I Can’t be Bribed

Since his recent appointment as the Naritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister, Sakti Wahyu Trenggono has already annulled three regulations on lobster larvae export and the use of trawl issued by his predecessor, Edhy Prabowo, who was arrested in the lobster larvae export graft case. The former deputy minister of defense with extensive experience in telecommunication is in the process of issuing regulations to ban the export of lobster larvae and the use of cantrang or trawl to prevent overfishing and ecological destruction. Given the task by the President to improve the welfare of fishermen, Trenggono is trying to steer the farmers toward fish farming which he believes will bring prosperity to the country’s small-scale fishers. He also vowed not to repeat the mistakes of his predecessor.

Emirsyah Satar's name never appeared on the Corruption Eradication Commission's (KPK) radar screen of dishonest officials who needed watching. During his tenure as chief executive of Garuda Indonesia airlines from 2005 to 2014, he was known as a smart executive. "We were initially shocked because he built a positive image during his leadership at Garuda," said KPK deputy chairman Laode Muhammad Syarif.

Emirsyah's reputation has now gone down the drain because he is believed to have taken bribes over the nine years of his service. The total amount is not insignificant: Rp46 billion from suppliers during the procurement of aircraft engines, particularly from the British manufacturer Rolls-Royce.

Bribing and Taming the Police

In West Java, law enforcement authorities, like elsewhere, are tasked with arresting criminals, not cover up their crimes. But the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) testimony of former Subang Regent Ojang Suhandi, who confessed to having bribed police officers to escape the law, proves otherwise. Instead of chasing criminals, the police conspired with them to cover up crimes.

For his part, Ojang, a member of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), was caught bribing a prosecutor in an attempt to have his name erased from the social security fund (BPJS) graft case file. A court had found two former officials of the Subang health services department guilty of embezzling Rp4.7 billion from the social security claim refund of Rp41 billion, and subsequently sentenced them to four years in prison.

Shaken by the Reclamation Bribery Case

JAKARTA Governor Basuki Tjahaja 'Ahok' Purnama says no one can manipulate his leadership. The pledge was made after the Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) slapped a travel ban on staff member Sunny Tanuwidjaja for allegedly bribing a Jakarta lawmaker from the Great Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party, Mohamad Sanusi, in relation to the Jakarta Bay reclamation project.

The KPK confiscated Rp140 million and US$8,000 from a Rp1 billion agreed-upon fee. Sunny is suspected of acting as the middle man between Sanusi and a group of investors involved in the reclamation project. These firms were united in opposition to a hike in 'added contribution' that was then being debated at the Jakarta City Council (DPRD).

Bribery and Prosecutors

There are still unanswered questions about the detention at the end of last month of three people allegedly about to bribe to a prosecutor. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), which caught the three men red-handed, still owes an explanation. The public should not be left uncertain as to why the person suspected of taking the bribe seems to have remained untouched.

Of the three suspects, the two who were immediately indicted are the director and the manager of Brantas Abipraya, a state-owned company. They actually handed over the money. The other person was the middleman who was to take the bribe money to a prosecutor at the Jakarta Attorney-General's Office (AGO) in order to halt the proceedings in a corruption case involving the Brantas company. But the KPK operation did not detain a single person alleged to have taken the bribe.

The 'Snapper's Head' Bribery Network

DJODI Supratman took a free moment to stop by his former office on the fifth floor of the Supreme Court building on Jalan Medan Merdeka Utara, Jakarta, Friday four weeks ago. There he found the office's current occupant, Andri Tristianto Sutrisna, at work. "I just said hello," Djodi told Tempo on Tuesday last week.

A Bribefor a Capital City

A member of the DPR, Al-Amin Nasution, was arrested by investigators from the KPK two weeks ago. He is suspected of accepting bribe money from Azirwan, Secretary of the Government of Bintan Regency, Riau province, who also happens to be Chief Commissioner of PT Bintan Inti Sukses. Both men were arrested together.

The money was allegedly given to facilitate the process of rezoning 8,300 hectares of protected forest in Bintan. This area is to be transformed into the regency’s capital city and a major business area. This massive project involves a consortium of Singapore tourism companies and a Jakarta businessperson. The total project is valued at Rp13 trillion.

From Bintan, Tempo reports that construction had already begun on part of the protected forest before the legislature gave its approval on April 9. A few multistory buildings have already been built there.

What are the details and the complications involving this project? Is it true that Al-Amin is the only “insider” on the project? A number of Tempo sources said that two other DPR members attended the Ritz-Carlton meeting on the night that Al-Amin was arrested. Here is the complete story.

To some conservative Japanese reactionaries, writer Aiko Kurasawa is unpatriotic because she wrote a book on the cruelty of the Japanese military in Javanese villages. She has been branded by some as a communist. Kurasawa's interest in Indonesia began a long time ago, when she first read about Sukarno, whom she regards as a hero of the Asia-African movement. Not surprisingly, when the 1965 events exploded, she was devastated upon reading about the resulting fall of Sukarno. "I was shocked," said Kurasawa, who was recently interviewed at her home in south Jakarta.

Mighty Majapahit

Regarded as the Golden Age of Indonesian history, the vast maritime empire of Majapahit reached its apogee in the 14th century. Though it thrived for only 300 years (late 13th century to early 16th century), Majapahit was Indonesia's greatest state, the last in a long line of Buddhist and Hindu Javanese kingdoms. Islam had ostensibly erased Indian cultural traditions by the 16th century, yet Buddhist-Hindu traces can still be seen in the rituals and architecture of the kraton courts of Bali and central Java, and innumerable motifs and styles of the earlier cultures are found everywhere in Indonesian art.
