The Peaceful Path of Old Preachers

EIGHT ulemas from various parts of the archipelago spread Islam to different corners of what is today known as Indonesia. Faced with many challenges, such as stormy seas and isolation in their new homes, they worked to preach the religion, embracing communities that did not share their faith with their knowledge and wisdom. Like the wali (saints) before them, these ulemas promoted a peaceful and compassionate Islam.

Hopeful for Next Year

Last week, after Bank Indonesia (BI) cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.5 percent, the rupiah slightly weakened to Rp 13,359 per US$1, but quickly strengthened and remained stable atthe Rp 13,340 per US$1 level. It turns out that market concerns of a sharp drop in the rupiah's value has not happened. The concern was that a further cut in the rupiah interest rate, at a time when the US Federal Reserve plans to raise US-dollar interest rates, will weaken the rupiah as foreign funds move into US dollar-denominated assets. A decline in rupiah interest rates will no doubt lighten the debt service burden of borrowers. This is critical given that corporate revenues have been soft throughout this year. But the hope that a rate cut will help boost economic growth for the remaining part of the year, will be difficult to realize, considering that the year is nearly over.

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.

The Unfulfilled Promise of Truth

Suciwati's initiative is long overdue. The widow of human rights activist Munir Said Thalib requested the Central Information Commission (KIP) to disclose the fact-finding team's results. Suciwati's quest may finally be the first step to unveiling and punishing those ultimately responsible for the heinous crime against her husband.

Munir died on September 7, 2004, aboard a flight from Jakarta to Amsterdam. The autopsy results confirmed that arsenic poisoning had caused the death. After 12 years, the real masterminds have never been identified and the case is far from full resolution. Several officials of the National Intelligence Agency (BIN) suspected to have been involved in the crime are still on the loose. Only Pollycarpus Budihari Priyanto was sentenced to 20 years in prison, along with Indra Setiawan, former CEO of flag carrier Garuda Indonesia. The latter was found guilty of falsifying Pollycarpus' assignment letter.

Peaceful Pesantren

When the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) declared that at least 19 pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) showed evidence of teaching radical thought, we realized just how critical the situation had become. Those 'radical' schools can be found in Jakarta, Cirebon, Ciamis, Cilacap, Solo, Lamongan, Aceh, Makassar, Poso and North Lombok.

Statistically, the figure is almost meaningless, given that some 28,000 pesantren can be found throughout the nation's 33 provinces, attended by about four million Islamic students. However, radicalism-particularly of the kind that has hardened and manifested itself in terrorism-is not just a matter of statistics. Its scope is difficult to grasp, particularly when it is most likely infused with flammable factors such as social injustice.

Peaceful Verses

Gazing at the dozens of students gathered, Gus Reza told the story of a blind Jewish woman who reviled the Prophet Muhammad on a daily basis. Gus Reza, whose full name is Kiai Haji Reza Ahmad Zahid, was sitting cross-legged on the mosque's porch area at the Al-Mahrusiyah Islamic boarding school in Kediri, East Java, on the second day of the Ramadan fasting month. Whenever someone approached, said Reza continuing the story, the blind beggar woman who lived in a corner of the market in Medina spread hatred so that people would not believe in Muhammad's message. "Muhammad is a liar, a magician," said the woman, as told by Reza.

The Prophet was aware of all this. Yet, every morning he brought the elderly Jewish woman food and fed her by hand. He did not say a word when he did this. One day, Muhammad went away and the elderly woman felt the loss of the person who had always given her food. It was only after missing him for several days that the woman found out from Abu Bakar Ash-Shiddiq, a friend of the Prophet, that the despised Muhammad had been the one feeding her all along. "This teaches us that Muhammad respected his haters, as well as people of different faiths," said Reza.

Royalties vs Refunds

When the deputy chairman of the House of Representatives' (DPR) budget council, Said Abdullah struck the gavel at a meeting inside the legislature building last week, a compromise appeared within reach. Said and other members of the budget council agreed that the target of non-tax receipts (PNBP) from the oil and gas and coal sectors needed to be reduced. "What more can be done? It cannot be improved on any further," said Said after the decision was made.

It was decided at the meeting that the amount of non-tax state receipts for mining in the amended draft national budget (RAPBN-P) should be lowered to Rp30.1 trillion-down from the initial target set at the start of the year, which was Rp40.8 trillion. In the financial note to the 2016 draft state budget, the executive branch had set a non-tax receipts target from general mining at just Rp16.54 trillion. This is much less than the figure agreed on by the budget council. The reason cited was that business in this sector was sluggish. "Prices are down and demand is also down," said Minerals and Coal Director-General Bambang Gatot Ariyono.

Befuddled

We have so many wonderful be-ed words in English and this song features three of them. 'Beguiled' is an old English word formed from adding be- and -ed to the French word guile (deceit), to mean 'lured', 'charmed'. 'Bewitched' adds be- and -ed to the word 'witch', to mean 'put under a spell'. The creation of this wonderful word is often attributed to Shakespeare, although he may have merely popularized it. (Shakespeare did coin at least two other be-ed words, though; 'besmirched' from 'smirch' meaning 'stain', and 'bedazzled'.) 'Bewildered' is made from the word 'wilder', an old verb meaning 'to lose your way', and with which we are familiar from the word 'wilderness'. 'Bewildered' is to be overcome by losing your way, and thus, hopelessly confused.

