Triyanto Triwikromo
Reliving an Enigmatic Leader

CHOOSING poetryinstead of a novel, let alone a biographyto write about a historical figure, Triyanto Triwikromo has taken the less easy path. In modern Indonesian literature, narrative poetry is a literary form very rarely used to describe a political figure well-known to many people. However, in his anthology, Kematian Kecil Kartosoewirjo ('Kartosoewirjo's Little Death', Gramedia Pustaka Utama, January 2015), Triyanto succeeds in reconstructing the figure of Sekarmadji Maridjan Kartosoewirjo, the leader of the Darul Islam ('House of Islam') rebellion.

Readers, those wishing to find the complete historical figure of Kartosoewirjo, will be disappointed. Fifty-two narrative poems in the anthology has made the figure of Kartosoewirjo emerge as if splintered in numerous fragments, and even this is devoted to only the last moments of his life before the firing squad. But, herein lies the poet's skill in maximizing the monologue form. In his first-person description, the portrayal of Kartosoewirjo's becomes very personal and maintains certain integrity, one left free from the narrator's interference. When Triyanto bows down to the readers' demand, it is only when he flashbacks to Kartosoewirjo's childhood, and when he befriended and at the same time, opposes Sukarno, while studying under national hero H.O.S. Tjokroaminoto.

After Iwik's Acquittal

Weak Evidence, Weak Testimony
Iwik retracted his confession. Not a single shred of the prosecutor's evidence was backed up by witnesses.

THE verdict against Dwi Sumaji alias Iwik, accused of murdering daily newspaper Bernas reporter Fuad M. Syafruddin, was scheduled to be announced on November 27 1997, 113 days after the court commenced hearing the case. Unexpectedly, the state prosecutor, who had initially indicted him on charges under four inter-related Criminal Code articles, instead submitted a request that Iwik be acquitted and released of all charges.

Iwik's fate then lay completely in the hands of the panel of judges, led by Endang Sri Murwati, who was also the chief justice of the Bantul State Court.

The phrase "the desert of the real" conveys that ‘the real’ is the destroyed world, gloomy, fantastical, inexplicable through language, especially when viewed from the ordered world. In Indonesia, we are actually in that ‘desert’: with incessant floods, landslides and earthquakes.

Richard Joost Lino-CEO, Pelindo II:
I don't know what fear is

Richard Joost Lino, the current CEO of state-owned Pelindo II, is known for his straight talk and penchant for betting. This is evident in how he faces challenges and opposition, whether from his own employees, his colleagues or even government ministers. Recently, Lino was reported to the police by Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) politician, Masinton Pasaribu, who is also a former Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) official, for allegedly giving a gratuity to State-Owned Enterprises Minister Rini Soemarno.

The public is unlikely to forget how Lino stood up against Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Natural Resources Rizal Ramli, also known for his sometimes injudicious language, over the damage at the port area caused by a project overseas by Rizal, as well as charges that Lino used State funds to place ads in a number of major media organizations.

The Last Bastion of the Lapindo Mudflow

On Friday two weeks ago, the gush of underground mud in Porong, Sidoarjo, some 200 meters from the Banjar Panji I gas exploration well owned by PT Lapindo Brantas, was exactly three years old. Fifty thousand people in 12 villages were rendered homeless by the disaster. This could be only the beginning of the tragedy. In March, a ring dam surrounding the source of mud collapsed as the earth beneath subsided. A daily flow of 100,000 cubic meters of mud is now directly impacting the external dam as the only dividing wall between 64 million cubic meters of mud and settlements. If this 3-meter-wide fortress gives way, a calamity like that in Situ Gintung, Tangerang, may recur.

The Blog: A New Window of Information

EVERY day, 75,000 new web logs or blogs are created in cyberspace. At least 1 million pieces of information emanate from these blogs every day. Of course, not all of them contain important news; there is a virtual flood of trivial tales.

But a new wave is beginning to appear: the bloggers are beginning to write like journalists. They take part in providing the latest information on all sorts of eventsin addition to making special analyses. The tsunami that swept across the south shores of the Island of Java, a month ago, for instance, had filled the blogosphere just a few moments after it happened, and even before television could report on it. Even before this, CNN had no problem quoting a number of postings from Iraqi bloggers when America began its invasion.

Undeniably, the blogs have taken on a new role: opening new windows of information for the citizens of the world.

A Broker Named Irman Gusman

Irman Gusman is now officially a broker. He peddled his influence as a public official in exchange for monetary gain. Irman, who is chairman of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) was caught red-handed taking a Rp100 million bribe from Xaveriandy Sutanto, a sugar baron and the owner of Semesta Berjaya company, along with his wife Memi, at their official residence around midnight last Saturday.

As the DPD leader, Irman has no authority over sugar import matters so it came as a surprise to many that he received a guest who already was in trouble with the law in his private home at such odd hours. Xaveriandy is a defendant in a non-SNI (Indonesian National Standard) sugar import case currently on trial at the Padang District Court in West Sumatra. For sure, there is no connection between Irman and that particular case. The bribe was for something else, possibly to influence State Logistics Agency (Bulog) to grant Semesta Berjaya an additional sugar quota for West Sumatra.

