Farmers need to be bridged DENPASAR People need to be motivated so that they want to continuously pursue the agricultural sector.

Moreover in this era, becoming a farmer cannot simply defend idealism. In this case, it is meant to keep farming and preserving valuable Balinese culture. But more than that, the agriculture must also provide economic prosperity for the players.

It was conveyed by a member of House of Representatives of Bali constituency, Gde Sumarjaya Linggih, in a discussion on agriculture with the players of agribusiness, analysts, academicians, banks and businessmen at Bale Banjar Bali Global Shankara, Sanur, Denpasar.

Pitbull says he is not supporting Trump

LOS ANGELES - Rapper Pitbull had harsh words for Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Friday, telling reporters that he is not supporting the candidate and describing his campaign as a “joke.”

“I think the [Trump’s] campaign is a joke to be honest with you. I think that it’s unfortunate the way we’re being viewed around the world due to some people’s approaches,” the Cuban-American

rapper said. Pitbull, real name Armando Perez, was speaking on the sidelines of a ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, where he was honored with a star plaque for his contri-

butions to the music recording industry.

Pitbull’s comments on Trump came after a report in Vanity Fair magazine that the Miami-born rapper had met with the Republican nominee in Florida.

“Am I supporting Donald Trump?

No I am not supporting Donald Trump. You all know this already very well,” said Pitbull. (rtr)

Indonesia orders overhaul of drug agency after fake vaccine scandal

The Food and Drugs Agency JAKARTA - Indonesia on Friday ordered an immediate overhaul of the food and drug monitoring agency, a month after (FDA) has come under particular police uncovered a syndicate selling fake imported child vaccines fire after officials said they were aware of the fake vaccine problem to hospitals, pharmacies and clinics over the past decade.

The scandal sparked a public uproar and exposed major government deficiencies in ensuring drug safety amid a boom in Indonesia’s health industry.

Investigators continue to unravel how widespread the reach of a drugmaking ring that sold fake booster vaccines for hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough to health facilities in Jakarta and the

island of Java.

No illnesses or deaths have been directly linked to the fake vaccines.

“We can’t be half-hearted with this vaccine problem, and yesterday the president decided to immediately restructure the (food and drug agency)” Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung said in a statement.

“With this we hope that this kind of thing won’t be repeated.”

as early as 2013. But little was done until a police investigation earlier this year exposed the syndicate, leading to at least 18 arrests so far.

Under pressure from parliament, the health ministry on Thursday published the names of 14 more health facilities around Jakarta that administered the fake vaccines, prompting crowds of parents at hospitals demanding information on whether their children were victims.

Health authorities have sought to reassure parents that the fake vaccines were not harmful and their children could get re-vaccinated under a government programme to be launched next week.

Police uncovered the syndicate after a pharmacist in Bekasi, near Jakarta, was arrested in May for selling medicine without a licence.

The drugs turned out to be fake and led to the arrest of more than a dozen distributors and makers of the fake vaccines. Investigators said they were also questioning doctors and hospital managers in the case.

“In some cases, directors signed the purchases of these vaccines, which means we need to evaluate management,” Health Minister Nila Moeloek told MetroTV. “We must be thorough. We have to finish this.”(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

COVER STORY Farming...

From page 1

The discussion in a series of the event entitled ‘Bali Farmers Agribusiness Gathering’ held by the Bali Post Media Group was also filled with product sales promotion.

“It is said that soybean farmers received IDR 8 million in each harvest. If there are harvests a year, it totally reaches IDR 24 million per hectare, excluding production cost and others. Then, how can we encourage young generations to farm?” asked Sumarjaya Linggih familiarly called Demer.

Nevertheless, Demer considered the business trend in the future lies in economic sharing or collaborative business. Marketing of agricultural products can be done via the internet. It is no longer done conventionally requiring more expensive costs. However, Demer is still doubt about the parties or people wishing to bridge farmers with the experts in such marketing policy. They also include the experts in the field of agricultural technology to optimize the dormant land or improve the quality of their products.

“I think there is still a gap remaining to happen at the village. Especially at my village, I try to check there is unemployed agricultural bachelor. On the other hand, there are empty paddy fields of farmers, so that it sounds ineffective. They

(bachelor of agriculture and farmers) can be said to need each other.

However, who is going to start moving into the collaborative business or economic sharing that could make them meet?” he asked.

According to Demer, farmers must be made smarter in order to have economic value in the long term. Here, the government’s intervention is very much needed because the average farmers are still less educated. At the very least, the government should provide good seed subsidies for farmers other than making a regulation to protect them.

Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) of Bali, A.A. Ngurah Alit Wiraputra, agreed when the concern of the government and private sector are also needed in the agricultural development. Agricultural subsidies should be given as much as possible by the government. He even expected that allocation of funds for agriculture in the regional budget could be improved.

“Usually in the provincial government, the budget for the increase in agricultural subsidies is very small and I have heard from the head of the agricultural agency if the allocation of funds is indeed very small for the sector. How can farmers grow if they are not given incentives? At least, the government set up a seed,” he said.

Wiraputra added that farmers would be willing to continuously

participate in agricultural activities when receiving greater support from the government. Likewise, private sector is ready to purchase agricultural products of farmers.

He ensured that private sector is ready to support the post-harvest activities as well as motivate young people wishing to farm.

“To draw the interest of our young generations to farm, they should be adequately motivated that becoming a farmer is no longer dirty. Being a modern farmer can be clean and looks prestigious. As overseas, farmers indeed look nice and have high purchasing power,” he explained.

On the other hand, added Wiraputra, the agriculture in Bali should be developed with the concept of the desa kala patra or adjusted to local condition. A given area should produce a specific agricultural product, or what the so-called “One Village, One Product.” So, one village, for example, develops a superior product only.

“How can we realize this? Yesterday I was visited by Consul General of Japan doing things that we have not done and being conducted by the Faculty of Agriculture, Udayana University, namely researching our land. For instance, what plant is appropriate to be cultivated in Karangasem, Bedugul, Singaraja, and other region,” he said.

Having been classified by district, continued Wiraputra, in fact

the potential of soil in Bali is outstanding. In Baturiti subdistrict (Tabanan), for example, is specifically good for the cultivation of strawberry and lettuce. Then, at Jatiluwih is now being studied for the cultivation of agricultural products other than rice.

“Similarly, we’ll look for other products in other areas. However, it is also important for us to know about the characteristic of our agricultural land, so that we cannot grow haphazardly,” he explained.

Regional Leader of BNI Denpasar, AAG Agung Darmawan, said that banking institution has always been considered to have the farthest alignment from farmers. But he ascertained that under the leadership of President Joko Widodo with Nawacita (nine agendas) the move starts from the periphery or rural areas.

“I am sure the banking institution in Indonesia like BNI will not be far from farmers. Well, at first in terms of farmers, when banks talk about farmers, we usually do not talk about farmers but entrepreneurs. Farmers have been taken into account, no longer dirty and so on.

But especially for BNI, we’d like to transform farmers into agribusiness entrepreneurs,” he said.

He added that the most important things in the economic aspect are finance and marketing.

Chiefly related to financing, the current government has adopted the people’s business credit (KUR) with the interest of nine percent. In

Activities

International

relatively short time, the interest will be lowered again. But for the BNI, it is not only enough because what is needed is creating more ‘markets’ to help the marketing of farmers.

“For us, when marketing has developed, the demand will increase, so that production will automatically rise and the financing runs smoothly. Now, the sales can no longer be done conventionally through physical shops and markets. BNI makes a mall on the website,” he explained.

He also explained that his institution has discussed about the plan of making a virtual mall with the regent of Gianyar, Klungkung and Bangli. Actually, the plan is not sufficiently realized by the districts but will be more appropriate if made into Bali Mall in cyberspace.

Such a virtual mall has been created

by Banyuwangi under the name of Banyuwangi Mall.

“Why does Bali not make it?

This is what we intend to help so that the agricultural production, tourism, and others are outside.

Bali can be said to have all of them.

Discussion on agriculture has been made since the elementary school and Bali has subak (irrigation cooperative) and we cannot find this elsewhere. I have been outside the region and all people know about Bali. So, we should sell this, marketing should be the avant-garde and we at the BNI is ready to help,” he said. (kmb32)

Down and dirty! South Korea’s most popular festival

SEOUL - A picture of a man being splashed in the face with a wave of mud marks the start of the Mud Festival in Boryeong in South Korea.

Mud taken from the Boryeong mud flats, 200km south of Seoul, South Korea, and driven over to the Daecheon beach area, is turned into a Mud wonderland and is considered to be rich in minerals used to manufacture cosmetics in the country.

