Indonesian foundation gives statesmanship award to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un

Rachmawati Soekarnoputri, daughter of Indonesia’s first president Soekarno, said that she plans to give the Soekarno Award to President of North Korea Kim Jong Un after recently meeting with North Korea’s ambassador to Indonesia Ri Jong Ryul.

The notion that Kim Jong Un is a dictator, according to Rachmawati, has come about from Western countries.

“That’s all just western propaganda,” Rachmawati said when the award was confirmed by Kompas.com on Friday.

She sees similarities between the reign of the North Korean supreme leader with that of her father’s reign during Indonesia’s post-independence era. According to her, western countries also considered Soekarno to be a dictator.

“It’s common [to be branded a dictator]. To stand on one’s principles in reaching a goal, many consider this the behavior of a dictator,” said founder and chief of the Soekarno Education Foundation.

Rachmawati thinks of Kim Jong Un as a person who is consistent in living out the idealism built by Kim Il Sung, his grandfather who was also the founder of North Korea.

As such, Rachmawati sees Kim Jong Un as having similar a vision to that of her father Soekarno, who was opposed to neo-colonialist imperialism (Nekolim).

The Foundation had previously handed the same award posthumously to Kim Il Sung in 2001 for his role in peacemaking and independence.

Swiss cheese covered in beluga caviar so he eat it as this is the only way it's going to be any use

to him.....

When she was 3 her mother ran away because of Soekarno's intention to take multiple wives. Her mother was at that time wife number 3. The daughter seems somewhat mixed up not surprisingly.

[ABCer]

All is in Order.

A Dictator's Prize given by a Dictator's daughter to another Dictator.

The irony is that between them three not even the bitch believes in Comm. ideas.

It would've been best policy not even notice the fact in Media.

[bendejo]

Jeez! Has to be a quid pro quo.

I'm sure the Aussies are just thrilled!

[soalbundy]

Maybe she is thinking of opening a factory there, lots of underpaid peasants there to ensure a good profit

Deluded

I guess putting to death party and family members deserves awards?

Btw, let us know how much NK has given or will give the next time your country loses 75000+ ppl to your next catastrophic disaster?

We'll all be watching the show from our tv/computer.

Friendly Stranger, care to explain?...

I'm a bit slow on an up-take.

[oneday]

Poor deluded sick little girl.

You're not, these were small news stories on the current NK ruler, on him putting to death at least 1 of his cabinet ministers on conspiring to over through him and a family member due to so called pornography charges; she was just a variety show dancer. Sorry, no links.

[lap82]

Looks like she's got her aim of creating some polemics and attract attention to her and her prize.

Everything that involves NK and Kim Jong Un (and it's not hard to get confused which is which) is so controverse.

[gamini]

Her mother was a bar girl, what do you expect? I knew them both, often meeting them at high society functions in Europe where they were "hangers on" . I did not like either of them nor did my friends.

[Srikcir]

Hopefully Kim Jong Un will travel to Indonesia to get his just rewards.

[Jimlove]

What a sickoe she is ... Is Thailand gonna follow up with their own Award to Kim ... ?

[Dap]

The mind boggles!

[Scott]

What will be of great interest, is who will be showing up at at the Award Ceremony when he picks up his prize.

[Briggsy]

The UK gave peerages and official positions to numerous paedophiles.

[NickJ]

Off her meds..........

He only rides in trains so won't be a pick up in person. Maybe Dopey Dennis Rodman can hand it to him in person.

Why wouldnt australia give aid to indonesia because of this?

She represents her govt about as much as you do.

Re. "She sees similarities between the reign of the North Korean supreme leader with that of her father’s reign during Indonesia’s post-independence era."

Indeed there are many similarities. The biggest one being they are/were brutal dictators who've murdered many thousands of people.

The title to this thread made me laugh out loud...then reading the article made me sad...the world is truly fugged-up...and getting worse...

This Indonesian woman is naive and is being used as a propaganda tool by the N. Koreans...

I can see the headlines: DICTATOR KIM JONG UN ACCEPTS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!

[boomerangutang]

Rachmawati Soekarnoputri is a stupid person.

The only thing that should be given to Pudge Boy Kim is a suicide pill and a glass of water.

I can't imagine the mass psychic trauma which will ensue, when N. Koreans finally throw off the yoke of extreme oppression. Millions of people will need psychiatric help - it will be unprecedented. It will make the fall of Soviet Russia and the opening of East Germany look like a leap frog game in comparison. Plus, they'll need sustained welfare from other countries for at least a decade (even more than they're getting now).

They deserve each other,

They deserve each other,

The kids may be quite striking.

The UK gave peerages and official positions to numerous paedophiles.

At the time, the extent of their crimes was not fully known, nor proven.

It was a different era. A woman was still treated as chattel. There wasn't much of a concept then of child protection either. Mentally ill people were chained up in institutions or lobotomized or drugged against their wishes. The mentally infirm were forcefully sterilized. Well into the 1970's women were still treated as sex objects and it was "normal" to discriminate in workplaces. Things changed didn't they? One society has moved forward and responded to wrongs, while another has regressed.

How you can raise allegations of abuse and claim that they are comparable to the horrors of North Korea is beyond comprehension. Nothing has really changed in North Korea has it? The little fat sociopath is still killing and terrorizing, The pedos you refer to are being investigated and where there is a case to be made, charged. It's 2015 and we should be able to learn from past mistakes. The UK has done that. There is no excuse for a woman who profited from the poverty, misery and subjugation of Indonesians to lecture anyone on justice or decency. This woman is an illustration of why radical groups were so popular in SE Asia for decades.

Yes, the people truly love Fat Kim. He is a good man. He feeds all of his people, and shares a lot of his wealth with the common man. He makes sure they all have good health care, and recreation. We love him, not because it is a crime not to love him. We love him because he is such a cute teddy bear type, and he is so kind and compassionate. Yes, he does kill his family sometimes, but only when he has to.

I think Rachmawati is either living on another planet, was hired to do PR for Fat Kim, or is somehow on his payroll. The fact that he is a dictator is a figment of the imagination of the west? Yeah right.

No worries. My original comment was along those lines too, but now re-reading it, I even think it was a little over the top, as the foundation is not the government.
