BRIN Needs Political Support

After three years at the helm of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Laksana Tri Handoko is entrusted with a new job: to lead the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN). The Japan-educated scientist is given a mandate by President Joko Widodo to integrate five major national research institutes. He is tasked to catch up lags in science and technology, to create technological independence and to focus on exploring the digital economy as well as green and blue economy. He would also continue his efforts which he initiated in LIPI to bring back a diaspora of Indonesian researchers to strengthen BRIN. Handoko said BRIN also needed political support to realize research as one of the main pillars of the national economy.

After he was reported to the police by a number of groups, Rizieq Syihab vented out his disappointment to the House of Representatives (DPR). In a hearing with the Legal Affairs Commission last week, Rizieq suspected that the reports to the police were being intentionally arranged behind the scenes.

RINI M. SOEMARNO:
The principal idea was Pak Jokowi's

HAVING led an automative company during the political and economic turbulence of 1998 to 2000, Rini Mariani Soemarno, 56, is no stranger to crises. She reckons that particular experience will serve her well in her new job as chief of staff of the Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla Transition Team. Formed by the president-elect himself, the team is tasked with preparing everything, including the inauguration ceremony scheduled for October 20.

Yet Rini's appointment has raised suspicions and worries among certain groups, the main reason being the close relationship between this former trade and industry minister (2001-2004) with Megawati Soekarnoputri, chair of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P). It is no secret that during the recent presidential campaign, Jokowi was criticized as a 'puppet' of Megawati, part of the smear campaign against him.

TOURISM
No Ordinary Hotel

In April, singer Iis Dahlia made her second umrah (minor) pilgrimage to Mecca. "I did nothing but concentrate on observing ibadah (religious worship) duties, something I find difficult to do at home," Iis said. "The umrah is when you recharge your life's batteries."

Iis' focus on ibadah meant she generally refrained from posing for photos with her fellow pilgrims. "It was all right. I did join only when we came across an interesting site during the pilgrimage," she said. "Now there is a low-cost umrah package as the alternative to an ordinary tour."

Was RRI Neutral?

OF the 38 survey and quick count pollsters registered with the General Elections Commission (KPU) ahead of the recent presidential election, Radio Republic Indonesia Public Broadcast Board (LPP RRI) Research and Educational Development and Training Center is one that has come under intense scrutiny. RRI's quick count on the day of the election, July 9, showed that Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla had received 52.21 percent of the vote, while the ticket's only opponents, Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa, had taken 47.49 percent.

Ramadhan Pohan, deputy chairman of House of Representatives' (DPR) Commission I, which oversees defense, foreign affairs and communication, believes RRI should not broadcast quick count results. "RRI's funding is a source of suspicion because it comes from the State Budget (APBN)," he said.

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.

As the corporate head of a province-owned company supplying drinking water to Jakarta's millions of people, Sriwidayanto is in a big mess. He is constantly on the receiving end of public criticism over the poor quality of the service and the high cost of the water.

But Sriwidayanto remains unruffled.

"That agreement has been a mess since day one," he said openly.

PALESTINIAN AMBASSADOR TO INDONESIA FARIZ MEHDAWI:
We Want a Two-State Solution

The peace talks between Israel and Palestine became uncertain when violence escalated with the deaths of three Israelis and a Palestinian last week. Palestine's ambassador to Indonesia, Fariz Mehdawi, said his people were still waiting for a peace negotiation, and a two-state solution would have Israel and Palestine coexist peacefully as free countries. However, Mehdawi reminded that if the atrocities continued to occur, Palestinians would retaliate and the situation would spiral even further out of control. Tempo journalists Natalia Santi, Rosalina and Atmi Pertiwi interviewed Meh-dawi in his office in Jakarta on Monday last week.

HARRY TRUMAN SIMANJUNTAK ARCHEOLOGIST ON THE PREHISTORIC ERA
The oldest proof of our ancestry is at Kalumpang

The Kalumpang site in West Sulawesi has been around for the past six decades. In 1951, Dutch archeologist, Pieter Vincent van Stein-Callenfels first presented the results of his research at the East Asia Prehistoric Congress in Manila, the Philippines. He had been studying the banks of the Karama River since 1933.

Indonesian researchers only started work there in 1969. Since then, there was no intensive research for a few decades until 2004, when a team from the National Archeological Center went to Kalumpang to carry out a four-year research.

UDIN HASANUDIN AGRICULTURAL WASTE ENERGY EXPERT
Waste energy can reduce pollution by 90 percent

For more than 20 years, Udin Hasanudin, a lecturer at the Lampung Agricultural Products University, studied the process of converting waste into energy. When renewable energy was not yet popular, he had already invented a machine which could turn tapioca waste into biogas. "When I offered my findings to the tapioca center at Pesawaran, Lampung in 1993, they rejected it," said 50-year-old Udin. At that time, fuel oil was still cheap. "They didn't want the hassle," Udin said.

He resumed his research on tapioca in 2005, after getting his doctorate degree from Toyohasi University of Energy in Japan. This time, Udin received funding from the New Energy Industrial Organization (NEDO), an agency under the Japanese Trade and Industrial Energy Ministry. Udin collaborated with the Indonesian Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry on the project so the research could be applied in Indonesia. His findings are now being used at the tapioca processing at Pesawaran.

SUPREME AUDIT BOARD CHAIRMAN, RIZAL DJALIL:
The BPK is no angel

The Supreme Audit Board (BPK) is reported to have manipulated the audit opinion on its performance and financial report. The alleged opinion of 'trading' emerged prior to the selection of the new BPK chairman last April. Rizal Djalil was chosen to replace Hadi Poernomo who will retire following the end of his term on October.

Rizal denied he was involved in the illegal 'buying and selling' of audit opinions. He said the auditors under his jurisdiction were miserly in giving their 'unqualified (Wajar tanpa Pengecualian-WTP)' audit opinion. "Just look at other places," said Rizal, a former National Mandate Party (PAN) politician.

ARIE SUDJITO, RURAL DEVELOPMENT RESEARCHER:
There are attempts to usurp village authority

After seven years of deliberation, the House of Representatives (DPR) passed Law No. 6/2014 on Village Administration, in December last year. The regulations contained in it are seen as revolutionary, because it changed the paradigm of how people viewed a village. "All this time, villages have been under the authority of the regency or the province. This new law is intended to make villages the object (of development programs)," said Arie Sudjito, 42, lecturer of sociology at Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta. For four years, Arie coordinated the team advocating for the legislation.

The Village Law requires the central government to allocate 10 percent of the State Budget for village development. This translates into Rp900 million to Rp1.2 billion per village-channeled directly to the villages-giving local leaders access to resources with which to carry out innovative programs.

These people searched the every nook and corner of my house and took my husband to be questioned.

DREAMING BIG DURING DIFFICULT TIMES

SEVERAL top-row banks are planning to become regional players. Although in terms of market capitalization this is still very hard, so far three banks have taken up the challenge: BCA, BRI, and Bank Mandiri. However, this "dreaming big" still covers many other areas, including bureaucracy in countries that are expansion targets. In the domestic market, the top banks mentioned above are fighting head-to-head.

Mid-row banks are also now focusing more and more on core businesses after being acquired by foreign players. They are becoming even more enthusiastic about competing in the domestic market, which is still wide open. In addition to China, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, India is now becoming more aggressive.
