Public Election
The latest headline on the news interests me so much is the new chosen Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd. He defeated John Howard who had lost trust from most of Australian citizen of the policies he made, and who also made the bilateral connection of Aus-Ind worse in recent years. I hope this new Australian PM will make Aus-Ind connection better.
Some interesting things about Kevin Rudd and this latest election are:
1. Mr. Rudd can speak Chinese very well (nice.. Taiwan media reports that he had ever studied Chinese language at Shi Da, I guess this can benefit Taiwan to increase their bilateral relationship)
2. SBY is reported to be the first international President that made a call to congrat him, and Kevin also stated SBY as the president he thanked in his first success speech. And he is scheduled to visit Indonesia next month, and that will be his first visit overseas. (Wish this will make our relationship better)
3. Kevin's daughter in law is from Hong Kong. (I admire this so much.. haha.. what a multicultural family)
I think this election is established so efficiently. Although Australia hasn't been able to make it through online vote (like Estonia), BUT they can already have the election result in just 2 hrs after the election process ended. And I didn't hear any demonstrations or controversies happened during the election. And Australians (and hopefully the world) are satisfied with the result.
This news reminds me that I'm already eligible enough to cast my vote. I wish the next Indonesia election can establish in an efficient and effective way, too. I'm eager to participate in it!

Apart from the topic above, I'm really concern about the world (and economy) condition nowadays. I'm curious about if there will a big change/ big thing happens in this world, as America's economy getting weaker which imposes a lot to the world's economiy (esp. in Asia); China is getting stronger; India, Vietnam, and Phillipines comes out as the new celebrity country; Malaysia's big demonstration towards discrimination issues; Climate changes, natural disasters; M-community which largens the scale between the rich and the poor. Ah.. There are just many many more things that I concern.
