Scorpène, Kapal Selam Baru Andalan TLDM
Intrik Dibalik pembelian Scorpene

Pada Oktober 2008, KD Tunku Abdul Rahman (KD TAR) resmi diluncurkan dari dry dock DCNS di Cherbourg oleh istri Wakil Perdana Menteri Tun Najib Razak, yakni Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.

Saat itu seremoni acara peluncuran dilakukan oleh Datin dengan memecahkan botol ke kapal yang disaksikan Tun Najib Razak, didampingi Kepala Staf AL Tan Sri Ramlan Mohamed Ali, Menhan Prancis Herve Morin, dan para pejabat lain.

Usai peluncuran, kapal selam melakukan uji berlayar (sea trial) untuk mengecek seluruh sistem. Uji coba ini selesai dilakukan pada Desember 2008 termasuk keberhasilan menguji penembakan torpedo ‘Black Shark’ dan rudal permukaan SM-38 Exocet.

KD TAR diserah terimakan kepada RMN di Toulon-Prancis pada akhir Januari 2009 lalu, Serah terima ini menimbulkan protes di Malaysia, hal ini dikarenakan dugaan adanya komisi sebesar 540 juta ringgit (US$149.50 Juta) yang dibayarkan kepada orang dekat Wakil Perdana Menteri Najib Razak yang bertindak sebagai broker pada transaksi ini.

Serah terima Scorpène kepada RMN di Toulon, Prancis

Wakil Perdana Menteri Tun Najib Razak kini telah menjabat sebagai Perdana Mentri menggantikan Abdulah Ahmad Badawi yang mundur Maret 2009 lalu. Najib membantah telah melakukan apapun yang melanggar aturan pada deal pembelian Scorpène saat beliau menjabat Menteri Pertahanan.

Tetapi pemimpin oposisi senior Lim Kit Siang menginginkan Komisi Anti Korupsi Malaysia yang baru untuk menyelidiki tuduhan tersebut. Program angkatan laut Malaysia (TLDM) ini menghabiskan biaya US$ 2,87 Milyar, menurut Wakil Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Pertahanan Najib Tun Razak ketika berbicara kepada Parlemen Malaysia kontrak pembelian tersebut termasuk pelatihan dan logistik kapal.

Alasan Pengadaan

Peningkatan kemampuan armada laut Kerajaan Malaysia dianggap penting karena perairan Laut China Selatan adalah perairan tersibuk kedua di dunia. Jika terjadi konflik, Selat Malaka akan terkena imbasnya. Selain itu, perairan Laut China Selatan banyak mengandung minyak dan gas serta biota laut.

Malaysia menganggap tiga pulau di gugusan Kepulauan Spratly sebagai wilayah kedaulatannya, yakni Terumbu Ubi (Ardasier Reef), Terumbu Mantanani (Maruiveles Reef) dan Terumbu Layang-layang (Swallow Reef). Negara itu juga menduduki dua terumbu lagi yang berada di luar Kepulauan Spratly dan diperkirakan bisa memicu konflik yakni Terumbu Siput (Erica Reef) dan Terumbu Peninjau (Invertigator Reef).

Armada laut yang kuat dirasa perlu supaya pihak lain tidak dengan mudah dan sewenang-wenangnya membuat tuntutan wilayah yang diklaim milik Malaysia. Malahan ada pendapat dua kapal selam tak mencukupi untuk mengawal perairan Malaysia yang begitu panjang.

Pangkalan Kapal Selam TLDM

Rencananya Juli nanti KD Tunku Abdul Rahman tiba di Malaysia dan bakal berpangkalan di Pangkalan kapal selam TLDM di Kota Kinabalu, Teluk Sepanggar-Sabah.

Kapal selam kedua pada pertengahan Februari 2009 lalu juga tengah melakukan uji berlayar (sea trial) di Cartagena-Italia, dan dijadwalkan bisa diserah terimakan pada bulan Oktober tahun ini.

I never thought that there is such a culture grabbing in this part of the world. This is somewhat a very serious kind of, should I say, stealing (sorry for that word but that's how I see it). I foresee that this would lead to a very serious battle of diplomacy between the two countries or else destructive word war will emerge. Well, Malaysia is truly Asia as they say :lol: What else would they claim???? :ohno:

The whole stealing culture and food thing is the works of that stupid Malaysian Tourism Minister. She is so desperate to find a unique selling point for Malaysia that she has to resort to claiming food, culture from other countries.

Like SERIOUSLY, claiming food such as hainanese chicken rice, laksa, just to name a few?? Even Singapore starts to notice the suspicious nature of this bullsh!t coming from this pathetic Malaysian tourism minister.
Hainanese chicken rice is OBVIOUSLY rooted from Hainan, China! Gawd ENOUGH ALREADY with the pathetic attempt to claim/steal culture/food just to promote tourism. It's so embarrasing! The whole world, ex: UNESCO already noticed this disgraceful act by the Malaysian gov't.

Please don't make yourself look stupid.

Go and learn a thing or two about our Malaysian (all ethnicity) roots and origin.

Seriously, this thing is getting nowhere. The 'pendet' dance issue should be put to rest since it has been revealed that it is Discovery Channel's fault. Why not talk about how we can stem out corruption in our country?

You sound really dumb. It's obviously not just the Pendet Dance, dumbass. Don't just talk out of your ass for the sake of defending your imbecilic brainless Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen.
Anyone who has an ounce of common sense in them would know that it's impossible for a country to claim ownership over food.
Besides, Hainanese chicken rice is actually UNIQUELY SINGAPOREAN rooted from HAINAN, CHINA! I'm not dragging Malaysia into this, it's this Yen Yen who is desperate enough to make a fool of herself.

Is the Bak Kut Teh made out of chicken for the dish to be halal enough to be Malaysian national dish? I thought Beyonce was barred from performing in the country because of its strict Muslim laws? Or how about that Malaysian celebrity who got incarcerated for drinking alcohol?

And, I wonder, why there was NO complaint from Malaysians institution when watching such crystal clear illogical stuff in front of them? I mean, come on, it was clearly a Balinese Dancer shown in an ad of Visit Malaysian's program for int'l viewers of Discovery Channel? Oh by the way, that program called Enigmatic M'sia was funded by whom? The Malaysian Tourist Board, right? And, are you sure that Discovery Channel NEVER made a preview of that program to the one who funded it?:ohno:

And just later we found out thatTHERE IS a need from your minister to CLAIM stuff like food (including, let me hold my breath, hainanese chicken rice:lol:)

I was wondering if Hainan is a nickname for any town in M'sia that my geography teacher failed to let me know :nuts::nuts::nuts:

This makes sense. Since it is a government project, the team from Discovery Channel surely had this preview or presentation before the officials from Malaysian tourism board before it was aired. Malaysia cannot say that the fault is entirely due to Discovery Channel....

Even in companies, before the ad is shown on TV, the said commercial MUST be approved by the authorized officers. The TV channel cannot just air commercial or advertisement if it is not approved.

Just my objective view on it...although for me, if the apology made by Discovery Channel was already accepted by Indonesia, it's fine. :)

Group tells Malaysia: Stop harassing news Web site
The Associated Press , Kuala Lumpur | Wed, 09/23/2009 11:04 AM | World

A global rights group has urged Malaysia to stop harassing a news Web site after it put up a video of Muslim protesters stepping on a cow's head during a protest against a planned Hindu temple.

The Aug. 28 protest raised ethnic tensions in Muslim-majority Malaysia, where about 8 percent of the country's 28 million people are ethnic Indians. Most of the ethnic Indians are Hindus for whom cows are sacred animals.

Independent news Web site Malaysiakini was told to remove two videos, including one of the protest in Shah Alam, the capital of central Selangor state. The site has refused to remove them.

The clips are only accessible to Malaysiakini subscribers with one of them showing protesters stepping and spitting on a severed cow head in front of the Selangor government's headquarters, demanding that a Hindu temple not be built in their neighborhood. The other video was of a subsequent news conference by Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, a Muslim, who appeared to defend the protesters.

In a statement received late Tuesday, New York-based Human Rights Watch said the government should not tell Malaysiakini to remove the videos.

"The government wants to make the problem disappear by taking the videos off the Internet," Elaine Pearson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch, said in the statement.

In a Sept. 3 letter to Malaysiakini, the government's Communication and Multimedia Commission warned that the videos were against the law because they "contained offensive contents with intent to annoy any person, especially the Indians."

The offense is punishable by up to a year in prison or up to 50,000 ringgit ($14,400). Commission officials have also questioned Malaysiakini's editors and staff and asked for the tapes. Malaysiakini has refused to remove the videos, saying they merely record news events.

"The government's investigation of Malaysiakini is nothing short of media harassment and it needs to stop ... Malaysians are entitled to know all sides of a story. It is not up to the government to approve what news is fit to air, print, or post," Pearson said.

Twelve of the protesters have been charged with illegal assembly, and six of them also with sedition, defined as promoting ill will and hostility between different races. It is punishable by up to three years in jail and a fine. Illegal assembly is punishable by one year in jail and a fine.

All mainstream media in Malaysia are linked to the government, which is dominated by Muslim Malays. They account for 60 percent of the population. Ethnic Chinese and Indians are the biggest minorities.

Malaysiakini and blogs, offering anti-government commentary, are not subject to censorship but some have faced court action for articles and comments deemed to be offensive.

I am thinking rationally my friend. To put it simply, as I said, the fault is not on Discovery Channel alone but equally or partly the Malaysian tourism department can be blamed, too.

You asked why Discovery Channel had to apologize and not your government? Again, to put it very straightforward: The TV Channel obviously prepared the video and committed a mistake by including in the clip that Balinese dance. But again, surely the TV executives showed or made a presentation to Malaysian tourism officials before the ad was aired on TV. Why did the Malaysian tourism officials approve the commercial? That's the problem that remain unanswered. We can't just circumvent the apology to appear that the Malaysian government had nothing to do it.

It's business, just think about it, too: Had Discovery Channel explained to the media that your tourism officials knew about the video clip before it was aired on TV, what would have happened? Your government would get angry and possibly cut or terminate the ad contract with Discovery Channel. Who will lose? "Who needs who?"

My bad for not reading into our Tourism Minister's claim over her so called 'uniquely Malaysian' food beforehand. I was just outraged by the never-ending arguments over claims of Malaysia stealing others' culture etc when there are other more pressing issues to be discussed and now our own Tourism Minister had to come up with something stupid like that. Defending our tourism minister? Rest assured, that'll be the last thing I will do.

Yes Hainanese chicken rice is rooted from China but no way it is uniquely Singaporean. I won't say it is uniquely Malaysian too. It is unique to this region! I don't know where else in this South East Asia can you find Hainanese Chicken Rice but there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Malaysians of Hainanese descent in Malaysia as well and the Hainanese chicken rice has been around for as long as the Hainanese people have been in Malaysia.

