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.

Intensifying its online campaign, the women activists seek support from influential mass organizations, some of whom are still at odds with the activists.

Pangolin Supply Chain to China

The Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica) is popular in China. Its meat and scales are used in traditional and psychotropic medicines. In 2007, the Chinese government legalized the use of its scales for medicinal purposes at clinics, based on hospital approval. Since then, 26.6 tons of pangolin scales have legally entered China from a number of countries. A report from Traffic.org, a non-profit organization focused on wildlife trade, mentioned that the total amount of illegal scales—originating from countries where the animal is protected—reached 34.9 tons from 2007-2016, with the most coming from Indonesia.

(No)Support from the Universe

YOHANES Surya has frequently credited mestakung, or support from the universe, as the secret to his success in producing many world champions in the Physics Olympics. Mestakung, as a simple 'physics' concept, is when all particles surrounding an object in a critical state work simultaneously to help said object reach its ideal point. After the idea was proposed in a book, the concept was popularized in a film released in October 2011 starring Revalina S. Temat and Lukman Sardi.

Only Clean Candidates Need Apply

A decision by the Board of Commissioners of the Selection Committee for the Financial Services Authority (OJK) to strike off the names of several lawmakers from its list of candidates for banking supervision, must be strongly supported. Its Board of Commissioners must not be made up of political party members. As the institution overseeing all financial business activities, it must be completely sterile from any other conflicting interests. In the committee's initial selection, the names of Golkar Party politician Marcus Melchias Mekeng and that of Indonesian Democratic Party of Stuggle (PDI-P) parliamentarian, Edy Andreas Susetyo, were both missing from the list.

'Insider' Support for Team 13

For 14 straight hours each day, the social media team of candidates Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Uno keep tabs on Internet developments. Working in two shifts, this 13-member team manages the social media accounts of the Anies-Sandiaga ticket from 9am to 11pm. Their headquarters is located at the office of Indonesia Mengajar (Non-governmental organization Teaching Indonesia) in South Jakarta. "There are more personnel at night because that is the prime time," said Raditya Pratama, coordinator of this social media team, in an interview last week. "Six during the day and seven at night."

According to Raditya, the job of his Team 13 is to publicize the 23 working programs of the Anies-Sandiaga platform on their Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube accounts, and on the official website of the candidates, who are supported by the Gerindra and the Justice and Prosperity (PKS), political parties. These accounts have been registered with the General Election Commission (KPU) of Jakarta. Raditya is in charge of five people who manage Sandiaga's personal internet accounts. They are focused there because since January, they have worked closely with Sandiaga, who at that time had planned to run for governor himself. Raditya is the only one from Gerindra Party. "The rest are from outside. They are social media experts," he said.

Hassle-Free Financial Apps

RAFI Putra Arriyan was relieved when Bank Indonesia gave the green light for him to operate Flip-a-Finance, an application he developed. The payment systems regulator had granted him permission to do fund remittances (KUPU). "Flip resumed normal operations since October 12," Arri told Tempo last week.

Even with a license in hand, Arri said he must still comply with a few more requirements, among others, the know-your-customer (KYC) procedure, where a face-to-face verification must be done with users to increase online security. "We're trying to design the best system possible," said Arri.

App-Based Auto Loans

Today, applying for a car or motorcycle loan can be like playing a game on a cellular phone. Finance companies offer various apps on Google Play Store. After downloading an application, prospective customers can view a catalog and compare products and credit terms, and set installment payment options. A loan agreement is possibly just a final click away.

One frequently downloaded app is MTF Mobile from Mandiri Tunas Finance. According to the company's CEO, Ignatius Susatyo Wijoyo, each month MTF Mobile is used by 1,000 customers. As a result, Mandiri Tunas is able to extend Rp150 billion of financing per month. "This is one way to safeguard growth when markets are down," said Susatyo, interviewed at his office, two weeks ago.

Half-Hearted Support for Small Businesses

The revocation of some regional regulations by the home affairs ministry came as a boon as well as a source of regret for Tatang Yusuf, who owns a traditional herbal medicine factory. On one hand, the repeal of those regulations makes it easier for him to apply for licenses at Cilacap, Central Java, where Tatang's factory operates. He is happy because it is now easier for herbal medicine producers at the Gentasari Village Jamu Aneka Sari Cooperative to obtain the environmental authorization, a condition for obtaining a production license.

Before the three regional regulations of the Cilacap Regency were repealed, applying to start a factory meant having to pass the environmental management and monitoring (UKL-UPL) license, which costs Rp18-25 million. Tatang had to pay that amount when he applied for a production license for Bumi Wijaya, his herbal medicine factory at Gentasari Village, last year.

Can Hostage-Taking be Stopped?

Like threading a needle, the government must act cautiously when it attempts to release the seven Indonesians now held hostage in the southern Philippines. It must to use all its powers to rescue the hostages held captive by Abu Sayyaf, a splinter group of the Moro National Liberation Front, the separatists who have already struck a truce with the Philippine government. Clever negotiations are also required to secure the hostages release without paying any ransom.

Negotiations need to be carried out with the Philippine government, which continues to aggressively pursue Abu Sayyaf. Negotiations are important because the Philippines still objects to any Indonesian military intervention. It rejects any Indonesian military action on the grounds that the hostages were seized on its waters and not on Indonesian territory.

In the Philippines, Duterte's Democracy

Rodrigo Duterte-the Philippines' president-elect-has quickly gained a nickname, following his win on May 10, as the 'Trump of the East'. The media have been busy pointing out similarities between Duterte and Donald Trump, the US presidential candidate from the Republican Party.

They both have big mouths, use tough language and are not reluctant to use verbal blows, or even bullets if necessary, in the interest of power. In short, this new leader is far removed from the polite and elegant presidential model, and he is not from one of the the country's political aristocracies. So the Philippines, where 40 percent of people live below the poverty line-one of the highest in Asia-seems to have been missing a champion able to rapidly smash corruption, strike out at criminals without mercy, trigger economic growth down to those at the bottom and guarantee the Philippines' sovereignty at its borders.

The Tax Amnesty Law Needs Support

The House of Representatives (DPR) has finally included the Tax Amnesty Law draft into its priority list, effectively bringing to life the Joko Widodo government's dream of curbing the surging budget deficits.

The government's efforts to manage the overstretched the State Budget, which usually occurs when the state misses its tax targets, must clearly be supported. It needs sufficient budget to implement programs, especially those with subsidies to the grass roots, but we should not put high hopes in the Tax Amnesty Law to open the floodgates to vast amount of funds stashed away overseas by our tycoons. That would be a misplaced hope.
