Modernizing Soekarno-Hatta Airport

Airports are the gateways to a country. They are the veranda, the front door that must not only provide facilities for passengers but also be pleasant. It is fair to say that the level of development and modernity of a nation can be measured from its airports.

As such, Angkasa Pura II is doing the right thing by modernizing the airports under its management. One priority must be Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Improvements to infrastructure and technology are urgently needed. Soekarno-Hatta is still a 'second class' airport. At the 2015 World Airport Awards in March, Soekarno-Hatta was ranked number 57, far below Singapore's Changi Airport, which came on top, and Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur Airport at number 19. This should spur faster improvement and revitalization so Soekarno-Hatta can compete with airports in neighboring countries.

Soekarno-Hatta On the Go

NIAN and Nata have been flooded with orders over the last six months. The two 50-something-year-old tradesmen from Rawa Rengas village, Kosambi, in the Tangerang regency of Banten, are receiving all sorts of requests from their neighbors who want to build homes, rentable premises or miscellaneous buildings on their now-vacant plots of land.

Many other tradesmen in adjacent villages are experiencing similar good fortune. Apart from Rawa Rengas, two other villages in Tangerang as well as two urban villages in Tangerang City lie within Soekarno-Hatta International Airport's expansion zone. Since the information was leaked, locals in these five areas seem to have been competing against one another in building whatever they can. Springing up like mushrooms in the rainy season, hundreds of buildings have been built recently, even in paddy fields. "Villagers have been busily building ever since they heard about the planned evictions," Nian said last week.

Sekarpandan

His name is Sekarpandan. He is short, with a huge behind. In Cirebon style wayang kulit, he is one of the nine clown-retainers who accompany the five Pandawa.

Sekarpandan got his bodily form after taunting Semar, who wanted to marry Sekarpandan's older sister Sudiragen. In the fight that ensued, Sekarpandan lost and was thrown into a clump of pandanus, immediately changing form: he became a replica of the person he had been taunting. Also in character.

A Member of Sarekat Islam

ASKED by the Dutch colonial government to spy on the Sarekat Islam, Agus Salim was drawn to the organization instead. His high intellect and religious knowledge soon made him a confidant of Haji Oemar Said Tjokroaminoto, the leader of Sarekat Islam. Later the two were known as a duumvirate. It was Salim who initiated a movement to 'drive out' communist elements within Sarekat Indonesia. In fact, he was instrumental in transforming it into a party and became a top leader of Sarekat Islam Indonesia Party after Tjokroaminoto passed away.

Sweet Smell of Enrekang Coffee

The regency of Enrekang in South Sulawesi is blessed with land and weather conducive to good coffee production. Despite its domestic consumption and exports, however, Enrekang coffee is not as popular as that of Tana Toraja, even though both types are grown around the same land area and Enrekang coffee ranks at the top nationally. Realizing the potential, the government has begun actively to re-cultivate and seek new ways of processing this coffee, first grown during the Dutch colonial days. A number of importing countries—like Malaysia—have indicated their interest in providing assistance to the farmers and the local government. A Tempo English Edition special report from Enrekang.

Erry Riyana Harjapamekas:
The TNI’s competence is not in doing business

There have been increasing demands to implement one of the key elements of the 1998 Reforms. Indeed, a number of things have been achieved, like cutting down the military’s political rights in parliament during the 2004 General Elections. Law No. 34/2004 on the TNI says the TNI businesses must be cleaned up. After the data collection team—implemented by Secretary of State-Owned Enterprises, Said Didu—verification will be carried out by the National Team on TNI Assets Takeover, led by Erry Riyana Harjapamekas.

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.
