So sad!
They have demolished Master Robert's creations.
He said that he will post more details later. and said:
Thanks to all friends for your comment and sympathy. Will come back in full story with authentic papers. Just want to say...WE ARE NOT ILLEGAL !...and the demolition is a cruelty, incapability and ignorance of our "legal" national bonsai organization !

Re: So sad!
Basically Pluit Bonsai Centre (National Bonsai Centre in Indo) has been demolished by the government There is a lot to the story, so you're better off going to Robert Steven's FB page and reading up on it there. I'd go into more detail, but everything is a bit confusing, plus some is lost in translation, so I don't want to get it wrongkcpoole wrote:Can you elaborate?

This happens when stupid people are much worse than the worst tsunami... The consequences of devastation can not be expressed in numbers...

Re: So sad!
And I though bonsai was meant to be a peaceful, non-political pursuit.
Very sad indeed.

Ha, B.S. is it. There are even to many politics involved in Australian Bonsai, Sadly.
All the same, this is just to sad an event to contemplate. I feel so sorry for all those involved in this collection.

Re: So sad!
I was thinking the same Rudy, there seems to be very little greenery in those piles of rubble.
And it appears that many trees may have been removed from the other side that wasn't destroyed; maybe in anticipation?
