Gunarti, Activist for Kendeng Mountains Community Network: We are colonised by our own kind

Gunarti, a farmer and activist in the Kendeng Mountains Community Network, seems hesitant to be compared with Kartini, even though she shares the same birthday on April 21, as the inspiring national hero. She is now well-known for her leadership in the green movement to oppose the proposed construction of Semen Indonesia's cement plant in Rembang, Central Java. She believes the plant will endanger existing ground water springs and impact the larger issue of food security there. "It's better to have a cement shortage rather than a shortage of food," Gunarti, 43, says adamantly.

A Big No to Political Parties Owning Frequencies

The plan by the House of Representatives (DPR) to revise the Broadcasting Law by slipping in a provision on special broadcasting bodies that could be owned by political parties must be opposed by all. Besides contradicting the fundamental principal that frequency bands be managed for public benefit, this proposal would only make matters worse in the already chaotic world of broadcasting.

Kartika Jahja
Music is Her Message

When she was interviewed two weeks ago, Kartika Jahja, 35, could not conceal her dejection. Wearing a leather jacket and a bright red skirt, this singer tried to understand her recent catastrophe in Yogyakarta. There, she had failed to carry out her project of staging the 2016 Lady Fast event, after one mass organization had raided it and forced it to close down. "The reason for it was not clear at all," she said.

Lady Fast was initially to present a series of events about women's issues. The agenda included discussions, a workshop, film screening and musical performances. A day into the event, a group from one mass organization, accompanied by the police, came and disbanded the event. After that, Tika and members of the Kolektif Betina (Female Collective) as the organizer of the event, had to deal with the local police.

Kartini's Legacy

Emancipation means being freed from all shackles. Almost a century and a half ago, the struggle of Dewi Sartika and R.A. Kartini was limited to women's right to education. We still feel the fruits of their struggle to this day. Women now have extensive access to education, from elementary school to university.

But, in the words of poet Chairil Anwar, "The work is not yet done, there is nothing yet." According to data released by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), only 10.5 percent of urban women graduated from university in 2015. In the countryside, the figure was even worse: less than 3.3 percent. The figures were about the same for men. This means the road to educational emancipation is still long for both sexes.

Sri Hartini-Director of Faith and Tradition, Ministry of Education and Culture
Maintaining the substance, reducing the superficial

Various traditional and cultural rituals in Indonesia can be quite expensive to carry out. Among the people of Toraja in South Sulawesi, for example, one traditional ceremony can cost billions of rupiah. Getting out of such rituals is not easy, although many communities around the country are determined to let go of certain traditional requirements that can often impoverish them, such as the villagers of Borokanda, at Ende Lio, Flores.

Director of Religion and Traditional Faith at the Education and Culture Minister, Sri Hartini, said that a simplification of rituals can be achieved through deliberations without reducing the substance of tradition. "Only the superficial aspect is simplified," she told Tempo English reporters Isma Savitri and Dahlia Rera in an interview, three weeks ago. Excerpts:

Martin Van Bruinessen:
Nu Can Take Part In Restoring Indonesia's Image

The 33rd Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Convention in Jombang, East Java, in early August will be a nostalgic journey for Martin van Bruinessen, who spent considerable time in Indonesia during the 1980s and 1990s. As a resource person at the pre-convention discussions, Bruinessen, the Dutch professor from Utrecht University, author of a number of books on Islam in Indonesia, was sought after to speak on the future direction of the the NU, currently led by KH Said Aqil Siroj.

In the opinion of Dutch anthropologist Bruinessen, the NU has an important role to play in society. He knows his subject matter well, given his nine years in Indonesia. Although he now resides in the Netherlands, he still devotes much of his time to Islamic literature, in the form of discussions and studies on intellectual development in Indonesia. This has led Bruinessen to deepen his knowledge on Islamic thinking in Indonesia, and that of the NU.

Martiono Hadianto
We Lack The Five MS Of Mining

THE new mining law has left Martiono Hadianto, chairman of the Indonesian Mining Association and CEO of Newmont Nusa Tenggara, wondering. "What is the government's objective?" he asked.

Kartika Djoemadi:
the bullying got me mad

TO Dyah Kartika Rini Djoemadi, coordinator of Jokowi's Advanced Social Media Volunteers (Jasmev), the 2014 presidential election was a chance to prove themselves. Determined to totally focus on the task ahead, Kartika took a three-month leave from Spindoctors Indonesia, the political strategy and public policy consulting firm she founded, to devote all of her time to Jasmev. Not surprisingly, until the actual election day on July 9, DeeDeeas Kartika is better knowncould be found in the Jasmev war room in a building at Gondangdia, Central Jakarta.

There DeeDee, 34, coordinated the activities of 150 volunteers, who worked in three shifts. Each of them employed a laptop in their operations to ensure Joko Widodo was elected president. "I had to monitor the war room every day. Doing it part-time would not have been effective," she told Tempo in Jakarta two weeks ago.

Thwarting Ahok

The plan was hatched in late October at the Great Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party's meeting room at the Jakarta Legislative Council (DPRD). In attendance were representatives from the parties that supported Prabowo Subianto's failed bid for the presidency in July. The agenda: formulating a strategy to frustrate Basuki Tjahaja 'Ahok' Purnama's ascent to the seat left by Joko Widodo when he became president.

Reviving an Ancient Martial Art

THE cool mountain air grew cold with the rain in Salimpek village, Solok regency, West Sumatra. But the weather did not keep residents from congregating around a small plot of land, about the size of a volleyball court, next to wet onion fields in late August. They were too curious to witness something they had never seen: a fight between a local silek master-silek is Minang for silat, which refers to the martial arts indigenous to Indonesia and Malaysia-and a tall, large European man.

Yes, on that day, Sasaran Kincia Tuo, a silat school at 1,455 meters above sea level, was visited by seven European guests who came to test their martial arts skills. In the Minang language, sasaran means 'a place for martial arts training', and kincia tuo 'old mill'. The foreigners were participants in the 2014 Minangkabau Silek Camp, held from August 20-28. Beginning in Talang Babungo village, some 10 kilometers away from Salimpek, these masters from abroad set about learning some new moves and burnishing their old ones.
