Jokowi’s Second- Term Cabinet

PRESIDENT Joko Widodo announced the names of 38 ministers and 12 deputy ministers who will assist him in his second term as president. Jokowi chose to reappoint several ministers who have been working with him since 2014. He again merges the research, technology and higher education ministry with the education and culture ministry; as well as the Creative Economy Agency—previously its own entity—with the tourism ministry. In the Indonesia Progress Cabinet, Jokowi embraces his contender in the past presidential election, Prabowo Subianto, as one of his helpers.

Jokowi’s New Cabinet

THE composition of the forthcoming cabinet is a gamble for president Joko Widodo. As the driving force for the realization of the elected president’s promises, the performance of the cabinet will determine how Jokowi is remembered in the future: as a successful leader, merely average or even a failure.

Bank Profitability Under Pressure

Last week, the banking sector began to publicize its first-quarter performance. In fact, some banks already held their annual shareholders' meeting. Although they are still optimistic of improved performance in this year's second half, the poor first-quarter results throw some doubt on whether the banking sector's recovery will actually take place this year.

In January 2016, data showed bank credit growing at just 10 percent from a year ago. With sluggish credit growth, the banks have been aggressively lowering their deposit faster than their loan rates. This explains the rise in the sector's net interest margin (NIM or the difference between deposit and loan interest rates) to 5.6 percent in January this year from 4.2 percent last year. However, this was not enough to cover the rising cost of non-performing loans (NPLs), due to slower economic growth. Sector-wide NPLs rose to 2.7 percent in January this year from 2.4 percent last year, while the sector's profitability dropped 5 percent over the same period. The worry is how far last year's weak growth will extend into 2016.

Cabinet Reshuffle: In Whose Interest?

The incessant rumors about an imminent cabinet reshuffle have become very disturbing. President Joko Widodo should quickly make up his mind whether he wants to act on it or not to prevent a continuation of the current climate of uncertainty. It is the only way the government can function in a calm and focused way to achieve the goals it has set for itself.

The reshuffle has been discussed ad nauseam without any sign it will actually go ahead. What has emerged in the meantime are long arguments on its pros and cons and public squabbles among ministers, many of whom should instead be reflecting on their performance ratings distributed last December.

Saudi Arabia and Iran Sever Ties

Saudi Arabia announced it had cut diplomatic relations with Iran on Sunday, January 3, following a protest at the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Tehran, which was triggered by the mass execution of 47 people, including Shia Muslim cleric, Nimr Al-Nimr. Al-Nimr was behind the anti-government protests in 2011.

In a press conference in Riyadh, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said that Iranian envoys were given 48 hours to leave the kingdom. He further added that, "Saudi Arabia will not let the Islamic republic undermine its security."

There are all kinds of cabinet ministers

It is no secret that Vice President Jusuf Kalla has had differences of opinion with President Joko Widodo. Likewise, he has openly locked horns with other members of the cabinet, including with Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs Rizal Ramli who was appointed last August. Not surprisingly, the Jokowi-Kalla government often faces political tensions and problems of coordination.

Lately, Kalla seems to have lowered his political 'pressure'. In an interview with Tempo at his office, Kalla, who also served as vice president under President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono from 2004 to 2009, said that differences among cabinet ministers had been resolved.

Hana S. Hikoyabi, 2015 SK Trimurti Award Recipient:
I was told it's a man's job

Hana Salomina Hikoyabi is an activist from Papua, who uses her bureaucratic savvy to get things done. She was vice chair of the Papua People's Assembly during the 2006-2011 period and is currently the head of the Regional Development Planning Board for Jayapura Regency. Hana founded the tabloid Suara Perempuan Papua (Voice of Papuan Women), to publicize issues related to violence against women, the need to acknowledge people living with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), for information on access to justice and the conservation of Papua's mega-biodiversity.

The tabloid has been influential in changing perceptions on gender in Papua, and she is not giving up on the idea that women should continue aiming for 30 percent representation in the legislature. For her unrelenting advocacy to give voice to the women's plight in Papua, she was presented with the 2015 SK Trimurti Award by the Indonesian Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI) at the beginning of September.

Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung:

President Joko Widodo had good reasons to send Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung, 52, to meet protesting labor union members last September 1. He is, after all, well-known for his negotiating skills. "Yes, that's my job. Anyway the President was having dinner with (an association of) minibus drivers," explained Pramono.

He was sworn in to his present position as minister in charge of cabinet affairs on August 12, replacing Andi Wijayanto. In addition to his main job, based on clear-cut regulations, the President has asked him to bridge relations between the Palace and political forces.

Luhut Panjaitan has apparently quieted down since new President Joko Widodo declined to name him a minister. When Tempo asked to interview him last week, the retired general replied with only one word. "Watimpres," he said over the phone. Then he hung up.

It was a reference to Luhut's title in the new administration, as a deputy on the Presidential Advisory Council, a position known as 'watimpres', instead of the head of the president's office, as some had speculated. Andi Widjajanto, who was appointed secretary of Joko's working cabinet, did not explain Luhut's position. As for who would head the president's office, "The decision is with the president," Andi said after meeting Luhut in his office at the Wisma Bakrie building in Kuningan, South Jakarta.

Working Cabinet, Work, Work, Work!

President Joko Widodo reshuffled some ministries and formed new ones for his new cabinet. The ministries affected by the reorganization are Public Works, Public Housing, Tourism, Education, Forestry and Environment. Joko also formed a new coordinating ministry: Maritime Affairs.

Due to these changes, Golkar Party Chairman Aburizal Bakrie reminded Joko that the 2015 State Budget does not account for the new organizations, especially the new ministry. According to Aburizal, the 2015 State Budget has already been officially approved and allocated to ministries established during President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's term. "Thus there will be a problem in the usage of funds and in the implementation of his programs," Aburizal said.

Disappointed With Jokowi's Cabinet

MANY Indonesians are disappointed with the proposed architecture of President-elect Joko Widodo's cabinet. Despite campaign promises, Joko said he would not reduce the number of ministries from 34. Of those, 18 would be headed by professionals in their fields and the rest by politicians from various parties. Ministries that will not be headed by politicians include Trade, Finance, State-Owned Enterprises and Energy. "It turns out his promise to downsize was not implemented," stock market observer Satrio Utomo said, adding that the market had hoped Joko's cabinet would include more professionals.

Transition Team Deputy for Cabinet Architecture Andi Widjajanto said Joko was ready to select names for his cabinet out of 40 people from various disciplines. The team is using public participation to form a list of candidates. Then a headhunter will sort out the names into three teams based on track records. Team One will be filled by candidates that have reached the top of their careers, while the two others will be filled by professionals and representatives from political parties. "Pak Jokowi will be focusing on Team One," he said.

Cabinet Dilemma

TRAPPED between the desire to establish a professional cabinet and the need to increase support for his coalition in the legislature, Jokowi Widodo must act wisely and cautiously. He has said from the outset that he wanted a coalition without preconditions, no power-sharing with the parties supporting him. Hopefully, the statement that he plans to recruit 16 "party professionals" to fill ministerial posts-out of a total of 34-means he is doing just that. But a more pessimistic point of view is that Jokowi is having doubts about his own initial stance.

The term 'party professionals' is open to varying interpretations. He might mean professionals supported by political parties. But it is also possible that it is members or leaders of these parties that he wants to appoint to the cabinet. The 16:18 ratio of prospective ministers that are party members to professionals shows that Jokowi's cabinet is an improvement over that of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, which has 21 ministers from political parties. But it seems that the public will not see a significant change in Jokowi's administration.

THE home of businessman Soetrisno Bachir in South Jakarta, was enlivened by the banter among the guests on the night before the end of Lebaran, last July. Their chat in a room adjacent to the swimming pool was about candidates for cabinet positions. Joko Widodo and Jusuf Kalla, who were supported by Soetrisno, a former chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN), were officially declared the winners of the presidential election by the General Elections Commission (KPU). "Rizal would make a good foreign minister, why would he be considered for the labor minister," asked Soetrisno, which made his colleagues burst into laughter. He said he preferred to take care of people. The guests responded by saying, "Ok, Pak Soetrisno should become the coordinating minister for people's welfare."

