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’?

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.

The Last Painting in Padaido

TWO hours into a pleasant voyage on the waters of the Padaido group of islands to the south of Biak in Papua, the situation became tense. That Saturday morning two weeks ago, photographer Tony Hartawan and I had just passed Pakreki island. The waters around this large unoccupied, rocky island covered in lush tropical forest, seemed to be a final test for us before arriving at our destination: Meosmangguandi island.

The sea, which had earlier been quite calm, suddenly became very rough. Suddenly, our boat, a 'johnson' perahu, as local fishermen call their traditional boats with attached engines, was hit by waves coming from all directions. Tony, who was sitting in the stern, several times glanced to the rear, a fixed smile on his face. I responded with no less a worried expression. "Meosmangguandi!" The shout from Melkias Rumkorem, a traditional Meosmangguandi elder, brought with it a new sense of calm. He pointed towards where the boat was heading, all while it was rising, falling and rolling from side to side over the waves.

It is early in the month of February. Some 40 guests have gathered, including village elders and West Sumatra Governor Irwan Prayitno. Guests sit on the floor, eating side-by-side. Prayers are recited for the safety and wellbeing of those who will inhabit the house. Family photos hang on the wall. Windows are left open to let sunlight in.

From the vantage of the dining area, the house's spacious interior is in clear view. Six jua (Cassia siamea) pillars grace the building's 17-meter-long sides. Jua, a type of ulin ironwood, is extremely durable: once dry, its impossible to cut it down to size.

The face on one of the terracotta piggybanks at the Majapahit Museum in Trowulan, East Java, has chubby cheeks and slanted eyes. The right and left eyebrows are connected, curving dramatically like a wave. The lips seem to smile faintly, expanding the already thick chin.

Sapardi thinks the real face of Gajah Mada was not as chubby as the terracotta figure's.
