I think it's true. Indonesian people don't used to apply sportsmanship yet in daily life, but some of us succeed of applying it in competition such as, basketball game and the ironic is what I mentioned about "some of us" are mostly children, teenagers . If one of them lose in a competition they would shake hands and reviewed why they lose, what need to be maintain ed or improved. Because of technology and knowledge development and globalization also, Indonesian people's mind should have opened up and realized that we couldn't do everything in old and feodal ways no more, we couldn't say mine is right, yours is wrong.
Just look at the contestants that failed to be elected in President Election, they seems hard to say congrats to the elected President. One of them has said that yesterday, and everybody in Indonesia salute him, it is a good example for us especially Indonesia is democratic country.
But the other one until now still don't want to congrats instead they want to prosecute the elected president and KPU (The Election Commission) to Constitutional Court because they lose. They said that this election is deceitful, the elected president is not legal so the elected must be repeated.
It's shameless!! didn't they know that more than half people in their neighbour (and our neighbours too!) vote for SBY? why do they close their eyes, ears and mind?
Face the reality! Fix anything that must be fixed! people don't trust you anymore! don't be arogant! It's not same anymore..
I think you're supposed to learn with the children and teenagers as I mentioned above as your teacher..
