1. Whilst everyone can commiserate with the deaths and injury created by the deranged Iranian refugee, out on bail in Sydney...it's also relevant to RI because it gives the Australian Gov't more ammunition to insist on its 'prevent refugee's from reaching our shores policy'.
So Indonesian Gov't should think about what to do with those transiting refugees getting stuck in Indonesia.
2. In addition to the disaster in Central Java there's also news from Bali Discovery that 2 Harley Davidson drivers died in accidents. I didn't see that report, including the Governors reprimand, elsewhere....
"Criticized from many quarters, including reprimands from Bali’s Governor for arrogant behavior when traveling Bali’s roads, a convoy of “big bikes” traveling across Bali has claimed the life of one of the motorcyclists on Sunday, November 30, 2014.
Killed while riding his Harley Davidson was Kadek Putra Negara (43) in the Sempidi area of Bali, not far from the Regent’s office complex.
The accident occurred at 4:20 p.m. when Negara’s motorcycle slipped while negotiating a corner putting the man’s body in the path on an oncoming truck. The accident took place in heavy rain when, according to DenPost, a group of 15 riders were traveling from the north on Jalan Raya Sempidi. Negara’s bike slipped sending his body into the oncoming lane where a truck drove over the man’s body.
While Kadek Putra Negara’s head was not crushed by the oncoming truck due to the protection afforded by a helmet, his neck was broken in the accident leaving him dead at the scene.
The truck and driver that collided with Negara reportedly fled the scene.
The group of 15 “big bike” riders was returning from an outing to Baturiti Village in Tabanan, West Bali. The police did not provide an escort for the group at the time of the accident."
Another Harley Accident....
"A separate accident on Saturday, December 6, 2014, claimed the life of Ferry Koedrat (43) who died while driving his Harley Davidson "big bike" near Kerambitan, West Bali.
The man, from Bandung, West Java, suffered massive and instant fatal head injuries when he tried to overtake a vehicle and struck a truck head on.
The man was declared dead at the scene."
