Sriwedari Exits Stage Left

Members of the Sriwedari Javanese troupe are facing quiet nights, with only a dozen or so people arriving each night to watch their performance. Solo-based Balekambang Ketoprak group, which performs historical Javanese drama, is in a similarly miserable condition. To cover living expenses, its members are forced to take side jobs. Some even become pedicab drivers. A breakthrough is needed to bring back the glory of traditional arts. Quite a challenge, given the heavy burden of daily life that can get the better of the creativity and energy of these groups.

Opening Access to The Joys Of Dance

Indonesia is home to 1.6 million children with special needs, according to the Ministry of Education and Culture's estimate. Many of these children are robbed of the chance to enjoy the full range of opportunities that should be available to them, both due to the lack of access to special needs education as well as the limited range of activities offered to them. These unfortunate conditions motivated a couple in Denpasar, Bali, to establish Sandi Muni Kumara, a dance studio dedicated for deaf children. In Mataram, the Chantiqa Dance Studio offers a class for children with disabilities. Tempo English reports in commemoration of National Children's Day, July 23.

A Dangerous Shortcut

The government has overreacted by issuing Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) No. 2/2017. This regulation, which allows for the banning of organizations seen as being at odds with the Pancasila state philosophy or the 1945 Constitution, endangers democracy. Many non-government organizations, not only the hardline Islamist Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), can become the potential target. Moreover, there was no need to issue this Perppu in the first place because the banning of organizations is already covered by Law No. 17/2013 on Mass Organizations.

Danny's Smart City

THE first order Mohammad Ramdhan Pomanto gave to his subordinates after he took office as Makassar's mayor in May 2014, may seem unconventional. Instead of sticking to the usual practice of asking the staff to translate campaign vision and mission statements into programs, the new mayor ordered all civil servants, including neighborhood and hamlet chiefs, to download WhatsApp on their mobile phones.

The mayor, who goes by 'Danny', was not the messaging app's brand ambassador. "I was only looking for a quick and effective communication channel," he explained.

Market Pulse: Dancing Dangerously to Trump's Beat

Short-term populist economic policies are increasingly dominating the world. One is protectionism. In his first days in office, US President Donald Trump immediately pulled his country out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Trump also invited Mexico and Canada to meet and reassess the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Indeed, protectionism benefits firms that enjoy the protection. But in the long run, inefficiencies and hidden costs will emerge, and that will rot the economy from the inside out. This is the danger that has economists and analysts around the world wringing their hands.

Daniel Kaufmann, President, Natural Resource Governance Institute:
Good Governance Means The Rule Of Law Not The Rule Of Man Prevails

Measuring the social and economic development of a country has been done countless times, by means of various accepted formulas. But only in the last decade has the understanding of good governance as the key to effective development been seriously and intensively studied and researched. Based on 40 data sources, and produced by 30 organizations worldwide, since 2002, the Worldwide Governance Indicators have been applied to 200 countries to measure the country's level of governance. This has provided watchdog groups with the necessary tools to monitor policy and initiate reforms, which also helps to immeasurably assess perceptions of corruption among businesses, public officials and politicians. Much of the work can be attributed to Dr. Daniel Kaufmann when the studies were initially conducted at the World Bank Institute, where he worked. For the past two years, Kaufmann has headed the Natural Resources Governance Institute (NRGI), which pioneered the Resource Governance Index to measure the transparency levels of countries in managing their extractive industry. Kaufmann was in Indonesia recently to meet with public figures in government, the business community and members of the local civil society, and to be the keynote speaker at a panel discussion on 'The Impact of Low Oil Prices on Indonesia's Reform Agenda' which was co-organized by the NRGI and Tempo English magazine. He was recently interviewed by journalists Hermien Y Kleden, Sadika Hamid, Gusthida Budiartie dan Edward Stephens from the Tempo Media Group. Excerpts:

Bangkok Dangerous

BENNY Moerdani asked Teddy Rusdy for a sheet of paper. On the paper he wrote: "Dear Pak Yoga, from now on, the show is mine!-LBM". The intelligence deputy chief for defense and security then asked Teddy, a Defense Ministry (Hankam) Intelligence Staff Officer Assistant VII, to take this message to General Yoga Soegomo, chief of the intelligence coordination agency, at the crisis control center, 400 meters from the DC-10 Sumatra aircraft. It was then the very early hours of Tuesday, March 31, 33 years ago.

The DC-10 Sumatra served as the flying headquarters for Benny Moerdani and the 24 personnel of the Sandi Yudha Force (Kopassandha) command, led by Lt. Col. Sintong Panjaitan. They were getting ready to take back the Woyla DC-9 airplane which, on March 28 had been hijacked to Bangkok's Don Muang Airport, 12 minutes after taking off from Palembang.

