I was so happy knowing that Lapindo issue has been just exposed again. It was still clear in my mind, how it became so boring being trapped in Porong traffic jam last year end. At that time, it was the part of my job to travel Surabaya-Malang several times. Our schedule then was sometimes failed due to this uncertain travel time.
Day by day, Surabaya's daily newspapers always put Lapindo on their headlines. Then I hated so much this company, hoping that their mistakes would be greater as the time goes, collecting all the people's anger and waiting them to take revenge against this company. What an excessive dislike, and what an excessive ruthlessness:)
The issue seemed to be faded after Adam Air crash, followed by some mass transport accidents. Last thing I heard is that Lapindo agreed to pay, but the villagers should have the certificate of their land ownership. Something that Lapindo didn't even care when buying the exploration land before. And the latest news, that may be already late, is that Lapindo will buy the sunk houses in several phases.
Thanks God that some people there still have consciousness about their forgotten rights, and keep fighting for it.
Well, keep your land. It's yours.
