Prijono Sugiarto CEO, Astra Internasional
Leadership and a workable system are the key to success

Two low-cost green cars (LCGC), the Toyota Calya and the Daihatsu Sigra, exhibited at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show last August at BSD City, South Tangerang, Banten, were the center of visitors' attention. At that event, 12,000 units of both types were sold. Astra Internasional CEO Prijono Sugiarto, 56, said the public had long been waiting for these two inexpensive and environmentally friendly automobiles. "The price, starting at Rp100 million, is affordable," he told Tempo.

In a report released last week, the Joint Indonesian Automotive Industry Association (Gaikindo) said by last August, the two 'sister' makes dominated total sales of 96,294 units in Indonesia. In the LCGC class, their market share was 33 percent.

The Regreening of Kalijodo

There is no strong argument to oppose the Jakarta city government's plan to restore Kalijodo as a green zone. For decades, people have illegally occupied the area along the Angke river and the eastern flood canal in North Jakarta.

With all the road and building construction currently going on in the capital city, much of it affecting water catchments, any effort to create more green areas should be supported. The plan would achieve two objectives: Transform the location in question into a natural green habitat and, at the same time, cleanse the area of centuries-old dens of prostitution, gambling and bootlegging.

Closing Time at Kalijodo

A young woman stood up after a waitress gave her the code. Lena, as we will call her, approached Tempo, who had visited Wisma Adem in Kalijodo, North Jakarta, two weeks ago. She left the corner of the caf, which looked more like a showroom, where Lena and nine other women sat and waited for guests to arrive. "Come, let's go downstairs," she said.

After going down a flight of stairs, the 22-year-old woman from Wonosobo, Central Java, walked to a 6-square-meter room. There were 10 other such rooms on the lower floor. The area was quiet, much different from the noisy caf. There was a mattress and two Sutra condoms in the room. Next to the bed were a sink, a faucet and a small bucket of water. The room felt hot even though a fan was running.

The Bali Bombs Gave Him No Joy

Many people know who Ali Imron is. He got his battle and bomb-making training in Afghanistan from 1991 to 1996, and was one of the bombers of Paddy's Pub, Sari Club, and the United States Consulate in Denpasar on October 12, 2002. A total of 202 people died, and 209 more were injured as a result of the bombs detonated at those two famous clubs in Bali--the largest amount of casualties for a single terrorist attack in Indonesia.

Bali's 'Newspaperman'

Leonard Lueras has spent more than half his lifetime traveling across this "incredibly rich and great archipelago," as he described Indonesia, and publishing books about it.

"I'm one of the [few foreign] journalists or writers who actually live here," the 71-year-old American veteran journalist told Tempo English. He has lived in Bali for over 40 years.

Tempo English spent an afternoon chatting with Lueras in his uniquely designed and beautifully curated two-storey home at a villa compound in Sanur, Bali.

Bali Mushrooms Go to Italy

Stacks of planting medium called baglogs were neatly placed in a 150-meter square area, surrounded by walls made of woven bamboo. There were 6,000 baglogs in the room, each of them filled with white oyster mushrooms.

Ni Wayan Purnami Rusadi, 25, checked each growing medium, carefully picked mushrooms that were big enough, and put the harvested products in a basket. "These are all ready to be sold," she told Tempo English at her home in the Peguyangan Kaja village near Denpasar, Bali, two weeks ago.

When Tempo called Balinale's hotline to inquire about the festival, it was Gabinetti who answered the call. "This is Deborah. The director of the festival. Yes, I'm picking up calls," she said, laughing heartily, when asked who was on the other end of the line.

The Bali Scam Sweepstakes

All was quiet at the Royal Bali Beach Club Hotel, Sanur, Bali, on Thursday two weeks ago. Just four foreign visitors could be seen sunbathing by the pool. Even so, according to the receptionist, all 32 rooms were occupied. "Only Royal Bali members can stay here," said the woman. But that turned out to be a false statement, as even non-Royal Bali members could be squeezed in.

Today, 12 expatriates are suing Permata Bahari, a hotel marketing company, and Royal Karma Development, the building owner. They are demanding that the two companies pay some US$76,000 in compensation plus Rp10 billion. "As long as they've been members, they've never been able to enjoy their rights," said Sylvia Maladi, the plaintiffs' attorney, last week.

