The Great Gig in Acheh's Sky

Maybe not even a gig, but a continuation of gigantic concerts and dramas from a public figure that has been so mysterious in the past 30 years, these media and public events were directed by a group of oligarchs.

Not many newspapers and news channels have been able to meet him in person and publish a details piece of article. The only one that I remember was an interview with FEER magazine, where he blames Indonesia for its wrongdoing in Acheh.

The figure of Hasan Tiro, once again immerse in the case of Acheh. The nation was hit by earth quake and massive tidal waves, the tsunami in December 2004. Immediately after the calamity, a plan for peace between Acheh and Indonesia was arranged. Without consent of its entire population, a peace deal was signed in Helsinki, and the oligarch led by Malek Mahmud, signed an agreement on behalf of the Achenese with a claim that Hasan Tiro was committed to the peace process. A claim is being questioned by some Achenese, who know that His Excellency is not in the same condition as prior to 1997. In that years a stroke hits him, although with a decent threatment and therapy, he no longer has his best ability in producing his thought and writing.

No matter how bad his situation, everyone deserves to know the truth. But the truth has been denied to those of Achenese people who filled streets of Banda Acheh to hear his voice and look at the face of their inspiration. But the event has been directed, and manipulized in any manner, intended by the oligarch. The best evidence so far is the RCTI GATE where the station has broadcasted intrepretation words of interview on many Achenese's tv screens, rather than provide the actual texts of it. The station attempts to broadcast an interview with their opinion in the transcript that translated in bahasa. Which is very contradict to the true translation in Bahasa.

The show must go on, and the show in Acheh's sky with DR. Hasan Tiro as a single dominant character, who is being potrayed as a perfect figure still despite his condition as an elderly person. Everyone believes that nothing can be hidden forever from the public sight, and the journalist and media that keep the truth will pay their price for betraying their own codes of ethic
