Standardizing Khatib at Friday Prayers

THE government has proposed standardizing Friday prayer khatib (preachers or persons delivering sermons) to the House of Representatives (DPR). The proposal, said Minister for Religious Affairs Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, is based on reports about certain preachers who might pose a threat to the unity of the muslim community. "We could use the most moderate standards," said the minister.

Lukman said Friday sermons would be used to discredit people, undermining the sermon's essential function to provide religious counsel. "This can potentially create disunity, especially in the midst of Indonesia's diversity," he said.

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.

Haedar Nashir, Muhammadiyah Executive Board Chairman :
Getting rid of terrorism should not lead to new cases of terrorism

The attention given to the police, in particular Counterterrorism Detachment 88 (Densus 88), over for the questionable death of Siyono, cannot be disassociated from the role of the Muhammadiyah. This religious organization founded by K.H. Ahmad Dahlan has been the driving force advocating justice for Siyono's family. But this has led to charges that Muhammadiyah is pro-terrorism.

Haedar Nashir, 58, chairman of Muhammadiyah's executive board, stated that support for Siyono's family was purely in the interest of humanity. "In addition to looking after humanitarian values, we also have an interest in seeing that the law is enforced," said Haedar.

Melati Suryodarmo
From Butter to Charcoal

Do you remember the first time when Melati Suryodarmo appeared in the Indonesian art world after having lived for some time in Germany? That was back in 2005. At the Goethe-Institut in Jakarta, she presented a work entitled Exergie-Butter. On the wooden stage at the Goethe-Institut was a large pat of butter.

Melati calmly walked onto the stage, her stocky body covered with a tightly fitting black body stocking. She had bright red high-heel shoes on. She then walked onto that spot of slippery butter, immediately slipping and falling. She tried to stand back up, but slipped and fell right back down. She seemingly 'danced' on those sticks of butter. After every slip, slide and fall, she would stand back up.

Anies Baswedan, Minister of Culture, Elementary and Secondary Education
Don't ever undermine the value of teachers by monetizing their profession

ON the first day that Anies Baswedan began his job as minister for culture and elementary and secondary education a year ago, he knew there would be piles of work ahead of him. Among the many issues that needed to be sorted out was the scarcity of teachers in Indonesia's remote areas. Yet, statistically, there should have been enough teachers to go around. The student-teacher ratio is around 16 to 1. "That's an excess, while in South Korea, the ratio is 30 to 1. Ideally it should be 25 to 1," said Anies, admitting that the problem in Indonesia was one of unequal distribution. In some places such as Papua, the ratio dropped significantly to 75 students for every teacher. So, in May this year, the education ministry initiated the Guru Garis Depan (Frontline Teachers ) program to address the shortage of teachers in the outer parts of the country. So far, 798 teachers have been sent out to teach at 28 regencies. Next year, the number is expected to increase to 3,500. Anies discussed the Frontline Teachers initiative with Tempo English reporters Sadika Hamid, Syari Fani and Amanda Siddharta. Excerpts:

Sidartawan Soegondo Director, Indonesian Diabetes Institute:
The Prevalence Rate Keeps Growing In Indonesia

AS an endocrinologist, Sidartawan Soegono, 71, has been dealing with diabetes for more than 20 years. Decades ago, the disease was often associated with the rich because of the common impression of it being linked to unhealthy diets and lifestyle. But today, even the poor are susceptible to diabetes. "There are many people in villages who also suffer from the disease. In 2007, the prevalence rate in North Maluku was more than 11 percent, as well as in West Kalimantan, larger than in Jakarta. So it can happen to anyone," said Sidartawan.

Widodo Standardization And Consumer Protection Director, Trade Ministry:
Once An Item Enters Indonesia, It's Difficult To Eliminate It

Imported used clothing has fast begun flooding the markets around the country. It is not only sold in stores, these second-hand goods are now available in malls, and even offered online. Although it is banned with the reason that it could impact the local textile industries and that it is 'undignified' for our consumers, the government admits it is having a difficult time restricting the sales of imported second-hand clothes. "We need a tougher law," said Widodo, who is director-general of standardization and consumer protection with the trade ministry at his office, last week.