The festival was originally conceived as a marketing tool for Boryeong mud cosmetics in 1998 although over time has become a popular past time for visitors and locals in the area.

Six images represent some of the highlights of the festival which spans across two weeks in July including wrestling, mud pools and people painting their faces with the

nutrient rich sludge.

Marking its 18th anniversary on July 15 the festival was hoped to allow people to learn more about the mud and the cosmetics that are made from it.

Although the festival was not without controversy, when a group 230 school children that attended the festival in 2009 developed a skin rash after contact with the mud.

But despite the backlash the festival continues and has been chosen the ultimate destination for those enjoying their summer in South Korean this year.

The festival will run from July 15 to July 24 and has been described as Korea’s ‘most popular summer festivals’ hoping to draw in another crowd of over a million people to Daecheon Beach.

Hesitation of students’ parent to send their children to this school is quite reasonable. They include the quite alarming condition of the buildings and the lack of library and sport facilities.

People unwilling to send their children to SDN 2 Keramas Education Agency still investigates

GIANYAR - Many factors have caused grievances of people, so that they are reluctant to entrust their children to be educated at the SDN 2 Keramas elementary school such as the condition of school buildings, management up to the individual teachers. In the meantime, the Education Agency is still making an investigation and finds a solution to this problem.

At Keramas village, there are four public schools and one private school. The SDN 2 Keramas located at Gelgel hamlet is geographically quite close to other schools such as the SDN 1 Keramas at Lebah hamlet and SDN 4 Keramas at Dia hamlet, Keramas village.

Hesitation of students’ parent to send their children to this school is quite reasonable. They include the quite alarming condition of the

buildings and the lack of library and sport facilities.

Gelgel hamlet chief, Keramas village, Putu Agus Sutanaya, said on Wednesday (Jul. 13) that the SDN 2 Keramas that has not got new students to date is a protracted problem.

His authority had repeatedly made an approach to the people regarding the school condition, but they still refuse due to a number of reasons.

“When making an approach to

residents, they gave a number of reasons. For example, a student of Gelgel hamlet has elder brother or sister having attended elementary school at the SDN 1 or SDN 4 Keramas, their younger one will surely request to attend the same school. At the same time, it is impossible for their parents to let their children attend school alone at the SDN 2 Keramas,” he explained.

Another reason of parents is that some of the former teachers at the SDN 2 Keramas were not trusted by local residents. The teachers did not give maximal attention to students because they were busy with their personal businesses. Finally students’ parents were furious because

TABANAN - Although the dissemination on HIV has been frequently held, discrimination of people with HIV in Tabanan remains to happen. Some time ago, people in Tabanan even did not want to bathe one of the residents known to be infected with HIV. His body was placed under the bale gede (pavilion) and on the bale gede as it should be.

To resolve this issue, the AIDS Mitigation Commission (KPA) of Tabanan in cooperation with the Tabanan Health Agency came down to the field and provided insight for people that HIV transmission is not easy and not contagious just by touching or bathing the corpse of HIV sufferer.

It was stated by the Secretary of KPA Tabanan, I Ketut Randem, Wednesday (Jul. 13). According to him, such discrimination incident does not only occur once in Tabanan, especially when bathing corpse. People immediately do not want to do it when knowing if the late was previously a HIV patient. He added that HIV can only transmit through fluid exchange like blood and the most commonly happening today is through semen or sexual intercourse. In addition, it must be through an intermediary in the form of wound. “So, do not be afraid if you are just holding or touching the patient or the body of people with HIV,” he said.

Aside from discrimination when people died, discrimination against people with HIV remaining alive is still going on. Randem told that there was a case in Tabanan where a HIV sufferer was ostracized by the family. Or a child whose parents suffer from HIV was rejected by a school due to the demand of other students’ parents. “The child is innocent, why it must be excluded as well?” said Randem.

Randem recognized if the discrimination shows that there are people having minimal knowledge about HIV particularly regarding how it is passed on to people.

Actually the KPA Tabanan has disseminated it frequently at schools, villages or PKK organizations.

their children were abandoned.

“At that time, the school output was poor. However, a few years ago, teachers were already replaced with the new ones that are younger, more creative and innovative. Nevertheless, public confidence still does not recover,” he said.

Together with the principal, the younger teachers have attempted to make an innovative breakthrough so as to attract the interest of residents.

For instance, the teachers visit students’ house and invite them to learn together. But so far, this effort seems not to give satisfying results.

According to Sutanaya, in this case the village authority needs to establish a zoning, so that the

school will not receive students from outside their zoning. “However, it still needs to be discussed at the village meeting, whether the zoning determination can be applied,” he said.

In the meantime, the Head of the Gianyar Education Agency, Made Suradnya, claimed to still conduct an investigation regarding the condition of the SDN 2 Keramas. When asked whether his agency would conduct an institutional transfer to the school, this former head of the BKD Gianyar is unable to provide certainty. “Obviously we will investigate it first and then the result will be discussed beforehand with the leadership,” he said. (kmb35)

Discrimination of HIV patients still occurs in Tabanan According to him, currently HIV does not only threaten people with high risk factors such as drug users and sex workers having multiple partners but also threatening people with low risk factors such as housewife that never goes anywhere and even children.

“These housewives are even transmitted by their husband liking to use the services of commercial sex workers. After infecting their wife, it will transmit to her baby in the wife’s womb,” said Randem.

HIV transmission to people with low risk factor happens because it has now been dominated by the medium of sexual intercourse.

Thus, for those with high risk factor like having multiple partners

or using the services of prostitutes will be passing the virus to their wife at home.

Not only that, the current HIV patients commencing to be suffered by productive age range of 20-29 years amounting to 266 people and aged 30-39 years amounting to 282 people indicate that school children are also in the danger of HIV infection due to having early sexual intercourse or other risk factor such as drug use.

“The age range of 20-29 years can be assumed to have been infected with HIV five years earlier or at school age. As a result, school-age children are currently having the potential to be threatened by HIV,” said Randem. (kmb24)

In cremation season, bade tower maker flooded by orders

KLUNGKUNG - Cremation season has brought in a blessing for bade tower maker and sarcophagus means in Klungkung. This condition is also experienced by Nyoman Sudiasa. The man opening his business at Takmung village admitted to be flooded with the order during the cremation season this time. During normal days, he only gets two orders, but now he can get up to ten orders.

When met at his business premises, Sudiasa said that every cremation season, the order of bade tower and other sarcophagus means increases sharply by more than 100 percent.

But on the contrary, if the cremation season ends, the order will be sluggish back. This artisan from Tusan village, Banjarangkan, said that beyond the season of cremation he usually receives two to three orders. But during the current cremation season his order can reach eight to ten bade towers. “On average, every cremation season falling in July-August my order will increase,” he explained.

To do the whole bade and sarcophagus means coming to him, he admitted to be unable to accomplish them alone. So, to complete the order on time, he takes at least 12 artisans at his workshop.

The main raw materials used for the making of bade tower and sarcophagus means are the wood of ylangylang, silk tree and ferry silk. He said that apart from the mainland territory in Klungkung, the order of bade tower and sarcophagus means like ox, wadah and others also come from the region of Nusa Penida. Moreover, he also frequently receives orders from outside the district such as Karangasem, Negara to Lombok.

He sets the price at IDR 10 million for each unit of bade tower, ox-style sarcophagus at IDR 4-5 million and wadah at IDR 6 million per unit. “For a full package, I usually sell for IDR 31 million,” he explained. He also added that the price is adjusted to the decoration style and distance of delivery. (kmb40)

A Tuwed resident dies of rabies

IBP/net

In 2016, there have been 1,415 cases of dog bites. Of the thousands of cases, it was the only victim bite at Tuwed that could not be overcome.

NEGARA - A resident of Taman hamlet, Tuwed, died of rabies positive case. Ni Komang Sastrawati, 36, was bitten by a dog few months ago that later on known to have been infected by rabies.

Husband of the victim, I Gede Sukayasa, 40, said on Friday (Jul. 15) that his wife was bitten by a dog and already taken to Melaya health center.

However, during the treatment she did not get anti-rabies vaccine (VAR). From his confession to reporters, at that time his wife was checked up to the health center because of getting fever. Having been checked, his wife was allowed to go home. A few moments later, the victim got fever again and was eventually taken to Negara Hospital.

After that, the victim was referred to Sanglah Hospital on the same day. When arriving at Sanglah Hospital, the victim was known to have died and positive to rabies. His wife was actually bitten by a dog early April. At that time, the victim went to Berawan Tangi hamlet, Tuwed. After bitten by the dog at victim’s leg instep, she was taken to health center on the same day. The wound was already cleaned and bandaged. However, she was not given anti-rabies vaccine. He was disappointed because he was just let know after his wife was indicated to be infected by rabies at Sanglah Hospital.

