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.
Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan has asked that the decision of Richard Joost Lino, CEO of state-owned shipping company Pelindo II, to extend the operations contract with Hutchinson at the Jakarta International Container Terminal, (JICT) be ignored. The criteria for the contract extension, according to the law on shipping, contradicts it. Today, Jonan admits he is in the process of drafting a legal action against Lino's desperate move. "If we find any violation, the amendment to the contract will be cancelled," Jonan told Tempo reporter, Khairul Anam, who met him at his office on July 7.

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 Bakrie Group is willing to pay the long-overdue payment of the outstanding 80 percent compensation for victims of the Lapindo mudflow disaster. However, this does not mean that the compensation issue is settled. Thousands of Sidoarjo residents are still rejecting this payment scheme.

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.

Even if his excuse was to seek information on the process of selling the shares, he should have stuck to parliamentary procedures.
Almost every Indonesian knows the picture of Bung Tomo standing in front of a round microphone under a striped umbrella, his hand pointed at the sky, the sleeve of his uniform rolled to his elbow, eyes ablaze. This picture has been reproduced in numerous history textbooks. And it is easy enough to find the picture online: simply Google Bung Tomo, and hundreds of the same picture will appearwith or without Photoshop touches.
The picture is so iconic that every time the November 10 battle is commemorated, the picture is displayed. The photograph is often associated with the Battle of Surabaya itself, although no one seems to know for sure when and where the picture was taken, or who the photographer was. The only accurate information on the photo is that its negative belonged to the IPPHOS (Indonesia Press and Photo Service). "The IPPHOS photo collections rarely had complete photo credits," said Oscar Motuloh, head of the Antara Journalistic Photo Gallery (GFJA), which now owns most of IPPHOS's photographs.
...and the grave
Proves the child ephemeral...
-W.H. Auden
That photo-that shocking photo, the one we can't bear to look at, the one we worry will make sensitive people the world over have nightmares-has quickly become the symbol of our current anxiety. The body of a small three-year-old boy lying facedown on the shore. His tiny, fragile forehead dipped in the waves that washed his body back up on Turkish soil.
