Fish are leaping out of the water haphazardly in multitudes. But they are not dolphins or flying fish. They are just ordinary fish like mackerel or other pelagic fish. The sight of hundreds of these fish jerking and jumping in the water is a sight to behold. But does it also forebode something more ominous? Why are the fish jumping around madly?
Research carried out by marine biologists shows that there are no large predators in these waters to agitate the fish. There are also no changes in chemical content to stimulate a change of behaviour in these fish. But it is theorised that global warming has led marine parasites such as crustaceae, flatworms, protozoa and bacteria to multiply faster than normal and attack the fish. The fish thus jump about in discomfort and pain, much as a person bitten by wasps would jump about and howl.

One can sit quietly on a mound and let it grow into a mountain. President Suharto, 86, who ruled Indonesia iron-fisted for 32 years, is facing a civil suit for misappropriation of public funds and the prosecutors are seeking damages totalling more than 1.5 billion. But it is a case of blindness, deafness, and muteness that have descended on the Indonesian people and government for too long. Suharto was forced to step down in 1998 after growing unrest in Indonesian society and has since then lived in luxury in the upscale residence in the suburbs of Menteng, Indonesia. He has been left to enjoy the fruits of his crime until a ripe old age. Meanwhile, millions of Indonesians live in poverty, squalor, illiteracy, and continuous humiliation.
