PREMANISM

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I do not know much about it. But
I am very sure that the word Premanism is not on your Oxford English
dictionary.

There is this news about a girl
gang that bullies their new recruits in Central Java.They called themselves as Nero Gang.

The member is arrested by the
police recently because a new recruit tell the police about their activities.
They also manage to tape their activity with Hand phone…which is a very stupid
idea considering what they have done is against the law.

I though that only happen in the
movie or the world of man….but i was wrong, even now the girls just doing it
without hesitation.

When the police ask them why they
did that, they said that they did not know why. It’s jut that all of their
senior doing it to them a couple years back when they are stills a new recruit,
its like walk blindly to something that you did not know the cause.

I believe that a lot of us
sometimes doing it too. We do something that we do not know why…the why
something that we forget is. We loose our passion for something else which
seems more valuable…but it does not actually.

This event of course jolts all
the member parents, junior or senior. The lack of understanding about their
daughter activity is something that they should be ashamed of. The Nero gang
member is all girls from between 15 to 19 years old. How could you have a
slightly idea about it? Especially when you are at central Java, when the
cultures still suppress the woman in society to act aggressively in all social
aspect of live. We are talking about the most modest people in the land of Indonesia.

They often say sorry for
something they just want to do or they did not do. Paternalistic hierarchy in
Javanese people is so subtle that somehow a girl be force to married when they
just 15 years old because their parents said so.

Like it or not this is what happening
in Indonesia
and we have to deal with it. If there is such things in Central java, who could
guarantee that it is not happen in another part of Indonesia, such as Jakarta
or Surabaya which are among the biggest city in Indonesia.

Ever since the STPDN incident
last year this is the biggest news about premanism in
Indonesia.
