From an opinion piece in the Jakarta daily Kompas titled ‘The House of Representatives and Eradicating Corruption’.

Kid: So what’s crooked, you or the building?

Legislator: The camera.

Kid: So where’s your commitment to the ideal of serving the people’s interests?

Lawmaker: In spite of not turning up for work, falling asleep during hearings, using my position to earn extra on the side, throwing bribes around... nevertheless I do represent the prosperity of the ordinary people...

Man: Going sightseeing Mr?

Legislator: It’s a working visit don’t you know!

Kid: The Republic of Clowns League welcomes the world cup!

Tongue reads Aspiration fund

Lia Harahap, Jakarta – Three people wearing masks with pictures of pigs on them brought a clay earthen pitcher. They also waved monopoly money in the air.

Man: It’s looking more and more crooked yeah...? (Bag reads aspiration fund)

Kid: Dad... 6.7 trillion, how many zeros has that go in it?
