Danny's Smart City

THE first order Mohammad Ramdhan Pomanto gave to his subordinates after he took office as Makassar's mayor in May 2014, may seem unconventional. Instead of sticking to the usual practice of asking the staff to translate campaign vision and mission statements into programs, the new mayor ordered all civil servants, including neighborhood and hamlet chiefs, to download WhatsApp on their mobile phones.

The mayor, who goes by 'Danny', was not the messaging app's brand ambassador. "I was only looking for a quick and effective communication channel," he explained.

Rosa Dahlia
Light of Lanny Jaya

IT was almost midnight when the five seven-year-olds piled up their books on the table in the middle of the room. It was still raining outside. But Rosa Dahlia told the kids to quickly go home. As a teacher in Lualo District, Lanny Jaya Regency, Papua, she worried that they would come late to school the following day. "The next day, we were supposed to go swimming at a spring," Rosa explained in an interview two weeks ago.

This activity was to replace their regular Saturday film showing. That had to be canceled because she had left her laptop behind in Poga, a three-hour walk from Lualo. During the rainy season, the unpaved path connecting the two places turns to mud.

Babatunde Osotimehin UN Under Secretary-General & UNFPA Executive Director
Family planning is not A health issue, it's a rights issue

With a 1.49 percent annual growth rate, Indonesia's current population of more than 250 million is expected to surpass that of the United States by 2043, possibly becoming the third most populous country after China and India. Despite a national family planning program in place since 1967, Indonesia continues to struggle with various sociocultural constraints that prevent it from becoming more effective and efficient. Such issues emerged during the recent International Conference on Family Planning in Nusa Dua, Bali.

On the sidelines of the biennial conference, Tempo English contributing editor Cory Rogers spoke to Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, the current executive director of the United Nations Fund for Population (UNFPA). Dr. Osotimehin, a Nigerian national who is serving his second term as head of UNFPA, shared his views on how empowering women through sexual and reproductive health rights is a key to unlocking Indonesia's development potential. Excerpts of the interview:

Banning App-based Transport

THE prohibition of application-based ojeks and taxis was revoked amid public outcry and the intervention of President Joko Widodo, who called it a hastily implemented ban. Too rigid in applying regulations, Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan also made himself look uncaring to the city's dire need for proper public transportation system when he banned these popular modes of transport.

Referring to the Law No. 22/2009 on traffic and road transportation and Government Regulation No.74/ 2014 on modes of road transportation, Minister Jonan argued that online transport services were against the law. So, he sent a letter to the National Police chief on November 9 to go after Uber taxis and GO-JEK and GrabBike motorcycle taxis, also known locally as ojeks.

Johannes Pieter Pronk Politician, Diplomat, Academic
Reconciliation keeps a nation together

The heat did not seem to bother Johannes 'Jan' Pronk, 75, even though it has been 13 years since he last visited Indonesia. Perhaps it was a residue from the past, when he frequently travelled to Indonesia in his capacity as the Netherland's foreign minister and the UN's special envoy, and when he got acclimatized to the tropical, humid heat.

The bespectacled Pronk fits the description of a professor, rather than a politician and a diplomat of his yesteryears, given his current job as visiting professor at the United Nations University of Peace in Costa Rica and a lecturer at Amsterdam University College in the Netherlands.

Andrinof Chaniago National Development Planning Minister
The President trusts Bappenas

Although it had been formalized last January, the National Mid-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2015-2019, a product of the National Planning and Development Board (Bappenas), still came under the public spotlight. The exclusion of a number of visions and missions of President Joko Widodo and Vice-President Jusuf Kalla during the election campaign came under sharp criticism.

But Bappenas Minister Andrinof Chaniago played down the criticism. He said the development plan was based on the government's work program for the next five years. "Those criticisms are just political maneuvers," Andrinof told Tempo reporter Firman Hidayat last week.

Daniel Kaufmann, President, Natural Resource Governance Institute:
Good Governance Means The Rule Of Law Not The Rule Of Man Prevails

Measuring the social and economic development of a country has been done countless times, by means of various accepted formulas. But only in the last decade has the understanding of good governance as the key to effective development been seriously and intensively studied and researched. Based on 40 data sources, and produced by 30 organizations worldwide, since 2002, the Worldwide Governance Indicators have been applied to 200 countries to measure the country's level of governance. This has provided watchdog groups with the necessary tools to monitor policy and initiate reforms, which also helps to immeasurably assess perceptions of corruption among businesses, public officials and politicians. Much of the work can be attributed to Dr. Daniel Kaufmann when the studies were initially conducted at the World Bank Institute, where he worked. For the past two years, Kaufmann has headed the Natural Resources Governance Institute (NRGI), which pioneered the Resource Governance Index to measure the transparency levels of countries in managing their extractive industry. Kaufmann was in Indonesia recently to meet with public figures in government, the business community and members of the local civil society, and to be the keynote speaker at a panel discussion on 'The Impact of Low Oil Prices on Indonesia's Reform Agenda' which was co-organized by the NRGI and Tempo English magazine. He was recently interviewed by journalists Hermien Y Kleden, Sadika Hamid, Gusthida Budiartie dan Edward Stephens from the Tempo Media Group. Excerpts:

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.

Cannes Controversies

The Cannes Film Festival is always full of surprises. And this was also true of the festival this year, held last May 11-22. Full of sensations and polemics. A well-known director was kicked out because he claimed to be an admirer of Hitler. There was a mysterious director, missing when he was called to receive the best film award, and a film the tempo of which was very slow, but was chosen as a winner.

Cannes also affirmed itself as a festival astute in reading the newest developments of a country. This time Cannes specially invited filmmakers from Egypt and Tunisia, countries which have just successfully overthrown dictators. The hot issues of the 64th Cannes Festival, including interviews, are covered by Ging Ginanjar, Tempo contributor in Europe.

Frustrated by Jakarta City Planning

The period for the Jakarta Regional Spatial Master Plan for 2000-2010 will soon be coming to an end. However, until now, mid-2009, the Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) has not yet received the 2010-2030 master plan from the Jakarta regional government as required by Law No. 26/2007 on City Planning. Despite the fact that according to the plan prepared by the Jakarta City Planning Agency, the master plan which covers Jakarta city planning for the next 20 years should already be under discussion by the DPRD. This means that the time accorded has already been exceeded leaving Jakarta in the precarious position of not having a new city plan in place before the period for the old master plan comes to an end.

The Governor of Jakarta, Fauzi Bowo, as well as an array of high-ranking regional officials in charge of city planning, say they are in the middle of finishing the master plan. “At present we have finished the zoning map which we have been trying to prepare at the same time as we have been preparing development plans,” said the head of the Jakarta City Planning Agency, Wiryatmoko.

According to head of the Jakarta City Development Planning Agency, Nurfakih Wiriawan, the contents of the 2010-2030 master plan still need to be explained to many parties. “We sincerely hope that the bill for the regional regulations for this can be finished this year. After that it can be discussed in the regional parliament,” he said.