In the meantime, Chief of the Jembrana Health

Agency, I Putu Suasta, justified that clinically the victim’s death was declared positive to rabies.

According to Suasta, the victim is the third victim that died of rabies in Jembrana since 2008. In 2016, there have been 1,415 cases of dog bites. Of the thousands of cases, it was the only victim bite at Tuwed that could not be overcome. Allegedly there was lost control on the victim and the biting dog.

From the data at the health center, the victim was bitten by a local pet dog on April 19. In appropriate with the standard operating procedures, the health officer provided patient a monitoring and information card carrying the latest information whether the dog is dead or alive. The time was 14 days and on day 15 she should return the card. However, after having been waited by the officers, the monitoring card of the dog bite was not returned. So, it was unknown whether the dog was dead or alive. The card is used to determine the subsequent handling including the provision of anti-rabies vaccine.

From the information obtained, after biting the victim, the dog went away and no one knew where the carcass was. According to Suasta, the anti-rabies vaccine stock in Jembrana remains in safe condition, but the administration is done selectively. (kmb26)

Somsak was “just a kid, not a big-time dealer”, his older brother Panit told Reuters after a visit to the jail. “We’re also serving time, waiting for him to get out so he can help the family.”

More than a decade after Thailand declared a “war on drugs”, the country is admitting defeat. As the prison population soars, Justice Minister Paiboon Koomchaya told Reuters he was looking at changes to the country’s draconian drug laws.

“I want to de-classify methamphetamine but Thailand is not ready yet,” said Paiboon, meaning downgrading the drug, popularly known as “meth”, from a Category 1 substance, which would reduce jail time for possession or dealing.

Use of methamphetamine is spiralling across Southeast Asia, and authorities are struggling to respond.

In the Philippines, which has some of the highest rates of “meth” use, police killings of drug suspects have spiked since the swearing-in of President Rodrigo Duterte, elected on a platform of harsh measures to wipe out drug crime.

Myanmar, the source of much of the drugs flooding through the region, is bracing for an explosion in domestic use.

Overall, drugs supply in Southeast Asia, especially of methamphetamine, is at a record level, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). (rtr)

Vietnamese protesters detained for rapping China over S.China Sea case

HANOI - About 20 Vietnamese demonstrators were detained on Sunday while trying to hold a protest against China’s rejection of an international court decision that denied its vast claims in the South China Sea. The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, deciding a case lodged by the Philippines, ruled last week that China’s ninedash line denoting its territory, illustrated in a U-shape on Chinese maps, was illegal and breached Manila’s sovereign rights. Beijing has called the case a farce.

The demonstrators, some wearing T-shirts with the slogan “No-U”, were forced by unknown men into buses and cars that were waiting for them around Hanoi’s historic Hoan Kiem lake, Reuters witnesses said.

Vietnam has its own sovereignty disputes with China, but has been reserved in its comments on last week’s verdict, welcoming it but not saying if Hanoi would pursue the same

legal path as the Philippines.

Vietnam’s communist government is sensitive about anti-China sentiment among its people, many of whom welcomed the Philippines’ legal victory.

China claims most of the energy-rich waters through which about $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also have claims.

Also on Sunday, a separate group of Vietnamese demonstrators held a rally that lasted less than one minute in front of the Philippines embassy in Hanoi.

The nearly 10 people in the group hopped onto scooters and fled to evade arrest as police approached.

Their signs read “China you must comply REUTERS/Kham with international law” and “Thank you Philippines, you have a brave government.” A policeman tries to stop anti-China protesters holding placards during a dem(rtr) onstration in front of the Philippines embassy in Hanoi, Vietnam July 17, 2016.

Brexit minister: Some EU migrants may have to leave UK

LONDON — Some European Union citizens may not be allowed to stay in Britain after the U.K. leaves the bloc, the U.K. minister in charge of negotiating the divorce has said. Brexit Secretary David Davis told the Mail on Sunday newspaper that he wants “a generous settlement for EU migrants here now and a generous settlement for British citizens in the EU.”

He dismissed suggestions the estimated 3 million EU nationals in Britain might have to leave, but said if there was a surge in arrivals before the deadline, the British government may have to set a cutoff date.

“We may have to say that the right to indefinite leave to remain protection only applies before a certain date,” he said. “But you have to make those judgments on reality, not speculation.”

A desire to reduce immigration from other EU nations was a key reason many Britons voted last month to leave the EU. Under the bloc’s rules, EU nationals can move feely among member states, and Britain has seen its population swelled by hundreds of thousands of new EU arrivals in recent years.

British Prime Minister Theresa May has been criticized for refusing to guarantee the right of EU citizens to remain in Britain after a British exit — something that is more than two years away. She says she needs to ensure that hundreds of thousands of Britons living in other EU countries get the same right.

Britain’s vote to leave the EU has unleashed political and economic turmoil, as people and markets absorb the uncertainties about the country’s economic future as it leaves the 28-nation single market of 500 million people.

Davis said he believes Britain will be able to retain access to the single market while opting out of the EU’s right to free move-

Meanwhile, the government is seeking to reassure Britons that the U.K. can build strong and profitable trade ties outside the EU. May said she spoke Saturday to Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who

expressed a desire for a free trade deal with Britain as soon as possible.

“It is very encouraging that one of our closest international partners is already seeking to establish just such a deal,” May said — although Britain can’t make any new arrangements until it actually leaves the EU.(ap)

Turkmenistan abolishes agencies managing key gas industry

ASHGABAT — Turkmenistan, which holds the world’s fourth-largest natural gas reserves that are the base of its economy, has abolished two of the primary government agencies responsible for the sector.

The government newspaper Neutral Turkmenistan on Saturday said President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov had ordered the disbanding of the Ministry of Oil and Gas and the State Agency For Managing Hydrocarbon

Resources.

The report said the move is aimed at improving management of the sector. But it could also reflect budget concerns amid low world prices for gas. Turkmenistan depends on gas exports for about one-third of its GDP. Turkmenistan is the prime mover in the effort to build a gas pipeline that will serve Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.(ap)

MEDAN - The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation has instructed operators and management of airports in the country to boost airport security to prevent any eventuality, including smuggling of goods.

On the sidelines of his visit to Kualanamu airport in Medan, North Sumatra, Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan said he had issued a number of instructions and requested measures to be taken to increase security at airports.

For some reason he was unable to explain about them, he said. “I could not explain them in detail to you,” he said to newsmen.

He hoped community members would help support the governments efforts by reporting to the authorities anything suspicious.

“They must report to the security authorities if they see anything suspicious,” he said.

When asked about the long queues that would occur due to

tightening of checks, the minister said, he hoped people would understand. “For the sake of everyone’s security, if you have to queue up you must,” he said.

During the ministers visit, a number of military personnel were seen standing guard in front of the airport.

Besides tactical vehicles, the Mobile Brigade of the North Sumatra regional police command has also made available a bomb-defusing vehicle at the location.(ant)

In a press release on Saturday, Bambang said that of the number, some 257,874 were transported from the Gambir Railway Station 504,180 from the Pasar Senen Station and 28.068 from other stations in the capital city.

President Director of Railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), Edi Sukmoro, said previously predicted that this year, about 5.3 million travelers will use trains as their mode of transportation to go to their home towns.

“Last year, the number of train passengers during the Lebaran travel period had reached 5.1 million. If this year the number of passengers using trains reaches 5.3 million, it would mean a 5.5 percent increase,” he said in Cirebon, West Java.

In the meantime, Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan has claimed that transportation services for homeward-bound travelers and revelers during the Ied Fitr holiday this year were far better than during previous years.

The claim was based on transportation services in various parts of the country, he said after monitoring the arrival of Idul Fitri revelers at Kualanamu Airport and Medan Railway Station on Saturday.

In providing transportation services for homeward bound travelers and revelers, the ministry emphasized passengers safety and services, he added.

“Almost all of them (transportation services) showed progress, compared to the previous years,” he noted.(ant)

Guangzhou tourists fly with Sriwijaya Air to Manado MANADO - Sriwijaya Air has carried 189 Chinese tourists in its first flight between Guangzhu, China, to Manado, North Sulawesi in a chartered flight. The Boeing 737 800 NG of the Indonesian airline arrived in Manado in the morning on Saturday, Business Development Senior Manager of Sriwijaya Air Ary Mercyanto said here later in the day.

Ary Mercyanto said the airline planned to open regular flight be-

tween the two cities. “The flights would become regular later this year,” he said.

He said the airline is considering opening direct flight between a number of other cities in China with Manado, adding demand for flights to Manado is high in demand in China.

