Trafficking Humans to Malaysia

Indonesian workers are still being sent to Malaysia illegally. According to data from the East Nusa Tenggara police, over 2,000 people from the region were victims of trafficking to Malaysia throughout 2015 and 2016. Lured by promises of large salaries, workers have returned home with physical injuries, with some even losing their lives. Children are also targeted and sold. Sadly, even those holding work permits are not immune to servitude. Tempo and Malaysiakini’s investigation since September 2016 exposed an organized network of human traffickers spanning between Malaysia and certain parts of Indonesia. Billions of rupiah have been spent on recruitment of illegal workers, involving identity forgers and immigration officials. Perpetrators in Malaysia remain impervious to the law. This report is a collaborative project between Tempo, the Tempo Institute and Free Press Unlimited.

It is not always easy to draw conclusions about the root causes of violence and to offer simple and uniform solutions. Every outbreak has different roots and therefore its own specific characteristics. These differences are determined by a number of factors: history, geography and even demographics.

Azwir Malaon
Assistant Deputy Minister, Ministry of Tourism Development and Creative Economy

Indonesia is endowed with a rich biodiversity that offers the country huge potential to develop a tourism industry based on an environmentally responsible program. Compared to conventional tourism, ecotourism offers extra benefits. Besides generating revenue, it is an effective medium for education and environmental conservation. Take the biodiversity park in Bangka-Belitung, developed by a group of local environmentalists. They succeeded not only in revitalizing the local economy badly affected by the collapse of the tin industry, they have also proven that through ecotourism, both local residents and tourists can be taught to conserve nature.

Azwir Malaon, deputy assistant minister for tourism at the ministry for tourism development and creative economy, said that these benefits would enable them to maximize Belitung's eco-tourism potential in the next three years, among others, by improving infrastructure and involving both the public private sectors. "Efforts to conserve nature, to improve people's welfare and to boost revenues can go hand in hand," he said. Two weeks ago, Azwir sat down for an interview with Tempo in his Jakarta office.

Lokot Ahmad Enda Asst. Dep. Director for Cultural Tourism Destinations, Ministry of Tourism
Sharia is not the main focus of halal tourism

THE Best Halal Tourism and World's Best Halal Honeymoon awards at the World Halal Travel Summit last year prompted a number of regions around Indonesia to work on winning those awards. The interested provinces were Aceh and West Sumatra. The provincial administrations of these two provinces are now competing to develop halal (acceptable according to Islam) in their respective areas in the next three years. They are campaigning hard among tourism industry practitioners to develop this industry genre and allocating the necessary funding for the effort.

Lokot Ahmad Enda, who is assistant deputy director for the development of cultural tourism destinations at the tourism ministry, said in an interview that Indonesia has been late in developing halal tourism. In fact, the program was only seriously developed in Indonesia around 2012. "Even Thailand has been doing it for the last 15years and Malaysia started it 10 years ago," Lokot told Tempo English reporter Isma Savitri in an interview last April. Excerpts.

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.

The banning of Lentera, a student magazine, by the Salatiga Satya Wancana Christian University authorities was an overreaction. This type of ban should not happen at a university, which should uphold academic liberty and freedom of expression.

The university leaders said that they had banned the edition of Lentera published at the beginning of October because the editorial team had not consulted them beforehand on the contents of the magazine with the cover story titled 'the Red City of Salatiga'. In addition to sounding contrived, this reminds us of the 'censorship tradition' common during the New Order regime.

IN mid-2012, the first world Congress of Indonesian Diaspora convened in Los Angeles. They came from many corners of the world: Australia, Holland, Qatar, Madagascar, Malaysia, Suriname, South Africa, Germany, Japan, New Caledonia and many others. It was then that Indonesians living abroad awakened to a new realization: that they were a large, dynamic, diverse community with much to offer one another and to Indonesia. It did not matter where they lived, what passports they carried or what their first language was. What mattered first and foremost was that they shared the same bond as members of the Indonesian diaspora. An Indonesian diaspora is defined as any person who has blood or cultural ties to Indonesia (berdarah atau berbudaya Indonesia), regardless of their nationality.

According to Hendra, even though the practice of knocking cattle unconscious before killing them conformed to the rules, there were no checks to ensure that the bovines were still alive at the time of their slaughter. That was crucial, because if bovines die before the slaughter, their meat becomes haram, or forbidden.