Singaporeans and Malaysians have so much in common to begin with compared to other countries in this world that it is not surprising that things that can be found in Malaysia can be found in Singapore too. For eg., my grandparents are originally from Singapore. They used to sell Hokkien Prawn Mee in Singapore before moving to Penang in the 1960s, they continued selling Hokkien Prawn Mee in Penang alongside other existing Hokkien Prawn Mee hawkers in Penang. Is Hokkien Prawn Mee uniquely Singaporean or Penang then? As far as I know it has been around in both Singapore and Penang since the 1940s! In this case, it is ridiculous to claim that it is uniquely Singaporean or uniquely Malaysian.

I also know of many Penang Char Koay Teow hawkers who moved to Singapore in order to earn Sing dollars. Does that make Char Koay Teow uniquely Singaporean?

And as for the origins of Bak Kut Teh in Malaysia, it was first eaten by Hokkien labourers at Port Klang. It is no coincidence that Klang is the Bak Kut Teh capital of the world. I don't know if the Hokkien labourers at the Singapore port had Bak Kut Teh for dinner back then but my point is it is ridiculous to claim exclusivity over certain food and culture in our diverse SEA region.

^^ Yes, the documentary of "Enigmatic Malaysia" was made by Malaysia as requested by Discovery Channel. When it was done, the documentary video was sent to Discovery Channel and after that Malaysia had nothing to do with it anymore. it is up to DC how they should promote the documentary on their channel. They don't have to present it to a Malaysian official for approval as the Malaysian government did not pay for DC's promo. That is how it works.

Usaha keras pemerintah Malaysia untuk mematenkan milik mereka sepertinya harus memacu pemerintah kita untuk lebih concern sama budaya bangsa sendiri.. Jangan sampai baru teriak2 setelah ada klaim dll dr pihak lain, tp sebelum2nya gak dihargai di tanah sendiri :ohno:

Malaysia Klaim dari Wayang sampai Pisang Goreng
Tempo - Senin, September 28

TEMPO Interaktif, Jakarta - Malaysia ternyata masih mengklaim beberapa barang yang banyak terdapat di Indonesia sebagai warisan budaya mereka. Dalam situs warisan.gov.my, Malaysia mematenkan berbagai produk seperti wayang kulit dan gamelan sampai pisang goreng sebagai warisan kebangsaan mereka.

Sebelumnya, masyarakat Indonesia sempat dibuat gusar dengan penayangan gambar tari Pendet dalam iklan pariwisata Malaysia. Penayangan gambar tari Pendet tersebut ternyata murni gagasan Discovery Channel Asia yang berkantor di Changi Business Park Vista, Singapura. Akibat kisruh tersebut, Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata Indonesia Jero Wacik sempat mengirim nota protes.

Menurut situs warisan.gov.my, beberapa barang yang juga banyak terdapat di Indonesia yang diklaim warisan kebudayaan Malaysia di antaranya gamelan, wayang kulit, tempoyak, ketupat, sampai pisang goreng.

Barang-barang yang diklaim Malaysia beragam mulai dari alat musik, mainan anak, sampai makanan. Beberapa barang yang didaftarkan sebagai warisan kebangsaan pada 23 Februari 2009 di antaranya gamelan dan gasing. Sementara warisan yang didaftarkan pada 25 Desember 2008 di antaranya ketupat, lemang, nasi goreng, rendang, tempoyak, otak-otak, pisang goreng , dan dodol.

Kasus tari Pendet bukan kali pertama Malaysia memicu reaksi keras dari warga Indonesia. Pada September 2007, lagu Rasa Sayang-Sayange yang merupakan lagu rakyat Maluku muncul sebagai musik latar pada iklan promosi pariwisata Malaysia.

Flood kills 246 in Philippines; survivors seek aid
The Associated Press , Manila | Wed, 09/30/2009 7:41 AM | World

Flood victims trudged through ankle-deep sludge to crowded relief centers in the Philippines, as the death toll rose to 246 from water that inundated the homes of nearly 2 million people.

Tropical Storm Ketsana brought the worst flooding to the Southeast Asian country in four decades, chasing some victims to their rooftops to escape the rising water and sweeping others down raging rivers.

The storm struck Saturday in Manila, one of the world's largest cities with about 12 million people, and dumped more than a month's worth of rain in just 12 hours. Flooding was worst around the Pasig River that cuts through the capital, including wealthy suburbs and shanty towns.

The presidential palace was opened as a relief center, and President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's executive chef cooked gourmet food for victims at another shelter.

Ketsana strengthened and crashed into central Vietnam on Tuesday, killing at least 23 people who drowned, were caught in mudslides or hit by falling trees, officials said. Some 170,000 people were evacuated.

"The rivers are rising, and many homes are flooded, and several mountainous districts have been isolated by mudslides," said Nguyen Minh Tuan, a provincial disaster official in Vietnam.

The storm weakened as it moved inland and approached Laos, but rivers were still rising and more rain was forecast for the region Wednesday.

In the Philippines, where at least 38 people remained missing and more rain was forecast, some of the displaced families recalled their ordeal from a covered court in the town center where they sought shelter.

"What happened was the water suddenly rose. We did not know that the water would reach the second floor, so we went up to the roof but the roof gave in, so we just floated in the water holding on to a trunk of a banana tree," said Herminio Abahat, whose wife is still missing.

Abahat said he and his wife were swept to a river and eventually separated by the raging currents.

Thick, gooey mud lay in the streets in some places, while others were still under a foot or two of water. But the main downtown business and tourist district was largely unscathed.

In Marikina, a suburban district of the capital, police used forklifts to remove mud-caked cars stalled along the road. Elsewhere, people used shovels and brooms to muck brown mud from their homes and businesses, some of which were inundated up to the second floor.

Victims clutching bags of belongings lined up for hours at relief centers for bottled water, boiled eggs and packets of instant noodles.

Gingery Comprendio, a mother of five, described how she left her children on the roof of their house to alert authorities about a live electric line. When she returned, her family was gone.

"I did not know what transpired. We were on top of a roof but we got separated," Comprendio said. "The next day when I came back to our house I saw my eldest already dead and my aunt saw my other child buried in the mud." Her husband also remains missing.

In the Bagong Silangan area of the capital, about 150 people sheltered on a covered basketball court that had been turned into a makeshift evacuation center for storm victims. People lay on pieces of cardboard amid piles of garbage and swarming flies, their belongings crammed into bags nearby.

Seventeen white wooden coffins, some of them child-sized, lined one part of the court. A woman wept quietly beside one coffin.

Sensitive to criticism that her administration was unprepared to respond to the disaster, Arroyo launched a public relations offensive to show her administration was doing all it could to help - even while conceding the country needed international aid.

She opened part of the presidential palace as a relief center, and hundreds of people received food and made free phone calls to friends and relatives.

Presidential aide Hermogenes Esperon said up to 500 victims would be given blankets and other supplies and allowed to stay in the palace grounds, after they had undergone security checks, starting with about 50 people on Tuesday night.

"We're responding to the extent we can to this once-in-a-lifetime typhoon emergency," Arroyo said in a statement.

Nearly 380,000 people have sought shelter in relief centers. The government has declared a "state of calamity" in Manila and 25 storm-hit provinces and estimated the damage at $97 million.

Another storm, meanwhile, was headed toward the Philippines. Tropical Storm Parma was about 800 miles (1,280 kilometers) southeast of the Philippines late Tuesday, bringing the threat of more heavy rain, Nilo Frisco of the government weather agency said.

Flood kills 246 in Philippines; survivors seek aid
The Associated Press , Manila | Wed, 09/30/2009 7:41 AM | World

Tropical Storm Ketsana brought the worst flooding to the Southeast Asian country in four decades, chasing some victims to their rooftops to escape the rising water and sweeping others down raging rivers.

The storm struck Saturday in Manila, one of the world's largest cities with about 12 million people, and dumped more than a month's worth of rain in just 12 hours. Flooding was worst around the Pasig River that cuts through the capital, including wealthy suburbs and shanty towns.
In the Philippines, where at least 38 people remained missing and more rain was forecast, some of the displaced families recalled their ordeal from a covered court in the town center where they sought shelter.

"What happened was the water suddenly rose. We did not know that the water would reach the second floor, so we went up to the roof but the roof gave in, so we just floated in the water holding on to a trunk of a banana tree," said Herminio Abahat, whose wife is still missing.

Abahat said he and his wife were swept to a river and eventually separated by the raging currents.

Thick, gooey mud lay in the streets in some places, while others were still under a foot or two of water. But the main downtown business and tourist district was largely unscathed.

In Marikina, a suburban district of the capital, police used forklifts to remove mud-caked cars stalled along the road. Elsewhere, people used shovels and brooms to muck brown mud from their homes and businesses, some of which were inundated up to the second floor.

Nearly 380,000 people have sought shelter in relief centers. The government has declared a "state of calamity" in Manila and 25 storm-hit provinces and estimated the damage at $97 million.

Philippines is visited by an average of 20 typhoons every year. I think Manila gets an average of 6 typhoons per year.

"Ketsana" dumped rain of 420 milimeter in the capital for 12 hours, the first time that happened in 40 years, thus the flooding.

The worst affected areas are residential mostly in the eastern part of the capital.

My Indonesian friends left Manila yesterday, 9/29. Luckily, they did not experience the floods since they stayed and visited malls and other places of interest in BGC, Pasay, Makati and Alabang (central and south).

please someone tell me the truth and make this thing clear?what did malaysian mean with "tulisan jawi"?is it javanese "hanacaraka" alphabet?

if it's true then I just can't stop to laugh.

September 30th, 2009, 09:06 PM

@silverian86,thanks for your explanation.so,tulisan jawi they mentioned in no. 11 is nothing to do with javanese alphabet rite?ok then,glad to know that.

btw FYI,
1.we(javanese) also use arabic letter for javanese word.we called it Pegon (http://jv.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9gon).so I think it's not only found in Malaysia,Riau or Aceh.

2.sorry for my prejudgement since for javanese like me the word "Jawi" is so related to "Jawa/Java".Javanese use the word of "jawi" to refers to "java" in "krama inggil*" level.

*krama inggil is highest level of javanese languange.(java/jawa become jawi.)

but there is a question poped up in my head,why malaysia called it "tulisan Jawi" not "tulisan Melayu Arab" or something?what the meanning of "Jawi" in "tulisan Jawi"?

