Indonesia FUK YEAH gems: TIFATUL SEMBIRING!!!!!

Wednesday, 12 January 2011 ·


This man, Tifatul Sembiring, is the best asset Indonesia has right now. He totally fucking kicks ass. He is the only public official on the planet who can make offensive jokes and commits blunder statements on a regular basis yet still keep his job.

Below is a compilation of Tifatul's greatest blunders I've ever recorded:

1. The Information and Technology Minister apparently doesn't have a clue what the fuck open source softwares are:
In the article above, Tifatul defined open source software as “software that is domestically developed using local language”. WTF? Even Roy Suryo, whose credibility in IT is relatively questionable by some practitioners, laughed at Tifatul's definition of "open source". In Tifatul’s next tweets, however, he tried to evade further public shame by declaring that his previous statement was not meant as a definition of “open source”, rather his explanation on the “Open Source 2010 Award” event. Yeah, fucking right.... You know what is even more pathetic? Tifatul also said in another update that there was no need to debate the definition of “open source” because people could easily find it on Google. Perhaps he should've done what he preached in the first place.....

2. Tifatul opened confidential state data in public:
In that article above, Tifatul said: "Indonesia would need to spend Rp 30 trillion [US$3.2 billion] a month on a war with Malaysia,”. He tweeted that. Yes, only a God damn moron would tweet about war-budget of his country for the whole fucking world to see. He literally opened our fuckin' military power not only to the Indonesian people, but also possibly our own enemies! War budget is supposed to be confidential! Had the State Secrecy Bill had been endorsed by the House of Representatives, Tifatul was punishable by dead penalty!

3. Tifatul puts the blame on his hypocrisy to United States first lady Michelle Obama:
Tifatul has been restlessly campaigning that he is a true Islam soldier and he will never ever hand shake with women who are not related by blood nor married to him. Hats up for that. I don't have any problem with his believes. But then again, he showed hypocrisy in its finest form when he accused that Michelle Obama "forced her hands onto him" when they both shook hands during Barack Obama's visit to Indonesia. Google for the video in YouTube and see for yourself how "forceful" Michelle was. What I see was a pervert man with a pervert smile took the hands of Michelle and puts them closer to his chest. The whole fucking world saw what happened and read Tifatul's denial. The whole fucking world laughed at us and we fucking deserved it. Why? Because Tifatul was wearing the symbol of our country and we choose the President that appoint him as a minister. We choose a dumbo who appointed an idiot. This madness should've stopped by now had the President posses any common sense in his brain cells.....

4. Tifatul said natural disaster was a curse from God while people were dying in two different regions from natural disasters:
Hundreds and thousands of helpless civilians were dying in Yogyakarta and in Mentaway, and instead of thinking on how Tifatul could use his ministry's infrastructure to help the victim, he choose to tweet about "how nations which commit adultery deserve Godly condemnation" instead.... How fucking sensitive of him. The absence of the state during those disasters was not only represented by Tifatul, but the whole God damn government apparatus in a whole. Mentawai was left leader-less when its governor opted to go to Germany to discuss about investments ventures, the people in Yogyakarta helped each other using their own independent network called Jalin Merapi. What Tifatul said in his tweet only made things worse and did not help at all.

5. Tifatul joked about people living with AIDS and did not apologize:
This is the creme-de-la-creme of Tifatul's error. HE MADE STEREOTYPICAL JOKES ON PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS AS A PUBLIC OFFICIAL!!!!!! Tifatul tweeted that AIDS stood for Akibat Itunya Ditaruh Sembarangan, meaning in English, “caused by reckless use of one’s penis”. That tweet sparked anger and Tifatul tried to justify himself that what he said was a quote made a former health minister. Regardless of his justification, his tweet showed that he agreed with such an insensitive stereotype of people living with AIDS. An HIV-positive infected person in Twitter was so outraged by Tifatul's tweet that he said would "murder" Tifatul for that tweet. The HIV-infected person, however, is now a bit calm and probably would only want to punch the minister in the face. Anger also come from Tifatul's peers at the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), of which he was once a president. A close friend of mine in that party deemed Tifatul as an "idiot" for that joke. "Doesn't he have any idea that there are a lot of children living with AIDS out there? Those children have never had sex to be infected by HIV. That statement is moronic and idiotic. He [Tifatul] only puts shame on our party," that friend of mine told me.

The latest blunder was when Tifatul threatened to close down Blackberry services because the device did not filter porn content. After heavy public criticism, he then tried to "rationalize" his argument using "nationalism", "taxes" and other yabba-jabba-dadda-bullshit terms which he probably understands as much as what "open source" is.

And yeah, even with those "world class" blunders, Tifatul remains Indonesia's information and technology minister. In other countries, if a public official conducts at least one of the above blunders, he or she would have been fired right away, but then again, our nation is so fucking forgiving that we will allow him to commit more and more blunders in the future simply because "he is only human" and "humans make mistakes from time to time". Yes. We are so God damn forgiving that it sickens me....

Indonesia is, definitely, FUK YEAH!!!!!!
