Aiko Kurasawa:
I'm The Target Of Japanese Rightwingers' Threats

To some conservative Japanese reactionaries, writer Aiko Kurasawa is unpatriotic because she wrote a book on the cruelty of the Japanese military in Javanese villages. She has been branded by some as a communist. Kurasawa's interest in Indonesia began a long time ago, when she first read about Sukarno, whom she regards as a hero of the Asia-African movement. Not surprisingly, when the 1965 events exploded, she was devastated upon reading about the resulting fall of Sukarno. "I was shocked," said Kurasawa, who was recently interviewed at her home in south Jakarta.

Mighty Majapahit

Regarded as the Golden Age of Indonesian history, the vast maritime empire of Majapahit reached its apogee in the 14th century. Though it thrived for only 300 years (late 13th century to early 16th century), Majapahit was Indonesia's greatest state, the last in a long line of Buddhist and Hindu Javanese kingdoms. Islam had ostensibly erased Indian cultural traditions by the 16th century, yet Buddhist-Hindu traces can still be seen in the rituals and architecture of the kraton courts of Bali and central Java, and innumerable motifs and styles of the earlier cultures are found everywhere in Indonesian art.

Gustav F. Papanek, Economist:
"The only way to help the poor is to provide jobs"

For the second time this year, and against his doctor's advice, senior economist Gustav F. Papanek from Boston University returned to Indonesia. With a new government in place, this 87-year-old former advisor to the 'Berkeley Mafia'influential economists of the New Order erafelt the need to address a very urgent problem: The declining income of the poor, which as he noted "is immoral and also politically undesirable; therefore, it is important to take substantial steps to increase their income. The only way you can do that is by providing industrial jobs."

Although he was unable to meet President Joko Widodo, he managed to meet Sofyan Djalil, Economic Coordinating Minister; General Moeldoko, Armed Forces Chief; and ChatibBasri, former Finance Minister, and gave talks in three universities and Bank Mandiri as well as numerous interviews with the media. In a packed schedule, averaging two presentations a day, he found ways to push his ideas.

Dato Sri Tahir, Chief Commissioner of Mayapada Group:
The best opportunities are still in Indonesia

The banking business is in a flux as a result of the war of interest rates among banks. But the owner of the Mayapada Group, Dato Sri Tahir, is optimistic that the banking sector in Indonesia will continue to grow. "Growth depends on situations and conditions," Tahir told Tempo, two weeks ago. Having travelled all over the world, Tahir concluded that the best investment opportunities are still found in Indonesia.

He believes that investment opportunities in Indonesia are still better and that includes the business prospects of his Mayapada Group. He told Tempo reporter Christine Munthe in an interview that he would never sell Mayapada for whatever price. Excerpts:

False Hopes from Harapan Baru

Lured by bombastic ads on local and national television, thousands of cancer patients have become victims of the Harapan Baru traditional Chinese clinics, particularly its branch in Medan, North Sumatra. Harapan Baru guarantees cures with its herbal treatment while infusing patients intravenously with chemotherapy, an illegal procedure given that the traditional healers are not licensed to practice modern medicine. Steroids about 200 times the strength of morphine are another 'magical' cure. This medical and ethical violation has been going on for years, yet the regulatory seem to turn a blind eye.

The TNI’s competence is not in doing business

There have been increasing demands to implement one of the key elements of the 1998 Reforms. Indeed, a number of things have been achieved, like cutting down the military’s political rights in parliament during the 2004 General Elections. Law No. 34/2004 on the TNI says the TNI businesses must be cleaned up. After the data collection team—implemented by Secretary of State-Owned Enterprises, Said Didu—verification will be carried out by the National Team on TNI Assets Takeover, led by Erry Riyana Harjapamekas.

The Plunder of Ketapang

For years, a timber mafia worked in unison to plunder the forests of Ketapang, West Kalimantan. They consist of dealers, loggers, members of the Forestry Office, police officers, officials of the Forestry Department and authorities from the local regency government. The Joint Team of National Police Headquarters and the Forestry Department estimates that state losses amount to Rp32.4 trillion annually. This is equivalent to 26 times the 2008 regional budget for West Kalimantan province.

Three weeks ago, the Joint Team was able to dismantle the mafia’s timber network in Ketapang. Among those arrested were the head of the Ketapang Office of Forestry, the Chief of the Ketapang District Police, and a candidate for the office of regent. Tempo reports from Ketapang.