Manager of International Department of Dongfang International Travel Service Guangzhou, Yu Wenhui, who is among the 189

tourists, became a honorary guest in Manado, he said.

Deputy Governor of North Sulawesi Steven Kandouw, head of the provincial tourist service and Siwijaya Air officials were at the airport to welcome the visitors.

Two other Indonesian airlines Lion Air and Citilink have also made their first direct flight carrying Chinese tourist to Manado. (ant)

Erdogan supporters stand guard as crushed coup bid shakes Turkey

ISTANBUL - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan’s supporters rallied in public squares, at Istanbul airport and outside his palace overnight in a show of defiance after a failed coup attempt killed at least 265 people and raised expectations of a heavy crackdown on dissent.

Rebel soldiers used tanks, attack helicopters and fighter jets to try to topple Erdogan on Friday night, strafing parliament and the intelligence headquarters in Ankara while seizing a bridge and surrounding the airport in Istanbul.

The authorities rounded up nearly 3,000 suspected military plotters, including top commanders and foot soldiers, on Saturday and ordered thousands of judges detained after forces loyal to Erdogan crushed the attempted coup.

“Let’s hang them!” chanted crowds in Ankara’s central Kizilay square late on Saturday.

Erdogan supporters waving Turkish flags also thronged the central Taksim square in Istanbul

- scene of mass anti-government protests three years ago - and a smaller crowd gathered outside the gates of the his vast presidential palace complex in the capital.

For at least eight hours overnight on Friday violence shook Turkey’s two main cities. But the coup attempt crumbled as Erdogan rushed back to Istanbul from a Mediterranean holiday and urged people to take to the streets in support of his government against plotters he accused of trying to kill him.

The violence shocked the nation of almost 80 million, once seen as a model Muslim democracy, where living standards have grown steadily for more than a decade and where the army last used force to stage a successful

coup more than 30 years ago.

It also shattered fragile confidence among Turkey’s allies about security in the NATO member country, a leading member of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State which aspires to membership of the European Union. Turkey had already been hit by repeated suicide bombings over the past year and is struggling to contain an insurgency

by Kurdish separatists.

U.S. President Barack Obama urged parties on all sides of the crisis to avoid destabilising Turkey and follow the rule of law. U.S. authorities banned all airlines from flying from Turkey to the United States, citing continued security concerns, and urged U.S. citizens to reconsider travel to Turkey.

French President Francois Hollande said on Saturday he expected there would be a period of repression in Turkey in the aftermath of the failed coup. (rtr)

Women react near flowers placed in tribute to victims, two days after an attack by the driver of a heavy truck who ran into a crowd on Bastille Day killing scores and injuring as many on the Promenade des Anglais, in Nice, France, July 16, 2016.

French PM says clear that Nice truck driver was radicalised quickly

PARIS - The man behind the truck attack that killed at least 84 people celebrating Bastille Day in the French city of Nice had recently been radicalised, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said in remarks published on Sunday.

Thursday night’s attack in the Riviera city of Nice plunged France into new grief and fear just eight months after gunmen killed 130 people in Paris. Those attacks, and one in Brussels four months ago, shocked Western Europe, already anxious over security challenges from mass immigration, open borders and pockets of Islamist radicalism.

Authorities have yet to produce evidence that the 31 year-old Tunisian Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, shot dead by police, had any links to Islamic State, which claimed the attack, but Valls said there was no doubt on the assailant’s motives.

“The investigation will establish the facts, but we know now that the killer was radicalised very quickly,” Valls said in an interview with Sunday newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche.

“The claim on Saturday morning by Islamic State and the fast radicalisation of the killer confirms the Islamist nature of this attack.”

Officials said on Saturday that people questioned by police had indicated that he had undergone a rapid transformation from someone with no apparent interest in religion.

Relative and friends interviewed in Nice painted a picture of a man who at least until recently drank alcohol, smoked marijuana and according to French media even ate pork, behaviour that would be unlikely in a devout Muslim.

Speaking from his home town in Tunisia, Bouhlel’s sister told Reuters he had been having psychological problems when he left for France in 2005 and had sought medical treatment.

As authorities were trying to better understand his motives, two more people, a man and a woman close to Bouhlel, were arrested in Nice early on Sunday, bringing the number of people in detention over the killings to seven. (rtr)

NADOs, some athletes want total Russia ban if doping report damning

MONACO - Several anti-doping agencies, including those of the United States and Canada, want a complete ban on Russia competing at the Rio Olympics if next week’s key report into allegations of state-backed doping at the 2014 Sochi winter Olympics is damning, they said on Saturday.

Russia’s track and field athletes are already banned from competing at next month’s Olympics by the world governing International Association of Athletics’ Federations (IAAF) over widespread doping in the sport.

In a leaked draft letter addressed to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which will be sent once the report into Sochi led by Canadian law professor Richard McLaren is presented on Monday, United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart calls for a ban on all Russian athletes, not just in track and field.

“We write on behalf of a community of clean athletes and anti-doping organizations with faith that the IOC can lead the way forward by upholding the principles of Olympics,” said the draft letter signed

by Tygart and Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports (CCES) CEO Paul Melia.

“Therefore, consistent with the Principles, Charter and Code we request that the IOC Executive Board take the action to suspend the Russian Olympic and Paralympic Committee from participating in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. “The only appropriate, and permissible, course of action in these unprecedented circumstances is for the IOC to immediately suspend the Russian Olympic and Paralympic Committees from the Olympic Movement.... and declare that no athlete can represent Russia at the Rio Olympic Games.”

CCES chief Melia said the draft letter was backed by other anti-doping agencies. (rtr) Pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva embraces General Secretary of Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) Mikhail Butov after her attempt.

LONDON - Croatia kept alive their Davis Cup hopes when Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig won their doubles match in four sets against the United States in Oregon on Saturday.

Cilic was not expected to play doubles, but was drafted in at the last minute after Croatia lost both singles rubbers on Friday to slip to the brink of elimination.

And the 2014 U.S. Open singles champion teamed up superbly with Dodig against American doubles specialists the Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike, winning 6-2 2-6 6-2 6-4 in Portland.

Sp rt Belgium want proven international coach to replace Wilmots

BRUSSELS - Belgium will look to appoint a coach with proven international experience, their Football Association said as they begin the search to replace Marc Wilmots.

Former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has been linked with the job and Belgian FA president Francois de Keersmaecker said he would be a “potential candidate” if he chose to apply.

The world’s number two ranked team began the task of searching for a new coach after Wilmots was sacked in the wake of Belgium’s Euro 2016 quarter-final exit to underdogs Wales.

An exacting criteria has been put in place by the Belgian FA (KBVB), whose technical director Chris van Puyvelde said on Friday they were looking for someone to get the most from a “special generation” of players.

“It’s an open process; I expect my mailbox is going to be flooded,” said Puyvelde, who will oversee the selection process.

“We want a candidate to have experience and to have already

achieved results in international football. He must play modern football. He must show tactical acumen and flexibility to adapt because no one game or no opponent are ever the same. He must also deliver a high-performance environment because the players he is working with are used to working at a high level.

“We have a special generation and they need to be allowed to also take decisions of their own.”

Belgium’s Euro 2016 squad featured some of Europe’s best talents such as Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard, keeper Thibaut Courtois and Manchester City winger Kevin de Bruyne, yet they exited meekly in a 3-1 defeat to Wales. “We also want someone who is an open communicator,” added van Puyvelde.

“It does not have to be a Belgian.

We are in an open process. I think we will get top candidates because

Barca criticized for supporting Messi after fraud verdict

BARCELONA — Barcelona has drawn widespread criticism for its campaign to support Lionel Messi after a court found the Argentine forward and his father guilty of tax fraud.

Barcelona launched its social media campaign following last week’s court verdict that found Messi and his father guilty of defrauding the Spanish state of 4.1 million euros ($4.6 million). Neither man is expected to go to jail despite being sentenced to 21 months in prison because courts in Spain often suspend sentences under two years for first-time offenders.

The slogan “We Are All Leo Messi” is a play on the public awareness campaign by Spain’s tax authorities “We Are All The Tax Office.” That is meant to encourage people to pay their due in a country still struggling to recover from an economic recession that has left unemployment at more than 20 percent.

“The campaign invites all of Barcelona’s fans to show the best player in the world their unconditional support,” Barcelona said. “We want to transmit to Leo that he isn’t alone.”

The club also posted a video of several dozen of its employees gathered together with hands raised in a show of support for Messi.

Widely panned in Spanish newspapers and online, Barcelona’s campaign has earned a rebuke from

we are number two in the world.”

Former international goalkeeper Michel Preud’homme, who led Club Bruges to the Belgian championship in May, was among the early favourites. His club president ruled him out of the running, however, saying he would have to respect his contract with Bruges.

