Indonesia to launch its own weather satellite JAKARTA - The National Space and Aeronautics Institution (LAPAN) plans to launch a satellite, to be named “Nano”, to observe weather this year, an official says. Head of LAPAN’s applied technology center Rika Andiarti said the satellite would work to observe temperature and humidity along with other required data.

World Cup Whirl Leaves South Africa on a High source : thejakartaglobe.com Johannesburg. As the World Cup drew to a tumultuous close on Sunday night, South Africa completed its mission to show the rest of the planet a new face, upending stereotypes and nightmare scenarios about a country that has successfully showed off its modern accomplishments. Images of the world’s best footballers, ecstatic fans and top stadiums ruled headlines usually clouded by South Africa’s painful apartheid divisions and staggering crime and poverty that still afflict millions. “The world has seen this country in a different light,” President Jacob Zuma boasted. Newspapers around the world have declared the first World Cup on African soil a “win for all of Africa,” “a big successful party” and a “well-organized Cup” as visiting celebrities gushed about the host. Within South Africa, the experience was compared to the euphoria 20 years ago when Nelson Mandela walked out of an apartheid prison and set the nation on the path toward full democracy, with elections he won in 1994. “To just present a new South Africa that we dreamt about when Mandela walked out of prison in 1990 becoming a reality in 2010, and that was special,” said top World Cup organizer Danny Jordaan, a veteran of

“We’re preparing to launch the Nano satellite, which weighs 5 kilograms,” she said. “In the next five years, we have set a target to be able to produce our own rocket launcher so Indonesia no longer has to launch its satellite from another country.”

the democracy struggle.

In a hope to develop space and aeronautics technology, the institution also held a rocket competition for university students from across the country. After a series of tests, “The explosion of national pride and the unity that has from 40 teams of 38 universities, only been displayed by all South Africans is an invaluable 31 remained for the launching test benefit of the tournament,” Zuma said. on Sunday. After the kick-off on June 11, dire warnings overseas that tourists would need stab-proof vests and private bodyguards quickly slipped away in favor of images of a multiracial nation celebrating together in modern cities.

Now most people will return to their normal lives, and few expect to see many white faces in black neighborhoods. “After, it will be quiet and there won’t be any whites any more in Soweto,” said Evans Shivambu, at a farewell parade for the tournament. But sports authorities say they want to make an effort, and next month will stage a rugby test match in Soccer City, bringing a traditionally white sport to the stadium on the edge of Soweto. The real gains, South Africa believes, are in changing the world’s perceptions. “You could never pay for it, so I think it’s invaluable,” said Gillian Saunders, director of consultants Grant Thornton. “The real payoff is not the event itself, it’s the global profiling of South Africa and that’s gone very, very well. We need to leverage the profile we’ve got for tourism, investment and commerce.”

NEWS New School Year Commences with Traffic Chaos source : blog.indahnesia.com

As expected, severe traffic congestion and delays occurred in Jakarta to mark the beginning of the new academic year, resulting in many students being late for school. Muhammad Rizal, a student from 78 Senior High School in Kemanggisan, West Jakarta, said he had left home 45 minutes before classes began at 7 a.m. but was still late because of the chaotic traffic. Rizal’s school, considered to be among the better high schools in the capital, is located next to two other schools with good reputations, namely Bhakti Elementary School and 111 Junior High School, and consequently traffic suffers accordingly.

The traffic problems are compounded by a variety of street hawkers occupying the sidewalks. “It’s always like this during the first day of school because parents want to see their children off to school. It will be less crowded on the third or fourth day,” security officer Farid said. Ratna Sari, who escorted her daughter to her first day of elementary school, said her daughter did not know where her classroom was.

More Tourists That Have Shorter Stays

“My child still needs to adjust to her new school and she doesn’t even know where her classroom is so I must help her,” Ratna said. “When she knows where it is, she will go to school by herself with an ojek [motorcycle taxi].”

DENPASAR - The length of stay for foreign tourist visiting Indonesia declined 10.33% in May 2010, becoming 1.91 days as compared to 2.13 days in May 2009. Downturns in the length of stay were recorded in Jakarta, Central Java, North Sulawesi, East Kalimantan, Riau, Lampung, Jambi and Bali.

