A disaster struck again. On dawn of March 27, 2009, the dam of situ gintung in Ciputat, Banten was broken and the water from the dam, formed a tidal wave and swept the populated area below the dam. The tragedy has left with 77 fatalities and more than 100 still missing, most probably perished too. My condolences for the victims and the affected families.
I read several news about the disaster and I only found stupidity after stupidity of indonesian officials. The disaster itself should've been avoided if only the Public Works Ministry (Departemen Pekerjaan Umum) took heed and reacted swiftly after receiving alarming reports about the dam, one of the reports came from a member of indonesian board of technology research and implementation (BPPT), sometime in 2006!
This is a grim example of how ignorance could lead to fatal consequences and indonesians are, undoubtedly, very good at it.
It seems that the curse on the indonesian government and officials is not lifted yet.