Malaysia Telusuri Jejak Sejarah

http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/7434/55062367.jpg (http://img526.imageshack.us/i/55062367.jpg/)

PALEMBANG, Sriwijaya Post — Sebanyak 10 orang rombongan ahli dan mahasiswa sejarah dari Negeri Pahang Malaysia menyempatkan diri bertemu dengan Walikota Palembang, H Eddy Santana Putra. Kedatangan rombongan ini untuk menyampaikan rencana mereka berkenaan dengan penelusuran jejak sejarah Palembang-Malaysia.
Pimpinan rombongan Datuk Sri Wan Abdul Wahid bin Wan Hasan, usai bertemu Walikota Eddy Santana, mengatakan Indonesia dan Malaysia khususnya Palembang-Negeri Pahang Malaysia dilihat dari pertalian sejarahnya berawal dari Demang Lebar Daun dan Sangsa Purba yang turun dari Bukit Siguntang. Mereka itulah akhirnya menjadi raja-raja melayu di Semenanjung Malaka dan akhirnya masuk ke Malaysia.
“Masih kita mempunyai raja yang kita boleh susul sejarahnya dari Bukti Siguntang berkaitan dengan Walisongo ada kekerabatan dengan raja-raja di Palembang ini dengan Malaysia yakni Raja Sultan Haji Ahmadsyah,” kata Datuk Sri Wan Abdul Hamid seraya mengaku dengan jejak sejarah yang dimiliki kedua negara itu memungkinkan Malaysia dan Indonesia adalah satu rumpun sehingga kerjasama hubungan antara kawasan kawasan lautan saling lewat lautan dan juga perlu pertukaran budaya perlu dimaklumkan.
“Diantara rombongan kami ini ada majelis budaya negeri Pahang, kumpulan dari budayawan yang sering memberikan seminar-seminar, pelatihan dan pendidikan masalah budaya,” ungkap Wan Abdul Hamid.
Datuk Sri Wan Abdul Wahid sendiri adalah Pengurus Persatuan Sejarah Malaysia Cawangan Negeri Pahang.

http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/7892/bs2r.jpg (http://img526.imageshack.us/i/bs2r.jpg/)

Dia melihat banyak sekali kesamaan antara Palembang-Malaysia mulai dari sisi bahasanya, seni dan budayanya, makanannya misalnya ikan seluang, ikan belida, patin, ruan (gabus). Termasuk cara memasak pun hampir sama. Budaya-budaya ini menyebar di Bagian tengah dan timur Malaysia.
Disinggung soal banyaknya produk-produk Indonesia diklaim pihak Malaysia sebagai ciptaan Malaysia, Datuk Sri Wan Abdul Wahid mengakui bahwa sebagian besar masyarakat Malaysia itu asalnya dari tanah besar Sumatera. Sukunya ada keturunan melayu, Minangkabau, Jawa dan Bugis. Dan asal usul rajanya juga dari Palembang yang turun ke Malaysia dan Malaka jadi rumpunnya juga satu rumpun makanya kebudayaannya, makanannya hampir sama. “Bahkan ketika zaman Belanda mengacau di Indonesia terjadi perpindahan penduduk (migrasi), jadi tidak asing lagi kalau kita ini serumpun,” terang Wan Abdul Hamid sembari mengaku jika asalnya satu rumpun mestinya produk kain, makanan dan budayanya tidak akan jauh beda. Artinya, di Malaysia juga ada kain songket yang dibuat orang Malaysia. Ada masakan pindang ala Malaysia yang cita rasanya juga tidak jauh beda dengan Indonesia. (trs)

Look like Indonesian cultures and Malaysia cultures are nearly same .:)

yeaaa.............I know that Philippines also hated Malaysia

Politically incorrect statement.

However, Philippines has not renounced the claim over Sabah. This is a very thorny issue that both countries do not want to talk about as this will surely damage good relations between the two countries.

Yes, so many Muslim and Christian Filipinos resent the issue on Sabah and the "inaction" on the part of Philippine government on its claim but we don't know when the Philippine government is going to raise that issue again (the last time was during 1970s - Marcos time).

As of the moment, PHilippines and Malaysia enjoy the cordial relations and we have also investors from Malaysia like Genting Bhd - they opened their Resorts World Manila, the biggest casino in the country today. :)

There are also Malaysian investors in toll roads.

Kerajaan Malayu adalah nama sebuah kerajaan yang pernah ada di Pulau Sumatra. Pada umumnya, kerajaan ini dibedakan atas dua periode, yaitu Kerajaan Malayu Tua pada abad ke-7 yang berpusat di Minanga Tamwa, dan Kerajaan Malayu Muda pada abad ke-13 yang berpusat di Dharmasraya.

Berdasarkan letak ibu kotanya, Kerajaan Malayu Tua atau Malayu Kuno sering pula disebut dengan nama Kerajaan Malayu Jambi, sedangkan Kerajaan Malayu Muda sering pula disebut dengan nama Kerajaan Dharmasraya yang kekuasaanya mencapai Malaysia,Kamboja, dan Srilangka kini

Kesultanan Malaka (1402 - 1511) adalah sebuah kesultanan yang didirikan oleh Parameswara, seorang putera Sriwijaya yang melarikan diri dari perebutan Palembang oleh Majapahit. Ibu kota kerajaan ini terdapat di Melaka, yang terletak pada Selat Malaka. Kesultanan ini berkembang pesat menjadi sebuah entrepot dan menjadi pelabuhan terpenting di Asia Tenggara pada abad ke-15 dan awal 16. Malaka runtuh setelah ibukotanya direbut oleh Portugis pada tahun 1511.

Di tambah Sriwijaya dan Majapahit...
Berdasarkan sejarah...indonesia dan malaysia dahulu adalah satu...bahkan asia tenggara...

Bahkan dulu Tan Malaka bersikeras bahwa Indonesia adalah Nusantara Baru yang wilayahnya adalah Indonesia, Malaysia, dan Singapura...

tapi takdir berbicara lain..:cheers:

KUALA LUMPUR 1 Okt. - Tabung Gempa Nusantara Utusan-Maybank yang dilancarkan pada 7 September lalu dilanjutkan bagi membantu mangsa gempa terbaru di Padang, Sumatera.

CIMB, The Star start fund for Sumatra quake victims
By FLORENCE A. SAMY

PETALING JAYA: The CIMB Group and Star Publications (M) Bhd have started a fund to help those affected by the devastating earthquake in Sumatra on Wednesday which has killed nearly 800 people and trapped thousands more under rubble.

The CIMB Group has donated RM100,000 to kick-start the “CIMB-The Star Padang Relief Fund,” set up in collaboration with Star Publications.

Collection boxes have been placed at CIMB Group’s 1,150 branches in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand to make it easier for the public to chip in, said its chief executive officer Datuk Seri Nazir Razak.

A collection box would also be placed at Menara Star at Phileo Damansara II here.

The public have been urged to do their bit to help the victims as even RM1 can go a long way.

The CIMB Foundation would also match contributions from the public ringgit-to-ringgit up to a total of RM1mil, Nazir said.

The target, he said, may be increased if the RM1mil mark was reached.

“We sympathise with the people in Padang who have lost their homes and loved ones.

“The earthquake has brought a lot of suffering to the people. We have seen first-hand the devastation the earthquake has caused.

“Two of our branches in Padang were badly affected because of the earthquake but thankfully, all 26 personnel have been accounted for,” he said at the launch of the fund at Menara Star on Friday.

Nazir said the collection boxes were placed throughout the region to help facilitate the public at large throughout South-East Asia who wanted to contribute and help the earthquake victims.

“Not only will we double up each ringgit, we will also ensure the money contributed will be deployed in the most effective way to help the victims -- either with their immediate emergency needs or with building efforts later.

“We urge the public here and elsewhere in South-East Asia to step up and help the community (in Padang) that is suffering,” he said.

Nazir said they would be working closely with their colleagues in CIMB Niaga and the Indonesian government to ensure the donations were used effectively.

Star Publications executive deputy chairman Datuk Clement Hii said they would go all out to create awareness about the fund to raise as much money as possible to help those affected by the earthquake.

CIMB, he added, was a great partner to work with as it was well known for its corporate social responsibility.

Besides the cash collection boxes, customers and the public can also make donations via cheque or online banking through two collection accounts, conventional and Islamic.

Details are as follows:

Payee name: CIMB-The Star Padang Relief Fund

Account numbers:
1408 1206 6620 56 (CIMB Bank)
1404 0000 4891 03 (CIMB Islamic)

Sumatra quake: AirAsia helps out with charity flight
By NG SI HOOI

PETALING JAYA: Anxious family members and rescue teams have snapped up all free air tickets on the Jakarta-Padang charity flight by AirAsia on Sunday.

The 260 tickets, to and from Padang, were booked up within 20 minutes of AirAsia putting them up on its website at 9am Friday, said AirAsia group regional head of commercial Kathleen Tan.

“AirAsia wants to do our bit during this critical moment in Padang. We want to reach out to the earthquake victims,” she said.

She claimed some travel agents had doubled the price of air-tickets between the two cities.

“We are not doing it for money. We are a people’s airline. It is our social responsibility,” she said.

She said AirAsia, which had stopped flights between the two cities previously, had managed to organise the charity fight within one hour on Wednesday, when a 7.9-magnitude earthquake struck the city.

At least 715 people were killed, although estimates vary, with the death toll expected to rise as thousands are still trapped underneath collapsed buildings.

“We will also provide cargo services to those who want to send rescue items to Padang,” Tan said.

She said AirAsia is also looking into the possibility of extra flights between the two cities during this period.

Mercy team goes to Padang to assess needs

PETALING JAYA: Mercy Malaysia has sent a two-member team to quake-ravaged Padang, Sumatra, to assess the requirements for humanitarian aid.

Mercy Malaysia senior programme support officer Maria Lauranti and medical volunteer Oh Boon Haan left Malaysia at 2pm yesterday.

“Mercy Malaysia has also roped in an Indonesian volunteer, Azrim Mirza, stationed in Medan, to conduct an assessment,” said its president Dr Ahmad Faizal Mohd Perdaus in a statement.

He added that an initial RM100,000 had been allocated from Mercy Malaysia’s emergency fund for the disaster and the organisation would monitor the situation to provide other forms of assistance.

Dr Ahmad Faizal said Mercy Malaysia had also sent a two-member team to Manila that was hit by tropical storm Ketsana recently.

Dr Ahmad Faizal said Malaysians could donate to the Mercy Malaysia Hum*ani*tarian Fund through its May*bank account 5621-7950-4126 or CIMB account 1424-000-6561053.

The Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS) is also ready to deploy a five-member disaster response team to Padang to provide emergency relief.

The team would most likely leave today, according to its communications manager Suhana Mohamad Salleh.

The MRCS is also accepting cash donations for the victims of the earthquake in Padang and the typhoon in the Philippines.

Donations can be made by cheque or cash to Secretary-General Malay*sian Red Crescent Society, National Headquarters, 32 Jalan Nipah, off Jalan Ampang, 55000 Kuala Lum*pur.

Cheques should be made out to the “MRCS International Relief Fund” and banked in to Maybank account 5144-2210–2657.

Meanwhile, Bernama reports that Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has welcomed Malaysia and other countries to provide emergency aid to quake victims.

Rescue efforts continue amid the rubble. Reporting from Padang
By SHAHANAAZ HABIB and AZHAR MAHFOF

PADANG: Madha Linna and her family had been looking forward to travel to Padang to attend a relative’s wedding but after the devastating earthquake on Wednesday, they are not even sure if there would be a wedding.

A concerned Madha, 22, was on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to here yesterday with eight of her family members.

The mass communications student and her family had planned to attend the wedding of one of her close relatives in Padang Kota.

