Training in Cambodia, Killing in KL

For six weeks, Siti Aisyah hung out with people now said to be North Korean agents. She was caught up in a plot to kill Kim Jong-nam, eldest son of the late Kim Jong-il, the former Supreme Leader of North Korea. Kim Jong-nam was once believed to inherit his father's mantle. Together with Doan Thi Huong, a citizen of Vietnam, Siti went through 12 rehearsals in seven locations, including in Cambodia, to kill Kim Jong-nam at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 on February 13. Now Siti and Doan Thi Huong are being held in a Malaysian prison on charges of premeditated homicide.

At Cross Purposes over Media Verification

We must support every endeavor to improve the Indonesian press, including setting up standards by the Press Councilas regulated by Press Council Regulation No. 4/2008. The 17-point guideline, if implemented properly, will make the press function as a medium of information, education, entertainment and social control, as well as being a truly healthy commercial entity.

At the time, the Press Council enjoyed widespread support. Its standards were discussed by organizations, press people and the leaders of media organizations. The Press Councilthen headed by former Gadjah Mada University Dean Ichlasul Amalwas seen as having achieved something important. Its role was specified in Article 15 (f) of Law No. 40/1999 on the Press, i.e. to facilitate press organizations in drawing up regulations and improving the quality of journalism.

Harry Widianto, Director for the Conservation of Historical Sites and Museums
When the community is involved,conservation is more effective

Conservation is one of the best ways to keep history alive. Yet, many historical sites and ancient artifacts in Indonesia are badly preserved and neglected. Historical sites and museums conservation director at the education and culture ministry, Harry Widianto, claims that the government is doing its best to conserve these sites and artifacts. Among other things, it has restored, conserved and improved an inventory system. The government has also appointed experts to tend to historical buildings.

Last October, the government selected five of those sites and awarded them as the best conservation programs in an effort to raise the quality of conservation management. Even so, the government still has difficulty in monitoring and tending to all historical sites, which as of 2013 numbered some 66,513 and were tended to by only 2,988 conservationists. This is why, Harry said, the government is encouraging community members to be involved in conservation efforts in their respective locales. "If the effort comes from the community, it will be more effective and enduring," Harry told Tempo English reporter Isma Savitri in his office two weeks ago.

The Smoking Sequel of Sampoerna's Subsidiary

The legal defeat at the Palembang District Court late last year did not deter the environment and forestry ministry to continue filing lawsuits against land-torching companies. This time, the ministry targeted National Sago Prima.

The ministry is accusing the subsidiary of Sampoerna Agro company of setting fire to 3,000 hectares of industrial plantation forest at Tebing Tinggi, Meranti, Riau. The ministry lodged its lawsuit with the South Jakarta District Court in accordance with the domicile of National Sago's head office at Sampoerna Strategic Square on Jalan Sudirman in Central Jakarta. "The lawsuit this time is much more clear. Our evidence is solid. We're optimistic that we'll win," said Jasmin Ragil Utomo, director for environment dispute settlements, last Thursday.

The Media Industry: Convergence and Conglomeration

2015 was always going to be a year of going 'back to basics' for the Indonesian media industry. The 2014 election year saw a media landscape in which many companies clearly supported presidential candidatesalthough to what extent and why varied. The influence of media owners has been exacerbated by the increased concentration of media industry through convergence, with proprietors who previously only owned one platform (such as print, radio or television) building large, powerful multi-platform oligopolies. Put simply, Indonesia's big media companies are getting bigger in the digital era, and the influence of owners has heightened as their companies increasingly dominate the media landscape. The arrival of new 24-hour television news stations in 2015, such as Hary Tanoesoedibyo's iNews and Chairul Tanjung's CNN Indonesia, continues this trend.

This year saw many news organisations begin their 'one newsroom' modelwhere reports from 'content providers' (previously known as 'journalists') are shaped by 'content curators' (previously known as 'editors') to create 'multiplatform digital stories' (what we used to call 'news'). This process is still in transition phase, so 2016 will be a year of experimentation as news practitioners attempt to figure out the best model of journalism, networked content, marketing and advertising for their increasingly digitally driven companies.

Rudiantara, Communications and Information Minister:
The rules of the game need to be established

The positive trend on digital economics has caught the attention of President Joko Widodo. This lucrative business has been expanding in the past few years and is expected to continue growing in line with the increasing numbers of Internet users with their smart-phones. The Indonesian E-Commerce Association (idEA) recorded at least US$12 billion worth of online commerce in 2014. This has led the President to urge Communications and Information Minister Rudiantara to prepare the necessary steps to ensure Indonesia can benefit from the rapid growth of online businesses.

Rudiantara himself is optimistic that digital transcations in Indonesia can reach US$137 billion or eight to nine percent of national gross domestic product (GDP) by 2020. "We must establish the rules of the game so Indonesia can benefit from it," he said. Rudiantara shared his views on this new economic phenomenon with Tempo reporters Akbar Tri Kurniawan and Ursula Florence at his residence in Jakarta last week. Excerpts:

Australia has once again caused controversy with its stance on refugees. Australian Immigration Minister Scott Morrison signed an agreement with Cambodian Interior Minister Sar Kheng to resettle refugees from Nauru island in the Pacific to Cambodia. In a joint press release, Morrison said Australia would use its expertise and experience to assist Cambodia to strengthen settlement support provided to refugees.

He also said Australia would bear the costs of the arrangement. "Including initial support to refugees, and relevant capacity-building for Cambodia to ensure it has the appropriate resources to receive and integrate the refugees successfully," he added. Previously, he had said that financial aid of AUS$40 million would be provided in the course of four years.

Al-qaeda India: Implications For Indonesia?