At a news conference on Friday where Wilmots’ departure was confirmed, a reporter asked KBVB president Francois De Keersmaecker if Van Gaal, who was sacked by Manchester United in May, was a candidate for the job. “Van Gaal might be a potential candidate,” De Keersmaecker said.

“We will see if he puts himself forward as a candidate. If he does then we will evaluate his candidacy.”

The KBVB have said they want the new coach in place by Sept.

Spain’s government.

“I am not Leo Messi. I haven’t committed a fiscal crime,” acting Justice Minister Rafael Catala said Thursday.

The president of Spain’s Higher Sports Council, the country’s leading sports authority, has also blasted the league champions for their rally call.

“If the campaign intends to make a complaint of some type against the judicial ruling, then it is completely incorrect,” council president Miguel Cardenal said. “We have to respect and honor the (court’s) decision.

You can’t have campaigns of this type in order to disagree with a court ruling.”

A worker’s union that represents Spanish tax inspectors has asked Barcelona to end the campaign, calling it “irresponsible.”

“The best thing for the club and the player would have been to accept the ruling and move on,” said Carlos Cruzado, the president of the union Gestha. “But this campaign . is destroying the educational work that must be carried out to make citizens conscientious (of their fiscal responsibilities.)”

Messi and his father deny any wrongdoing and have said they will appeal the verdict to a higher court in Madrid.

While his club has launched its campaign to back him, photos of

Messi spending his vacation on a yacht have appeared this week in Spanish newspapers. Those photos of Messi soaking up the sun in a bathing suit have spawned several jokes on social media about how he must be “suffering.” The spokesman for Barcelona’s board of directors, Josep Vives, has defended both Messi and the club’s campaign.

“In similar cases, we haven’t seen attacks like those Leo Messi is receiving,” Vives said. “It’s obvious that we can’t tolerate this derision of our player.

“We have found ourselves in a controversy because it appears that FC Barcelona is defending tax fraud.

What we are defending is a person that is being treated unjustly.” Besides his club, the Spanish league’s president has also said he believes Messi is innocent.

“I hope that the Supreme Court revokes the ruling because Messi is not a delinquent and shouldn’t be found guilty,” league president Javier Tebas said. “I have interpreted the campaign as meaning that Messi shouldn’t worry, and so he knows that his club is with him.” Messi is not the only player to have gotten into trouble over taxes.

Russia’s track and field athletes are already banned from competing at next month’s Olympics by the world governing International Association of Athletics’ Federations (IAAF) over widespread doping in the sport.

In a leaked draft letter addressed to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which will be sent once the report into Sochi led by Canadian law professor Richard McLaren is presented on Monday, United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart calls for a ban on all Russian athletes, not just in track and field.

“We write on behalf of a community of clean athletes and anti-doping organizations with faith that the IOC can lead the way forward by upholding the principles of Olympics,” said the draft letter signed

by Tygart and Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports (CCES) CEO Paul Melia.

“Therefore, consistent with the Principles, Charter and Code we request that the IOC Executive Board take the action to suspend the Russian Olympic and Paralympic Committee from participating in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. “The only appropriate, and permissible, course of action in these unprecedented circumstances is for the IOC to immediately suspend the Russian Olympic and Paralympic Committees from the Olympic Movement.... and declare that no athlete can represent Russia at the Rio Olympic Games.”

CCES chief Melia said the draft letter was backed by other anti-doping agencies. (rtr) Pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva embraces General Secretary of Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) Mikhail Butov after her attempt.

LONDON - Croatia kept alive their Davis Cup hopes when Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig won their doubles match in four sets against the United States in Oregon on Saturday.

Cilic was not expected to play doubles, but was drafted in at the last minute after Croatia lost both singles rubbers on Friday to slip to the brink of elimination.

And the 2014 U.S. Open singles champion teamed up superbly with Dodig against American doubles specialists the Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike, winning 6-2 2-6 6-2 6-4 in Portland.

“I played probably the best match in my life in Pete Christopher/The Oregonian via AP doubles, especially at this kind of occasion,” Cilic Croatia’s Ivan Dodig, right, and Marin Cilic react during a win over told Tennis Channel.

Erdogan supporters stand guard as crushed coup bid shakes Turkey

ISTANBUL - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan’s supporters rallied in public squares, at Istanbul airport and outside his palace overnight in a show of defiance after a failed coup attempt killed at least 265 people and raised expectations of a heavy crackdown on dissent.

Rebel soldiers used tanks, attack helicopters and fighter jets to try to topple Erdogan on Friday night, strafing parliament and the intelligence headquarters in Ankara while seizing a bridge and surrounding the airport in Istanbul.

The authorities rounded up nearly 3,000 suspected military plotters, including top commanders and foot soldiers, on Saturday and ordered thousands of judges detained after forces loyal to Erdogan crushed the attempted coup.

“Let’s hang them!” chanted crowds in Ankara’s central Kizilay square late on Saturday.

Erdogan supporters waving Turkish flags also thronged the central Taksim square in Istanbul

- scene of mass anti-government protests three years ago - and a smaller crowd gathered outside the gates of the his vast presidential palace complex in the capital.

For at least eight hours overnight on Friday violence shook Turkey’s two main cities. But the coup attempt crumbled as Erdogan rushed back to Istanbul from a Mediterranean holiday and urged people to take to the streets in support of his government against plotters he accused of trying to kill him.

The violence shocked the nation of almost 80 million, once seen as a model Muslim democracy, where living standards have grown steadily for more than a decade and where the army last used force to stage a successful

coup more than 30 years ago.

It also shattered fragile confidence among Turkey’s allies about security in the NATO member country, a leading member of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State which aspires to membership of the European Union. Turkey had already been hit by repeated suicide bombings over the past year and is struggling to contain an insurgency

by Kurdish separatists.

U.S. President Barack Obama urged parties on all sides of the crisis to avoid destabilising Turkey and follow the rule of law. U.S. authorities banned all airlines from flying from Turkey to the United States, citing continued security concerns, and urged U.S. citizens to reconsider travel to Turkey.

French President Francois Hollande said on Saturday he expected there would be a period of repression in Turkey in the aftermath of the failed coup. (rtr)

Women react near flowers placed in tribute to victims, two days after an attack by the driver of a heavy truck who ran into a crowd on Bastille Day killing scores and injuring as many on the Promenade des Anglais, in Nice, France, July 16, 2016.

French PM says clear that Nice truck driver was radicalised quickly

PARIS - The man behind the truck attack that killed at least 84 people celebrating Bastille Day in the French city of Nice had recently been radicalised, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said in remarks published on Sunday.

Thursday night’s attack in the Riviera city of Nice plunged France into new grief and fear just eight months after gunmen killed 130 people in Paris. Those attacks, and one in Brussels four months ago, shocked Western Europe, already anxious over security challenges from mass immigration, open borders and pockets of Islamist radicalism.

Authorities have yet to produce evidence that the 31 year-old Tunisian Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, shot dead by police, had any links to Islamic State, which claimed the attack, but Valls said there was no doubt on the assailant’s motives.

“The investigation will establish the facts, but we know now that the killer was radicalised very quickly,” Valls said in an interview with Sunday newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche.

“The claim on Saturday morning by Islamic State and the fast radicalisation of the killer confirms the Islamist nature of this attack.”

Officials said on Saturday that people questioned by police had indicated that he had undergone a rapid transformation from someone with no apparent interest in religion.

Relative and friends interviewed in Nice painted a picture of a man who at least until recently drank alcohol, smoked marijuana and according to French media even ate pork, behaviour that would be unlikely in a devout Muslim.

Speaking from his home town in Tunisia, Bouhlel’s sister told Reuters he had been having psychological problems when he left for France in 2005 and had sought medical treatment.

As authorities were trying to better understand his motives, two more people, a man and a woman close to Bouhlel, were arrested in Nice early on Sunday, bringing the number of people in detention over the killings to seven. (rtr)

Over 790 thousand leave Jakarta by trains during Lebaran season

Brexit minister: Some EU migrants may have to leave UK

LONDON — Some European Union citizens may not be allowed to stay in Britain after the U.K. leaves the bloc, the U.K. minister in charge of negotiating the divorce has said. Brexit Secretary David Davis told the Mail on Sunday newspaper that he wants “a generous settlement for EU migrants here now and a generous settlement for British citizens in the EU.”

He dismissed suggestions the estimated 3 million EU nationals in Britain might have to leave, but said if there was a surge in arrivals before the deadline, the British government may have to set a cutoff date.

“We may have to say that the right to indefinite leave to remain protection only applies before a certain date,” he said. “But you have to make those judgments on reality, not speculation.”

