Fantastic! Excellent use of state funds.

They should follow up with a KPK investigation to see if these upholders of the moral code took a little something for themselves.

Fifteen million dollars for a web crawler generating a list of websites to block? That's a sweet gig if you can get it. Definitely KPK-worthy.

There's sure to be come cuttin' up and distribution of the meat from that fat hog. Who says Indonesians don't like pork?

Money is nice but the real fun is being the person who looks at the websites to, er, "verify" that they are pornographic and should be blocked.

That’s sad, I suppose they do men’s nipples too, it’s a bit like the previous President was upset by the sight of ladies belly buttons.

It’s sad really these people are so stupid, instead of salting their I’ll gotten gains into a Swiss bank or something like that, they buy houses and cars, the MPR chap I know has five houses and four big cars,

I hope it is not another "corruption" case.

It is almost certain Indonesia will be running a budget deficit this year, and next year, bonds will be maturing. And government still keep on spending on things like this?

It doesn’t seem to make any difference, it seems it’s a perk of the job, they get a slap on the wrist, minimum time in jail and a fine that makes no difference to the corrupters wealth, more like a fine on unpaid tax, unless some real punishment is dished out it will be businesses as usual
