Hullabaloo Over Electricity Tariff

It is regrettable that the news of the increased electricity tariff last week became the fodder for hoax news websites. The rapid spread of the half-baked news had sent PLN (the state electricity company) and the Palace scrambling to deny it. The moral of the story is that the government had done a bad job disseminating an important policy that would affect many people.

Solar-Powered Electricity for Remote Areas

Fighting Against Darkness
A group of women in East Nusa Tenggara distribute solar lamps to remote villages. These environmentally friendly lamps have also become ubiquitous in urban areas.

Dozens of dogs howled time and again, as if welcoming the night that fell on Nubahaeraka Village, Lembata Regency on a Sunday in August. Darkness then enveloped the whole island that is famous worldwide because of the whale hunts that take place here each year. Lembata is one of the islands that comprise East Nusa Tenggara.

Lighting is something rare at Nubahaeraka. Lamps were only spotted at some corners of the village with a population of 288 people. For example, the house of the former village headmanwho held the post for 18 yearswas brightly lit thanks to a diesel generator. A diesel oil-powered generator roared at the house of another villager who distributed the power to 20 other houses in the neighborhood. Of course, it was not free. The rest of the village remained dark.

Wide use of electricity seems nowhere near the village located around 1,000 meters above sea level. In the 1960s, when their brothers and sisters in Java were using electric irons, residents of this village had just switched from torches to oil lamps. The antiquated illuminator has prevailed since then.

"We can't grant the pretrial hearing," said Udjiati, who issued her verdict last Tuesday.

Udjiati said the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) had followed the law in naming Lino a suspect in the case. The KPK began investigating Lino on March 5, 2014, and named him a corruption suspect on December 15, 2015. "As such, he was named a suspect during the investigation," she said. Judge Udjiati added Lino's arguments had delved too much into the primary case over which the pretrial court has no jurisdiction.

During a meeting to discuss an electricity project held at the vice presidential palace on the south side of Merdeka Square, Central Jakarta, last Thursday, the Vice President began his joke by saying an official arrived late because of a stomach ache. Two things could cause this: an ache at the bottom of the stomach is from eating the wrong food; an ache at the top caused by stress.

Kalla then asked Sofyan which stomach ache had caused him to be late to the meeting. "Pak Sofyan, is your stomach ache up or down?" Kalla said, as quoted by a participant in the meeting. "Both," Sofyan responded calmly. Everyone broke into laughter.

Smoking should not be seen as normal

THE House of Representatives (DPR) has helped ease the way for the Tobacco Bill to be included in the list of legislations to be enacted this year. The National Tobacco Control Commission quickly responded with a public service ad which essentially rejected the bill.

The commission sees the draft tobacco law as counterproductive to controlling the high prevalence of smoking in Indonesia.

The initiative of the sports and youth ministry to raise funds for Rio Haryanto to race in Formula 1 is much warranted. Rio's participation in F1 is a big thing for Indonesia, but the state budget should not be burdened for the purpose. After all, autoracing is not a public sport here.

But the ministry will overstretch its budget if it contributes the hoped-for Rp100billion funding to Rio. Besides, it is inappropriate to dig deep into the state coffers to bankroll a race-car athlete when the country is still facing economic uncertainties. Instead, the government must come up with creative ways to lobby business tycoons.

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.
