Kiagus Ahmad Badaruddin, PPATK Chairman: I Can Take Chaos If It Brings Positive Results

When he was still the inspector-general at the Ministry of Finance three months ago, Kiagus Ahmad Badaruddin, 59, was angered by a report on a sum of Rp3 billion that had been deposited into his wife's account. It shook him, particularly since he was being considered for the position of chairman of the Center for Financial Transactions Reporting and Analysis (PPATK).

That report spread to the Presidential Palace and to the finance ministry. Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, who recommended Badaruddin to be PPATK chief, took a deeper look at the report. "She asked me what the money was all about," recounted Badaraddin, or Badar as he is familiarly known.

Muliaman Hadad, Chairman Financial Services Authority
Indonesia's economic growth can exceed target

The chairman of the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Muliaman Hadad, 56, is optimistic about the coming year. He believes Indonesia will greet the coming year with growth exceeding the 5.2 percent target set by the government. "We can do it if we harness domestic potential optimally and continue with our reforms and transformation programs to enable investment," said Muliaman.

His views do not reflect those of global economic leaders who met at the annual conference of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington, DC recently, at which Muliaman himself attended. Participants at the meeting proclaimed that the world economy was growing exceedingly slow, taking far too long to recover and benefitted only a handful of people. They concluded that the weakening of the global economy which began in 2014, had yet to recover in the coming year.

Aidul Fitriciada Azhari Judicial Commission Chairman
We are there but not there

AIDUL Fitriciada Azhari, 48, turned out to be the dark horse in the search for a chairman of the Judicial Commission. He was a last-minute entry after the House of Representatives' (DPR) law commission rejected two of the candidates, and he got the job. "I wasn't even under consideration so it was just pure chance," said Aidul at his Jakarta office last week.

He is now responsible for completing the work to be done by the commission, from reinforcing its legitimacy to ironing out relations with the Supreme Court and addressing the problem of judges' safety. "All this is to protect the integrity of the judiciary," he told Tempo reporters Tulus Wijanarko, Fransisco Rosarians and Raymundus Rikang.

Irzal Rakhmadani
A Doctor Working through the Smoke

After the noon prayers, Irzal Rakhmadani, 24, packed his things in a rucksack and went out. Two items he never goes without are his stethoscope and sphygmometer. He would ride on his motorbike to the office of the World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan, three kilometers away. There, he would treat people suffering from the effects of forest fire smoke around Palangkaraya. In 2015, he treated some 1,000 patients.

In mid-September, Irzal and his colleagues visited a camp for workers who had been laid off by an oil palm company. Fifteen volunteers of Earth Hour Palangkaraya had gathered to help the smoke victims there. Irzal saw something that distressed him. About 300 people were crammed into a 5x15 meter barrack. Because there was not enough room, tarpaulin tents had been set up outside the barracks. People lived alongside chicken and their pet dogs.

For Ekbom, running an e-commerce company is like running in a marathon. "And we're only in the first couple of kilometers down the line," he said.

Prasada Rao UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Asia Pacific
Stop closing down brothels

According to Prasada Rao, ignorance has been the biggest barrier in dealing with the decades-old HIV/AIDS epidemic. This is why he speaks openly about the disease, freely discussing such topics as sex and sex education, which most Asians see as taboo, so that the social stigma attached to its victims can be erased, a first step in the prevention and treatment of the disease.

Rao truly believes that an open discussion of the subject would be the best protection against the disease, yet the biggest challenge in addressing this global epidemic. "For Asians, sex is taboo. It's in your bedroom, not on the road. So there's always that challenge," he told Tempo.

Biak Papua
The Last Painting in Padaido

TWO hours into a pleasant voyage on the waters of the Padaido group of islands to the south of Biak in Papua, the situation became tense. That Saturday morning two weeks ago, photographer Tony Hartawan and I had just passed Pakreki island. The waters around this large unoccupied, rocky island covered in lush tropical forest, seemed to be a final test for us before arriving at our destination: Meosmangguandi island.

The sea, which had earlier been quite calm, suddenly became very rough. Suddenly, our boat, a 'johnson' perahu, as local fishermen call their traditional boats with attached engines, was hit by waves coming from all directions. Tony, who was sitting in the stern, several times glanced to the rear, a fixed smile on his face. I responded with no less a worried expression. "Meosmangguandi!" The shout from Melkias Rumkorem, a traditional Meosmangguandi elder, brought with it a new sense of calm. He pointed towards where the boat was heading, all while it was rising, falling and rolling from side to side over the waves.

Rumah Gadang: A Woman's Domain

Rice, rendang beef stew, jackfruit curry and many kinds of sambal (chili paste) sit in the front lanjar (guestroom) of Etek Nuraini's traditional rumah gadang house in Nagari Sumpur, in the Tanah Datar regency of West Sumatra. It is early in the month of February. Some 40 guests have gathered, including village elders and West Sumatra Governor Irwan Prayitno. Guests sit on the floor, eating side-by-side. Prayers are recited for the safety and wellbeing of those who will inhabit the house. Family photos hang on the wall. Windows are left open to let sunlight in.

From the vantage of the dining area, the house's spacious interior is in clear view. Six jua (Cassia siamea) pillars grace the building's 17-meter-long sides. Jua, a type of ulin ironwood, is extremely durable: once dry, its impossible to cut it down to size. The walls, meanwhile, are made of surian (Toona ciliata), and floors from bayur (pterospermum javanicum) tree trunks.

Rumah Gadang Reborn

Forty young men strain and groan, taut muscles shining with sweat as they haul a jua tree (Cassia siamea) out from a ravine near Singkarak Lake, West Sumatra. The trunk is 11 meters long and will be used as the main pillar in a rumah gadang (traditional Minangkabau house). The house is being built for the heirs of Etek Siti Fatimah in the hamlet of Nagari, Sumpur village, Tanah Datar regency. Etek is what locals call an aunt, or a respected female figure.

The men take turns pulling the tree up and out of the gully. Shortly after noon, they reach the top. After clearing another small rise they toss the trunk down the other side, watching it tumble downhill.

Zainal Arifin Mochtar Director, Anti-Corruption Studies Center, Gadjah Mada University
We need solidarity-makers to fight corruption

Fighting corruption is nothing new in Indonesia. But the battle fought by people in rural areas may be something that is little known by the general public. According to Zainal Arifin Mochtar, Director of the Center for Anti-Corruption Studies at Gadjah Mada University, efforts by villagers to fight corruption have to be considered significant, because so far, awareness about fighting it is mostly present amongst the middle classes in urban centers.

Urban communities are generally better informed and they are abetted by the many anti-corruption activists in towns. But when anti-corruption figures in the country's remote areas begin to emerge, it is a most important development.

Ancient Metal Artifacts Found on Mount Padang

A national research team has discovered ancient buildings and artifacts at the Mount Padang archaeological site in, Cianjur regency, West Java. The team's deputy chairman for geology, Danny Hilman Natawidjadja, said they had found a 22-centimeter-long stone rod on the mountain's southern slope, about two or three meters below the surface. The rod has pores and magnetic characteristics that attract it to metal. "It resembles Harry Potter's magic wand, which is fit for gripping," Danny said last week.

Other finds included knife-shaped metals, metal waste and burned soil with stacks of stones beneath. Based on laboratory tests, the burned residual materials have been in the location since 5,200 BC.

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.
