One of them get a standing applause from judge Simon Cowell it's Adam Lambert. Cowell say that Lambert have a beautiful voice and it's sound like GlamGod hehe xD. His earlier successes when Lambert performance at American Idol's and Lambert singing Black or White of Michael Jackson, so that San Diego mayor Jerry Sanders declared May 8, 2009 "Adam Lambert Day". The media centered on Lambert's sexuality: presuming he was gay, he would be the first Gay American Idol.
Lambert's LGBT Advocacy :*)

Lambert, himself openly gay, has contributed to the advancement of social acceptance towards LGBT people. Lambert say to everyone in the world it's Keep Silence for LGBT. Don't ever hurt their feelings because they have a sensitive feeling but actually they are good people. Although they deviate personalities, they have a high social life.
Previously Lambert have a friend, and now it's the bassist Tommy Joe Ratliff. He joined The Organization of NOH8 Campaign and he is bisexual. He's also often called "Pretty Kitty" or "Devil Child".
Similar to that done by The Organization of NOH8 Campaign, which means Keep Silence for LGBTNOH8 Campaign task is to gather people who swerve to the united so as to create togetherness, friendship, mutual help, compassion, and family. Lambert hope it's all being developed in other countries also can't be insult to LGBT people. Although they're LGBT they're still human, thought Lambert.

BBM naik Rakyat menolak..!!

Liputan6.com, Sumbawa: Ratusan pengunjuk rasa yang berkumpul di Simpang Empat Talabiu, Bima, Nusa Tenggara, Kamis (22/3), bentrok dengan aparat kepolisian. Bentrokan terjadi setelah aparat memaksa massa membubarkan diri. Aksi ini juga diwarnai perusakan mobil pemerintah sebagai protes terhadap rencana pemerintah menaikan harga bahan bakar (BBM) minyak bersubsidi.

Aksi penolakan serupa juga terjadi di Malang, Jawa Timur. Ratusan mahasiswa dan aparat saling dorong di depan pintu masuk Gedung DPRD Kota Malang. Pendemo menuntut pembatalan kenaikan harga BBM. Dalam aksi ini, mahasiswa juga membawa peralatan dapur sebagai protes terhadap kebijakan pemerintah.

Sementara di Jakarta, ratusan orang yang tergabung dalam Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) berunjuk rasa di depan Bundaran Hotel Indonesia.

Menanggapi maraknya unjuk rasa memprotes rencana kenaikan harga BBM bersubsidi, Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono mengingatkan para pendemo tidak anarkis dalam menyampaikan aspirasi di muka umum.

Presiden SBY mengatakan ,keputusan menaikan harga BBM masih dalam pembahasan antara pemerintah dan DPR. Langkah pemerintah menaikan harga BBM, menurutnya, semata-mata untuk menyelamatkan perekonomian nasional yang kini terancam dengan membengkaknya beban subsidi BBM. Hal ini menyusul melonjaknya harga minyak mentah dunia yang kini bertahan di harga US$ 120 per barel.

Opini saya :

Government Maybe have other reasons why they intend to raise fuel prices, but for me this is increase of fuel charges for the people. Don’t simply to save the national economy, the government raised fuel prices for granted. The people have obviously rejected this fuel will increase, but in reality the government will have more confidence than foreign policy community want’s Indonesia it self. Government should think more in depth again and see the poverty rate in Indonesia is still high. How the fate of the people if only government still chuckle to raise fuel? How the fate of the people, above all the poor to feed their families if the fuel can still up, because when the fuel up the groceries were would come up and it is really charge of their lives. Our country is full ofabundant natural resources, why not in use for its people? And in the reality is overseas is the most at disadvantage. Government should be more sensitive to people.
