Balinese Farmers are Ignoring Moung Agung Warnings

KPK Not Finished With Setya Novanto
House speaker Setya Novanto found a way out of charges that he played a central role in a Rp 2.3 trillion ($170 million USD) corruption case involving the government's electronic ID, or e-KTP, project. Setya's lawyers were able to successfully file a pre-trial motion that reversed his status as a suspect in the case, arguing that some of the evidence used to bring charges against the Golkar politician were based on claims that are yet to be proven in court.

The Jakarta Post, in an editorial, called the lower court's decision a "travesty of justice." The rest of the nation had a different take on the meme-worthy exploits of Setya though—jokingly tweeting about "the power of Setya Novanto." But the KPK remained undeterred, saying that it would work to name him a suspect in the case again. —The Jakarta Post
