Malaysia
Najib Cleared Of US$681 Million Bribery Allegations

Malaysian Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali has declared there was no sufficient evidence to indict Prime Minister Najib Razak over allegations of receiving illicit money worth US$681 million. He said the funds in Najib's personal account were donations from the Saudi royal family and that some of them had already been paid back.

Last Tuesday, as a result, Malaysia's Kedah State Chief Minister Mukhriz Mahathir tendered his resignation. The son of former Premier Mahathir Mohamad said he was aware of waning public support after falling out with the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) leader.

Exposing the 1965 Events

The International People's Tribunal 1965 a hearing last week on crimes against humanity in Indonesia following the 1965 political upheaval held in the Dutch capital of The Hague, impacted three distinct groups. The first are the condemned and the vilified, senior military officers and government officials, and even a few historians clinging to tired old slogans about 'latent dangers of communism'.

The second group are those who regard the tribunal as little more than a game, not worth their time. The third group are people who believe that the tribunal is an effort to record the facts, which in turn would lead to pressure aimed at a United Nations resolution.

Will 2016 be Better?

It is only a month before the closing of company books for 2015. In retrospect, it has been quite a dismal year. In January, there were high expectations, being the start of President Jokowi's first year in office. But by the year-end, the results were disappointingly far below expectations. This year's economic growth is expected to reach only 4.8-5.0 percent, in contrast to the 6.0 percent target set by the new administration. The Rupiah and the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI), which began the year, respectively at Rp12,500 per US$ and 5,200 points, dropped considerably, settling at Rp13,600 per US$ and 4,500 points by year-end. With sluggish economic growth, businesses have been forced to adjust downward this year's revenue targets. Along with the decline in sales, companies have been busy cutting costs, which at times hurt employment. Unfortunately, the cost cuts are rarely able to match the drop in revenue. As a result, profits have narrowed across the board.

The follow-up question is whether our economy has reached its lowest point and that by next year it should start to recover? In various economic seminars towards year-end, numerous experts are facing difficulty in assessing next year's outlook. Even the optimistic scenario predicts this year's sluggishness will extend till the first half of the year and the recovery to take place only after mid-year. The problem, they argue, is that the level of volatility or uncertainty remains high.

Re-Greening Jakarta

ENVIRONMENTAL experts say that Jakarta is committing ecological suicide. The air quality in Indonesia’s capital city has become so bad that in 2006 the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that Jakarta had become the third most-polluted city in the world after Mexico City and Bangkok. In one year of living in Jakarta we only enjoy clean air for 22 days, 223 days of medium-quality air, 95 days breathing unhealthy air and four days of extremely unhealthy air. Around 80 percent of Jakarta’s air pollution is caused by vehicle exhaust emissions and 20 percent from industry.

During the massive floods last February, around 69 percent of the city was inundated. During a similar disaster in 2002, “only” around 25 percent was submerged. And during the dry season Jakarta runs short of water. It turns out that the ground level is sinking by 2-8 centimeters per year. According to the Indonesian Forum for the Environment (Walhi), seawater intrusion has already reached as far as the National Monument in Central Jakarta.

The largest cause for the slump in the quality of Jakarta’s environment is the increasing decline of open green space. As we know, open green space not only functions as the city’s lungs, but also as a buffer against all of the effects of environmental damage. This is truly regrettable because Jakarta once had a city administration plan that was very pro-environment, the 1965-1985 Jakarta Master Plan, which was also the city’s first master plan. Included in the design was the concept of a greenbelt which would be a part of open green space covering 37.2 percent of the city’s land area. Only around 10 percent of this open green space now remains.

In order to add some spice to the start of Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo’s term in office, in this issue Tempo is featuring a report on Jakarta’s city administration and green open spaces. We want to illustrate just how much Jakarta’s environment has changed—and for the negative. Some believe it is the time to halt this decline. One example is what is being done by residents such as Chaerudin at the Pesanggrahan River and Abdul Khodir in Condet (see Safeguarding Our Grandchildren’s Future). They are now enjoying a small slice of a greener Jakarta.