Populaarizing Palace Dances

On Friday, May 23, at the pendopo (pavilion) of Tejokusuman, Yogyakarta, I witnessed an important event: the reconstruction and documentation of the dance Srimpi Ronggojanur created by Sultan Hamengkubuwono VIII (1921-1939). This was part of a program put on by Taman Budaya Yogyakarta in conjunction with well-known dance association Krida Beksa Wirama.

At 7:20pm, the gamelan (traditional musical ensemble) musicians, dressed in maroon Yogya-style jackets, batik headcloths with a black background and wrapped batik sarung, took their places behind the instruments. Soon after that, the female singers followed, dressed in kebaya (traditional blouses) of the same maroon color and wrapped in long batik skirts and with their hair wound up in buns. At precisely 7:30pm, the gamelan began to play, greeting the guests. "The performance will take more than one hour," said the emcee, who politely asked that the audience turn off all electronic gadgets. Any noise disturbance would force the presenters to repeat the entire dance from the beginning.

Dancing for Life

When the 2014 National Education and Culture convention was held at the start of this month, one of the priority topics of discussion was the need to conserve traditional culture. To be more specific, to preserve the dances representing the wealth of our diverse arts and traditions sadly being neglected by the younger generation. An effort is now underway to financially support and sustain traditional dance studios all over the archipelago to make it more attractive for youths. Tempo English reports on the revival of these studios in Sumbawa, West Sumatra and Central Kalimantan.

Omar Dani
The Highflier Who Landed in Prison

HE came from an upper middle-class family, part of the government bureaucracy in Solo. Towards the end of the 1950s he joined the air force and began a career that later went badly wrong. It was the G30S affair that destroyed Air Commodore Omar Dani’s career. He was accused of being involved in the Indonesian Communist Party rebellion and thereafter was to spend a third of his life as a political prisoner. Tempo recently interviewed Omar who is now 85 years old after he survived a critical bout of Hepatitis C. He recounted to Tempo the events of the September 30 affair and his relationship with Suharto.

Bambang Hendarso Danuri: We have not closed the book on Lapindo

AS he promised to do when he was sworn in as National Police Chief five months ago, Police General Bambang Hendarso Danuri continues to restructure his personnel. Problems of illegal logging, gambling, illegal fishing, narcotics and disruptive activities have been his top priority.

He is not just targeting the low-level officers; everyone seems to be given his ‘once-over’ assessment. “It is all to build public trust,” he explained. In line with the Police Force’s strategic plan, raising the people’s trust must be accelerated so the target of a 2010 completion date can be achieved.

After The Dance

The incident happened despite the presence of thousands of army and police units assigned to protect President Yudhoyono. Unofficial cakalele dancers approached the President and almost unfurled the outlawed RMS flag. The authorities are now blaming each other. In Los Angeles, RMS President Alexander H. Manuputty claimed the action had long been planned by his followers. “That is the political right of the Maluku people.”

Dance Maestros Who Continue to Shine

For a dance maestro, the most important thing is perbawa or taksu. It’s an aura, a magical light, which announces to the world that he’s a dancer. Once on stage, even without any movement whatsoever, the audience would know and say: here’s a maestro. Of course, it isn’t easy to attain so prestigious a perbawa. It needs extreme patience and hard work. Tarwo Sumosutragio, for instance, had to go through a prihatin mood, including a puasa ngrowot, to attain perbawa. During this fasting period, she survived only on fruit and ketela roots.

What of the other maestros? Following are excerpts of interviews TEMPO recently had with some of the maestros of different traditional backgrounds:

After the Dragon is Free to Dance

Ahead of the Chinese New Year some weeks ago, Chinese culture suddenly became an attractive and saleable commodity. Television stations competed with each other for ratings by featuring programs with Chinese themes. Quality was of secondary concern. But more important, was the realization of a true Chinese New Year celebration. A new film, Ca Bau Kan, adapted from Remy Sylado's novel, which discusses aspects of Chinese culture, was also part of this momentum. A festive atmosphere was to be found in every shopping center, where Gong Xi Fa Cai (Happy Chinese New Year) banners and lion dance performances were prominently on display. The climate of exhilerating openness initiated by Abdurrahman Wahid's presidency can be considered a chief contributing factor to this development. Unfortunately, after 30 years in the shackles, artistic expression amongst ethnic Chinese Indonesians may have been stunted. The wayang potehi, or Chinese hand-puppetry, seems to be facing extinction. Join us in a TEMPO special on the arts and culture of China that are once again shining in Indonesia.
