Pernyataan bahwa rumah dinas itu sudah diajukan anggarannya jauh sebelum tsunami adalah khas pernyataan seorang pejabat Indonesia (termasuk ogut, hehe). Mbok yao pejabat itu, dalam soal tahu malu, ada yang semacam Dubes David Napitupulu (sudah almarhum) yang milih mobil dinasnya Chrysler New Yorker karena Dubes Jepang di Mexico City mobil dinasnya hanya Toyota Crown. Atau Konjen RI di Mumbai (sekarang pensiunan) yang konsekwen dengan pendiriannya bahwa selama masa tugasnya konsulat tidak mengganti mobil dinas Mercedes 1996 yang adalah mobil bekas peninggalan Athan RI di New Delhi. Sang Konjen juga selalu tidak menggunakan "hak"-nya untuk duduk dikursi bisnis dan cukup bangga duduk dikelas ekonomi dalam perjalanan dinasnya.
Memang taraf kita mengenai ukuran benar-salah masih seperti itu, benar kalau sudah sesuai dengan prosedur dan sudah dianggarkan. Kita belum sampai pada ukuran kepantasan: pantaskah kita hidup "sesuai dengan standard diplomat" atas biaya negara sementara negara kita masih tretekan cari utangan sana sini ?
