Kejadian yang dialami Prita merupakan bukti kasat mata, dampak dari neoliberalisme dimana kekuatan pasar bebas dengan lembaga-lembaga multi-nasionalnya dapat dengan mudah menggunakan hukum seperti UU Informasi Transaksi Elektronik yang tampaknya memang dibuat untuk memuluskan kepentingan neolib dengan mengalahkan kepentingan asasi (kebebasan ekspresi) rakyat kecil yang nampaknya di era pasar bebas ini, sulit menjadi tuan rumah di negeri sendiri.

Well done for being the first to jump on the Prita bandwagon. It's a wonderful opportunity for you to show us your motherly side. We applaud you for convincing the Police to commute her detention to house-arrest. With five years of the KPK behind us, some of us had forgotten how Indonesian justice really works.

We applaud you and your advisers for re-inventing 'neoliberalism' to mean... um... I'm sorry, Ibu, but I'm still not clear on this. Does it mean anything in particular? Or do you intend to use it as a general slur, like "idiot", "moron" or "communist"?

We praise you for your legal prowess. We were clearly wrong in our assumption that it was Police ignorance that saw Prita locked up. Thank you for putting us right. It was the Neoliberals! Death to the Neoliberals! Surely, this makes Prita a National Hero?

A hyper-opinionated bule with a deep fondness for Indonesia. Mildly outraged but mostly harmless.