“We are all very close. I am so worried about them. We have been trying to telephone them since we heard about the quake but we have not been able to get through till now,” she said.

Madha’s parents and siblings are Malaysians while the rest of her relatives are from Padang.

Another passenger on the same flight was Harmani Harmani.

He had travelled to Kedah a few days ago to attend his daughter’s convocation at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), set for Oct 3, but his sister had died, so he was on the flight back to Padang for the funeral.

His 72-year-old sister, who lived in Bukit Tinggi, some 99km from Padang, died a day before the earthquake.

Harmani took the night bus from Kedah to Kuala Lumpur to get on the flight to Padang yesterday.

He plans to fly back to Malaysia today so he can make it on time for his daughter Ria’s convocation.

His two other sons had also studied at UUM.

He was perturbed to hear from fellow passengers on the flight that the road to Bukit Tinggi had been damaged by the earthquake and was not accessible. So far, the death toll from Wednesday’s earthquake is said to be around 1,100.

The heart of Padang city has been hit, with a number of homes, shops and buildings in ruins.

Even hospitals have not been spared.

The Djamil Hospital suffered substantial damage but there has been no word yet of the number of victims. Four big hotels in Padang – Bumi Minang, Rocky, Mariani and Ambacang – have also been badly hit while the famous Best Western Hotel has closed its doors to check if the building is structurally safe.

Universitas Andalas, which is perched on a hill, suffered quite a bit of damage.

Electricity is still out and telecommunication lines are congested.

Shops have opened in a number of places and the town is crowded with people.

Many, however, are terrified by the quake and their homes have been damaged.

They are camping out at the Padang airport.

They have laid mats to sleep on the floor at the entrance of the airport.

“At least, we have electricity here,” a woman who was with her five children said.

The airport is using its generator for power.

The city was rattled by a strong aftershock yesterday morning but after things calmed down, people went back to cleaning up the mess.

Evacuation efforts continued into the night. Much of them were concentrated on Ambacang where many people were trapped under the rubble.

Work was focused on rescuing survivors instead of recovering dead bodies.

1Malaysia earthquake fund for Asia launched

PORT DICKSON: In the spirit of caring for people who become victims of disasters and especially those hit by the latest earthquake in western Sumatra, the government's television arm RTM has entered into a collaboration with international aid organisation Islamic Relief Malaysia (IRM) to launch the 1Malaysia Earthquake Fund for Asia.

Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim officiated the launching of the fund at the Information Department's Media Centre for the Bagan Pinang by-election, here Saturday.

In his speech, Dr Rais said RTM joined IRM in the effort because of its confidence in the international aid organisation's capabilities in delivering humanitarian aid to victims if disasters.

With a network of 100 branches in 40 countries, including in Indonesia, there was no question of IRM's committment to humanitarian causes, he said.

He urged Malaysians to donate generously to the fund via cheques or by direct deposit into Maybank account: 5621 4270 8704 or CIMB account: 1259 0000 804 058.

Further information can be obtaineed by surfing IRM;s website at www.irm.org.my.

The above information will be broadcast on RTM's channels in the form of crawlers.

Besides this, donation boxes will also be placed at strategic places throughout the country to enable the public to make their donations.

Dr Rais made his own personal donation at a box place in the centre to start the ball rolling.

The minister added that RTM sent a news crew comprising a broadcast journalist and a cameraman to Padang at noon today together with IRM volunteers to identify aid needs in the earthquake ravaged province.

According to Mohd Ramzan Mansor, an IRM volunteer for it central region, 88 IRM volunteers were already in Padang to channel aid to victims of the earthquake disaster there.

Basic necessities like rice, sugar, salt, flour, cooking oil and sardines were being distributed to victims, he added. - Bernama

Exit and airport taxes a hassle

PETALING JAYA: Even though it was an evacuation flight, a tax is still a tax and if you do not pay, you will not be able to leave Indonesia.

The group of Malaysians being evacuated to Malaysia on four Royal Malaysia Air Force planes were told to pay 200,000 rupiah (RM72) exit tax and another 100,000 rupiah (RM36) airport tax each before they were allowed to depart.

The taxes caught Malaysian officials off guard.

Furthermore, most of the students had lost nearly everything including important documents like their passports.

After a lengthy argument with airport authorities, the Malaysians were allowed to leave.

“We told them a letter of undertaking from the Government will be issued, providing a guarantee that the amount of the taxes will be settled,” said a Malaysian official.

Another official blamed the problem on miscommunication between the Indonesian authorities in Jakarta and Padang.

“Jakarta had made it clear that the quake was an emergency situation and thus, evacuation operations should be accorded due process. Maybe those on the ground in Padang did not get the instruction,” the official added.

It is understood that the aid supplied brought in by the planes were also a sticking point with airport authorities.

The confusion caused the first flight with 128 people to be delayed for an hour.

The subsequent three evacuation flights were smooth after the problems were ironed out.

Smart team ready for action

PETALING JAYA: A 25-member Special Malaysia Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (Smart) squad is ready for rescue deployment to help search for survivors of the Padang earthquake.

It is understood the Malaysian Government is waiting for the green light from the Indonesian authorities to leave for Padang.

A Malaysian medical team is also expected to leave with the Smart team.

“We are all ready. The moment we get the word, we will leave from the Subang air force base.

“The earliest we can leave is tomorrow (Saturday). All our equipment has been packed and stored in Subang,” an official told The Star yesterday.

The team members have vast experience in rescue operations, having been involved in disaster relief work in Turkey, India, Indonesia and the Philippines.

A rescue team from Japan is already in Padang.

Officials said the team would also be bringing their own multi-purpose vehicle.

The team has also been advised to bring its own petrol as supply was getting scarce in Indonesia and there have been reports of long queues at petrol kiosks. The Malaysian Government is also expected to send food supplies, water, clothing and tents for the quake victims.

Meanwhile, Wisma Putra officials still in Padang are tracing Malaysians who might still be stranded there.

Malaysian Consul-General in Medan, Fauzi Omar, said AirAsia and Firefly were operating again in Padang.

“The stranded Malaysians may have taken these flights home. We are still checking anyway,” he added.

Indonesia says thank you for the help

KUALA LUMPUR: The Indonesian government has thanked Malaysia for providing assistance to the people of Padang who have been affected by the earthquake.

Indonesian Ambassador Tan Sri Da’i Bachtiar said the Malaysian government has provided aid in various forms, including food and medicines.

“We thank the Malaysian government and its citizens who have expressed their sympathy towards what has happened in Indonesia, especially in West Sumatra and Jambi provinces,” he said at the Indonesian Embassy yesterday.

He said those who wanted to find out about their family members in Padang could contact his embassy.

They could also get the latest update on the earthquake from the Padang earthquake hotline at +62-751-9824980 or the Disaster Management National Agency at +62-21-3458400 or e-mail to posko@bnpb,go.id.

The long haul back for our students

PETALING JAYA: The mission to bring back over 300 Malaysians from the earthquake-hit Sumatran city of Padang was wrought with difficulties from the start.

The evacuation mission, one of the largest in recent times, had seemed simple enough — the Royal Malaysian Air Force would fly three Hercules C310 planes into Padang’s Minangkabau International Airport with food and supplies, and bring the Malaysians home on the return trip.

The first problem came even before the plane took off. The flight was scheduled to take off at 8.30pm from the Subang airforce base. It did not take off until just before midnight. The wait was for landing clearance from the authorities in Padang.

There was even a false start around 10pm when everyone boarded the plane and were strapped in only to be herded back to the terminal because air traffic was very heavy.

The first plane landed in Padang at around 12.15am local time (1.15am Malaysian time) and the airport was deserted except for a commercial plane parked a few hundred metres away.

All on board were told to sit on the tarmac outside a nearby hangar. About an hour later, 128 Malaysian students were ushered into the plane.

Felicia Francesca Fran-cis Dass, 23, who suffered spinal injury when her house collapsed during the earthquake, was first brought on board in a stretcher.

It took about one hour to get everyone on board. Takeoff was again delayed because the second air force place was unable to land. The runway lights had been turned off.

The Malaysians were told that there was some confusion with airport officials who were insisting that the relief supplies brought from Malaysia needed to be taxed.

The second plane finally managed to land at 2.30am, followed by a smaller air force place which landed at 4am. Both took off after they were loaded with people.

The fourth plane — the one the media and officials were supposed to return on — landed at 5am. The plane was full of supplies.

This time, the local workers refused to help unload the supplies.

The remaining male students and reporters together with the air force crew unloaded the cargo.

After more than an hour, everyone was on board and strapped in. The plane finally took off at 6.30am and arrived in Subang just before 9am.

The successful mission managed to bring home 383 Malaysians.

Film 'Mengejar Pelangi'?? mungkin yang anda maksudkan "Laskar Pelangi". Film tersebut berlatarbelakang kisah di Pulau Belitung, Provinsi Bangka Belitung yang terletak tepat disebelah timur Palembang. Provinsi ini dahulunya merupakan wilayah Palembang atau Sumatera Selatan tapi sejak tahun 2000 memisahkan diri dan membentuk provinsi tersendiri.

sorry kalau soalan ni mengguris hati rakyat Indonesia... sekadar bertanya. cheese.

*saya pernah dengar pasal belitung, bangka belitung... mungkin dalam pelajaran sejarah dulu kot. tapi lebih kenal riau sebab empayar tu baru dipisahkan daripada johor-riau (english-dutch treaty?)

*saya pun kurang faham pasal privinsi ni....

Bahasa kebangsaan Indonesia berbeda dengan Bahasa Melayu Malaysia. Bahasa Indonesia menurut saya adalah bahasa Melayu yang sudah banyak dipengaruhi oleh bahasa-bahasa tempatan (lokal) yang ada di Indonesia (sebut saja Jawa, Sunda, dll). Jika dibandingkan memang jauh berbeda antara BM dan BI.

Tapi... Banyak orang di Indonesia jarang menggunakan BI dengan baik dan benar menurut aturan yang sudah ada, kebanyakan menggunakan bahasa tidak baku (slang) seperti BM yang punya Bahasa Rojak. Dan bahasa slang itu yang kebanyakan dipakai oleh orang Indonesia, termasuk di sinetron-sineron itu... Senang juga tonton sinetron Indonesia ya? :)

^^ Bahasa Kebangsaan Indonesia adalah Bahasa Indonesia.
Bahasa Indonesia tidak hanya mengandung kosakata Bahasa Melayu Sumatra tapi juga mengandung kosakata berbagai daerah di Nusantara seperti Bahasa Jawa, Bahasa Manado, Bahasa Sunda, Bahasa Minangkabau bahkan serapan berbagai bahasa asing.

Didalam Sinetron Indonesia memang tidak menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia yang sejati atau sesuai dengan Ejaan Yang Benar, karena banyak sisipan "Bahasa Gaul" percakapan masyarakat Jakarta seperti: Gue (saya), Lo (kamu), Bokap nyokap (bapak ibu), nggak (tidak), banget (sangat), entar (nanti) dan lain sebagainya. Nah karena ini ditayangkan secara nasional, maka bahasa seperti itu juga mempengaruhi, diikuti dan menjadi trend percakapan diberbagai daerah Indonesia, khususnya para anak muda.