A desire to reduce immigration from other EU nations was a key reason many Britons voted last month to leave the EU. Under the bloc’s rules, EU nationals can move feely among member states, and Britain has seen its population swelled by hundreds of thousands of new EU arrivals in recent years.

British Prime Minister Theresa May has been criticized for refusing to guarantee the right of EU citizens to remain in Britain after a British exit — something that is more than two years away. She says she needs to ensure that hundreds of thousands of Britons living in other EU countries get the same right.

Britain’s vote to leave the EU has unleashed political and economic turmoil, as people and markets absorb the uncertainties about the country’s economic future as it leaves the 28-nation single market of 500 million people.

Davis said he believes Britain will be able to retain access to the single market while opting out of the EU’s right to free move-

EU leaders say that’s impossible, that the free movement of people is a key right, but Davis said “everybody is taking starting positions.”

“Of course they are talking tough,” he said.

“If I was negotiating to buy your house or your car my first offer wouldn’t be my final

one, would it?”

Meanwhile, the government is seeking to reassure Britons that the U.K. can build strong and profitable trade ties outside the EU. May said she spoke Saturday to Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who

expressed a desire for a free trade deal with Britain as soon as possible.

“It is very encouraging that one of our closest international partners is already seeking to establish just such a deal,” May said — although Britain can’t make any new arrangements until it actually leaves the EU.(ap)

Turkmenistan abolishes agencies managing key gas industry

ASHGABAT — Turkmenistan, which holds the world’s fourth-largest natural gas reserves that are the base of its economy, has abolished two of the primary government agencies responsible for the sector.

The government newspaper Neutral Turkmenistan on Saturday said President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov had ordered the disbanding of the Ministry of Oil and Gas and the State Agency For Managing Hydrocarbon

Resources.

The report said the move is aimed at improving management of the sector. But it could also reflect budget concerns amid low world prices for gas. Turkmenistan depends on gas exports for about one-third of its GDP. Turkmenistan is the prime mover in the effort to build a gas pipeline that will serve Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.(ap)

MEDAN - The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation has instructed operators and management of airports in the country to boost airport security to prevent any eventuality, including smuggling of goods.

On the sidelines of his visit to Kualanamu airport in Medan, North Sumatra, Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan said he had issued a number of instructions and requested measures to be taken to increase security at airports.

For some reason he was unable to explain about them, he said. “I could not explain them in detail to you,” he said to newsmen.

He hoped community members would help support the governments efforts by reporting to the authorities anything suspicious.

“They must report to the security authorities if they see anything suspicious,” he said.

When asked about the long queues that would occur due to

tightening of checks, the minister said, he hoped people would understand. “For the sake of everyone’s security, if you have to queue up you must,” he said.

During the ministers visit, a number of military personnel were seen standing guard in front of the airport.

Besides tactical vehicles, the Mobile Brigade of the North Sumatra regional police command has also made available a bomb-defusing vehicle at the location.(ant)

In a press release on Saturday, Bambang said that of the number, some 257,874 were transported from the Gambir Railway Station 504,180 from the Pasar Senen Station and 28.068 from other stations in the capital city.

President Director of Railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), Edi Sukmoro, said previously predicted that this year, about 5.3 million travelers will use trains as their mode of transportation to go to their home towns.

“Last year, the number of train passengers during the Lebaran travel period had reached 5.1 million. If this year the number of passengers using trains reaches 5.3 million, it would mean a 5.5 percent increase,” he said in Cirebon, West Java.

In the meantime, Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan has claimed that transportation services for homeward-bound travelers and revelers during the Ied Fitr holiday this year were far better than during previous years.

The claim was based on transportation services in various parts of the country, he said after monitoring the arrival of Idul Fitri revelers at Kualanamu Airport and Medan Railway Station on Saturday.

In providing transportation services for homeward bound travelers and revelers, the ministry emphasized passengers safety and services, he added.

“Almost all of them (transportation services) showed progress, compared to the previous years,” he noted.(ant)

Guangzhou tourists fly with Sriwijaya Air to Manado MANADO - Sriwijaya Air has carried 189 Chinese tourists in its first flight between Guangzhu, China, to Manado, North Sulawesi in a chartered flight. The Boeing 737 800 NG of the Indonesian airline arrived in Manado in the morning on Saturday, Business Development Senior Manager of Sriwijaya Air Ary Mercyanto said here later in the day.

Ary Mercyanto said the airline planned to open regular flight be-

tween the two cities. “The flights would become regular later this year,” he said.

He said the airline is considering opening direct flight between a number of other cities in China with Manado, adding demand for flights to Manado is high in demand in China.

Manager of International Department of Dongfang International Travel Service Guangzhou, Yu Wenhui, who is among the 189

tourists, became a honorary guest in Manado, he said.

Deputy Governor of North Sulawesi Steven Kandouw, head of the provincial tourist service and Siwijaya Air officials were at the airport to welcome the visitors.

Two other Indonesian airlines Lion Air and Citilink have also made their first direct flight carrying Chinese tourist to Manado. (ant)

In cremation season, bade tower maker flooded by orders

KLUNGKUNG - Cremation season has brought in a blessing for bade tower maker and sarcophagus means in Klungkung. This condition is also experienced by Nyoman Sudiasa. The man opening his business at Takmung village admitted to be flooded with the order during the cremation season this time. During normal days, he only gets two orders, but now he can get up to ten orders.

When met at his business premises, Sudiasa said that every cremation season, the order of bade tower and other sarcophagus means increases sharply by more than 100 percent.

But on the contrary, if the cremation season ends, the order will be sluggish back. This artisan from Tusan village, Banjarangkan, said that beyond the season of cremation he usually receives two to three orders. But during the current cremation season his order can reach eight to ten bade towers. “On average, every cremation season falling in July-August my order will increase,” he explained.

To do the whole bade and sarcophagus means coming to him, he admitted to be unable to accomplish them alone. So, to complete the order on time, he takes at least 12 artisans at his workshop.

The main raw materials used for the making of bade tower and sarcophagus means are the wood of ylangylang, silk tree and ferry silk. He said that apart from the mainland territory in Klungkung, the order of bade tower and sarcophagus means like ox, wadah and others also come from the region of Nusa Penida. Moreover, he also frequently receives orders from outside the district such as Karangasem, Negara to Lombok.

He sets the price at IDR 10 million for each unit of bade tower, ox-style sarcophagus at IDR 4-5 million and wadah at IDR 6 million per unit. “For a full package, I usually sell for IDR 31 million,” he explained. He also added that the price is adjusted to the decoration style and distance of delivery. (kmb40)

A Tuwed resident dies of rabies

IBP/net

In 2016, there have been 1,415 cases of dog bites. Of the thousands of cases, it was the only victim bite at Tuwed that could not be overcome.

NEGARA - A resident of Taman hamlet, Tuwed, died of rabies positive case. Ni Komang Sastrawati, 36, was bitten by a dog few months ago that later on known to have been infected by rabies.

Husband of the victim, I Gede Sukayasa, 40, said on Friday (Jul. 15) that his wife was bitten by a dog and already taken to Melaya health center.

However, during the treatment she did not get anti-rabies vaccine (VAR). From his confession to reporters, at that time his wife was checked up to the health center because of getting fever. Having been checked, his wife was allowed to go home. A few moments later, the victim got fever again and was eventually taken to Negara Hospital.

After that, the victim was referred to Sanglah Hospital on the same day. When arriving at Sanglah Hospital, the victim was known to have died and positive to rabies. His wife was actually bitten by a dog early April. At that time, the victim went to Berawan Tangi hamlet, Tuwed. After bitten by the dog at victim’s leg instep, she was taken to health center on the same day. The wound was already cleaned and bandaged. However, she was not given anti-rabies vaccine. He was disappointed because he was just let know after his wife was indicated to be infected by rabies at Sanglah Hospital.

In the meantime, Chief of the Jembrana Health

Agency, I Putu Suasta, justified that clinically the victim’s death was declared positive to rabies.

According to Suasta, the victim is the third victim that died of rabies in Jembrana since 2008. In 2016, there have been 1,415 cases of dog bites. Of the thousands of cases, it was the only victim bite at Tuwed that could not be overcome. Allegedly there was lost control on the victim and the biting dog.

From the data at the health center, the victim was bitten by a local pet dog on April 19. In appropriate with the standard operating procedures, the health officer provided patient a monitoring and information card carrying the latest information whether the dog is dead or alive. The time was 14 days and on day 15 she should return the card. However, after having been waited by the officers, the monitoring card of the dog bite was not returned. So, it was unknown whether the dog was dead or alive. The card is used to determine the subsequent handling including the provision of anti-rabies vaccine.