Government Allocates $1 Billion to Repair, Build New Classrooms source : thejakartaglobe.com

The Indonesian government has set aside Rp 9.3 trillion ($1.02 billion) to repair 132,000 damaged elementary school classrooms and build others around the country this year, an official says. “The total budget needed for the project is Rp 14 trillion. The rest will be made available next year,” Deputy National Education Minister Fasli Jalal said after receiving participants of the 2010 young national leaders forum facilitated by US nongovernmental organization World Vision at the National Education Ministry in Jakarta on Thursday. “The school buildings have been damaged and therefore we will repair them every year.

In 2010 alone, the government will spend Rp 9.3 trillion on the project,” he said. The budget allocations would include building new classrooms, he said. Fasli said the government would also build new kindergartens integrated with elementary schools and junior high schools, particularly in remote areas to give students better access to education. “We want the distance between the school buildings and students’ homes not to be more than two kilometers. Otherwise, students, particularly those living in remote areas, will find it hard to get to the schools,” he said.

The shorter length of visit for foreign tourist was less pronounced in Bali where the rate of decline only 6.37%, down to just 3.23 days in May while the same month one year before recorded 3.45 day average visits. Bisnis.com quoted the director the financial statistics, information technology and tourism at the National Statistic Bureau, Adi Lumaksono, as citing the world-wide economic downturn as causing the declining length of stay for tourists visiting Indonesia. Travelers are taking shorter trips closer to home. As further proof, Lumaksono pointed to the strong number of visitors from Malaysia and Singapore coming to Indonesia at the moment.

NEWS Rude Exit for Visiting Green Activists source : thejakartaglobe.com, Fidelis E Satriastanti

It came as a shock to Thai environmental activist Chariya Senpong, that one of her first tastes of Indonesian hospitality was a night’s accommodation courtesy of the Cirebon Police. Chariya is in the country with three other Thais for a meeting and site visit as part of a Greenpeace anti-coal campaign in Southeast Asia. However, the meeting at the Waruduwur village hall in Cirebon, West Java, on Monday turned ugly when 100 policemen burst in and arrested 12 foreign nationals — the four Thais, one from Hong Kong, three from the Philippines, two from China, two from India. Two Indonesians were also detained. The group, comprising Greenpeace activists, community leaders and experts, were questioned for allegedly staging an unlawful gathering and then handed over to the immigration office, where they were quizzed again until late on Tuesday before flown back to Jakarta and being deported. “It’s OK now because it’s almost clear,” Chariya, the Greenpeace climate and energy campaigner in Thailand, told the Jakarta Globe. “Our main purpose for coming was to meet activists and share experiences because every one of [our nations have] coal communities and issues.” She said the meeting was meant to explain how stakeholders could work together to promote renewable energy and raise awareness of the impact of coal-fired power plants. “After we finished, the police came and tried to throw us out,” Chariya said. “We didn’t commit any violence or do anything wrong, but the police wouldn’t release us and finally we all had to go down to the police station. “We were surprised by Indonesian law enforcement. We were just holding a meeting, and not breaking the immigration law.”

energy campaigner Arif Fiyanto said the police had overreacted. “It was just a meeting on the coal industry in Asia,” he said. “We were confused when suddenly the police broke it up and stated that we didn’t have permission to hold a press conference in the area. We’ve held hundreds of press conferences, none of which required permission from the police.” Arif said the police had charged them with engaging in activities “resulting in public chaos and disorder.” “We only invited reporters to the event, which was held at an outdoor venue,” he said. “If other people decided to tag along, that was their decision. We didn’t invite them.” Chariya said the incident highlighted a disregard for human rights. “It also affects human rights because we’re here to see how each country can support one another in saving the environment,” she said. “I also remember [President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono] urging the government to join Greenpeace in combating climate change and energy issues.” Other activists had harsher words. “Clearly Indonesia still hasn’t completely shrugged off its authoritarian past,” said Judy Pasimio, executive director of the Legal Rights and Natural Resources Center, an NGO concerned with indigenous people’s rights and natural resources. “This latest episode evokes the time of Suharto when the coercive power of the state, through the police and the military, were used to sow terror and choke democratic space. This abusive behavior has no place in a supposedly democratic country.” Foreign Ministry spokesman Teuku Faisasyah said he was not aware of the incident, while Cirebon Police did not answer calls on Wednesday for comment.