President S R Nathan and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong wrote to Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono today to convey their sympathies to the victims of the devastating earthquake that struck Padang and West Sumatra on Wednesday evening.

The Singapore Government will provide US$50,000 worth of emergency relief supplies, including temporary shelters, blankets and medicines, to Indonesia.

Singapore has also despatched a 42-member Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) rescue contingent, which comprises experienced officers from SCDF's elite Disaster Assistance & Rescue Team (DART), to assist the Indonesians in their search and rescue operations.

The SCDF contingent left for Padang, West Sumatra on Thursday (Oct 1) via Republic of Singapore Air Force C-130 flights. Officers from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are travelling on board these flights to render the necessary assistance to Singaporeans stranded in Padang.

1.Isabella
2.Tangisan Isabella
3.Manohara
4.Jiran

cem dah xde tema lain je. :lol:
sorry x de maksud nak mengguris hati malaysian forumers hanya sahaja saya kecewa ngan produser sinetron yg cem xde creativity.
when one Malaysia themed sinetron aired then another sinetron with the same theme came up.
latah banget deh.

tu namanya mengambil kesempatan...take for granted. yelah, saya rasa kat sana kan tengah ada banyak cerita pasal hubungan malaysia indonesia. jadi masa ni lah produser-produser nak guna kesempatan yang ada nak dapatkan duit yang banyak.

saya rasalah, mungkin bagus juga ada kelainan sikit dalam sinetron ni. sebab kalau tidak, cerita sinetron ni mesti pasal cerita (1) pari-pari, (2) ibu tiri yang sangat jahat, (3) perkahwinan orang kaya dengan orang miskin, (4)orang gaji yang tukarkan anak dengan anak tuan rumahnya....stereotype.no offence,jangan marah ya.....

eh, sinetron isabella tu guna bahasa malaysia? sebab yang saya tengok cerita ashraf sinclair berlakon tu, dia cakap bahasa sinetron. sama dengan pelakon sinetron lain......

kalau di malaysia, contoh ada pelakon luar, mereka akan tetap guna bahasa mereka atau guna english..... jaranglah saya nampak (tak pernah langsung) saya tengok pelakon indonesia cakap bahasa malaysia.

contohnya, dalam cicakman2 (CGI ni teruk, tak minat)... tamara blezinski berlakon tetap guna bahasa indonesia. baru nampak macam ada veriety....kalau ada pelkon cina pun, mesti cara cakapnya slang cina.... pelakon india pun macam tu jugak.

Australia Kirim Tim Penyelamat ke Padang

Sydney (ANTARA News/AAP-OANA) - Beberapa hari setelah membantu korban gempa dan tsunami di Samoa, kini para pakar bencana Australia dikerahkan lagi ke wilayah yang terkena dampak gempa bumi di Sumatra Barat.

Selain itu, Australia pada Jumat (2/10) mengirim dua pesawat transpor RAAF ke Padang menyusul imbauan bantuan internasional dari Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Australia juga pada Sabtu mengirim sebuah kapal rumah sakit terapung yang membawa sebuah helikopter Sea King untuk membantu para korban luka.

Pemerintah Negara Bagian Queensland juga mengirim tim khusus mencakup paramedis dan para ahli bencana ke kawasan itu.

Gempa berkekuatan 7,6 pada skala Richter itu meruntuhkan banyak bangunan dan menimbulkan kebakaran hebat di ibukota Provinsi Sumatra Barat pada Rabu lalu.

Jumlah korban tewas mencapai 1.100 orang dan diperkirakan jumlah korban itu akan meningkat karena masih banyak korban yang tertimbun dalam reruntuhan bangunan.

Tragedi itu terjadi sekitar sebulan setelah gempa berkekuatan 7,0 pada skala Richter menghantam Jawa Barat yang menimbulkan tanah longsor di sejumlah tempat.

Perdana Menteri Australia Kevin Rudd mengatakan meskipun tidak ada warga Australia menjadi korban luka dalam bencana alam itu, namun ada 60 warga Australia masih belum diketahui nasibnya.

"Pihak Australia bekerja sepanjang waktu untuk mengkonfirmasi keamanan dan keselamatan pada warga Australia yang diduga berada di Sumatera tersebut," kata Rudd kepada wartawan.(*)

Malaysia’s Smart begins search and rescue in Indonesia

PADANG: The Special Malaysian Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (Smart) got down to work at the ravaged Mariani International Hotel and Jakarta Hotel here Sunday.

Headed by Capt Mohd Halimi Taib, the 25-member team was sure that no more victims trapped in the rubble of Mariani International Hotel in Jalan Bundo Kandung here.

They then began scouring the rubble of Jakarta Hotel to determine if there were still victims there, Mohd Halimi told Bernama.

The Smart team arrived Saturday along with a medical team made up of 31 personnel from the armed forces, the Health Ministry and the Malaysian Red Crescent Society.

Accompanied by 22 journalists, photographers and cameramen, the Smart team pitched tents at a clearing beside the collapsed Selasih Hospital as the operation centre.

Mariani International Hotel owner Arif Hosein, 68, said only one (a Singaporean) of the three victims pulled out of the debris last Friday was alive.

"We believe there are no more victims in the rubble of the hotel after verifying the guest list. No family members have come here to look for their relatives.

"Thank God, many people, including Malaysians, came to our aid," he said.

Meanwhile, 17 Bank Muamalat Malaysia officers and volunteers arrived here at 9am with foodstuff, tents and medicines. - Bernama

Terengganu may stop sending students to Indonesia

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu government may stop sending students to pursue medical studies in Indonesia for safety reasons following an earthquake in Padang.

State Education, Higher Learning, Science, Technology and Human Resource Committee Chairman Ahmad Razif Abd Rahman said as an alternative, it was considering sending the students to Poland or Hungary.

“Whatever we decide, it will be in the best interest of the students,“ he told reporters at the 1Malaysia Smart Enhancement Programme at Kampung Baru Seberang Takir here yesterday.

He said Terengganu sponsored 65 medical students in 10 universities in the republic.

One of them, who is studying at Andalas University in Padang, escaped unhurt in the earthquake.

Ahmad Razif said Terengganu Foundation officers would visit Padang next week to look into the safety aspect of its students there.

He said the state government would send 50 medical students each to Egypt and Russia next year. — Bernama

Mumpung masih bahas sinetron, bini gw tadinya suka ama sinetron inayah tapi gara-gara anak gw mau ulangan jadi sibuk ikut belajar dan gak nonton lagi itu sinetron tapi suka ngomel gara-gara ngajarin anak jadi kelewat sinetron dan begitu anak2 selesai ulangan ya dah males lagi untuk nonton lanjutannya jadi TV kembali dikuasai film kartun.
Jadi penggemar sinetron pada dasarnya karena nonton tiap hari jadi penasaran ama kelanjutan critanya, begitu terputus ya males ngikutin ceritanya karena dah jauh.
Rata-rata penonton sinetron adalah ibu2 dan pembantunya. Perempuan yg berstatus remaja atau wanita karir apakah suka sinetron ya?
Kalo bapak2 kayaknya hampir gak ada dech yg suka sinetron

Seperti yang diinformasikan di dalam thread ini, di Malaysia, media di sana ngak terlalu melaporkan hal-hal buruk yang melibatkan Indonesia kerna dasar pemerintah di sana yang kononnya mahu menjaga hubungan baik antar negara.

Tapi sejak kasus, tarian pendet ini timbul, kayaknya mereka sudah mengobah dasar media ini.

Rebel outlines ‘invasion’ plan
By PHILIP GOLINGAI

Maintaining that it has valid reasons to ganyang Malaysia, Bendera’s leader reveals details of its planned invasion on Oct 8. Should we be worried?

JAKARTA’s forestry department was the most unlikely place to meet an Indonesian man who was six days away from waging a war against Malaysia.

But that was where my Indonesian journalist friend Samiaji Bintang brought me for a face-to-face interview with Adian Napitupulu, a 38-year-old Batak man spearheading a vigilante group that has vowed to ganyang (crush) Malaysia.

As we headed for our lunchtime appointment with Adian, the leader of Bendera (Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat or People’s Democratic Defence), I asked Samiaji how far the meeting place was from where Adian’s vigilante group conducted their “sweeping” of Malaysians.

“It is about 10km to 15km away,” said the 32-year-old journalist.

Hostile sweep: Bendera’s vigilantes, armed with sharpened bamboo sticks, blocking a road to search for Malaysians in Jakarta on Sept 8. – AFP

Far enough, I thought.

On Sept 8, a dozen Bendera vigilantes clad in red and white (the colour of the Indonesian flag) and armed with sharpened bamboo sticks set up roadblocks at Menteng in central Jakarta and checked ID card of passers-by to screen for Malaysians.

They failed to net any Malaysian.

On Friday afternoon, when most Indonesians were focused on the double earth quakes that devastated Sumatra, Samiaji and I entered one of the government buildings in the forestry department to locate Adian, who was in Regina Putera Cafe.

I did not know what to expect – a man carrying a sharpened bamboo stick, perhaps?

Outside the café at a Starbucks-like table sat three Indonesian men. I gave my business card to all of them, not knowing who was who. Adian turned out to be a skinny dark-skinned man wearing a white shirt and jeans.

“When was Bendera founded and what is its purpose?” were my first two questions as I wanted to gauge the hostility of the leader of the group that plans to invade Malaysia on Oct 8.

http://thestar.com.my/archives/2009/10/4/focus/n_20adian.jpg
Adian: ‘If 26 million Malaysians keep silent about other Malaysians abusing Indonesians, then they are all jahat’.

Speaking in Bahasa Indonesia, Adian, a member of PDI-P (Megawati Sukarnoputri’s Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle), said he founded Bendera two and a half months ago during the Indonesian presidential election as he found that political parties did not fight for the people’s rights.

“What has your fight for the people’s right got to do with Bendera’s ‘sweeping’ of Malaysians on Oct 8?” I asked.

“We were ‘sweeping’ Malaysians because (the Malaysian government) is ‘sweeping’ Indonesians in Malaysia,” said the man who was not involved in the Menteng ‘sweeping’ as he had other nationalistic duties on that day.

“We only managed to ‘sweep’ for 30 minutes because the police stopped us,” he added.

“What would you have done if you had managed to find a Malaysian that day?” I asked.

“Suruh pulang (tell them to go home),” he said as he smoked Djarum Super, a kretek (clove-flavoured) cigarette.

“Why did your men carry sharpened bamboo sticks?” I asked.

“It is the symbol of Indonesia’s independence struggle (from their Dutch coloniser),” he said.

When I asked if he had planned to use the bamboo stick on any Malaysian citizen that day, he replied: “We would only use it in Malaysia.”

He was referring to Bendera’s announcement – which was widely reported in the Indonesian and Malaysian media – that Oct 8 is their D-day to avenge all the wrongs committed by Malaysia against Indonesia.

