Sukhoi Scandal Revisited

Thousands of secret financial documents shed light on suspicious transactions involving government officials, businessmen, and banking authorities all over the globe. A number of Indonesian businessmen are mentioned in the #FinCENFiles—leaked data from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a United States financial intelligence bureau. The documents also mention suspicious activities surrounding the Indonesian government’s purchase of Sukhoi fighter jets in 2011-2013. This report was made possible through Tempo’s collaboration with the network of 110 media outlets from 88 countries, coordinated by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and BuzzFeed News.

Beware of Buying Sukhois

The government should keep a close watch on the Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker procurement by the defense ministry to stave off brokers and bloated costs. As such, it needs to first make sure that the purchase is auditable before rushing in on unclear procedures. After all, President Joko Widodo refrained from signing the purchase contract when he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow two weeks ago.

Previously, just ahead of Jokowi's arrival, Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu told the media that Indonesia was set to buy eight Su-35 units. The jets are to replace the Air Force's aging F-5 Tiger light-fighter jets. Ryacudu said that Su-35's avionic system is superior to the fifth-generation US F-22 Raptor stealth fighter aircrafts.

Sheikh Ath-Thayyeb Grand Imam, Al-Azhar Mosque
Islam is not Enforced by the Sword

The visit of the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar of Cairo, Egypt, Sheikh Ahmad Muhammad Ahmad Ath-Thayyeb, to Indonesia was to reaffirm the message of peace, as taught in Islam. During the week-long visit in mid-February, Ath-Thayyeb met with various figures, including President Joko Widodo and members of the Indonesia Council of Ulama (MUI) and visited the Gontor Darussalam Modern Islamic Boarding School in Ponorogo, East Java.

Ath-Thayyeb, who is also the rector of Al-Azhar University, is known as a moderate religious scholar. He often propagates peaceful Islamic teachings and is against violence claiming to be based on religious teachings. In Egypt, this 70-year-old man is against the Muslim Brotherhood (Al-Ikhwan al-Muslimin). In fact, he declared that Al-Azhar has never been open to that fundamentalist group.

Best Sctor Chicco Jerikho
A Star Called Chicco

The names Nicholas Saputra, Lukman Sardi and Reza Rahadian have long dominated the Indonesian film industry. Chicco Jerickho suddenly emerged after the screening of his film Cahaya dari Timur: Beta Maluku ('The Light from the East: Beta Maluku'), a work by Angga Dwimas Sasongko. Chicco was Tempo's Best Actor last year for his portrayal of the role of Sani Tawainella, a Moluccan teenager who uses football to prevent an outbreak of religious conflict between local children. Since then, Chicco has become another rising star. The competition this year has been healthier, more interesting and absorbing. Once again,Chicco is our choice for best actor ahead of five other leading contenders.

In Joko Anwar's latest film, A Copy of My Mind, to be released in February next year, he plays Alek (no 's' at the end of his name), a subtitling translator for pirated DVDs in the Glodok area. Every day he translates foreign films (including pornographic ones) while caring for his aunt, who only watches television all day long. In the evenings, Alek wastes his money on gambling. His life changes after he meets Sari (Tara Basro), who works at a beauty salon. He only realizes this when he sees how he reacts when Sari is in danger, not only because love and intimacy have now entered his life.

Irzal Rakhmadani
A Doctor Working through the Smoke

After the noon prayers, Irzal Rakhmadani, 24, packed his things in a rucksack and went out. Two items he never goes without are his stethoscope and sphygmometer. He would ride on his motorbike to the office of the World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan, three kilometers away. There, he would treat people suffering from the effects of forest fire smoke around Palangkaraya. In 2015, he treated some 1,000 patients.

In mid-September, Irzal and his colleagues visited a camp for workers who had been laid off by an oil palm company. Fifteen volunteers of Earth Hour Palangkaraya had gathered to help the smoke victims there. Irzal saw something that distressed him. About 300 people were crammed into a 5x15 meter barrack. Because there was not enough room, tarpaulin tents had been set up outside the barracks. People lived alongside chicken and their pet dogs.

Peter Sondakh:
There's no Science to Maneuvering

LAST month, the giant Indonesian palm oil company, Eagle High Plantation, sold off 30 percent of its shares, valued at US$632 million, and the stock exchange Eagle 7 percent to 2.6 percent to Felda Global Ventures, a Malaysian state-owned company. Although one benefit will be to get experts in production technology, Eagle's transaction created quite a stir, given that the sale was seen to be underpriced and took place in the midst of a downturn in the global price of palm oil.

It was the move of 61-year-old Peter Sondakh, CEO of Rajawali Corporation, who is known for his 'derring-do' in the world of business. Since the mid-1990s, Sondakh has been the man behind the sale and purchase of big companies. For example, he sold the cigarette company Bentoel to British American Tobacco (BAT) in mid-2009, even though the company had been releasedby Sondakh himselffrom a debilitating US$700 million debt since 1992.

Sukhoi Enshrouded

Purchased from the Russian Government using a counter-trade scheme, the planesand two attack Mill helicopter unitsare worth a total of more than Rp1.7 trillion. If the purchase process is likened to an orchestra, the conductor is none other than Minister Rini M.S. Soewandi. However, not long after the down payment on the planesin cash terms more than Rp220.3 billionthe Sukhoi orchestra was no longer in harmony: some members of the House of Representatives (DPR) raised questions over the purchase process of the fighter jets. Among others, the source of financing didn't come from a budget that had become lawa normal practice during the New Order era. Accountability on the Sukhoi purchase process is the most important question that the government must answer to the public. TEMPO's investigation team traced a number of irregularities behind the purchase of the Russian planes. Here is the report.

Kiagus Ahmad Badaruddin, PPATK Chairman: I Can Take Chaos If It Brings Positive Results

When he was still the inspector-general at the Ministry of Finance three months ago, Kiagus Ahmad Badaruddin, 59, was angered by a report on a sum of Rp3 billion that had been deposited into his wife's account. It shook him, particularly since he was being considered for the position of chairman of the Center for Financial Transactions Reporting and Analysis (PPATK).

That report spread to the Presidential Palace and to the finance ministry. Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, who recommended Badaruddin to be PPATK chief, took a deeper look at the report. "She asked me what the money was all about," recounted Badaraddin, or Badar as he is familiarly known.

Tubagus Haryo Karbyanto Advocacy Division, National Tobacco Control Agency
Smoking should not be seen as normal

THE House of Representatives (DPR) has helped ease the way for the Tobacco Bill to be included in the list of legislations to be enacted this year. The National Tobacco Control Commission quickly responded with a public service ad which essentially rejected the bill.

The commission sees the draft tobacco law as counterproductive to controlling the high prevalence of smoking in Indonesia. The National Basic Health Research conducted in 2013 saw a rise of 34.2 percent in the number of smokers aged 15 and above in 2007 to 36.3 percent of the total population, which now stands over 256 million. Tubagus Haryo Karbyanto of the commission's advocacy division stressed that the increase was largely due to the easy access to cigarettes, the smoking habit and the industry, which are all considered as normal in Indonesia. "These three factors-despite their legality-should not be seen as normal," said Tubagus.

The Past Catches Up with Nursalim

The Attorney General’s Office is breaking new ground. Two special teams are being formed to re-investigate the Rp650 trillion BLBI debt settlement by former owners of banks devastated by the economic crisis 10 years ago.

The Attorney General at the time even asked the United States to trace BDNI’s assets there.