I am
each old man
here shot dead

Every child
Here shot dead.

Twenty years before this, at that ravine in Ukraine, at Babi Yar, around 34,000 Jewsincluding women, children and elderlywere murdered by German soldiers in just two days, September 29-30, 1941.

Yevtushenko is not Jewish; the poem Babi Yar says "In my blood there is no Jewish blood." But he claims that people are forgetting the brutality of what happened thereand along with it, other unacknowledged brutality of the past. Yevtushenko wrote his poem after Stalin's death, when people could read this massacre as a reminder of the cruelty that happened in their own pastjust as we in Indonesia can read it with similar memories.

From Babi Ngepet to Jelangkung

There is a craze among Indonesian moviegoers for (cinema and TV) films peppered with elements of comic mysteries, mysticism and horror, ranging from the box office hit Jelangkung to a mixed repertoire of “mystery stories” now flourishing on all TV channels. Indonesia’s mystery and horror films owe their presence to The Teng Cun, who introduced films of this genre to the Indonesian audience with his Doea Siloeman Oeler (Two Snake Ghosts). Later on, The, a Chinese-Indonesian born in Batavia, Jakarta’s erstwhile name, directed films in the same category such as Siloeman Babi Perang Siloeman Monjet (The Ghost Pig Fights the Monkey Ghost, 1935), Anaknja Siloeman Oeler Poeti (Son of the White Snake Ghost, 1936), Lima Siloeman Tikoes (Five Rat Ghosts, 1936) and Tengkorak Hidoep (Living Skeleton, 1941).

JAKA Irwanto and Boyamin Saiman raced to the Integrated Police Service Center of the Jakarta Police Department. On Thursday morning last week, the two men, who own Bumiputera 1912 Insurance policies, wanted to file a police report with the Crime Investigation Directorate. "We came early in the morning so that it could be processed quickly," Jaka told Tempo.

They had gone to the police to file a complaint against Firdaus Djaelani. The two policy holders charged that this commissioner at the Financial Services Authority (OJK) committed a crime by abusing his authority over Bumiputera Mutual Life Insurance (AJB). In the report, a copy of which was obtained by Tempo, Boyamin and Jaka questioned the decision made by Firdaus to appoint and establish Statutory Managers at AJB Bumiputera 1912.

Bailing Out Bumiputra

Bumiputera's problems began with its status as a mutual, rather than a limited, company. With this kind of model, it has not been managed with sound insurance company principles. The management is weak and the company seems to function in an extremely complex way. For example, Bumiputera has a Members Representative Board, as well as a board of commissioners, to oversee the directors.

This mutual type of company has a long history. Boemi Poetra was established in 1912 to improve the welfare of teachers. In 1966, the name was changed to Asuransi Jiwa (Life Insurance) Bumiputera. The company grew rapidly and was once ranked among the 10 largest insurance companies in Indonesia. It has policyholders across the country, mostly outside cities.

Panji Gumilang's Double-Game

The National Police conducted Operation Kresna three years ago to investigate the network of the Islamic State of Indonesia (NII)’s Area 9 Command. Panji Gumilang, the imam (religious leader) of the movement, was the prime target. All the evidence had been gathered, but the operation ran into a wall when it reached higher levels of command. It is strongly suspected that the police were obstructed by political interest groups and the intelligence community.

Throughout its history, the radical NII movement were involved in operations run by the intelligence forces. Panji Gumilang was seen as a counterforce aimed at breaking up the remaining supporters of the rebel S.M. Kartosoewirjo, the first imam of the NII.

Through the Al-Zaytun Islamic Boarding School, Panji used a different stratagy: developing a center of education, all the while expanding the wings of the organization. He recruited members and raised funds through coercion. He would promise politicians to deliver votes just before elections. Some people claim Panji’s charm was hard to resist.