Adian then gave me Bendera’s four-page war declaration with the bold headline “GANYANG MALAYSIA!”

The declaration stated that the Rentcong Aceh, panah Papua, Pedang Pattimura, mandau Kalimantan, keris Jawa, kujang Sunda, golok Betawi, badik Palembang and pedang Sisingamagaraja (Indonesian traditional weapons) had “bloodily” vowed to crush Malaysia’s arrogance.

It also listed several reportedly recalcitrant actions by Malaysians that have exhausted the patience of the people of Indonesia. The list included claiming Indonesian islands (Sipadan, Ligitan and Jemur); stealing Indonesian cultural heritage (food like rendang, songs like Rasa Sayang Sayange, Injit Injit Semut, Burung Kakak Tua, and Anak Kambing Saya, and the Pendet dance); and abusing Indonesian workers (it named 34 people including Nirmala Bonat who was abused with a hot iron, hot water and a metal cup by her employer in 2004).

“How’s your plan to attack Malaysia?” I asked.

Six weeks ago, according to Adian, 10 Bendera spies slipped into Malaysia to build a network among Indonesian workers. He claimed these Indonesian James Bonds managed to convince 1.45 million Indonesians – maids, construction and plantation workers – to burn their workplace when Bendera launches its confrontation on Malaysia.

When I pointed out that it would cost Bendera about RM145,000 just to text message the 1.45 million Indonesian workers (assuming the spies have all their phone numbers and an SMS costs 10 sen), Adian flashed his crooked teeth. “We’ve got our ways to communicate,” he stated.

“On paper, we have already won,” Adian said, again flashing his crooked teeth.

In World War II, according to him, the allies required two months to prepare for their attack on Germany. But Bendera does not need two months as it already has 1.45 million conspirators in Malaysia.

“That is why we have a different view from President SBY (pronounced as ‘ess-bay-yay’, the initials of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono). SBY said Indonesia cannot attack Malaysia as there are 1.8 million Indonesian workers in Malaysia. But for us the 1.8 million people are our strength to attack Malaysia.”

And then Adian started attacking Malaysia by showing the photographs (in the four-page declaration) of Indonesian maids being abused here.

“Look at this,” he said, pointing at the photograph of Nirmala.

“If Malaysia says that Malaysians and Indonesians are satu rumpun (the same stock), then why do they abuse their own rumpun?”

Pointing at a photograph of a man being caned, he asked angrily: “Why does your police, soldier and what do you call… Rela… abuse Indonesians?

“Do you know that once in three days an Indonesian is abused in Malaysia?”

On Oct 8, Adian claimed, about 300 Indonesians – trained in ilmu kebal (black magic) which makes them invincible to sharp objects and bullets – would invade Malaysia by attacking Malaysian towns in the island of Borneo (where Indonesia’s Kalimantan and Malaysia’s Sabah and Sarawak are located).

“From Pontianak (in Kalimantan) we will cross to Kuching (in Sarawak) and capture it. And then we will go to the next town. And from Nunukan (in Kalimantan) we will cross to the next town,” he said.

“What is that town?” I asked Adian, Bendera’s war strategist.

“I don’t know the name. But it is the town that we are going to capture,” he declared.

(Just for the record, the closest Malaysian town to Nunukan is Tawau in Sabah.)

In six to eight months, he confidentally predicted, Bendera would conquer Kuala Lumpur.

“Why don’t you just go straight for the jugular and attack Kuala Lumpur?” I asked.

“Uncle Mao’s military tactic was to first capture villages and then the city. We will capture your villages, your towns and eventually your capital,” he explained.

“What is your image of Malaysians?” I asked Adian who has never visited Malaysia.

“Jahat (evil),” he said.

“All 26 million Malaysians?” I asked.

“If 26 million Malaysians keep silent about other Malaysians abusing Indonesians, then they are all jahat,” he explained.

“How do you feel now that you are face to face with a Malaysian?” I asked.

“Mukanya baik. Mukanya lucu. Mukanya tak ada niat jahat (Your face looks nice. Your face looks humorous. Your face doesn’t show any evil intention),” he said, smiling while the handful of Indonesians who were intensely listening in to the interview burst out laughing.

“Are you Malaysian?” asked Poltak Sitanggang, 42, who owns a news website and had just finished interviewing Adian.

“Yes,” I said.

“Why don’t we ‘sweep’ him?” Poltak suggested to Adian.

“No, he is a funny guy,” Adian said.

I continued to smile.

And Adian continued his verbal tirade against on Malaysia.

“Malaysia has exported two terrorists (Noordin Mat Top and Dr Azahari Husin) to Indonesia. And yet the international community think that Indonesia is full of terrorists,” he said.

“Is it correct to say that the Indonesian government has not arrested you because it thinks your invasion plan is just omong omong kosong (empty talk)?” I ventured.

His face turning angry, he said the police had occupied Bendera’s headquarters (which was formerly used by Megawati’s PDI-P as their base).

He said he had received intimidating phone calls from people who have the power to intimidate. Others called to warn that attacking Malaysia was suicidal.

But he just switched off his phone when he received such calls, he said.

When told that an Indonesian Embassy official in Kuala Lumpur had said Bendera’s plan to invade Malaysia was “too ludicrous to respond to officially”, Adian said that was what the embassy thought.

“But they don’t know as it is not the Indonesian government which will invade Malaysia but Bendera.”

“So what are the chances of your group succeeding in its invasion plan?” I asked.

“In 1998, Suharto (the former Indonesian president) did not believe the students could make him step down. But it happened,” said Adian, one of the student leaders who had organised mass street protests against Suharto.

Poltak, a Batak, said he interviewed Adian because he was curious about the nationalistic views of the former student activist who had made a name for himself during the fall of Suharto.

“I’m not gila (crazy),” said Adian. “We have good reasons to attack Malaysia. Only crazy people attack (another country) without any reason.”

* * * * *

Maaf yah, tapi menurut saya, kayaknya Bapak Adian Napitupulu Bendera ini sangat bodoh dan sangat memalukan Bangsa Indonesia, sepertinya negara Indonesia ngak ada UU/hukum/seperti semua orang seperti masih tinggal di dalam gua atau di atas pokok (makanya dikit sikit perang, dikit dikit bunuh). Rakyat Malaysia sedang menanti adakah bener ada penaklukan yang Bendera rencanakan pada besok hari (8 October 2009).

Knife-wielding Indonesian pirates rob vessel off Malaysia's Tioman island
Posted: 05 December 2008 1812 hrs
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/394394/1/.html

KUALA LUMPUR : Knife-wielding Indonesian pirates travelling in two speedboats attacked a coal vessel off Malaysia's southern Johor state, a report said Friday.

Malaysian police said the vessel was sailing from Singapore to Thailand when it was intercepted and boarded by ten pirates at about 9pm (1300GMT) on Thursday, state news agency Bernama reported.

"Pirates with knives stole cash and handphones from the crew, mostly Indonesians, before vanishing without injuring anyone," district police chief Johari Jahaya told Bernama.

He said the vessel was attacked 10 nautical miles off the tourist resort of Tioman island in Malaysia's east coast state of Johor, in the South China Sea.

Johari told Bernama the crew reported losing 16 million rupiah (1,300 dollars) to the pirates who, officers said, were from Indonesia.

Police did not identify the owners of the coal vessel.

Johari said this was the second robbery involving pirates in Tioman waters this year. Most pirate attacks in the area happen in the Malacca Straits, off the west coast.

Malaysia's military says the waterway was pirate-free last year because of joint maritime and air patrols with neighbours Indonesia and Singapore.

Half of the world's oil shipments pass through the strategic Malacca Straits. Last month ship owners were urged to contribute to a fund to ensure safety in the international waterway. - AFP/ms

TERKAIT JUDI, WARGA SUMBAR TOLAK BANTUAN PEMERINTAH MALAYSIA
Harian Kota, 2 Oktober 2009

JAKARTA - Berbagai bantuan telah mengalir dan mulai menumpuk di Bandara Minangkabau, Padang, Sumatera Barat sejak Kamis lalu, hal ini cukup mengganggu kepadatan traffic di Bandara Minangkabau, Padang, Sumatera Barat, yang sudah cukup tinggi dan mengakibatkan sejumlah penerbangan mengalami delay. Bahkan pesawat yang ditumpangi Menteri Kesehatan Siti Fadilah Supari dan Menko Kesra Aburizal Bakrie sempat tertahan di udara Padang selama beberapa jam.

Namun ada yang menarik dari tumpukan bantuan tersebut, yaitu dipisahkannya bantuan dari Pemerintah Malaysia dengan bantuan dari negara-negara lainnya, hal ini di sebabkan karena adanya penolakan bantuan dari Pemerintah Malaysia dikarenakan alasan sumber dana Judi.

"Kami sangat berterimakasih atas kepedulian Pemerintah Malaysia, namun karena dibeberapa tempat terjadi penolakan dikarenakan alasan judi, kami memilih untuk memisahkan bantuan Pemerintah malaysia dengan bantuan negara lain, akan tetapi banyak juga bantuan dari perkumpulan warga minang di Malaysia yang mengirim bantuan dan tidak ditolak" ujar Kepala Distribusi Bantuan Bandara Minangkabau, Departemen Perhubungan Budi S Ervan.

Seperti diketahui Pemerintah Malaysia memiliki fasilitas perjudian terbaik dan terlengkap di Asia Tenggara dengan omset pendapatan 4 Milliar Dollar/tahun bernama Genting Highland, dan hal tersebut dinilai warga Sumatra Barat sangat bertolak belakang dengan budaya Muslim negeri Jiran tersebut.

Bantuan Pemerintah Malaysia berupa Mie Instan, Selimut, Tenda dan obat-obatan terlihat dibiarkan menumpuk di sisi kiri bandara Minagkabau dan sangat menggangu lalulintas bantuan korban gempa.

"Bantuan dari Negara Jepang yang tiba lebih dulu berupa 2500 Genset, 500 Tenda, 25 Instalasi penyaringan air, 400 Toilet portable dan 10 Kontainer Rumah Sakit Mini sudah kami sebarkan di 6 Kabupaten, sedang dari Pemerintah Amerika, Brasil, Jerman, Filipinna, Brunai, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam dan Russia berupa Beras, obat-obatan, tenda, selimut, bahan makanan, instalasi air yang total keseluruhan berjumlah sekitar 28.000 ton akan tiba mulai hari ini, kami berusaha berkadinasi Barkorlak dan Palang Merah Internasional untuk penyediaan tempat penyimpanan dan penyalurannya" ujar Budi S Ervan.

Menurut pembacaan saya, Genting Group (perusahaan yang punya kasino di Genting Highlands) tidak terlibat dalam pemberian bantuan kepada korban gempa. Masa kerna Genting Group operasinya di Malaysia, terus semua bantuan dari Malaysia dilabel haram dan datangnya dari sumber judi? Guna common sense dong (ini sepertinya persis kayak Bapak Bendera itu, semua 26 juta rakyat Malaysia menurut beliau jahat).

