Undang- Undang Militer Indonesia (Indonesian Military Enforcement)- Is the Indonesian Government out of their minds?!?

A couple of days ago, news was circulating about a new law that was taken into consideration. The Indonesian government intended to put a law that enforced military enrollment from the age of 18-45. What appeared strange was that the law didn’t state that all must participate in the new law. On the other hand it did write about only some parties that the government choose must enroll in. Basically, the people from the age 18-45 men/female must enroll in the military if the government chooses him/her. To take into consideration, Indonesia is well- known for its corruption. Moreover if this law comes into place, the government may generate more revenue from the corrupted money several people are keen to pay at the cost of not registering for thehttp://images.forbes.com/media/lists/6/2006/corrupt_01.jpg military. In my opinion, if Indonesia started to distribute this law the government’s main aim is for the Chinese-Indonesian population living in Indonesia. Generically Chinese-Indonesian is wealthier than the national population, which the government may take into consideration. If this outbreak actually did happen, you can bet that the remaining population of around 10% Chinese-Indonesian living in Indonesia would decline immensely. Our best hope, being Chinese-Indonesian is for the government to reconsider distributing the law or to create the law to be more practical for everyone.

it is just so obvious that this kind of law is made with a single purpose: to discriminate indonesian chinese. Looking back to may 98 tragedy, we can conclude that indonesian goverments always use their barbaric stupid brain to put pressure on their own part of nation (indonesian chinese)
Let me tell u guys what will happen: rich indonesian chinese will have to pay lots of money to escape this military enforcement, while those who can't afford to pay will have to join the militery training and being discriminated during the whole process ( what i mean by "discriminated" here are: physical abuse, mental abuse, unfair punishment, etc)
Indonesian military is the most fucked up in the world for sure, some citizen can even pay the army for their own advantage (including protection from law, using their power to abuse business rivals, etc) AND THE MOST PATHETIC THING IS: they are ONLY strong against their own citizen. well as we know during a fight over the ownership on an island with malaysia, indonesian military cant even fight back, when they were attacked by malaysian military, HOW SAD WAS THAT