From the information obtained, after biting the victim, the dog went away and no one knew where the carcass was. According to Suasta, the anti-rabies vaccine stock in Jembrana remains in safe condition, but the administration is done selectively. (kmb26)

Somsak was “just a kid, not a big-time dealer”, his older brother Panit told Reuters after a visit to the jail. “We’re also serving time, waiting for him to get out so he can help the family.”

More than a decade after Thailand declared a “war on drugs”, the country is admitting defeat. As the prison population soars, Justice Minister Paiboon Koomchaya told Reuters he was looking at changes to the country’s draconian drug laws.

“I want to de-classify methamphetamine but Thailand is not ready yet,” said Paiboon, meaning downgrading the drug, popularly known as “meth”, from a Category 1 substance, which would reduce jail time for possession or dealing.

Use of methamphetamine is spiralling across Southeast Asia, and authorities are struggling to respond.

In the Philippines, which has some of the highest rates of “meth” use, police killings of drug suspects have spiked since the swearing-in of President Rodrigo Duterte, elected on a platform of harsh measures to wipe out drug crime.

Myanmar, the source of much of the drugs flooding through the region, is bracing for an explosion in domestic use.

Overall, drugs supply in Southeast Asia, especially of methamphetamine, is at a record level, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). (rtr)

Vietnamese protesters detained for rapping China over S.China Sea case

HANOI - About 20 Vietnamese demonstrators were detained on Sunday while trying to hold a protest against China’s rejection of an international court decision that denied its vast claims in the South China Sea. The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, deciding a case lodged by the Philippines, ruled last week that China’s ninedash line denoting its territory, illustrated in a U-shape on Chinese maps, was illegal and breached Manila’s sovereign rights. Beijing has called the case a farce.

The demonstrators, some wearing T-shirts with the slogan “No-U”, were forced by unknown men into buses and cars that were waiting for them around Hanoi’s historic Hoan Kiem lake, Reuters witnesses said.

Vietnam has its own sovereignty disputes with China, but has been reserved in its comments on last week’s verdict, welcoming it but not saying if Hanoi would pursue the same

legal path as the Philippines.

Vietnam’s communist government is sensitive about anti-China sentiment among its people, many of whom welcomed the Philippines’ legal victory.

China claims most of the energy-rich waters through which about $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also have claims.

Also on Sunday, a separate group of Vietnamese demonstrators held a rally that lasted less than one minute in front of the Philippines embassy in Hanoi.

The nearly 10 people in the group hopped onto scooters and fled to evade arrest as police approached.

Their signs read “China you must comply REUTERS/Kham with international law” and “Thank you Philippines, you have a brave government.” A policeman tries to stop anti-China protesters holding placards during a dem(rtr) onstration in front of the Philippines embassy in Hanoi, Vietnam July 17, 2016.

Down and dirty! South Korea’s most popular festival

SEOUL - A picture of a man being splashed in the face with a wave of mud marks the start of the Mud Festival in Boryeong in South Korea.

Mud taken from the Boryeong mud flats, 200km south of Seoul, South Korea, and driven over to the Daecheon beach area, is turned into a Mud wonderland and is considered to be rich in minerals used to manufacture cosmetics in the country.

The festival was originally conceived as a marketing tool for Boryeong mud cosmetics in 1998 although over time has become a popular past time for visitors and locals in the area.

Six images represent some of the highlights of the festival which spans across two weeks in July including wrestling, mud pools and people painting their faces with the

nutrient rich sludge.

Marking its 18th anniversary on July 15 the festival was hoped to allow people to learn more about the mud and the cosmetics that are made from it.

Although the festival was not without controversy, when a group 230 school children that attended the festival in 2009 developed a skin rash after contact with the mud.

But despite the backlash the festival continues and has been chosen the ultimate destination for those enjoying their summer in South Korean this year.

The festival will run from July 15 to July 24 and has been described as Korea’s ‘most popular summer festivals’ hoping to draw in another crowd of over a million people to Daecheon Beach.

Hesitation of students’ parent to send their children to this school is quite reasonable. They include the quite alarming condition of the buildings and the lack of library and sport facilities.

People unwilling to send their children to SDN 2 Keramas Education Agency still investigates

GIANYAR - Many factors have caused grievances of people, so that they are reluctant to entrust their children to be educated at the SDN 2 Keramas elementary school such as the condition of school buildings, management up to the individual teachers. In the meantime, the Education Agency is still making an investigation and finds a solution to this problem.

At Keramas village, there are four public schools and one private school. The SDN 2 Keramas located at Gelgel hamlet is geographically quite close to other schools such as the SDN 1 Keramas at Lebah hamlet and SDN 4 Keramas at Dia hamlet, Keramas village.

Hesitation of students’ parent to send their children to this school is quite reasonable. They include the quite alarming condition of the

buildings and the lack of library and sport facilities.

Gelgel hamlet chief, Keramas village, Putu Agus Sutanaya, said on Wednesday (Jul. 13) that the SDN 2 Keramas that has not got new students to date is a protracted problem.

His authority had repeatedly made an approach to the people regarding the school condition, but they still refuse due to a number of reasons.

“When making an approach to

residents, they gave a number of reasons. For example, a student of Gelgel hamlet has elder brother or sister having attended elementary school at the SDN 1 or SDN 4 Keramas, their younger one will surely request to attend the same school. At the same time, it is impossible for their parents to let their children attend school alone at the SDN 2 Keramas,” he explained.

Another reason of parents is that some of the former teachers at the SDN 2 Keramas were not trusted by local residents. The teachers did not give maximal attention to students because they were busy with their personal businesses. Finally students’ parents were furious because

TABANAN - Although the dissemination on HIV has been frequently held, discrimination of people with HIV in Tabanan remains to happen. Some time ago, people in Tabanan even did not want to bathe one of the residents known to be infected with HIV. His body was placed under the bale gede (pavilion) and on the bale gede as it should be.

To resolve this issue, the AIDS Mitigation Commission (KPA) of Tabanan in cooperation with the Tabanan Health Agency came down to the field and provided insight for people that HIV transmission is not easy and not contagious just by touching or bathing the corpse of HIV sufferer.

It was stated by the Secretary of KPA Tabanan, I Ketut Randem, Wednesday (Jul. 13). According to him, such discrimination incident does not only occur once in Tabanan, especially when bathing corpse. People immediately do not want to do it when knowing if the late was previously a HIV patient. He added that HIV can only transmit through fluid exchange like blood and the most commonly happening today is through semen or sexual intercourse. In addition, it must be through an intermediary in the form of wound. “So, do not be afraid if you are just holding or touching the patient or the body of people with HIV,” he said.

Aside from discrimination when people died, discrimination against people with HIV remaining alive is still going on. Randem told that there was a case in Tabanan where a HIV sufferer was ostracized by the family. Or a child whose parents suffer from HIV was rejected by a school due to the demand of other students’ parents. “The child is innocent, why it must be excluded as well?” said Randem.

Randem recognized if the discrimination shows that there are people having minimal knowledge about HIV particularly regarding how it is passed on to people.

Actually the KPA Tabanan has disseminated it frequently at schools, villages or PKK organizations.

their children were abandoned.

“At that time, the school output was poor. However, a few years ago, teachers were already replaced with the new ones that are younger, more creative and innovative. Nevertheless, public confidence still does not recover,” he said.

Together with the principal, the younger teachers have attempted to make an innovative breakthrough so as to attract the interest of residents.

For instance, the teachers visit students’ house and invite them to learn together. But so far, this effort seems not to give satisfying results.

According to Sutanaya, in this case the village authority needs to establish a zoning, so that the

school will not receive students from outside their zoning. “However, it still needs to be discussed at the village meeting, whether the zoning determination can be applied,” he said.

In the meantime, the Head of the Gianyar Education Agency, Made Suradnya, claimed to still conduct an investigation regarding the condition of the SDN 2 Keramas. When asked whether his agency would conduct an institutional transfer to the school, this former head of the BKD Gianyar is unable to provide certainty. “Obviously we will investigate it first and then the result will be discussed beforehand with the leadership,” he said. (kmb35)

Discrimination of HIV patients still occurs in Tabanan According to him, currently HIV does not only threaten people with high risk factors such as drug users and sex workers having multiple partners but also threatening people with low risk factors such as housewife that never goes anywhere and even children.

“These housewives are even transmitted by their husband liking to use the services of commercial sex workers. After infecting their wife, it will transmit to her baby in the wife’s womb,” said Randem.

HIV transmission to people with low risk factor happens because it has now been dominated by the medium of sexual intercourse.

Thus, for those with high risk factor like having multiple partners

or using the services of prostitutes will be passing the virus to their wife at home.

