Boediono and Sri Mulyani itself seems normal waves which demonstrations are expected to be difficult to stop until it was completed and the opening of the Century Bank controversy.

Normal working

Unfortunately, Boediono did not want to talk respond to large demonstrations attended by some interfaith leaders and the field centered at the National Monument (Monas) in Jakarta. However, the Spokesperson and Vice President of Special Staff Mass Media Division, Yopie Hidayat, said Boediono remained steadfast and continued to work as usual.

"He is not affected by the action. Mr. Boediono remained normal working day. Schedule is actually very solid," he said.

After opening a forum for dialogue in Indonesia Economic telescoped BI Building, Wednesday morning, Boediono accept the leadership of editor of a national daily. Next, accept the Rector of University of Indonesia and continued to accept the Minister of Women Empowerment and Child Protection afternoon.

Prior to his official home, Boediono still have to conduct a meeting with several ministers including Finance Minister and the Governor of BI Nasution Nasution. "After this, Mr. Boediono leading end of the assessment team meetings (TPA) to fill the chair position of echelon I and II, which is still vacant," said Yopie.

Indeed, although not affected, Boediono had confessed was surprised with the reaction of society that emerged a few weeks over his decision with Sri Mulyani menalangai Century Bank. It was expressed at the opening conference that was held to eradicate corruption Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), last week. However, he affirmed his commitment to combat corruption as he promised when campaigning with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, in July last.

Similarly, Sri Mulyani, who delivered several short service message (SMS) was told Kompas until Wednesday (9/12/09) night. "I still work as usual.

"However, if the (delivery) rough action and tends to anarchy, I actually even got sympathy. A lot of emails and SMS sympathetic to me. In fact, there are also trying to entertain and offer assistance. So, balanced ..," said Sri Mulyani.

Like the works of Multatuli Lothario

Of course, as public officials, Sri Mulyani aware of the risks and consequences that must be assuming a healthy decision by Century Bank. At that time, the goal is to penyehatannya not affect the bank systematically on the economy if the bank failed and was liquidated assessed the BI and the government.

Sri Mulyani take lesson with events happening in this present life journey. "This incident reminds me of the novel Max Havelaar (Multatuli's work), especially at the beginning of the trial Lothario with ...," thus Barbertje Sri Mulyani.

Some say what is done Boediono and Sri Mulyani may be true, to save benat Century Bank of the national economic interest. Moreover, both, also known as a professional figure and has as well as personal integrity is so certain that its policy is really a policy of free and clean from corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN).

However, there is also the other opinion. Could be Century Bank's decision to cover it, without his knowledge, used again for the interests of others as accused by an NGO and the rumors in the community today. This is what must be answered, not only by the Special Committee on Rights Questionnaire Parliament, but also by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and other law enforcement agencies.

Nature of dialogue in the courts as Lothario and delivered Barbetje Sri Mulyani, talking about an arbitrary law enforcement against the defendant is not guilty.

Of course, this should not happen against Sri Mulyani and Boediono. Truth is expected to really express what it is all about anyone in the case of Century Bank. When the certain parties who were taking advantage of the decision issued by Sri Mulyani and Boediono as estimated for this, of course they should not be a victim tumbal or alone as Lothario
