Freedom of Expression

It is true that no body is perfect. Consequently, every body will face persons who like him and those who dislike him. Commonly, people who like us will view us from the good side and therefore, the can tolerate well to our mistakes. On the other hand, people who dislike us will view us from the bad sides and therefore they will too critical to us and cannot tolerate to our mistakes.

In the real world, like and dislike are two sides of a coin and they have very-very thin and transparent border. People who previously dislike to some body can eventually like him and the reverse. The logical reason is that people who dislike some body will look at him very-very in detail and this eventually will make them understand him well.

As the suggestion, don't hate somebody crazily and don't love somebody crazily or you will be really crazy.

In the real world, people in general can be categorized into two main groups, i.e. speaker and listener. Good speaker not surely become good listener, and the reverse. Usually, the speakers are slow in learning while the listeners are fast learners.

I don't know whether it is a matter of choice or not. Shall speaker learns to become a good listener? or shall listener learns to become a good speaker?

A good friendship shall be build based on trust, and not money. A real friend is someone who will keep being beside us in all conditions. Sometimes, friendship is made in difficult condition, when the two sides are in hard condition.

Road or highway is a place where motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle can move. Road density is different from one place to another. Higher level density road means higher risk of accident. Some people say that road is like a battle field in which road users, including pedestrian and bicyclist, can get killed that sometimes not because of their own mistakes.

Several countries have enforced traffic regulation regarding road safety, stating that all motor vehicle shall yield to pedestrian and bicyclist. Demerit points will be given to those do not yield to pedestrian and bicyclist.

In real condition, particularly in Indonesia, it is quite difficult to find driver or rider who yields to pedestrian and bicyclist. Most drivers and riders usually drive and ride in such a way so that they can arrive at the destination as fast as possible. As the result, they break traffic regulation or sign, e.g. red light running, speeding, etc. Indonesian people, can you yield to pedestrian and bicycle?

Dear Indonesian People,

If you are truly Indonesian People, born in Indonesia, growth in Indonesia, life in Indonesia, getting food and welfare in Indonesia, please, hear the sound of Indonesian earth: Don't exploit irresponsibly! Take care of me! I have been overload, so please do not add any!

In Indonesia, motorcycle is considered as a cheap, simple transportation mode. It is quite easy to acquire motorcycle since several dealers have provided credit selling in which the buyers may pay the motorcycle for certain period of time. As the result, sale rate of motorcycle in Indonesia increases drastically. More than 1 million motorcycles are sold every month.

As the consequence, the number of motorcycle running on the road is increasing that increase the traffic jam. In addition, it will increase the emission gas that subsequently will increase the GHG effect. Nothing can the government do?

There are actually several actions the government can take. One of them is an effort to limit the number of motorcycle. The limitation includes the CC of motorcycle. For example, the government can apply high level of motorcycle tax or value added tax. For preventive action, the government shall established a regulation stating that each motorcycle manufacture may sell certain number of motorcycle in certain period of time.

The CC of motorcycle should be limited as well. The CC of commercial motorcycle should not above the CC of police motorcycle. It would be useful for the police department particularly in the effort to enforce traffic regulation. With higher CC, policeman is to be easier to catch road users breaking the traffic laws, for example, red light running.

1. that an accident can happens because we loss attention for just two seconds before the accident?
2. that red light running endanger other road users?
3. that speeding can increase the accident risk?
4. that unnecessarily driving slowly can result in traffic jam?
5. that taking over school bus endanger the children?
