Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, Religious Affairs Minister
We cannot afford to boycott the haj pilgrimage

For Religious Affairs Minister Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, this year's haj pilgrimage turned out to be an ordeal he had never bargained for: having to deal with two major tragedies in the Holy Land in a matter of weeks. One was the crash of a construction crane over the Haram Mosque and the other was the fatal stampede at Mina, when thousands of pilgrims rushed all at once toward the stone-throwing ritual. More than 100 Indonesians died as a result.

Lukman, a United Development Party (PPP) executive and head of the Indonesian haj pilgrims, along with the Haj Pilgrimage Organizing Committee (PPIH), had to bear responsibility for the two tragic incidents. In particular, he felt he needed to be directly involved in the process of seeking and identifying the Mina tragedy victims. It was a heavy burden to bear, given the constant public pressure for an explanation for the two incidents.

Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, Religious Affairs Minister:
This is not a de-Arabization process

AFTER his preoccupation with the controversy over the Javanese-intonation reading of the Qur'an, Religious Affairs Minister Lukman Hakim Saifuddin now must focus his attention on the Nusantara Islam issue. This involves the debate of a genre of Islam that is unique to Indonesia, one that is being unofficially supported by the government.

The rejection by hard-line Islamists has not dampened the government's plan to keep pushing for a Nusantara (archipelagic) Islam. "They got it wrong. Nusantara Islam is not an ideology," said Lukman, in a special interview with Tempo reporters Sugiharto and Sunudyantoro, last week.

Religious Affairs Minister Lukman Hakim Saifuddin :
Tolerance must be reciprocal

OWNERS of warung makan (small eateries) are hopeful they can remain open during the month of Ramadhan, because Religious Affairs Minister Lukman Hakim Saifuddin in his Twitter account recently tweeted that such establishments should not be forced to close shop just to honor those who fast. He stated that those who are not obliged to fast must also be respected.

Predictably, his statement caused a public uproar. Some tweeps saluted Lukman's view, but many others disagreed with his view. Equally predictable was the media, which refused to entirely support the stance of the United Development Party (PPP) politician. A mere tweet, Lukman wryly commented, twisted by some people, had led to a counter-productive debate.

Dirgantara’s Tribute to the Military

Dirgantara Indonesia allegedly paid Rp178.98 billion in kickbacks to generals and middle-grade officials in the defense ministry, Indonesian Military (TNI), and officials at other ministries. The money is taken from aircraft and helicopter procurement and maintenance projects, which were run by the state-owned aircraft manufacturer from 2008 to 2016. Dirgantara labels the money as ‘marketing fee’ using fictitious partners.

Budi Santoso, CEO Dirgantara Indonesia
The President can be the company's salesman

Aircraft manufacturer Dirgantara Indonesia has made known its disappointment at the government's plan to purchase an Agusta Westland AW101 helicopter, manufactured by British company Westland Helicopters jointly with Agusta from Italy. Ordered by the Indonesian Air Force, the plan became a hot topic public debate when it was reported that it was to become President Joko Widodo's mode of transportation when he goes on his blusukan, or unscheduled inspection trips, around the country.

Dirgantara regards the purchase to go against Law No. 16/2012 on the defense industry. The problem is that "something like that (the process) must involve the domestic industry," explained Dirgantara CEO Budi Santoso. Budi contends that his company is experienced in manufacturing Puma and Super Puma aircrafts. He feels the government would do better to order EC725 or Cougar aircrafts because they would be part of the Super Puma's development process, which is part of Dirgantara's program.

Rudiantara, Communications and Information Minister:
The rules of the game need to be established

The positive trend on digital economics has caught the attention of President Joko Widodo. This lucrative business has been expanding in the past few years and is expected to continue growing in line with the increasing numbers of Internet users with their smart-phones. The Indonesian E-Commerce Association (idEA) recorded at least US$12 billion worth of online commerce in 2014. This has led the President to urge Communications and Information Minister Rudiantara to prepare the necessary steps to ensure Indonesia can benefit from the rapid growth of online businesses.

Rudiantara himself is optimistic that digital transcations in Indonesia can reach US$137 billion or eight to nine percent of national gross domestic product (GDP) by 2020. "We must establish the rules of the game so Indonesia can benefit from it," he said. Rudiantara shared his views on this new economic phenomenon with Tempo reporters Akbar Tri Kurniawan and Ursula Florence at his residence in Jakarta last week. Excerpts:

Nusantara Islam in the Middle of Radicalization

Noor Huda Ismail

The Jokowi administration hopes Nusantara Islam (IN) will be the key to success in the state's de-radicalization efforts, which have often been labelled as a series of failures. De-radicalization efforts thus far have been considered ineffectual for two reasons. First, efforts were unable to eliminate the threat of terrorism since the first Bali bombing in 2002, and second, the program has not prevented hundreds of Indonesians from travelling to Syria and Iraq to fight with IS and An Nusro.

The Two Faces of Dipa Nusantara

FOR the past 42 years he has been remembered with feelings of hatred, yet with astonishment. Dipa Nusantara Aidit was only 31 years old when he led the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). He only needed a year or two to make the PKI one of the top four political parties in Indonesia. The PKI claimed 3.5 million supporters at that time, which would have made it the largest communist party in the world after the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China. Aidit dreamed of a revolution, envisioning a classless Indonesian society. However, he was undone by the cataclysmic events of 1965. After that, he became a myth. Just like the events of the September 30 Movement, known in Indonesia as the G30S, the stories about him are filled with myths and tales. Who was the real Aidit?
