Yohana Susana Yembise Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Minister
Where there are children and women, there will be violence

Minister for Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Yohana Susana Yembise, 58, cannot afford to take it easy yet, even though Law No. 35/2014 is ready to be enacted. Better known as the Bill on Castration, this piece of legislation will soon be deliberated on at the House of Representatives (DPR).

The bill was drafted by three ministries at the instruction of President Joko Widodo as a response to the emerging cases of sexual abuse. The ministries involved are the ministries coordinating human development and culture, social affairs and women's empowerment and child protection. "The President has instructed the attorney-general and me to monitor the passage of the bill," said Yohana in a recent interview.

Kornelius Kodi Mete, Chief of East Nusa Tenggara Health Department :
We need both skilled manpower and good infrastructure

Kornelius Kodi Mete has only been chief of the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) health department for the last four months, but like his predecessor, he is determined to continue improving the health care system in the province through various programs. He believes that many people in NTT today are more aware of their health, so that it is now up to the government to provide them with the good service they seek.

But improvement in the system needs a great deal of effort, not only from public institutions, but in cooperation with civil society organizations. Thus, Kornelius welcomes the initiatives from the Australia Indonesia Partnership for Health Systems Strengthening (AIPHSS) and the Health Ministry's offer of assistance to local governments. This includes perfecting the referral system, facilitating accreditation for community health centers (Puskesmas) and long distance learning for nurses and midwives.

Musa Widyatmodjo, Designer
Weaves must be part of our lifestyle

One needs never be afraid to create new designs and motifs, exhorted Musa Widjatmodjo, 50, at a workshop held as part of the Flobamora Fashion Festival in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), last December. The event was attended by scores of weavers and designers from all over the NTT province. Many wanted to learn how to turn woven cloth into fashion garments.

Musa, a designer known for his eclectic style, noted that the young local designers appeared reluctant to innovate because traditional woven cloth was looked upon as an ancient heritage not to be tampered with. He decided to encourage the local weaverswho were also designersto try their hand at designing new motifs on woven cloth and cutting them into contemporary apparel as a nod to the age-old traditions.

Best Supporting Actor Tio Pakusadewo
A Cap and a Batak Accent

Replaying a role in a film once performed by another actor is not easy. That is what Tio Pakusadewo, 52, faced when he was offered to redo the role of a migrant Batak in the filmBulan di Atas Kuburan ('Moon over The Graveyard') written by Asrul Sani in 1973. In that year, Aedy Moward performed that role. Aedy's acting was so powerful that he won the 1973 Citra (Indonesia's film festival award) for Best Supporting Actor.

But therein lay the challenge for Tio. "I watched the movie by Asrul Sani, and discussed it with several people involved in that production. Then I tried to find something new and unique," Tio told Tempo.

Nusantara Islam in the Middle of Radicalization

Noor Huda Ismail

The Jokowi administration hopes Nusantara Islam (IN) will be the key to success in the state's de-radicalization efforts, which have often been labelled as a series of failures. De-radicalization efforts thus far have been considered ineffectual for two reasons. First, efforts were unable to eliminate the threat of terrorism since the first Bali bombing in 2002, and second, the program has not prevented hundreds of Indonesians from travelling to Syria and Iraq to fight with IS and An Nusro.

Myra Siddharta
One Thousand Smiles

With an agile mind and a memory sharp as a whistle, psychologist and scholar of Chinese literature and culture, Myra Sidharta had cause to celebrate her 88th birthday early this month. "I seldom observe my birthday. If I had known it could be this merry, I would have given more parties," she said with a twinkle in her eye to the amusement of the more than 200 hundred guests. "This year is special because the age 88, when drawn together, looks like the Chinese letters for double happiness," said art dealer son, Amir. The day also marked the launch of a compilation of Myra's articles and papers from almost four decades, titled One Thousand Smiles and a Single Teardrop.

Andrzej Nusantara Wawrzyniak:
Bung Karno Encouraged Me to Collect Art

Polish diplomat Andrzej Wawrzyniak was seen as a brave man when he chose to stay in touch with Sukarno (affectionately known as Bung Karno) following the mysterious events of September 30, 1965, in which an attempted coup set in motion the events that would remove Indonesia's first president from power. Wawrzyniak was like a member of Bung Karno's family.

His relationship with Bung Karno involved an element of art. After retiring from his diplomatic work, Wawrzyniak started collecting heirlooms from Indonesia and other Asia-Pacific countries. Kris daggers, knives, spears, batik fabrics, paintings, and sculptures from the archipelago that he collected from 1961 to 1971 are today displayed at the Asia and Pacific Museum in Warsaw.

Now in his 80s, he is currently in intensive care in the Polish capital, suffering from diabetes. The doctor has confined him to bed. However, when he heard an Indonesian wanted to visit him and view his museum collection, he insisted that the doctor allow him in. The following is the report by Tempo reporter Elik Susanto, who met Wawrzyniak last July.

The Two Faces of Dipa Nusantara

FOR the past 42 years he has been remembered with feelings of hatred, yet with astonishment. Dipa Nusantara Aidit was only 31 years old when he led the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). He only needed a year or two to make the PKI one of the top four political parties in Indonesia. The PKI claimed 3.5 million supporters at that time, which would have made it the largest communist party in the world after the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China. Aidit dreamed of a revolution, envisioning a classless Indonesian society. However, he was undone by the cataclysmic events of 1965. After that, he became a myth. Just like the events of the September 30 Movement, known in Indonesia as the G30S, the stories about him are filled with myths and tales. Who was the real Aidit?

Between Buru and Nusakambangan

Ismail alias Minak Radin:
Hunger takes over other considerations

IN the past two decades, the name Minak Radi has often come up in police investigations. Minak, 43, is known as a veteran begal or robber, often operating in the big cities. He would not only steal motorcycles, but would also steal from offices. Every time a crime is committed, the police's first suspicion always falls on Ismail alias Minak. "But I've seen the light," Ismail told Tempo at his home in East Lampung, two weeks ago.

Ismail is now preoccupied with his sand quarry, which stretches over 100 hectares. But the police still suspect him whenever a crime occurs. Ismail, who has been in and out jail, is feared by the younger thugs.

Ismail Hasan Metareum: "The religious approach is right for the Acehnese"

ISMAIL Hasan Metareum sat on a wheelchair. Pale and weak, the thin-faced and bespectacled man was nursing a broken leg, the result of a fall at the mosque. But that did not affect the spirit and attention of this 74-year-old born in Pidie, Aceh when discussing the never-ending problem of his birthplace. Moreover, since the idea of a Bureau (desk) on Aceh was discussed by Vice President Hamzah Haz mid-January, Metareum seems unconcerned about his leg's condition. His wheelchair notwithstanding, he still travels around, lobbying to finalize the idea of an Aceh Bureau.
