malaysian fish previously captured Indonesian officers. Building Embassy of Malaysia to Indonesia in Jakarta one of them as the target of anger, even the building was pelted with excrement.

This is a Malaysian fishing reactions. Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Amman loud that even Malaysia's patience has run out. Yet ahead of neighboring countries has been too often violated, how many twenty maids from Indonesia and even tortured to death, claims of Malaysia for Indonesian arts, culinary even Indonesian islands are also often claimed. And now there are 177 Indonesian citizens on death row in Malaysia.

However, during this Malaysian officials if there reaski Indonesian officials, they always cover that we are allied brothers, neighbors and kin for the sake juga semangat ASEAN And it was all kecil yang problem can soon overcome, and fair course antara two countries would bertengga there are differences of opinion.

Actually, shame''if Indonesia should conflict with Malaysia especially when it comes to war. These same two neighboring countries with a majority of the population is Muslim, that should do not just neighbors, but your relationship. Also among the kingdoms in Malaysia is still a strong relationship with the royal blood of Indonesia, especially Sumatra and Sulawesi,''said Dien.

But, Malaysia has the ability to feel better, especially the ability of the economy and also felt she could have a maid and even a few domestic servants from Indonesia and was regarded as low employment, the growing sense of arrogance and contempt for the country and neighboring nations. Malaysia''is the New Rich (OKB) in ASEAN, and they feel superior. Also has a neighboring Indonesia, which is considered highly dependent on Malaysia as well as a weak national leader, the Malaysian becoming more brazen,''said Permadi.

Related to the border of the two countries, Malaysia did not want to accept United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), Since 1983, most coastal states have claimed exclusive economic zones (EEZs) over the Seas Extending 320 km (200 mi) from on their coastline. The EEZ is one of the main principles. ''If the country feels more civilized neighbors accept this then the case of Cape rafting, Sipadan Ligitan, Ambalat in the future and there are other cases will never happen,''said Prof. Hikmahanto Juwana, international observer from the University of Indonesia.

If this country enough guts and memilki memilki a very strong army, as well as economic conditions are very strong, the UNCLOS implementation very easy. During this stay on the map of Malaysia 1979. To solve this problem need not involve a third party. Why, if the third party involved, then some of our sovereignty means entrusted to them and the results will be tragic.

''Never mind, a meeting on September 6, 2010 at Kinabalu absolutely no use, strengthen only in the country. Nonsense diplomacy will succeed if not supported by sufficient military force,''he said.

In addition to the border issue at sea, the land border is also often claimed by Malaysia for the sake of economic gain. According to Prof. Andre Patton, Head of the Border in Borneo, boundaries are often moved several miles into the territory of Indonesia and Malaysian soldiers spent the wood is really on the territory of Indonesia, and the Indonesian government is not powerless against it.

Indonesia's territory''at the frontier in general is very poor and neglected, whereas in other countries across sudah living area is very affluent and this condition is very tempting, except that our officers with whom they often work together to steal the timber in his own country, and their want because they are economically very neglected and mentally also less good,''he said.

Until whenever, continued Andre, Malaysia will continue to create problems, which took place during the administration is still corrupt, do not pay attention to their military power, especially the guard the border, and also let the poor people, to become a housemaid just have to go abroad, they were tortured and humiliated.

In addition, the existing development, Indonesian officials, diplomats and even the president was impressed very much afraid of Malaysia's economic strength and even their very impressed defend the interests of Malaysia and became a spokesperson for the government and the interests of Malaysia, then do not blame if a wave of protests and resentment for this to Malaysia will turn to the President and also of Indonesian officials. And Malaysia to win again, because between elements within Indonesia are not united. (www.rainbowdiplomacy.com/picture:facebook)
