    This is a great quote in the article: Mrs Nurbaeti, an Indonesian businesswoman, left for Singapore last year after being implicated in a bribery scandal involving dozens of lawmakers. Her husband claims she has been there for medical treatment, for a rare condition that “makes her forgetful”.

    btw, that businesswomen is the wife of a TNI general...the plot thickens
    She also travelled with 'fake' pasports (like Gayus)
    And all of this crap because of some textmessages wich were insulting the presiden of R.I., at least so I've been told.

    Hey Ford, yeah it's the best news magazine in the world.

    The story goes it was the only mag they would let Mandela have for 26 years on Robin Island because they thought it was only about economics.