Amzulian Rifai, Chairman, Office of the Ombudsman
Corruption will vanish with good public service delivery

Public service is something new to 52-year-old Amzulian Rifai, the new chairman of the Office of the Ombudsman. After all, he spent the past 25 years in the academic affairs of Sriwijaya University in Palembang, South Sumatra. But he is ready to dedicate himself to a new assignment, which is to be the people's 'ear', to listen to those disappointed by the quality of public services rendered. Amzulian believes the Ombudsman is the right place to dedicate his time and his resources. He decided to apply for the job, and in an open session, was elected chairman for the 2016-2021 period.

Amzulian is aware that leading the Office of the Ombudsman will not be an easy task. Right from the start, he has had to face the snide comments that the Ombudsman is nothing more than a toothless institution with no specific objective in mind. The building alone, he observed when he first went there, looked no better than a warehouse. "It was in really bad condition," he said in an interview last week.

Tun Daim Zainuddin Malaysian Elder Statesman and Patron of the Arts
Political art in Malaysia must be subtle

To many people, retirement means an easy life and relaxation. But to Malaysian elder statesman Tun Daim Zainuddin, freedom from government duties and politics means a chance to indulge in a longtime passionart. Yet, for this former Malaysian finance minister, it is not just about collecting paintings, sculptures and antique potteries. For the Tun (Malaysia's highest honorific bestowed on deserving citizens)as he is referred to by friends and associatesthe pleasure is in being able to share art with everyone. Hence the Ilham Art Gallery, containing exhibits that are open to the public for free, the first in Malaysia and perhaps even in the ASEAN region. It occupies three floors of the brand-new and imposing 60-floor Ilham building, which the Tun happens to own.

The 78-year-old Tun's unassuming and soft-spoken persona belies the power he once held and the influence he still retains. Trained as a lawyer and an urban planner, he rose high in his country's political and corporate world, specifically in property development and banking. He retired from public service in 2001, after having servedon two separate occasionsas Malaysia's finance minister. He was an elected parliamentarian representing Alor Star and was for years the treasurer of UMNO.

The gender approach is important

Until today, it is fair to say that the government has never given any opportunity nor political recognition to fisherwomen. The bill on the protection and empowerment of fishermen, fish farming and salt mining currently drafted by the House of Representatives (DPR) is an opportunity to accomodate such a need. R. Narmoko Prasmadji said he would try to ensure that the bill contain clauses favoring fisherwomen's empowerment. "There should be legal and economic protection for fisherwomen," said Narmoko.

Taken Hostage by the Ombudsman

Danang Girindrawardana should not have hesitated in supporting the majority decision of the Indonesian Ombudsman, the institution he chairs. An investigation by this organization concluded that the police wrongfully managed the case involving Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigator, Novel Baswedan.

Instead of approving, signing and sending the collective decision to the police, Danang did nothing. His reasoning that the Ombudsman should not be influencing a case currently under police investigation makes no sense at all. By not processing such an important evidence, he is undermining the very institution he leads.

Dissenting Ombudsman

Despite two plenary sessions, the Indonesia Ombudsman failed to issue a recommendation concerning Novel Baswedan's complaint. Novel Baswedan, a Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigator, filed a complaint with the Indonesian Ombudsman concerning the alleged administrative violation by police who arrested and detained him.

Budi Santoso, member of the Ombudsman board, said a draft recommendation was ready to be signed by the Ombudsman chairman, Danang Girindrawardana. "But there were dissenting views among the leaders," he said Thursday last week. Budi said the eight-member team had produced a draft recommendation raised in the Ombudsman executive plenary sessions on August 11 and 31, but it was not agreed upon.

Mira Lesmana Filmaker
Through films, we can show the face of Indonesia

Not many filmakers have delved into the lives of Indonesians in remote areas. But seasoned producer Mira Lesmana sees a wealth of interesting stories from the outer islands. One of Mira's films, Atambua 39 Celcius (2012) explores the culture of West Timor in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, not a frequently visited area. The film uses the local Tetun dialect, which is fast disappearing. "I have this wish to preserve something before it changes or disappears," said the founder of Miles Films production company,

NTT is the background of her 2014 film, Pendekar Tongkat Emas (Knight of the Golden Rod), which was produced in Waingapu, Sumba. "I happen to be in love with NTT, a region with a unique character. I have travelled to the islands of Flores, Timor and Sumba, but I have yet to visit the smaller islands, like Sabu and Rote," said 50-year-old Mira.

Managing a City with Heart

Surabaya has become beautiful and tidy. If the city still floods, the water takes only a night to recede. Traffic has improved. New parks and sidewalks have been developed.

For Surabaya Mayor Tri Rismaharini, 53, no matter how well a park is developed, if its footpaths are damaged and traffic congested, it will not be of any use. Therefore, architects like Risma, as she is known, need to think about a city's people, not merely its physical structures. "Surabaya is always in here," Risma said, pointing to her head during an interview last week.

Tri Rismaharini, Mayor of Surabaya:
I'm accountable to God and the people of Surabaya

MAINTAINING that it was a big sacrifice, Mayor of Surabaya Tri Rismaharini finally closed down the legendary red light districts of Gang Dolly (Dolly Lane) and Jarak, located in the city's Putat Jaya district. The closure was executed symbolically, through a declaration signed by hundreds of approving citizens. Those who opposed the closure, took to the streets to protest.

Risma now admits that when she was first pressured into closing Dolly she actually refused. Her reasoning at the time was that the administration lacked the resources to provide the sex workers and their pimps the compensation in exchange for giving up their livelihood. But she agreed that the chain of prostitution in the city must be broken, particularly as it increasingly involved the trafficking of children. Saving the children became her main concern for closing down the area.