Not only that, the current HIV patients commencing to be suffered by productive age range of 20-29 years amounting to 266 people and aged 30-39 years amounting to 282 people indicate that school children are also in the danger of HIV infection due to having early sexual intercourse or other risk factor such as drug use.

“The age range of 20-29 years can be assumed to have been infected with HIV five years earlier or at school age. As a result, school-age children are currently having the potential to be threatened by HIV,” said Randem. (kmb24)

COVER STORY Farming...

From page 1

The discussion in a series of the event entitled ‘Bali Farmers Agribusiness Gathering’ held by the Bali Post Media Group was also filled with product sales promotion.

“It is said that soybean farmers received IDR 8 million in each harvest. If there are harvests a year, it totally reaches IDR 24 million per hectare, excluding production cost and others. Then, how can we encourage young generations to farm?” asked Sumarjaya Linggih familiarly called Demer.

Nevertheless, Demer considered the business trend in the future lies in economic sharing or collaborative business. Marketing of agricultural products can be done via the internet. It is no longer done conventionally requiring more expensive costs. However, Demer is still doubt about the parties or people wishing to bridge farmers with the experts in such marketing policy. They also include the experts in the field of agricultural technology to optimize the dormant land or improve the quality of their products.

“I think there is still a gap remaining to happen at the village. Especially at my village, I try to check there is unemployed agricultural bachelor. On the other hand, there are empty paddy fields of farmers, so that it sounds ineffective. They

(bachelor of agriculture and farmers) can be said to need each other.

However, who is going to start moving into the collaborative business or economic sharing that could make them meet?” he asked.

According to Demer, farmers must be made smarter in order to have economic value in the long term. Here, the government’s intervention is very much needed because the average farmers are still less educated. At the very least, the government should provide good seed subsidies for farmers other than making a regulation to protect them.

Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) of Bali, A.A. Ngurah Alit Wiraputra, agreed when the concern of the government and private sector are also needed in the agricultural development. Agricultural subsidies should be given as much as possible by the government. He even expected that allocation of funds for agriculture in the regional budget could be improved.

“Usually in the provincial government, the budget for the increase in agricultural subsidies is very small and I have heard from the head of the agricultural agency if the allocation of funds is indeed very small for the sector. How can farmers grow if they are not given incentives? At least, the government set up a seed,” he said.

Wiraputra added that farmers would be willing to continuously

participate in agricultural activities when receiving greater support from the government. Likewise, private sector is ready to purchase agricultural products of farmers.

He ensured that private sector is ready to support the post-harvest activities as well as motivate young people wishing to farm.

“To draw the interest of our young generations to farm, they should be adequately motivated that becoming a farmer is no longer dirty. Being a modern farmer can be clean and looks prestigious. As overseas, farmers indeed look nice and have high purchasing power,” he explained.

On the other hand, added Wiraputra, the agriculture in Bali should be developed with the concept of the desa kala patra or adjusted to local condition. A given area should produce a specific agricultural product, or what the so-called “One Village, One Product.” So, one village, for example, develops a superior product only.

“How can we realize this? Yesterday I was visited by Consul General of Japan doing things that we have not done and being conducted by the Faculty of Agriculture, Udayana University, namely researching our land. For instance, what plant is appropriate to be cultivated in Karangasem, Bedugul, Singaraja, and other region,” he said.

Having been classified by district, continued Wiraputra, in fact

the potential of soil in Bali is outstanding. In Baturiti subdistrict (Tabanan), for example, is specifically good for the cultivation of strawberry and lettuce. Then, at Jatiluwih is now being studied for the cultivation of agricultural products other than rice.

“Similarly, we’ll look for other products in other areas. However, it is also important for us to know about the characteristic of our agricultural land, so that we cannot grow haphazardly,” he explained.

Regional Leader of BNI Denpasar, AAG Agung Darmawan, said that banking institution has always been considered to have the farthest alignment from farmers. But he ascertained that under the leadership of President Joko Widodo with Nawacita (nine agendas) the move starts from the periphery or rural areas.

“I am sure the banking institution in Indonesia like BNI will not be far from farmers. Well, at first in terms of farmers, when banks talk about farmers, we usually do not talk about farmers but entrepreneurs. Farmers have been taken into account, no longer dirty and so on.

But especially for BNI, we’d like to transform farmers into agribusiness entrepreneurs,” he said.

He added that the most important things in the economic aspect are finance and marketing.

Chiefly related to financing, the current government has adopted the people’s business credit (KUR) with the interest of nine percent. In

relatively short time, the interest will be lowered again. But for the BNI, it is not only enough because what is needed is creating more ‘markets’ to help the marketing of farmers.

“For us, when marketing has developed, the demand will increase, so that production will automatically rise and the financing runs smoothly. Now, the sales can no longer be done conventionally through physical shops and markets. BNI makes a mall on the website,” he explained.

He also explained that his institution has discussed about the plan of making a virtual mall with the regent of Gianyar, Klungkung and Bangli. Actually, the plan is not sufficiently realized by the districts but will be more appropriate if made into Bali Mall in cyberspace.

Such a virtual mall has been created

by Banyuwangi under the name of Banyuwangi Mall.

“Why does Bali not make it?

This is what we intend to help so that the agricultural production, tourism, and others are outside.

Bali can be said to have all of them.

Discussion on agriculture has been made since the elementary school and Bali has subak (irrigation cooperative) and we cannot find this elsewhere. I have been outside the region and all people know about Bali. So, we should sell this, marketing should be the avant-garde and we at the BNI is ready to help,” he said. (kmb32)

Farmers need to be bridged DENPASAR People need to be motivated so that they want to continuously pursue the agricultural sector.

Moreover in this era, becoming a farmer cannot simply defend idealism. In this case, it is meant to keep farming and preserving valuable Balinese culture. But more than that, the agriculture must also provide economic prosperity for the players.

It was conveyed by a member of House of Representatives of Bali constituency, Gde Sumarjaya Linggih, in a discussion on agriculture with the players of agribusiness, analysts, academicians, banks and businessmen at Bale Banjar Bali Global Shankara, Sanur, Denpasar.

Pitbull says he is not supporting Trump

LOS ANGELES - Rapper Pitbull had harsh words for Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Friday, telling reporters that he is not supporting the candidate and describing his campaign as a “joke.”

“I think the [Trump’s] campaign is a joke to be honest with you. I think that it’s unfortunate the way we’re being viewed around the world due to some people’s approaches,” the Cuban-American

rapper said. Pitbull, real name Armando Perez, was speaking on the sidelines of a ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, where he was honored with a star plaque for his contri-

butions to the music recording industry.

Pitbull’s comments on Trump came after a report in Vanity Fair magazine that the Miami-born rapper had met with the Republican nominee in Florida.

“Am I supporting Donald Trump?

No I am not supporting Donald Trump. You all know this already very well,” said Pitbull. (rtr)

Indonesia orders overhaul of drug agency after fake vaccine scandal

The Food and Drugs Agency JAKARTA - Indonesia on Friday ordered an immediate overhaul of the food and drug monitoring agency, a month after (FDA) has come under particular police uncovered a syndicate selling fake imported child vaccines fire after officials said they were aware of the fake vaccine problem to hospitals, pharmacies and clinics over the past decade.

The scandal sparked a public uproar and exposed major government deficiencies in ensuring drug safety amid a boom in Indonesia’s health industry.

Investigators continue to unravel how widespread the reach of a drugmaking ring that sold fake booster vaccines for hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough to health facilities in Jakarta and the

island of Java.

No illnesses or deaths have been directly linked to the fake vaccines.

“We can’t be half-hearted with this vaccine problem, and yesterday the president decided to immediately restructure the (food and drug agency)” Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung said in a statement.

“With this we hope that this kind of thing won’t be repeated.”

as early as 2013. But little was done until a police investigation earlier this year exposed the syndicate, leading to at least 18 arrests so far.

Under pressure from parliament, the health ministry on Thursday published the names of 14 more health facilities around Jakarta that administered the fake vaccines, prompting crowds of parents at hospitals demanding information on whether their children were victims.

Health authorities have sought to reassure parents that the fake vaccines were not harmful and their children could get re-vaccinated under a government programme to be launched next week.

Police uncovered the syndicate after a pharmacist in Bekasi, near Jakarta, was arrested in May for selling medicine without a licence.

The drugs turned out to be fake and led to the arrest of more than a dozen distributors and makers of the fake vaccines. Investigators said they were also questioning doctors and hospital managers in the case.

“In some cases, directors signed the purchases of these vaccines, which means we need to evaluate management,” Health Minister Nila Moeloek told MetroTV. “We must be thorough. We have to finish this.”(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.
