Preman amat sih loe ?

I do not know much about it. But I am very sure that the word Premanism is not on your Oxford English dictionary.

There is this news about a girl gang that bullies their new recruits in Central Java. They called themselves as Nero Gang.

The member is arrested by the police recently because a new recruit tell the police about their activities. They also manage to tape their activity with Hand phone…which is a very stupid idea considering what they have done is against the law.

I though that only happen in the movie or the world of man….but i was wrong, even now the girls just doing it without hesitation.

When the police ask them why they did that, they said that they did not know why. It’s jut that all of their senior doing it to them a couple years back when they are stills a new recruit, its like walk blindly to something that you did not know the cause.

I believe that a lot of us sometimes doing it too. We do something that we do not know why…the why something that we forget is. We loose our passion for something else which seems more valuable…but it does not actually.

This event of course jolts all the member parents, junior or senior. The lack of understanding about their daughter activity is something that they should be ashamed of. The Nero gang member is all girls from between 15 to 19 years old. How could you have a slightly idea about it? Especially when you are at central Java, when the cultures still suppress the woman in society to act aggressively in all social aspect of live. We are talking about the most modest people in the land of Indonesia. They often say sorry for something they just want to do or they did not do. Paternalistic hierarchy in Javanese people is so subtle that somehow a girl be force to married when they just 15 years old because their parents said so.

Like it or not this is what happening in Indonesia and we have to deal with it. If there is such things in Central java, who could guarantee that it is not happen in another part of Indonesia, such as Jakarta or Surabaya which are among the biggest city in Indonesia.

Ever since the STPDN incident last year this is the biggest news about premanism in Indonesia.