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama: I Was Treated Like A Political Prisoner

CONVICTED of religious blasphemy, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, former Jakarta governor, spent 625 days in the Mobile Brigade (Brimob) detention center. On May 9, 2017, after the North Jakarta district court sentenced him to two years in prison, Ahok—as Basuki is familiarly called—was immediately taken to the Cipinang Prison in East Jakarta. The following day, for security reasons, he was moved to the Brimob headquarters in Kelapa Dua, Depok, West Java.

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama-Djarot Saiful Hidayat: Battling for a Basuki Win

During the Gue 2 Concert held in Senayan, Central Jakarta, two weeks ago, many people dressed in black formed a line to welcome Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) and Djarot Saiful Hidayat to the stage. That day, the campaign was livened by many celebrities hailing from the Indonesian capital.

This group in black was the Brigade Beringin, which was formed by the Jakarta branch of the Golkar Party. Together with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), the Hanura Party, and the National Democrat (NasDem) Party, Golkar is supporting the candidacy of Ahok and Djarot. "Their presence in Senayan was to test out security," said Yorrys Raweyai, Coordinating Chairman for Political, Legal and Security Affairs for Golkar, last week.

Lake Buyan: Three on the Kaja Border

Kaja in Bali is a sacred direction or orientation. On the kaja border that divides Bali into the south and the north, there are three lakes almost parallel to each other and considered sacred. The three have different stories. Lake Buyan is steeped in the tale of Buleleng's nobility and a hoard of treasure in it. Lake Tamblingan is connected with the forest shielding it. Lake Bratan has the legend of the Ulun Danu Temple fame. All the stories boil down to one thing: that the sacredness of lakes in Bali should always be preserved.

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama :
I am Mega's man

In the past two weeks, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama twice visited the home of Megawati Soekarnoputri, chairperson of Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), to discuss his plan to run in the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election. Basuki-popularly known as Ahok-said Megawati had bluntly asked him again to pick Djarot Saiful Hidayat, a PDI-P politician who is also the incumbent deputy governor of Jakarta, as his running mate. "Bu Mega said, 'You two do well together'," he recounted.

His meetings with Megawati gave strong indications that Ahok is still open to the option of running as a PDI-P nominee. In other words, if he chooses this option, Ahok will have to abandon Teman Ahok (Friends of Ahok)-a network of volunteers pushing for his nomination as an independent candidate. On two occasions, last Tuesday and last Thursday, Ahok spoke to Tempo about the political steps he will take.

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, Jakarta Governor
Would I be so stupid as to be involved in bartering?

BASUKI Tjahaja Purnama has been dragged into a whirlpool of bribery charges by reclamation developers over his decision to impose additional contributions to the local government without any legal basis. The Jakarta governor claims it was his discretion to set the additional contributions necessary for accelerated development.

He said the requirement for the additional contributions as a precondition for issuing the reclamation permits was not bartering. "A barter would be if I benefited from it," he declared. Refusing to be specifically interviewed on this, Basuki was willing only to answer the questions submitted by Tempo reporters Ananda Teresia and Erwan Hermawan at two different opportunities on Wednesday and Thursday last week.

Last week, he was banned from traveling overseas due to his suspected involvement in a bribery case over the reclamation project in North Jakarta. Basuki treated Sunny as an intern, but Sunny claimed to be one of Basuki's staff. Last week, he was interviewed by Tempo.

Jakarta Governor Jakarta Basuki Tjahaja Purnama finally found out why discussions about the contributions to the reclamation project were so tough. It seems some money flowed from the developers to a member of the Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), Mohamad Sanusi. But that's not all. The governor now has a new problem. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) banned his special staffer Sunny Tanwidjaja from travelling overseas, seemingly because Sunny often communicates with people suspected of bribing and those accepting the bribes.

Fajar Sandhika Negara Simanjuntak
All In A Day's Work

Smoke billowed up at the southeast end of the Rawa Kadut reforestation camp at Way Kambas National Park in Lampung, August 9. It was 9am. Fajar Sandhika, reforestation coordinator at the Silvagama Foundation, and his colleague Arum Mutasim moved quickly to check out the source of the blaze. Hopping on a motorbike, they sped down a trail through dense foliage.

At the location, they assessed that the fire was heading west and would probably pass a spot across the Kadut river behind the camp. Since the wind was not blowing hard, they estimated the fire would reach it after 12pm. Fajar and Arum raced back to the camp.

Hence his support of the recently held Jakarta Fashion Week 2016, which he agreed to launch.