Indonesian can do a similar thing by putting ke- and -an around words. First, though, before these exciting twists and turns, the basics. The most standard use of ke- and -an is to turn a word into an abstract noun, words that in English often end in -dom, -hood, -ship or -ness. So raja is 'king', and kerajaan is 'kingdom'; merdeka is 'free' or 'independent', and kemerdekaan is 'freedom' or 'independence'; baik is 'good', and kebaikan is 'goodness'; anggota is 'member' and keanggotaan is 'membership'; sulit is 'difficult', and kesulitan is 'difficulty' and so forth. But beware: It is not all smooth sailing. There is the well-known trap for new language learners. While malu means 'ashamed' or 'embarrassed', kemaluan does not mean 'shame', as one would expect, but rather, 'genitals'. I was once told the story of an Australian diplomat's wife in Jakarta, who in her halting Indonesian was telling an Indonesian woman friend that her husband had made some social gaffe, and how embarrassed he was-but she said his kemaluan was great (besar). Without missing a beat, the Indonesian woman friend congratulated her on her choice of husband.

Shameful Transactional Politics

Once again, members of the House of Representatives (DPR) have shown their cunning in the way they work. They have been successful, but not in their work to enact laws. Instead, they have managed to secure funding to construct new buildings for themselves. The state budget, which it was feared might go beyond its deadline, was suddenly passed into law. One day before the recess, the DPR approved the budget. For this 'smart' move, the DPR awarded itself a funding of Rp564 billion.

There are signs that the budget for the construction of DPR buildings was the result of a bargain with the executive branch. Initially, the DPR proposed Rp740 billion. No one knew which building was to be completed first. Shockingly, the DPR dreamed of carrying out seven construction projects with a total value of Rp2.7 trillion. But subsequently this was toned down to three projects at a cost of Rp2.08 trillion. These were to be paid for out of the state budget in phases within three years: fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018. President Joko Widodo was inclined to reject this. He even refused to sign the comemorative plaque for the megaproject when he visited the DPR on August 16.

On successive evenings at the Indonesian LAB Festival, 'Cry Jailolo', created by Eko Supriyanto, drew thundering ovations at the Mousonturm Frankfurt playhouse. Eko's piece was simple, minimalist and muscular, representing a return to the purity of highlighting the physical. Traditional elements were a source of inspiration, but the result was decidedly contemporary.

Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, Religious Affairs Minister
We cannot afford to boycott the haj pilgrimage

For Religious Affairs Minister Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, this year's haj pilgrimage turned out to be an ordeal he had never bargained for: having to deal with two major tragedies in the Holy Land in a matter of weeks. One was the crash of a construction crane over the Haram Mosque and the other was the fatal stampede at Mina, when thousands of pilgrims rushed all at once toward the stone-throwing ritual. More than 100 Indonesians died as a result.

Lukman, a United Development Party (PPP) executive and head of the Indonesian haj pilgrims, along with the Haj Pilgrimage Organizing Committee (PPIH), had to bear responsibility for the two tragic incidents. In particular, he felt he needed to be directly involved in the process of seeking and identifying the Mina tragedy victims. It was a heavy burden to bear, given the constant public pressure for an explanation for the two incidents.

Suluk Tapel Adam in Frankfurt

A standing ovation thundered through the Frankfurt LAB in Frankfurt, Germany, on October 6 as soon as conductor Franck Ollu from Ensemble Modern Frankfurt finished presenting the work of Gatot Danar Sulistyo, 35, titled Mihrab, prayer niche. This was the final part of a program, Ruang Suara, or Sound Space, featuring the pieces of eight young Indonesian composers. The recitation of suluk, or mystical poetry, about the birth of Prophet Adam combined with percussion booms, along with the shrills of brass trumpets, trombones as well as the scrapes of cellos and violins in Gatot's composition might not just be strange to the ears of a German audience, but could also be a new experience for the Indonesian members of the audience.

The evening was a musical adventure. Ensemble Modern is known as a reputable group in Europe. Formed in 1980, this group is keen on playing the various works of avant-garde composers and frequently conducts tours from Africa to Latin America. The poster put up at Frankfurt LAB showed that they had just staged a collaboration performance with a group of gagaku, or old Japanese palace music. The clash of Eastern and Western instruments is nothing alien to them. That night, at Indonesia LAB, a festival to celebrate the selection of Indonesia as an honorary guest to Frankfurt Book Fair 2015, they tried to delve into the thoughts of our young composers, who in our own contemporary music world may not yet be popular enough.

AFTER his preoccupation with the controversy over the Javanese-intonation reading of the Qur'an, Religious Affairs Minister Lukman Hakim Saifuddin now must focus his attention on the Nusantara Islam issue. This involves the debate of a genre of Islam that is unique to Indonesia, one that is being unofficially supported by the government.

The rejection by hard-line Islamists has not dampened the government's plan to keep pushing for a Nusantara (archipelagic) Islam. "They got it wrong. Nusantara Islam is not an ideology," said Lukman, in a special interview with Tempo reporters Sugiharto and Sunudyantoro, last week.

Equally predictable was the media, which refused to entirely support the stance of the United Development Party (PPP) politician. A mere tweet, Lukman wryly commented, twisted by some people, had led to a counter-productive debate.

Fueling Confusion

THE government has once again implemented a confusing policy to limit the consumption of subsidized fuel. Instead of increasing prices, the government has decided to restrict sales of subsidized fuel at several locations, and is hoping that this will lead to a decline in consumption.

The government's aim is good: it wants to ensure that consumption of subsidized fuel does not exceed the quota in the 2014 State Budget. In June the government and the House of Representatives (DPR) agreed to limit the subsidized fuel quota up to the end of the year to only 46 million kiloliters. However, by the end of July, consumption of subsidized diesel had already reached 9.12 million kiloliters, or around 60 percent of the diesel quota, while for Premium gasoline, the figure was 17 million kiloliters, or approximately 58 percent of its quota. The concern is that if consumption is not limited, stocks of subsidized diesel will run out by the end of November, while supplies of Premium will only last until December 19.
