Bloggers in Indonesia took an initiative to make a petition that was addressed to The President of Republic Indonesia to close IPDN down. IPDN is an Homeland Government Institute in Indonesia, an institute to shape Senior High School graduates came from all of Indonesia regions to become high level government officer at their own province or resident.
The IPDN was successfully made itself as a famous institution because its ability to make its student a dead man, killed by the senior students. The Indonesian people still had clear memories in their head that in 2003, there was Wahyu Hidayat that found to be dead by his seniors. It shocked everybody in Indonesia early this month because Cliff Muntu, a student from North Sulawesi also killed by his seniors.
The additional facts that increased the anger of Indonesians are the Wahyu Hidayat's assassins still free out there and became government officer peacefully. The 10 killers were not put into jail liked what the Prime Justice has sentenced. Then, people are told that the body of Cliff Muntu was injected by formaline before sent to be investigated.
After many posts made by Bloggers in Indonesia, some of them initiated an online petition to close IPDN down. The petition was hosted on Petition Online. It will be sent to President Yudhoyono and IPDN Evaluation Team before the team taking final recommendation to the President.
I will not in a reluctant position to persuade you Indonesian anywhere to sign the petition. It was enough for us to give IPDN chance to repair itself. After the dead of Wahyu Hidayat, The Government of Indonesia has changed the institution name from STPDN to IPDN and changed the STPDN Head to a new IPDN Rector. But, IPDN and I Wayan S (The Rector) were both stupid and did not want to change the violence culture in the institution.
I don't agree that The Government fund their education anymore. It's enough. How IPDN graduates will serve people if they learn that the only way to face juniors is to hit or kick them? IPDN students are prepared to be government officers that have to provide public service to citizens. If they faces and conducts violence everyday, the will not provide service with the way it should be provided but they will serve us with the way their memories can remember what have been taught to them.
Go to the Petition To Close IPDN Down and sign it.
