Disini saya bertindak sebagai moderator dadakan. Saya tidak tahu siapa dikiri saya dan dikanan saya. Tapi yang jelas: bodo amat. Saya lebih tertarik dengan pendapat peserta dan saya memang sengaja tidak memperkenalkan para panelist karena waktu tidak banyak. Capek kalo dengerin ungkapan Harry Tjan Silalahi terus. Dulu beliau adalah kepala PMKRI, nyerbu Res Publica, dan membantu menetapkan politik asimilasi total Indonesia. Setelah 40 tahun mempora-porandakan Indonesia, beliau sebenarnya berhutang permintaan maaf kepada rakyat Indonesia dan juga Timor Timur. Dulu beliau mungkir Cina, dan sekarang sepertinya kembali Cina. Apakah orang seperti ini sebenarnya mempunyai idealisme?
Mungkin setelah saya membuat pernyataan ini, saya akan dibunuh seperti mereka yang dituduh PKI?

TRAMP, the vanguard of the nation, saving young generations
A flock of outdoorsmen participating in an outbound organized by the military found themselves turning into a better, if not different person: disciplined, tougher, and committed in whatever they do. And those willing to become so better follow suit, as chances are always open, provided that they can endure the training, a tough one. Continue reading...Proposal Open Source yang dicuri oleh orang lain
Ini sekedar untuk pelurusan opini publik, atas nama demokrasi Indonesia.Proposal ini dicuri oleh seorang aktivis lingkungan, yang namanya tidak perlu saya sebut, karena terlalu menjijikan manusia tersebut. Memang proposal ini ditujukan untuk mengembangkan open source, tapi bukan berarti proposal ini di-open-source-kan tanpa mengutip secara benar dari penulis. Continue reading...
Puff anywhere possible
After Seven months, the long established regulation prohibiting smokers from puffing in public places is proven to be ineffective, because to those highly addicted, a puff is too good to resist. Continue reading...Pertamina: The Wishbone of the Country?
The long awaited, yet still much higher than expected increases in fuel prices have finally been put into effect. While economists lecture the country ad nauseam that fuel prices even now are barely half the average across the world, this is cold comfort to those on low incomes and whose businesses are dependent upon cheap fuel just to stay competitive. Continue reading...Pertamina problems not just technical, clearly ethical
(Jakarta Post, September 12, 2005) While not knowing when oil prices will ever come back to earth, having Indonesia as a net oil-importer country, notwithstanding its 43-year OPEC membership, demonstrates that the condition of the national oil industry is much worse than what it had been many years ago.

Almost three months after the Tsunami wiped out most of the coastal regions in Aceh, the devastated regions are still left with nothing but rubbles and debris. And not only they have become a place where thousands of people are dead and massively buried, but the internally-displaced-persons (IDP) are now at the verge of being endangered by starvation and exposed to the harsh condition of post-mortems disaster. Continue reading...Q&A: Irwandi Jusuf: 'Why I will win the election'
A national polling institution has performed a quick count on Aceh’s Dec. 11 gubernatorial election, declaring one of the candidates a likely winner of the election, even though the official result of election is only due to be released in early January 2007. Continue reading...‘Aceh voting problems unacceptable’
(December 11, 2006) A former Free Aceh Movement rebel had labeled the central government as incompetent in its handling of today’s historic gubernatorial election in Aceh with an estimated 10 percent of the voting public being deprived of the right to vote. Continue reading...
Q&A: Glyn Ford: ‘We care about nothing but a peaceful election in Aceh’
Today is the day of Aceh’s gubernatorial election, a historic event in which more than 2,600,000 Acehnese are expected to cast their ballots, yet one that would not have been possible had Aceh not been struck by the tsunami and then undergone a peace process. Continue reading...Chinese Indonesians can help return capital
No longer deprived politically, Indonesian of Chinese descent are more likely to be willing to use their family and friendship connections to encourage Chinese Indonesian debtors residing in Singapore to return their misappropriated funds to Indonesia, says Rocky Gerung, a scholar who teaches philosophy at the University of Indonesia. Continue reading...Polluted canal threatens men, animals
Filled by large amounts of trash dumped irresponsibly, the flat canal in West Jakarta joined by two rivers, the Angke and the Ciliwung, has become toxic, threatening the livelihoods of people living along the embankments and of animals in the Muara Angke Wildlife preservation area. Continue reading...A debt criminal
Having paid off our debt to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), we wonder whether the World Bank will be the next financial institution to whom we have to pay our debt. Although doing so is still long way off, negotiations to reduce the debt before repaying the loan, proposed by the International NGO, Forum for Indonesian Development (INFID), sound reasonable, when we recall that international debt has been proven much more destructive than effective in helping the poor. Continue reading...Indonesian Muslims to use Al Quran to combat corruption
Unsure of how the Islamic Holy book Al Qur'an could be used to deter corruption, the Indonesian Muslim Society is yet to interpret its archaic verses on punishment commensurate with modern corruption, says Moeslim Abdurrahman, a moslem scholar and activist presenting his oration at a seminar held Tuesday. Continue reading...Military reform has ceased, say analysts
Launching the first edition of a newspaper specifically divulging information related to the Indonesian military, activists representing their respective NGOs who have grouped into a consortium managing the publication, said the military has stopped reforming, at a press conference held Wednesday.
