Pros and Cons of Indonesian President Decision
There are some people who support his decision, but now few people who also disappointed by the decision. One of them who support the decision SBY, Ahmad Muzani from Gerinda Party said that actually the South Maluku Republic (RMS), an organization that wants referendum in South Maluku region and to separate from Indonesia, had no strength anymore, but because it was facilitated by the Netherlands so that they have the strength. On the other hand, the Dutch could not provide security guarantees to the President of Indonesia.
Muzani opinions differ with the opinion of Gayus Tambunan from PDI-P Party. He considered the decision SBY is a fatal decision and other countries can laugh if they hear it, moreover, one of SBY's agenda during his visit to the Netherlands that he will receive letters of recognition of Indonesia's independence, August 17, 1945.