Di Malaysia, surau-surau kecil di desa-desa juga ngutip uang untuk didermakan kepada teman-teman seagama di Padang atas dasar saudara seIslam dan prihatin mau membantu, walaupun jumlah uangnya ngak banyak. Tapi dibalas segini? Bagus yah orang Indonesia.

Tapi dalam waktu yang sama, bantuan dari Singapore, Australi, Jepang dan semua negara bukan Islam yang lain diangung-agungkan. Apa sumber dana mereka halal? Mereka ngak ada kasino?

Isu makanan tamat tarikh luput jadi topik kedai kopi

http://www.utusan.com.my/pix/2009/1008/Utusan_Malaysia/Dalam_Negeri/dn_08.1.jpg
Sekumpulan mangsa gempa bumi melihat tarikh luput makanan bantuan dari Malaysia yang sebenarnya masih belum tamat di Padang, Sumatera Barat, Indonesia, semalam.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PADANG 7 Okt. - Dakwaan bahawa Malaysia menghantar bantuan makanan tamat tarikh luput kepada mangsa gempa bumi menjadi topik perbualan hangat penduduk di sini.

Isu yang disensasikan oleh media Indonesia itu menyebabkan ramai di antara mereka bertindak mengecam Malaysia tanpa usul periksa.

Turut menerima tempias penulis dan jurufoto Utusan Malaysia, Ahmad Zakki Jilan yang singgah bersarapan di sebuah warung di Kota Pariaman, dekat sini, sebelum membuat liputan di kawasan perkampungan berdekatan.

Menyedari kami berasal dari Malaysia, beberapa penduduk tempatan terus bertanyakan mengenai bantuan makanan yang sudah tamat tarikh luput itu.

Kata mereka, perkara itu adalah sesuatu yang tidak wajar kerana ia bagaikan menghina mangsa gempa khususnya dan Indonesia amnya.

''Bapak dari Malaysia ya? Kenapa dihantar makanan yang sudah luput tarikh, tidak wajar bapak!'' katanya sambil menunjuk ke arah televisyen yang secara kebetulan menyiarkan berita yang memperkatakan mengenai isu itu.

Pertanyaan yang diajukan dalam nada menyindir itu menyebabkan Ahmad Zakki menjelaskan keadaan sebenar dengan menunjukkan foto pek makanan bantuan yang kebetulan berada dalam komputer ribanya.

Pada pek makanan itu tertera dengan jelas bahawa tarikh luput makanan berkenaan ialah November dan Disember ini.

Selepas melihat bukti itu, mereka menunjukkan sikap yang terbuka dan menyatakan kekesalan dengan laporan media Indonesia.

Malah, salah seorang daripada mereka, Perri, 40, menawarkan kepada kami untuk menjadi juru pandu secara sukarela.

Lebih menarik, beliau juga bertindak sebagai 'duta kecil' Malaysia dengan memberikan penerangan mengenai isu itu kepada penduduk kampung tempat kami melakukan tinjauan.

''Mereka menonton televisyen dan mempercayainya bulat-bulat,'' katanya.

Isu makanan bantuan tamat tarikh luput itu berpunca daripada penggunaan kotak lama untuk mengisi pek makanan berkenaan.

Pada kotak itu tertera tarikh 2008 yang sebenarnya sudah ditampal dengan kertas tertulis tarikh 2009, tetapi tertanggal dalam perjalanan ke sini. - Utusan

.....to all indonesian reporters....enufla....its time 4 us to move on!!!!.....adalah lebih baik untuk kita saling bantu membantu!!!!.....

Orang Padang 'besar hati' bantuan Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR 7 Okt. - Pusat Rawatan Kemanusiaan Malaysia yang terletak di tengah bandar Padang, Indonesia sentiasa menjadi tumpuan masyarakat setempat meskipun media republik itu terus melemparkan pelbagai dakwaan yang mencemar imej negara.

Pusat rawatan yang beroperasi 24 jam itu menerima lebih 100 pesakit setiap hari yang terdiri daripada mangsa gempa bumi serta penduduk kawasan tersebut.

Konsul Jeneral Malaysia di Medan, Fauzi Omar berkata, rata-rata masyarakat Padang menerima bantuan kemanusiaan Malaysia dengan perasaan 'besar hati' sejak hari pertama bencana menimpa mereka.

''Tidak ada pula riak di wajah mereka yang menunjukkan tidak suka pada kita. Sebaliknya mereka sangat menghargai serta menghormati negara kita,'' ujarnya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia hari ini.

Katanya, penduduk Padang lebih selesa mengunjungi Pusat Rawatan Kemanusiaan Malaysia kerana mudah berkomunikasi dengan para petugasnya.

Fauzi juga berkata, usaha mencari rakyat Malaysia yang mungkin terperangkap di bawah runtuhan bangunan masih dilakukan dengan kerjasama pelbagai pihak.

Jelasnya, sehingga kini belum ada rakyat negara ini dilaporkan terkorban akibat bencana alam itu.

Jakarta to act if need arises
2009/10/08

By Joseph Sipalan

KUALA LUMPUR: The Indonesian government will clamp down on any real threat to Malaysia from its shores.

Widyarka Ryananta, the minister counsellor for information, social and culture at the Indonesian Embassy here, said the Indonesian government had made it clear that it would take strong action against any group if it was proven they had broken the law.

He said the embassy had relayed to Jakarta the concerns here for appropriate action to be taken should Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat (Bendera) actually launch its 1,500-strong assault on Malaysia today.

Widyarka stressed, however, that until and unless the group crossed the line, the matter was considered a non-issue, adding protests were a normal part of everyday life in Indonesia.

"Sometimes, things are said out of anger but they do not reflect the thoughts of the larger population. Indonesia is a democracy and there will be people who won't like certain things, just like here in Malaysia. It is normal, but what is clear is that the Indonesian government will take stiff action if the law is broken.

"If they (Bendera) go through with their plan, the police will take action."

Bendera's coordinator Mustar Bona Ventura said on Tuesday that their 1,500 "troops" would depart from Surabaya, south Kalimantan and other cities for an assault on Malaysia today.

In late September, he declared the group's intention to wage war against Malaysia to avenge all the wrongs committed against Indonesia by its neighbour.

Indonesian invasion 'unlikely'
2009/10/08

KAJANG: Police yesterday assured Malaysians of their safety following threats by an Indonesian group to "invade" the country.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said security forces were always prepared to face any threat, including that from the Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat (Bendera) group.

He advised the public to consult the police if they had any queries, instead of jumping to conclusions.

"We have the expertise in this field and will look into every aspect to ensure the country's security."

Ismail said all agencies involved in security have been informed, will be kept on alert and will be at borders to ensure that no untoward incident takes place.

Meanwhile, Amy Chew reports from Jakarta that Malaysian students in Indonesia have been advised to remain inside their campuses.

There are currently 5,900 Malaysian students spread across Indonesia, with the largest numbers concentrated in Medan, Sumatra and Bandung in West Java .

"We have told the students to keep a low profile, stay inside their campus, no clubbing and other measures," a Malaysian embassy official told the New Straits Times.

"We have requested the Indonesian police to keep an eye out for this group of people."

Bendera plans to invade Malaysia today with 1,500 men armed with sharpened bamboo sticks who will arrive by ships.

The National Malaysian Students Organisation in Indonesia said Indonesia's right to freedom of expression must be balanced by a sense of responsibility.

"The freedom (of expression) which can damage the image of Indonesia and damage Indonesia 's bilateral ties with other countries should be controlled by the government," said Ahmad Nabieh Abqozy, deputy chairman of the students' organisation.

The 23-year-old medical student at Trisakti University in Jakarta said he was treated well by Indonesian students.

"The Indonesian students are nice to us and so are the people living in the surrounding area.

"I feel fine in general. But when there are sweeping and road blocks, I do feel anxious."

Hati dua si jelita terpaut di Malaysia
Oleh Norhadiani Baharom
yanie@hmetro.com.my

BIAR apapun konflik antara Malaysia dan Indonesia ketika ini, Kuala Lumpur tetap menjadi destinasi pilihan artis dari seberang untuk melebarkan karier seni mereka.

Melanie Putria Dewita Sari, 27, dan Intan Nuraini, 24, dua artis wanita meningkat naik di Indonesia turut memasang impian membina kerjaya yang kukuh di negara ini sebagaimana artis 'senior' Indonesia, Rossa, Kris Dayanti, Acha Septriasa, Irwansyah, kumpulan Dewa 19 dan Ungu.

Intan yang melonjak menerusi drama siri Bukan Cinderella berkata, pertama kali mengunjungi Malaysia hatinya sudah terpaut dengan keramahan dan keterbukaan rakyat negara ini.

"Di sini saya tidak berasa asing, malah seperti di negara sendiri. Media tempatan juga memberi sokongan dan melayani saya dengan baik sekali.

"Sayang sekali ya jika terjadi apa-apa kerana saya merasakan perbalahan tidak seharusnya berlaku antara Malaysia dan Indonesia. Saya juga punya teman di sini dan mereka bahagia sekali berada di sini," katanya.

Melanie pula mengakui sudah lama mendengar keunikan Malaysia dan bangga akhirnya dapat menjejakkan kaki di Kuala Lumpur.

"Di sini sangat maju dan persekitarannya juga bersih. Malah, teman medianya juga sopan tidak seperti di Jakarta, ramai artis bimbang ditemubual wartawan.

"Sebagai artis baru, sememangnya saya berbangga kerana diundang ke sini dan berharap suatu hari nanti dapat membina nama di Malaysia sebagaimana kebanyakan artis senegara yang lain," katanya.

Dua artis jelita ini berkunjung ke Kuala Lumpur bulan lalu untuk promosi album Sinar Lebaran terbitan Suria Records (SRC) bersama Revalina S Temat dan Acha.

Ternyata cinta mendalam kedua-duanya terhadap muzik menemukan mereka dalam menerusi pembikinan album kerohanian, Sang Penciptaku.

because,. they got the money from that kind of news...

Its totally different with Malaysia, while censorship is still in place, pretty much stricter than Indonesia.

True. What more if the Malaysians would experience the Filipino reporters hehehehe....some are really hard hitting, pounding comments on radio, TV...sometimes it leads to killing of journalists because of revenge and "too hot to handle".

Indonesian Vigilantes Ready to Start Invading Malaysia on Friday, Leader Says

Although their plans have been widely condemned by officials, the People’s Democratic Defense (Bendera) announced on Thursday that they are ready to invade Malaysia and would start to dispatch volunteer vigilantes on October 9.

Speaking at a press conference in Jakarta, Bendera coordinator Mustar Nona Ventura said they would not be deterred.

“We will dispatch volunteers as we’ve scheduled. Nothing will stop us from doing it, including threats from the Malaysian National Security Council or the Indonesian Police.”

He said that around 1,300 volunteers would depart for Malaysia between October 9 and 22, including 50 medics.

“They will enter through pathways that will be unexpected for Malaysian security,” he said.

