KPK's red and Black Candidates

THE Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) found that several of the 20 leadership candidates have questionable track records. These individuals were then marked in red while those in the clear were marked in black. “The KPK has told the selection committee which candidates need to be considered. We have marked [them] in red and black,” said KPK Deputy Chief Saut Situmorang.

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.

After The Protests

VARIOUS photos and short videos taken during the riots on November 4 were shown at the presentation of the case in the conference room of Jakarta Police's directorate of general crimes last Tuesday afternoon. A police officer explained the initial situation when protesters began to gather at Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta. A group of people wearing Muslim Students Association (HMI) identifiers joined the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) ranks at 2:55pm.

The video then moved on to just before disturbances broke out. Around four in the afternoon, a group of people began burning tires and lengths of bamboo not far from the Presidential Palace. Half an hour later, a crowd wearing HMI identifiers began throwing things at security personnel. Disturbances continued with the burning of a bus transporting demonstrators and two police trucks. "Before dusk, the HMI crowd began attacking police lines outside Armed Forces guest house," said someone familiar with the case.

Stamping Out Independent Candidates

There have been many and varied efforts to make it difficult for independent candidates to stand in regional elections. This antidemocratic endeavor began with the House of Representatives' (DPR) government commission proposing an increase in the number of statements of support needed for nomination.

Subsequently, the General Elections Commission (KPU) came up with the idea to require a duty stamp (meterai) to be attached to each letter of support for independent candidates. This seemingly contrived requirement has been included in the draft revision to KPU Regulation No. 9/2015 on Nominations for Elections of Regional Heads. It is easy to imagine the inconvenience this will cause if it obliges the use of a duty stamp on individual statements of support or those collected at the subdistrict level.

Tun Daim Zainuddin Malaysian Elder Statesman and Patron of the Arts
Political art in Malaysia must be subtle

To many people, retirement means an easy life and relaxation. But to Malaysian elder statesman Tun Daim Zainuddin, freedom from government duties and politics means a chance to indulge in a longtime passionart. Yet, for this former Malaysian finance minister, it is not just about collecting paintings, sculptures and antique potteries. For the Tun (Malaysia's highest honorific bestowed on deserving citizens)as he is referred to by friends and associatesthe pleasure is in being able to share art with everyone. Hence the Ilham Art Gallery, containing exhibits that are open to the public for free, the first in Malaysia and perhaps even in the ASEAN region. It occupies three floors of the brand-new and imposing 60-floor Ilham building, which the Tun happens to own.

The 78-year-old Tun's unassuming and soft-spoken persona belies the power he once held and the influence he still retains. Trained as a lawyer and an urban planner, he rose high in his country's political and corporate world, specifically in property development and banking. He retired from public service in 2001, after having servedon two separate occasionsas Malaysia's finance minister. He was an elected parliamentarian representing Alor Star and was for years the treasurer of UMNO.

Stop the Conspiracy to Block Independent Candidates

POLITICAL parties apparently are more preoccupied with undermining independent candidates running for regional offices than creating a healthy democratic election process. Their intention is obvious when the House of Representatives' (DPR) domestic affairs commission sought to change the minimum requirements for such candidates, which it already planned through a revision of Law No. 8/2015 on Regional Executives Elections.

The constitutional court has actually just amended the regulations on the criteria for independent candidates, stipulating that to be legitimate contenders, they must gather 6.5 to 10 percent of the ID cards of their permanent constituents who voted in the previous elections, not the current population. Candidates for the upcoming Jakarta gubernatorial election, for example, must have the endorsement of at least 525,000 residents, or 7.5 percent of the 7 million strong constituents.

Judges' Advocates

Marking the draft law on the judiciary as a priority topic for deliberation at the House of Representatives (DPR) is a step forward. If the bill is passed, the status and honor of judges will be elevated although it should be noted that high status and position do not always guarantee honesty. Many corrupt judges serving time in prison are a testament to this fact.

This bill has been a long time coming. The National Police and Armed Forces, for example, already have their respective laws governing roles and functions in detail. It is the same for attorneys and prosecutors.

