New Capital

PRESIDENT Joko Widodo plans to relocate the administrative capital to a city outside Jakarta. A good idea, albeit a late one. Jakarta is already too crowded. We need a new, fresh city with a vast area to develop.

Yosmina Tapilatu
Exploring Undersea Riches

Yosmina Helena Tapilatu grew up to love the sea. Born in Ternate, North Maluku, she finally took the plunge into deep-sea research. Marine research, according to Yosmina, can bring large changes to the lives of many. "This is rewarding work," said Yosmina in an interview two weeks ago.

Yosmina is an oceanographic researcher at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI). She is one of seven female researchers who work at the LIPI Deep Sea Research Center in Ambon, Maluku. There are 25 researchers with varying backgrounds at that marine research institution. Yosmina, however, specializes in marine microbiology research.

Rapid Rail Balancing Act

During a meeting break at his office last Monday, Coordinating Minister for the Economy Darmin Nasution pulled Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan aside for a chat. He asked Jonan the latest status of the Jakarta-Bandung rapid railway project, which is listed as a strategic project of the government.

"Jonan, who put it on the list?" Darmin asked, as quoted by a senior official who witnessed the exchange. Jonan immediately responded, "I don't know. I thought you knew."

Minority Cows In the Capital City

Two weeks ago, the cages for local cattle at the Tapos slaughterhouse in Depok, West Java, appeared deserted. Only two Bali cows could be seen tethered at the front of the 2,000-square-meter pen. By contrast, in the back, some 70 Australian cows stood crammed in a similar-sized pen.

Domestic cattle have become increasingly scarce in the capital city, crowded out by the import of foreign-raised cattle. Marina Ratna Dwi Kusumajati, CEO of Dharma, a Jakarta-owned slaughterhouse (RPH), said the number of heads of local cattle was indeed dwindling. "At the moment, 97 percent of slaughterhouses in Greater Jakarta are filled with imported cattle," she said Tuesday two weeks ago.

Franky Sibarani, Chairman, Capital Investment Coordinating Board
We launched a licensing revolution

On the map of Asia, Indonesia has been given an appealing handle by The Economist Corporate Network. From a survey carried out in early 2015, the publication concluded that the second most attractive investment destination in Asia is Indonesia. The same survey noted that 57.9 percent of companies will be increasing their investments in this nation, with the fourth largest population in the world.

Franky Sibarani, chairman of the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), who was sworn in last November, is prepping himself to receive these investors with open arms. A background in the corporate world, with nearly 25-years in strategic positions in the private sector, has led this former chair of the Indonesian Businesspeople Association (API) to totally understand what makes many businesses and investors hesitate to do business: the hassle of bureaucratic licensing. "I, myself, have been a victim," Franky told Tempo.

Capital Crimes

JAKARTA is often described as a microcosm of Indonesia. But the level of corruption in the capital city can no longer be classified as micro, given the same extent of crime committed at the national level, in terms of method, scale and the network of perpetrators involved. This can be seen in the 2014 Jakarta Regional Budget, which flowed over to this year.

Backroom Deals Over Recapitalization

Aburizal Bakrie wasted no time opening the meeting of the Red-White Coalition (KMP), composed of the political parties opposing President Joko Widodo's government. Attended by leaders of almost all the coalition parties, the meeting, held at the Bakrie Tower in South Jakarta last week, discussed the latest political developments related to a 2015 State Budget revision under discussion in the House of Representatives (DPR). The crucial point was the Jokowi administration's proposal for capital injections for state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

Tapis Inc.

Tapisa cloth woven in golden threadsis an icon of Lampung province. Even the provincial capital of Bandar Lampung, is described as the 'Shiny Tapis City." Once, Lampung's oldest traditional cloth used to be produced only by young girls because they would one day be wearing them on their wedding day. Today, the tapis has become a profitable business, penetrating even global markets. The tapis carnival at Bandar Lampung in October exhibited the diverse beauty of this traditional cloth. Tempo English correspondent Nurochman Arrazie reports from Lampung, Sumatra.

The Last Bastion of the Lapindo Mudflow

On Friday two weeks ago, the gush of underground mud in Porong, Sidoarjo, some 200 meters from the Banjar Panji I gas exploration well owned by PT Lapindo Brantas, was exactly three years old. Fifty thousand people in 12 villages were rendered homeless by the disaster. This could be only the beginning of the tragedy. In March, a ring dam surrounding the source of mud collapsed as the earth beneath subsided. A daily flow of 100,000 cubic meters of mud is now directly impacting the external dam as the only dividing wall between 64 million cubic meters of mud and settlements. If this 3-meter-wide fortress gives way, a calamity like that in Situ Gintung, Tangerang, may recur.

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.

Zatapi: Strange Brew

ZATAPI is becoming notorious. The imported crude oil product from Gold Manor has now resulted in Pertamina’s CEO coming under attack from all side. Aside from the company’s board of commissioners, it has also attracted the attention of the Attorney General’s Office and House of Representatives, who have caught wind of irregularities behind the importation of Zatapi crude oil.

A pile of documents indicates that a series of import tender procedures were violated. A Tempo investigation from Cilacap to Singapore has untangled the links between the oil “merchants” behind the company based in the British Virgin Islands. The importation of “black gold” it seems, remains an appealing field for the pursuit of dirty money.

Zapin

OUTSIDE the night was pitch-black and raining. Lit by a portable power generator, the stage inside was the scene of dancers, young and old, gracefully and spiritedly moving their feet back and forth to the rhythm of music played on gambus and marwas. That was Semarak Zapin Serantau, a regional zapin dance festival recently held in the small town of Bengkalis in Central Sumatra’s Riau province. Tempo reports on the festival which, despite the rain, made an impressive show of the traditional Malay dance.

El Comandante Under Capitalist Siege

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 prefaced the collapse of communism, as it did in the Soviet Union and in China, where it is slowly transforming into capitalism. Yet Cuba and Fidel Castro, wrapped in their own cocoon of socialism, have persevered. TEMPO's Hermien Y. Kleden recently visited Havana, where she met with Cubans of varied backgrounds and noted the unique Cuban way of life. The following is her special report.