NEWS After Gas Explosions, Focus on Govt Response source : thejakartaglobe.com Markus Junianto Sihaloho & Farouk Arnaz

Lawmakers have been vocal in calling for the government to provide free hoses and regulators to replace faulty ones linked to a series of gas canister explosions, as well as to educate users on operating the equipment safely. Bambang Wuryanto, secretary of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) at the House of Representatives, said it would be unfair for the government to charge people for the replacement parts when the problem was in a government-initiated project. He said that if at the beginning of the program, aimed at phasing out subsidised kerosene in favor of cheaper liquefied petroleum gas, the government had embarked on a comprehensive campaign to educate people on how to use the new gas canisters and stoves, there would not have been as many explosions and casualties. “We urge the government to resolve all issues related to use of the gas stoves without charging citizens a cent,” Bambang said.

House Deputy Speaker Taufik Kurniawan, from the National Mandate Party (PAN), agreed that because the government had initiated the introduction of LPG, it should be responsible for ensuring the safety of the program. “The government is obliged to prevent more accidents by replacing the defective components, no matter the cost,” Taufik said. State-owned energy company PT Pertamina has already begun distributing certified hoses and regulators to replace faulty ones. The hoses will retail for Rp 15,000 ($1.65) each, and the regulators for Rp 20,000. Lukman Edy, secretary general of the National Awakening Party (PKB), said the government should rethink its decision to only replace the hoses and regulators, saying he had received numerous complaints about the canisters themselves. “Every life is sacred, so steps must be taken to ensure we don’t lose more,” he said. Bobby Adhityo Rizaldi, from the Golkar Party, said issuing replacement parts did not address the problem of users lacking knowledge on how to operate the stoves and canisters safely.

“I believe the government first needs to conduct an education campaign,” he said. Most of the gas canister explosions this year have involved the 3-kilogram canisters the government has been distributing since 2006 under the kerosene-to-LPG conversion program. Several of the bigger explosions originated at illegal depots where operators transferred gas from the subsidized 3-kg canisters into 12-kg canisters, which retail for more per volume. Meanwhile, National Police Chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri ordered his officers to cooperate more closely with Pertamina and the Energy Ministry’s Directorate General of Oil and Gas in investigating the explosions. The National Police’s special crimes director, Brig. Gen. Suhardi Alius, told reporters: “Even though we already have good cooperation, we want to accelerate that and to work more closely following the president’s instruction to thoroughly investigate the gas cylinder explosions.”

‘Culture of Corruption’ Threatens To Engulf Police, Observers Warn source : thejakartaglobe.com, Nurfika Osman

The government must weed out corruption within the police force by first setting up a team to investigate the bloated bank accounts of six high-ranking officers named in a recent magazine report, civil society groups said at a discussion on Wednesday. Indonesia Corruption Watch investigator Agus Sunaryanto said such a step was urgently needed before the problem grew and undermined the entire force. He said that while the National Police chief had rejected a call for the formation of such a team, it was encouraging that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had spoken up on the issue. “However, the president’s statement is ambiguous because he doesn’t seem to want to intervene in the legal process,” he said, adding the ICW would continue to press Yudhoyono on the issue. “An investigative team that’s independent of the police is the best hope we have of getting to the bottom of these suspicious accounts and ensuring that errant officers get more than just a telling off,” Agus said.

He added that the team could be made up of members of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) and the Financial Transaction Reports Analysis Center (PPATK), which initially flagged the suspect accounts. Edwin Partogi, a political, legal and security advocate from the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras), said an investigation into the accounts was urgently needed to prevent the police force losing all credibility. “A culture of corruption is replacing professionalism and loyalty within the force,” he said. “If this continues, the police will be an institution based on bribery.” Edwin said Indonesia had all the laws in place to tackle the problem, but neither the capacity nor the political will to do so. Poengky Indarti, the executive director of rights watchdog Imparsial, said the allegations of police corruption showed that sweeping reforms were needed. “The lack of monitoring of the police is the problem,” she said. “The government and legislature must immediately shake up the National Police Commission to ensure it does