Chef Ari Munandar :
Tempe Goes International

To include tempe (fermented soy bean cake) in the menu of renowned European restaurants was a challenge for Ari Munandar, the executive chef of the restaurants at the Hilton Prague Old Town, a five-star hotel in the capital city of the Czech Republic.

Tempe is not new in what used to be a part of Czechoslovakia. Usually it is part of the vegan menu, well known only among the vegetarians. "Tempe is not in the daily menu of normal restaurants," Ari wrote to Tempo by email last week.

Sri Roso Sudarmo, Former Regent of Bantul:
I never contacted Kuncung

SRI Roso Sudarmo seemed to be really enjoying his retirement when Tempo visited him at his home one late afternoon last August. He was watering the lawn and the plants in front of his house in Sleman, a suburb of Yogyakarta. Clad in a T-shirt over a sarong, the 67-year-old former bureaucrat and army man, stood close to his Honda car, parked in front of the garage. His property, as big as a volley-ball court, was shaded by trees, giving an impression of coolness and serenity. "I know why Tempo has come all this way, it must be in the pursuit of news," said the former army colonel, greeting Tempo effusively.

For more than a decade, Sri Roso refused to be interviewed by the media regarding Udin, the journalist who was assassinated some years ago in Yogyakarta. Just prior to the interview, he even asked that we seek information from other sources. He relented only after he was convinced that his version of events was required to ensure a balanced report. "Let's not make it too long then, I must finish up watering the plants," he said. He then excused himself to change into a pair of trousers and shirt, combing his hair to look more presentable.

Comr. Gen. Anang Iskandar, Head of the National Narcotics Agency:
The border with Malaysia is a red zone

INDONESIA remains a target of syndicated drug dealers. According to the chairman of the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), Police Comr. Gen. Anang Iskandar, out of 60 entry points throughout Indonesia, only six are manned by well-equipped officials. Kalimantan's border areas are part of those vulnerable and under-guarded frontiers. "That's a red zone," said Anang, in an interview with Tempo last week.

Why is Indonesia such a target of international narcotics syndicates?

Iskandar

Revolution always rages before curfews. With fervor. Once the revolution is over, the raging stops. The fight, even the violence, has borne fruit; it is over, and now an order and sovereignty is established: a cold construction with straight lines.

I am reminded of the film Lewat Jam Malam (Past Curfew) for which Asrul Sani wrote the scenario. It was produced just a few years after Indonesia's fight for independence. In it, an ex-guerilla fighter named Iskandar feels alienated when he returns to normal life after the struggle is over and the Republic has started to work as a government.

Bambang Hendarso Danuri: We have not closed the book on Lapindo

AS he promised to do when he was sworn in as National Police Chief five months ago, Police General Bambang Hendarso Danuri continues to restructure his personnel. Problems of illegal logging, gambling, illegal fishing, narcotics and disruptive activities have been his top priority.

He is not just targeting the low-level officers; everyone seems to be given his ‘once-over’ assessment. “It is all to build public trust,” he explained. In line with the Police Force’s strategic plan, raising the people’s trust must be accelerated so the target of a 2010 completion date can be achieved.

Sriwedari Exits Stage Left

Members of the Sriwedari Javanese troupe are facing quiet nights, with only a dozen or so people arriving each night to watch their performance. Solo-based Balekambang Ketoprak group, which performs historical Javanese drama, is in a similarly miserable condition. To cover living expenses, its members are forced to take side jobs. Some even become pedicab drivers. A breakthrough is needed to bring back the glory of traditional arts. Quite a challenge, given the heavy burden of daily life that can get the better of the creativity and energy of these groups.