The Story of Balinese Wine

Browsing the wine shelves of Bali reveals local brands as well as imports at fantastic prices. Hatten and Sababay Winery are the most common Indonesian varieties, found in beverage shops, hotels and restaurants, including Ngurah Rai Airport in Denpasar, Bali's provincial capital. "They're usually bought as souvenirs," an assistant at Puri Garden Wine Shop said. They are also available at Bebek Bengil Restaurant in Ubud and Vin+ in Seminyak.

Local wines are emerging in Bali. The pioneer was Hatten Wines, founded by Ida Bagus Rai Budarsa in 1992 but only effectively engaged in market distribution in 1994. After graduating with from Brawijaya University in Malang, East Java, in 1990, Rai was asked by his father to continue the family business of Dewi Sri Bali brem, a drink made from fermented rice. "It's the responsibility of the oldest son," Rai said. The company, set up in 1968, could produce 5,000 liters of brem per month.

Reviving Bali's Dancing Birds

Two jalak bali birds (starlingLeucopsar rothschildi) were perched on a cashew tree in a garden in Ped village, Nusa Penida, Bali. Though just 15 centimeters tall, the birds could be clearly seen in the dense foliage. Their clean white feathers contrasted with the green leaves. Black strips adorned their wings and tails. Their blue eyes seemed like those of a mask. "The jalak bali birds are hunted for their beautiful feathers. They can fetch Rp50 million a bird," said Sudariyanto, a researcher at Gajah Mada University.

After vanishing in 2004, the jalak bali has returned to Nusa Penida, a 200-square-kilometer island southeast of Bali. Finding them can be difficult, the way they hide among the trees, but in Ped the birds are known to frequent Puseh Temple. The temple stands on a hill from which one can see half of Nusa Penida. Jero Mangku Sujana, who lives 100 meters from the temple, said he can spot the jalak at the temple from 5am to 9am.

The Biogas Cowboy from Bali

Pigs' squeals pierced the air at I Wayan Darmawan's ranch. About 80 of the animals were lined up in wooden pens at his place in Kampung Pengotan, Bangli regency, Bali. At first glance, the pens looked different from others in the area. A large cement dome was protruding from the ground near it. The object was a digester, a device that produces gas from animal waste. It has been up and running for eight months. "I use this gas to cook and heat water," he said.

In the past, Darmawan would buy seven three-kilogram tanks of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) at a time for the kitchen of his seven-member family. He paid Rp16,000 per tank. In addition saving him money on gas, the digester also provides him with organic liquid, which he uses on his orange grove. "My monthly costs have gone way down," he told Tempo.

Balinese Youth and Classical Arts Revival

Bali is known for its deep commitment to the arts. Yet, a number of classical works in the nation's only majority Hindu population face extinction, outnumbered by instant commercial art in the interest of profits. A number of concerned cultural experts are now trying to conserve these classical art traditions, and pass on their talent and experience.

The Last of the Rampasasa Pygmy

It was already late at night when Tempo arrived at Martinus's residence in Flores Island community of Rampasasa. Under the dim light of a solar-powered LED lamp, Petrus Antas, a tua tenoa Manggarai vernacular for a customary leaderexplained the poor living conditions of the indigenous Rampasasa pygmies. He sat surrounded by hamlet residents.

Having no ID cards, the residents do not have access to government aid programs like the People's Health Guarantee, or People's Temporary Direct Aid (BLSM). The hamlet is not reachable by public vehicles. The state electricity company PLN has promised to link the community to the electricity grid by 2014 but a year later, "nothing has happened," said Martinus as he pulled down the lamp cord to make the light brighter. But due to the many hours of cloudy skies the February day that Tempo visited, little solar energy was stored, and therefore the lamps dimmed again. Antas is the father of Rampasasa hamlet head, Martinus.

Hygiene and Good Health

October 15 is International Hand-Washing Day, an event that is commemorated in Indonesia, particularly where the government is implementing sanitation projects. Around 70 million Indonesians reportedly still excrete their bodily waste not in the proper places, shamefully coming in third in the list of countries with such unhygienic habits, after China and India. Such a condition can lead to diarrhea, acute respiratory diseases and malaria. The government has set 2014 as the time when such unhygienic habits are eradicated in Indonesia. In some of the regions, local governments collaborating with NGOs have come up with creative projects to eradicate this unhygienic habit. Tempo English Edition looks at some of these projects in areas of Papua, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi, and Nias.