its job of monitoring the force.” She said the 2002 National Police Law and a 2005 presidential decree on the National Police Commission required supporting legislation to improve monitoring of the force. “We urge the government to formulate a law for the police commission, to give it greater powers than the decree currently gives it,” Poengky said. A Tempo magazine report on the bank accounts is believed to have precipitated the firebombing of the magazine’s editorial office early on Tuesday, although no injuries were reported and only minimal damage was caused. “We’re not afraid and we’ll continue to work professionally,” Tempo editor in chief Wahyu Muryadi said at Wednesday’s discussion. “We are well aware that the attack was a message from those who hate the press, Tempo or perhaps even the police.” He added that the suspect bank accounts had been flagged as far back as 2005, and warranted further investigation.

DE HOOI It’s 7 o’clock and the dudes just started up their calls to go pray. They must be saying something in some language but I wonder. It really doesn’t sound like anything to me. Let me see what the internet says about it… Wow, that’s actually pretty heavy man. All this time I just thought it was a bunch of unintelligible noise blasted from a loud speaker intentionally meant to annoy and wake me up in the morning, but once you figure out what you’re listening to it’s actually pretty powerful. You know how Americans are though. We don’t want anybody pushing religion on us. I can’t believe I’ve been here over four years and haven’t bothered to figure out what I was listening to 5 times a day. What a dummy.

I’m just barely aware what’s going on at that time. Well, I hope you found that as interesting as I did. Anything that has to do with God is pretty trippy. There are some pretty cool sound files and youtube clips of the Adhen too. You should check it out. Speaking of cool sound clips De Hooi is going to start having live music on Saturdays.

Theodore de Bry. CHOREO SEV TRIPV DIVM IAVANORVM. (left) $300. ‘A typical Javanese Dance’ from Petits Voyages, published in 1601 in Latin text. Translation of text reads: When the people of Java dance, the men stand on one side and the woman on the other, just as they do in Madagascar. The way they dance, however, is quite different. The dancers sway from side to side, stretching out an arm to one side, then pulling it back and laying a hand on their breast, with great playfulness. The musical instrument to which they dance is made from different sized pieces of sugar cane, bound together like organ pipes and arranged on a platform. A small piece of metal covers each opening at the top and the player strikes these with another piece of metal. The sound is very pleasant and ﬁve times louder than one would expect from such a small instrument.

‘Another type of Javanese musical instrument.’ From Petits Voyages, published in 1601 in Latin text. Translation of text: There is another type of musical instrument played in Java. Under a shelter, they hang down a descending row of moulded gongs, each one different in size from the next, so the tones vary in pitch. There are also smaller versions, that lie on low tables and are beaten with drumsticks and these are used in people’s houses. The rhythms are unusual but a joy to listen to. They are played in the name of the king for ofﬁcial business, such as when we ﬁrst arrived and the king granted us permission to do business with the Javanese.

DRAIN YOUR BRAIN PUZZLE OF THE WEEK

FACTS ABOUT INDONESIA

At the local play group for babies and toddlers, I was asking the mothers about the number of teddies each of their children has. The four children are aged 1, 2, 3 and 4. Remarkably, the children have one, two, three and four teddies, although not necessarily respectively. Darren has more teddies that his age. John is older than Matthew. Curiously only one child has the same number of teddies as their age. Paul has less teddies than John and the child aged 3 has two teddies. Paul is the youngest.

Indonesia comprises of around 17,508 islands that extend 5,150 kms all across, right from the east to the west. These beautiful mountains are dotted with green rainforests. Some of these mountains though are known to have active volcanoes. Indonesia is also known as one of the worlds largest archipelagic state. An archipelago simply means a group of islands. Archipelagoes are generally found in the open sea. Archipelagoes are also generally volcanic in nature. Indonesia is also known as the world’s most thickly populated country. In 2007, the estimated figures were around 234 million people.

SUDOKU OF THE WEEK

Indonesia is also known as the largest Islamic country. Around 87 percent of the population consists of Muslims. This has not been declared officially though.

Sudoku, known as well as südoku or su doku is a logical kind of Japanese puzzle.

Indonesia also has numerous active volcanoes and people out here also have to be prepared due to the frequent number of earthquakes.