Harry Widianto, Director for the Conservation of Historical Sites and Museums
When the community is involved,conservation is more effective

Conservation is one of the best ways to keep history alive. Yet, many historical sites and ancient artifacts in Indonesia are badly preserved and neglected. Historical sites and museums conservation director at the education and culture ministry, Harry Widianto, claims that the government is doing its best to conserve these sites and artifacts. Among other things, it has restored, conserved and improved an inventory system. The government has also appointed experts to tend to historical buildings.

Last October, the government selected five of those sites and awarded them as the best conservation programs in an effort to raise the quality of conservation management. Even so, the government still has difficulty in monitoring and tending to all historical sites, which as of 2013 numbered some 66,513 and were tended to by only 2,988 conservationists. This is why, Harry said, the government is encouraging community members to be involved in conservation efforts in their respective locales. "If the effort comes from the community, it will be more effective and enduring," Harry told Tempo English reporter Isma Savitri in his office two weeks ago.

The Difficulty of Cutting Interest Rates

Pressure on Bank Indonesia (BI) to cut the rupiah interest rate and breathe some life into the lackluster economy is mounting. This is not just coming from businesses and consumers but also from the government, most notably from Economic Coordinating Minister Darmin Nasution and, more recently, Vice President Jusuf Kalla. Their request has some merit, with annualized October inflation declining to 6.25 percent and moving closer to BI's 4-5 percent year-end target. A lower interest rate, it is argued, would boost consumption and serve as an effective growth driver along with state spending.

But the central bank also carries the responsibility of maintaining a stable rupiah. Understandably, it worries about the currency weakening further should it cut rupiah interest rates. Thus, it must take into consideration the US Federal Reserve (the Fed)'s plan to raise the US interest rate before year's end. Most expect Bank Indonesia to cautiously wait and assess market reaction before deciding what to do with rupiah interest rates. Should the market remain calm with minimal foreign funds exiting and limited rupiah exchange rate volatility, then it could start lowering the interest rate. If funds rush out and hurt the rupiah significantly, depending on the extent of the volatility, it could maintain or even raise interest rates to prevent more funds from moving out.

Recovering without Lowering Interest Rates

Bank Indonesia is facing a dilemma on whether to lower its SBI benchmark interest rates from the current 7.5 percent level or not. Pressures to cut interest rates as a way to stimulate the sluggish economy has been mounting. But, with the weak rupiah facing a continuously strengthening US dollar, a relatively high inflation, an only slightly improving trade balance and anticipating higher US interest rates in the latter part of this year, it is not surprising that the central bankis keeping its SBI rate steady.

Indeed, a central bank's main task is to keep its currency stable. And to do this it needs to keep inflation in line with the growth of the economy which in Indonesia's case is targeted at a 4-5 percent level, and maintain the rupiah's fair value against other world currencies. The problem is that inflation is currently at 6.8 percent, and with the month of Ramadan just a few weeks ahead, this figure is expected to remain high. Unfortunately, high inflation lowers purchasing power, which lowers overall consumption and ultimately dampens economic growth. In contrast, it is the government that is responsible for the growth. This is why it is important to keep the central bank independent and thus maintain a delicate balance between growth and stability.

If they exceeded the number, the drop box should be used. These ballot papers were still intact with no sign of punching.

The basis for the ruling on a request for a review submitted by four plaintiffs was surprising.

The authority was returned to the House of Representatives (DPR), to be passed on to another institution.

Music lovers and album collectors look forward to the Record Store Day, held every year on the third Saturday of April. In celebration of Record Store Day, Tempo takes a look into a story of nostalgia about records copied onto audio cassettes, and the tape-recording 'home industry' which boomed in Bandung in the 1970s and 1980s.

There were at least four labels that re-recorded albums onto tape at the time: Yess, Mona Lisa, Apple and Hidayat Recording. Each label had its own specific identity based on its managers' tastes. Yess specialized in progressive rock, not caring if the market was limited.

Mona Lisa put out southern rock albums; Hidayat focused on jazz. Even today, those self-copied cassettes are still sought after by cassette collectors. Many Indonesian musicians feel Yess played a crucial role in honing their taste in music.