ROW in Raja Tempirai

At the Raja Tempirai oil block in the Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir regency of South Sumatra, there is little to suggest anything is amiss. The names of the two block operators, Pertamina Hulu Energi Raja Tempirai (PHE Raja Tempirai) and Golden Spike Energy Indonesia, still hang at the entrance, and 100 or so employees mill about, going about the daily business of running the plant.

The ROW at Raja Block

The cooperation between Pertamina and Golden Spike Indonesia has not worked well. So far, it has only resulted in a few hundred barrels of oil per day, yet the Central Jakarta District court has ordered the state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina to pay Golden Spike trillions of rupiah in damages. So Pertamina's decision to take the case back to court as a cassation is appropriate.

Back on July 6, 1989, the two companies signed a revenue-sharing contract to process the oil at Raja Tempirai block. They immediately formed a joint operating body (JOB). At first, all went smoothly until 2007 when Golden Spike experienced difficulties in repaying its debts around the Raja block.

Crowdfunding is a Solution to Financing

Crowdfundingfinancing a project or a business by raising money from the publicis a relatively new trend in Indonesia. According to Fajar Hutomo, Deputy Director of Access to Finance at the Creative Economy Agency, it has only become popular five years ago. But actually, Indonesia is familiar to koperasi (cooperatives), a collective system of funding. "That's the original Indonesian crowdfunding," said Fajar.

Crowdfunding is a project-based systemnot a long term financing institution. Nevertheless, its effectiveness has been proven through the use of local websites such as kitabisa.com or wujudkan.com, that have successfully financed various charities, startup businesses, as well as social entrepreneurship.

Raja Ampat's Guardians of the Sharks

THE 'guardian' of Jaam Island, part of a conservation zone where shark hunting is banned, lives in South Misool District, Raja Ampat Regency. His name is Andi Dharmawan, but he is better known by his nickname, Cagi, or Oom (uncle) Cagi. His skin is tawny from long hours in the sun, and he speaks with booming erudition.

Forty-one years old, he was born in Bone, South Sulawesi, but has been in West Papua since childhood. Jaam Island is in the Regional Waters Conservation Area (KKPD) of Southeast Misool, the largest conservation zone in Raja Ampat. The area covers 366,000 hectares, and includes a chain of ancient limestone islands and a well-preserved saltwater lake. A 10-kilometer radius from Jaam Island have been declared off-limits to fishing. It is known as a breeding ground for a variety of fish species.

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama:

JAKARTA Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, better known as Ahok, does not know the meaning of surrender. He stressed he will defend the 2015 Jakarta Budget, even though he faces great opposition from the Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), also known as the City Council.

Ahok claims the description of 'phantom' funds did not originate from him but from the former chief of the Office of the Finance Development Controller (BPKP), Mardiasmo, who is now the deputy finance minister. It was the BPKP's audit that discovered the practice of 'smuggling' budget allocations. "Then they mysteriously went in," he said, "like a phantom."

JOURNALISTS covering Jakarta Deputy Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, better known as Ahok, are aware that whatever he says can become headlines. No other public official has a way of saying things that make it eminently quotable.

But Ahok's direct and open way of talking is not to everyone's liking. He has made enemies, and he is bound to make many more following the Constitutional Court's verdict that rejected the appeal last week by also-rans Prabowo Subianto and Hatta Rajasa and reconfirmed the election of Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo as president and his running mate Jusuf Kalla as vice president. Automatically, this paves the way for Ahok to ascend to the capital city's top executive job.

The Face of Gajah Mada

The face on one of the terracotta piggybanks at the Majapahit Museum in Trowulan, East Java, has chubby cheeks and slanted eyes. The right and left eyebrows are connected, curving dramatically like a wave. The lips seem to smile faintly, expanding the already thick chin.

This is the piggybank Muhammad Yamin saw decades ago and declared the face of Gajah Mada. In reality, poet Sapardi Djoko Damono contends, that face bears more resemblance to Yamin himself. Sapardi thinks the real face of Gajah Mada was not as chubby as the terracotta figure's. Agus Aris Munandar, a University of Indonesia archeologist who has studied Gajah Mada, also differs from Yamin in his interpretation of the face of the man who uttered the legendary Sumpah Palapa (Palapa Pledge), in which Gajah Mada vowed not to eat any spices until he had conquered the whole of the Nusantara archipelago for the Majapahit empire.

There were no less than 28 lies or rumors systematically disseminated to bring down Jokowi, and which we had to manage, one by one. That took a lot of our time. And we lost a lot of voters, particularly among the undecided.