Sidney Jones*

Ayman Al-Zawahiri's announcement last week that al-Qaeda had established a new franchise on the Indian subcontinent will have little effect on Southeast Asia. It is the Islamic State (IS), formerly known as ISIL or ISIS, that is the problem for Indonesia, because unlike al-Qaeda, it is attracting young people by social media and because many of its supporters here support violence at home.

Does that mean we can safely ignore al-Qaeda India? Not necessarily, because it raises some interesting questions about where extremism in Indonesia is headed. We can start by looking at al-Qaeda's historic links to Indonesia and how they have evolved.

On Being Media Literate

At the recently-concluded Global Media Forum in Bali, one issue that was raised in almost all of the sessions was media literacy. Wikipediathat most accessible although not always accurate source of information todaydefines it as a repertoire of competencies that enable people to analyze, evaluate, and create messages in a wide variety of media modes, genres and formats. It goes on to explain that teaching media literacy encourages people to ask questions about what they watch, hear and read. It offers opportunities for people to critically analyze messages, such as identifying the author, the purpose and point of view and to detect whether they contain propaganda, censorship and bias in news and public affairs programming. In addition, being media literate would help people understand structural features such as media ownership or how it is funded. Most importantly, it helps citizens to be aware of their rights as media consumers to voice their views and concerns over what is being published.

In Indonesia, as people increasingly turn to the various alternative media for their sources of news and information, the urgent need for media literacy in Indonesia was indicated during the recent contentious presidential election. When push came to shove, the smear campaigning came to the fore. Enough voters actually believed the outrageous information that was published by a tabloid which was clearly intended as a defamation of the character of one candidate to benefit his rival. Fortunately, the tables were able to be turned when an opposing tabloid countered the charges by equally exaggerated information. Then there was the television stations owned by politicians supporting one or the other candidate, and blatantly showing their bias.

Rosarita Niken Widiastuti:
RRI Cannot take sides

ROSARITA Niken Widiastuti did not immediately start speaking. She kept squeezing the tissue paper in her hand, as if plucking up the courage to open the conversation. "Look, let's not discuss threats," said Niken, the executive director of state-owned Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) broadcasting station. She was on her way to Aceh, to close the Qur'an Reading Contest, along with Minister of Administrative Reform Azwar Abubakar and Aceh Governor Zaini Abdullah. "This is an annual affair of RRI," explained Niken.

She is very aware that her agency is under the public spotlight. RRI's quick count of the recent presidential polls seems to have triggered sharp debate. She now faces the prospect of being summoned by the House of Representatives' (DPR) Commission on Information, whose chairman, Mahfudz Siddiq, maintains that RRI's quick count was not part of its mandate.

A Century of "New" Gondangdia

This is a portrait of how things have changed in the first elite neighborhood in the Dutch Indies. The area in question was formerly called Nieuw-Gondangdia. Later its name was changed to Menteng. This is where the wealthy lived, from top government officials and governors to ambassadors and businesspeople. Over the years, however, its beauty has faded. It has grown in an irregular fashion, due to the inconsistent application of city regulations, as well as its residents' lack of concern for the environment.

On this year's anniversary of the city of Jakarta, which coincides with Menteng's 100th anniversary, Tempo attempts to write extensively about Indonesia's first modern tropical residential area. This is where the Indische (Indies) architectural style originated. Not many buildings of this style exist today. Now it is a crowded, polluted area, used by motorists avoiding carpool roads. Menteng is a typical example of Jakarta's muddled zoning regulations.

High mountains, deep valleys and dense forests can no longer impede the flow of information.

The 1998 reforms expanded the scope of media community, raising the number of radio stations from 700 to 2,000. Villages became an integral and active part of the world of information.

The Word is India

From every corner of the worldLondon, New York, the Cambodian hinterland or rural Egyptthey have launched their works, capturing the attention of a mesmerized world. A few decades ago, their predecessorsR.K. Narayan, G.V. Desani and Anita Desaialso produced great literary works, unfortunately doomed to dwell in the silent and isolated world at home. Abroad, they became mere exotic items punctuating the catalogs of quality foreign publishers. The revival began in the 1980s, when Salman Rushdie rocked world literature with his Midnight's Children. Following him, a great array of new writers and their works, have come to light and shot to fame. Among them are Amitav Ghosh, Vikram Seth, Amit Chauduri, Hanif Kureishi, Ardashir Vakil, Jhumpa Lahiri, Kiran Desai, Arundhati Roy and Shauna Singh Baldwin. Born to Indian or Pakistani middle-class families, they are educated and speak English as fluently as they do their mother tongue. In most cases, their English is even more fluent than their native language. These are the writers of post-colonial Indian literature, who have managed to secure respectable places in the arena of world literature. Assisted by the attentions of British and American publishers, their diaspora literature has developed a voice, and speaks to the world. The following article dissects this phenomenon. TEMPO reporter Dewi Anggraini interviewed two of them, Amitav Ghosh and Hanif Kureishi, at a literary festival in Hong Kong recently.

Through films, we can show the face of Indonesia

Not many filmakers have delved into the lives of Indonesians in remote areas. But seasoned producer Mira Lesmana sees a wealth of interesting stories from the outer islands. One of Mira's films, Atambua 39 Celcius (2012) explores the culture of West Timor in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, not a frequently visited area. The film uses the local Tetun dialect, which is fast disappearing. "I have this wish to preserve something before it changes or disappears," said the founder of Miles Films production company,

NTT is the background of her 2014 film, Pendekar Tongkat Emas (Knight of the Golden Rod), which was produced in Waingapu, Sumba. "I happen to be in love with NTT, a region with a unique character.
