Acclaimed Marxist, Crazy Rich, and Stole BILLION [RUPIAH of] Scholarship
This note for every poor[est] student who never ever get scholarship because a lot of slots - scholarship goes to crazy rich.
Berlin 8.02pm
Actually very tired after badminton. Just grabbed my cellphones and read some very disturbing facts. How ultra rich (originally from her parents), also already sign multiple contract (at least 16 brands, years ago), and STILL begging to get a scholarship from TAXPAYER, from Indonesian taxpayer (named LPDP / lembaga pengelola dana pendidikan) SCHOLARSHIP, when she started studying abroad, her scholarship maybe worth/package 1 billion rupiah), and, harmlessly said “I’m marxist.”
My little brother is still in Singapore, when a hilarious - pathetic story (circulated in reddit) about Maudy Ayunda and her mom on KBRI Singapore (Indonesia Embassy building in Singapore), (in the moment celebrating) Singapore Independence Day. Yes, my lil bro never ever received an Indonesia scholarship. He takes out a “loan agreement” with the Singapore government so he can study in Nanyang. But I'm angry not about or because my lil bro. But because a lot of poor(est) students never ever get an access for LPDP, because 89 - 93% slot of the LPDP every year goes to crazy rich families.
Imagine: your (crazy rich) parent arguably too often showing fortune in real life and social media, but you as children, still begging to get LPDP scholarship. Still stole money from the taxpayer, although your parents actually can pay your tuition fee abroad. Current package LPDP is now around 3-4.5 billion rupiah per year per person, depends on choice of university [by elected awardee]. And poorest, sadly, very few to get this scholarship.
I hear currently not only 300 - 400 [according to investigation by internal LPDP last March 2023], but reaches [more than] 700 awardees LPDP defect or change his/her citizenship, after enjoy taxpayer money around billion rupiah per year per person.
Cannot believe what she [Maudy] say about blaze of national museum. After landed in Indonesia [after] vacation in Lake Como Italy, she gets interviewed by some journo if she one day to be minister of education, with, no blink, underestimate the work of a teacher. Indonesia minister of education not only managing education issue, but also evacuating collections & historical objects, repatriation.

Trying to work out what's going on, what happens next. Arch enemies of the tobacco industry, (still) survive after getting doxed. Now figure out, or, prevent catastrophic situations in the Indonesian administration from outside the government. After his mom was nearly killed by a syndicate, now I do it (catch all these blunders, especially blunders by an asshole syndicates) for free. Writer actually facing 12 years attack-simultaneously (physically terror, cyberattack terror) by his (ex) friend in IR UGM / HI UGM (all of them actually indebted to me, at least get a very cheap book). 2 times, my mom nearly got assassinated by my friend with “komplotan” / weird syndicate. Once assassin, forever is assassin, that I was facing in years. I push myself to be (keep) dovish, pacifist, and you can read my pacifist tone in every note I write. A framing that myself propagated for years.
(Very rare compliment and initiative pledge. Thank you. Yes, even a lot of people associated me PRAVDA, not part of MIUCCIA PRADA. I’m literally asshole on debate, since in college). Especially after heated between Putin and Prigozhin. My note-live blog about Russia - Ukraine already click-read 4 millions.
