A few days ago my husband told me a sad story of what happened to a small shop owner recently. After april 16th beer was not allowed to be sold in mini markets but this woman continued to sell as she was an "agen" and not a mini market. She is a nice woman...sitting there everyday selling everything from pampers to beverages at a good price...which she will quote to you after she punches numbers into her old school calculator. But the other day she told my husband she had been approached by an group of civilians (oganisasi masyarakat yang mengatasnamakan suku tertentu). After several racial slurs (she is of Chinese descent) they proceeded to accuse her of breaking the law by selling beer after april 16th, threatened to burn down her store, and then they stole all of the beer that she had in stock. No doubt after that they took off their turbans and drank the beer they stole. How does stuff like this happen?! When will people here start treating "strangers" with a similar level of respect and kindness that they show their friends and family? Do we want to continue robbing and cheating others so we can provide for our families? Wouldn't it be nice if we just stopped doing that altogether and helped each other grow and prosper? Luckily I've had better luck here than the Ibu from that shop, but just hearing about that happening saddens me deeply. Where is the voice of the Indonesia I have grown to know and love? Please stop allowing these things to happen. I can't do anything...I'm even worse than a stranger...I'm an orang asing :-( I'm lucky I'm allowed to make youtube videos! I feel blessed you have subscribed to me and given me a voice... Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Anyway. Peace out...and Sok, subscribe! Thanks for watching and please share if you like the ending. I'm experimenting with a new format: ending on a good positive note. Love You! Daaaaa!