Vietnam, the ‘Writhing Little Dragon’

FRESH air was blowing in Vietnam, 1986. The country, torn by protracted war, decided to launch doi moi—perestroika Vietnam-style. Various doors, closed since the war, have now been opened with ‘lubricants’ added: deregulation, land reform, and a revived business climate. This step is expected to go a long way in changing the face of Vietnam. Is it true that doi moi has become an effective formula to change Vietnam, which is dubbed Asia’s ‘little dragon’? Here is a travel report from Tempo’s Mardiyah Chamim, who visited Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, last month.

The Thoughts of a ‘Freelance Monotheist’

Karen Armstrong wrote The History Of God. She became more famous with the books Battle For God and Muhammad: A Biography Of The Prophet, which sold out all over the world. Today, this former nun has become a leading scholar on religions and God. She is known as a scholar who sympathizes deeply with Islam and is eloquent in her examination of religious fundamentalism. What is the essence of Armstrong’s thoughts? How does she view atheism? Although she’s an expert on Judaism, Islam, Catholicism and Buddhism, she often refers to herself as a ‘freelance monotheist’, meaning that she believes in God but does not practice any religion. Is this true? Read TEMPO’s exclusive interview with Karen Armstrong.

Aiko Kurasawa:
I'm The Target Of Japanese Rightwingers' Threats

To some conservative Japanese reactionaries, writer Aiko Kurasawa is unpatriotic because she wrote a book on the cruelty of the Japanese military in Javanese villages. She has been branded by some as a communist. Kurasawa's interest in Indonesia began a long time ago, when she first read about Sukarno, whom she regards as a hero of the Asia-African movement. Not surprisingly, when the 1965 events exploded, she was devastated upon reading about the resulting fall of Sukarno. "I was shocked," said Kurasawa, who was recently interviewed at her home in south Jakarta.

Mighty Majapahit

Regarded as the Golden Age of Indonesian history, the vast maritime empire of Majapahit reached its apogee in the 14th century. Though it thrived for only 300 years (late 13th century to early 16th century), Majapahit was Indonesia's greatest state, the last in a long line of Buddhist and Hindu Javanese kingdoms. Islam had ostensibly erased Indian cultural traditions by the 16th century, yet Buddhist-Hindu traces can still be seen in the rituals and architecture of the kraton courts of Bali and central Java, and innumerable motifs and styles of the earlier cultures are found everywhere in Indonesian art.

Gustav F. Papanek, Economist:
"The only way to help the poor is to provide jobs"

For the second time this year, and against his doctor's advice, senior economist Gustav F. Papanek from Boston University returned to Indonesia. With a new government in place, this 87-year-old former advisor to the 'Berkeley Mafia'influential economists of the New Order erafelt the need to address a very urgent problem: The declining income of the poor, which as he noted "is immoral and also politically undesirable; therefore, it is important to take substantial steps to increase their income. The only way you can do that is by providing industrial jobs."

Although he was unable to meet President Joko Widodo, he managed to meet Sofyan Djalil, Economic Coordinating Minister; General Moeldoko, Armed Forces Chief; and ChatibBasri, former Finance Minister, and gave talks in three universities and Bank Mandiri as well as numerous interviews with the media. In a packed schedule, averaging two presentations a day, he found ways to push his ideas.

False Hopes from Harapan Baru

Lured by bombastic ads on local and national television, thousands of cancer patients have become victims of the Harapan Baru traditional Chinese clinics, particularly its branch in Medan, North Sumatra. Harapan Baru guarantees cures with its herbal treatment while infusing patients intravenously with chemotherapy, an illegal procedure given that the traditional healers are not licensed to practice modern medicine. Steroids about 200 times the strength of morphine are another 'magical' cure. This medical and ethical violation has been going on for years, yet the regulatory seem to turn a blind eye.

The Plunder of Ketapang

For years, a timber mafia worked in unison to plunder the forests of Ketapang, West Kalimantan. They consist of dealers, loggers, members of the Forestry Office, police officers, officials of the Forestry Department and authorities from the local regency government. The Joint Team of National Police Headquarters and the Forestry Department estimates that state losses amount to Rp32.4 trillion annually. This is equivalent to 26 times the 2008 regional budget for West Kalimantan province.

Three weeks ago, the Joint Team was able to dismantle the mafia’s timber network in Ketapang. Among those arrested were the head of the Ketapang Office of Forestry, the Chief of the Ketapang District Police, and a candidate for the office of regent. Tempo reports from Ketapang.
