We, People of Sleman...

Letter to Dr. H. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
President of the Republic of Indonesia



Bapak Presiden yang terhormat,

Kami tahu Bapak Presiden merasa khawatir atas bencana yang terjadi akhir akhir ini.
Dan itu benar.
Lihatlah Kami.
Keadaan kami di Sleman semakin lama semakin berat.
Kami hampir kehabisan bahan makanan dan air.
Paling lama, kami bisa bertahan hanya 15 hari.


Kami telah mencoba sekeras mungkin untuk mengorganisir sumberdaya yang ada, namun tanpa pertolongan tambahan kami tak akan bisa bertahan.


Bapak, Kami adalah anak-anakmu yang butuh belaian dengan sepuluh jarimu.
Bantulah Kami, jangan biarkan kami sendiri menghadapi penderitaan ini.

Hormat kami,
Anak-anak Bapak, Warga Sleman.

Mister President.


We all know your great concern about the recent disasters that affect our country.
We are from Sleman area, and our situation is becoming increasingly critical.
We're almost out of food or water. At best, we have enough for 15 days.
We try as we can to organized ourselves, but without help, we feel desperate.
We beg you your help, as children ask for their father’s protection.

The help from the administration seems very slow, and we fear for our children.

Please, Mister President, come by yourself, and see our misery, our distress.
We all probably have made mistake with Merapi’s danger, but we do our best, we try.

Please, Mister President, don’t let us alone in this hard time of suffering.

Respectfully.

Your people, from Sleman area.