“Besides the volunteers, there are already 8000 Indonesian migrant workers [in Malaysia] who have committed to support what we do.”

In response to an earlier statement by a Malaysian official that more security officers would be deployed to border areas to stop Bendera, Bonar said the volunteers are not afraid and regard it as an empty threat.

“It is not scary to anyone and it shows Malaysia’s significant fear of Bendera,” he said.

He also criticized a previous statement from a police spokesman that threatened to arrest any Bendera activists who attack Malaysia. Bona said the police should actually support and protect them from Malaysians who try to stop them from invading.

“If the police consider our actions a threat, then it will weaken our spirit to struggle and defend our country’s sovereignty. So we apologize if it [the police’s statement] will not change our intentions,” Bona said.

“I think would be better for the Police and Ministry of Foreign Affairs to honestly disclose the true number of Indonesians who have died from torture or murder in Malaysia,” he said.

Responding to the statement, Indonesian Military spokesman Air Vice Marshall Sagom Tamboen said they would not deploy special forces to stop the Bendera activists from entering Malaysia.

He said that the current immigration officers and soldiers on duty on the country’s borders were enough to prevent any attack.

“Surely our officers at the borders already know what to do. The officers will take the best steps, which in this case, will be by asking them to go home,” Tamboen said.

Ribuan Relawan Ganyang Malaysia Diberangkatkan Mulai 9 Oktober

Laporan wartawan kompas..com Rosdianah Dewi

JAKARTA, kompas..com - Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat (Bendera) akan memberangkatkan 1.500 relawan ke Malaysia. Langkah ini dilakukan guna mempertahankan kedaulatan dan martabat bangsa. Dan juga untuk melindungi setiap warga negara Indonesia yang berada di Malaysia.

Koordinator Bendera, Mustar Bona Ventura, mengutip Sekretaris Nasional Central Bureau (NCB)-Indonesia, Brigjen Pol Halba Rubis Nugroho, mengatakan setiap hari, satu WNI meninggal di Malaysia. "Dan dalam tiga tahun terakhir, 1.421 WNI tewas di Malaysia karena penyiksaan dan pembunuhan. Hal itu tidak bisa didiamkan. Bendera pasti akan turun tangan dengan atau tanpa ijin" ujar Mustar di Jakarta, Kamis (8/10)

Menurut Mustar, pihak Bendera tidak gentar walau Dewan Keamanan Nasional Malaysia telah menyiagakan keamanan di setiap perbatasan untuk menghadapi kedatangan relawan Bendera.

Bendera tetap akan memberangkatkan para relawan sesuai jadwal awal. Pemberangkatan relawan berjumlah 1.500 ini akan dilakukan secara bertahap melalui jalur masuk yang tidak pernah akan diduga oleh Malaysia. "Bisa melalui jalur udara, darat dan laut. Tapi tidak bisa kita jelaskan secara rinci," ujar Mustar.

Pemberangkatan pertama dilakukan pada tanggal 9 Oktober. Pada waktu itu, Bendera akan memberangkatkan 200 relawan, dan diperkirakan sampai ke Malaysia pada tanggal 14 Oktober 2009.

Pemberangkatan berikutnya, 125 relawan pada tanggal 11 Oktober, 125 relawan lainnya pada tanggal 15 Oktober, 600 relawan pada tanggal 17 dan 19 Oktober, 400 relawan pada tanggal 22 Oktober. Dan pemberangkatan terakhir pada tanggal 25 Oktober, yaitu 50 tim medis.

Mustar mengaku aksi ini didukung 8.000 Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) yang berada di Malaysia. "Tercatat 8.000 TKI yang siap bergabung dan mendukung gerilya yang dilakukan oleh relawan Bendera" katanya.

Indonesian Vigilantes Ready to Start Invading Malaysia on Friday, Leader Says

Although their plans have been widely condemned by officials, the People’s Democratic Defense (Bendera) announced on Thursday that they are ready to invade Malaysia and would start to dispatch volunteer vigilantes on October 9.

Speaking at a press conference in Jakarta, Bendera coordinator Mustar Nona Ventura said they would not be deterred.

“We will dispatch volunteers as we’ve scheduled. Nothing will stop us from doing it, including threats from the Malaysian National Security Council or the Indonesian Police.”

He said that around 1,300 volunteers would depart for Malaysia between October 9 and 22, including 50 medics.

“They will enter through pathways that will be unexpected for Malaysian security,” he said.

“Besides the volunteers, there are already 8000 Indonesian migrant workers [in Malaysia] who have committed to support what we do.”

In response to an earlier statement by a Malaysian official that more security officers would be deployed to border areas to stop Bendera, Bonar said the volunteers are not afraid and regard it as an empty threat.

“It is not scary to anyone and it shows Malaysia’s significant fear of Bendera,” he said.

He also criticized a previous statement from a police spokesman that threatened to arrest any Bendera activists who attack Malaysia. Bona said the police should actually support and protect them from Malaysians who try to stop them from invading.

“If the police consider our actions a threat, then it will weaken our spirit to struggle and defend our country’s sovereignty. So we apologize if it [the police’s statement] will not change our intentions,” Bona said.

“I think would be better for the Police and Ministry of Foreign Affairs to honestly disclose the true number of Indonesians who have died from torture or murder in Malaysia,” he said.

Responding to the statement, Indonesian Military spokesman Air Vice Marshall Sagom Tamboen said they would not deploy special forces to stop the Bendera activists from entering Malaysia.

He said that the current immigration officers and soldiers on duty on the country’s borders were enough to prevent any attack.

“Surely our officers at the borders already know what to do. The officers will take the best steps, which in this case, will be by asking them to go home,” Tamboen said.

Menurut saya, media Indonesia ngak berminat melaporkan berita kayak segini kerna sifatnya itu yang antagonis adalah Indonesia. Newsnya pasti besar-besaran kalo yang jahat itu pihak Malaysia. News ini saya lihat ada kok di portal2 news media Indonesia, cuman mungkin kamu aja yang ngak ambil pusing untuk baca. Lihat aja, walaupun kasus korban gempa belum selesai, kasus BENDERA mau ganyang Malaysia, eh publik Indonesia lebih milih berita Miyabi, Atmajaya, vagina, Antasari dan Puteri Indonesia sebagai lebih penting. Secara tidak langsung, ia representasi mentalitas warga Indonesia secara general.

Menurut saya pemerintah Malaysia mengambil langkah waspada fearing the worst. Kiranya kalau ada analogi, perkara ini diliat seperti penumpang yang naik pesawat yang lagi iseng-iseng ada bom di atas pesawat kepada awak. Kalo di Malaysia, bapak Ardian Batak Bendera itu sudah lama ditangkap polisi dibawah ISA.

Hello, its Saturday and there's no sign of any invasion. Joke of the year by UMNO, lol.
Ngak logik sekali point itu. To begin with, UMNO is just a component of the ruling party. Pertanyaan itu sepatutnya ditanya kepada Bapak Ardian Batak Bendera itu, kenapa sampai sekarang masih ditunda keberangkatan berapa ribu ahli Bendera yang semuanya kebal itu. Foto bapak itu juga ada untuk referensi.

what if i said that just a hoax to give malyasian govt a reason for troop placement in the border?
Pemerintah Malaysia memang meletakkan pos-pos tentaranya (darat, laut dan udara) berhampiran perbatasan, dalam jarak yang strategis (tidak bisa nyampai oleh rudal negara tetangga jika ada). Ia diaplikasikan kepada semua tetangga yang punya perbatasan dengan Malaysia - Singapura, Thailand, Brunei dan Indonesia. Jadi menurut saya ngak ada isu bikin ura-ura untuk meletakkan tentera di perbatasan kerna tentaranya memang udah siap berhampiran perbatasan all this while.

Jika saya bisa share, publik di Malaysia sebenarnya sangat hairan kenapa udah di tahun 2009, masih ada negara yang mau 'ganyang' negara lain, sepertinya tiada rasa hormat dan kuasa hukum yang berlaku.

Secara peribadi, saya rasa ntar lanjutan dari peristiwa ini, warga Indonesia yang bekerja di Malaysia yang paling rugi. Mereka akan dipandang rendah, dipinggir (kerna publik Malaysia mungkin menyangka mereka jahat), high possibility diberhentikan kerja dan dihantar pulang (udah ada ura2 ramai di kalangan publik/perusahaan yang ngak mau lagi mencari pembantu/pekerja dari Indonesia lagi kerna banyak ulah dan sering macam2 kayak gini) dan worse, terlibat dalam jenayah di Malaysia kalo udah ngak ada pekerjaan. Umum di Malaysia tau bener kalo yang copet, rampok itu rata2 kerjanya TKI, tapi pastinya, berita2 kayak gini ngak dilaporkan sama sekali oleh media Indonesia.

RI-Australia Perlu Bentuk Komisi Independen Laut Timor
Minggu, 11 Oktober 2009 19:05 WIB | Peristiwa | Politik/Hankam

Kupang (ANTARA News) - Ketua Yayasan Peduli Timor Barat (YPTB) Ferdi Tanoni berpendapat, Indonesia dan Australia perlu segera membentuk sebuah komisi independen untuk menyelidiki pencemaran minyak mentah (crude oil) di Laut Timor.

"Masalah pencemaran dan kerusakan lingkungan ini sudah merupakan masalah universal sehingga sudah menjadi kewajiban seluruh dunia untuk menanganinya secara bersama," katanya kepada pers di Kupang, Minggu.

Tumpahan minyak mentah yang mencemari Laut Timor itu terjadi setelah meledaknya sumur minyak Montara di Laut Timor pada 21 Agustus lalu yang memuntahkan sekitar 500.000 liter minyak setiap hari.

"Ini sebuah situasi yang sulit sehingga perlu dibentuk sebuah komisi independen antara Indonesia-Australia dengan tugas khusus menyelidiki tumpahan minyak di Laut Timor tersebut," kata Tanoni yang juga pemegang mandat hak ulayat masyarakat adat Timor, Rote Ndao, Sabu dan Alor itu.

Ia berpendapat, Indonesia tidak bisa mengatakan bahwa masalah pencemaran tersebut adalah merupakan tanggung jawab Australia semata.

Demikian pun sebaliknya dengan Australia yang menyebut pencemaran di Laut Timor, khususnya di Zona Ekonomi Eksklusif (ZEE) Indonesia tidak signifikan.

Tanoni juga mengharapkan pemerintah Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) perlu segera bersinergi dengan masyarakat untuk mendesak pemerintah pusat agar secepatnya mengatasi masalah pencemaran di Laut Timor saat ini.

"Nelayan tradisional Indonesia yang selama beratus tahun menggantungkan nasib mereka di laut Timor telah merasakan dampak dari pada pencemaran ini. Kondisi di Laut Timor saat ini, sudah pada tingkat mengkhawatirkan," katanya.

Menurut penulis buku, "Skandal Laut Timor, Sebuah Barter Politik Ekonomi Politik Canberra-Jakarta" ini, masalah pencemaran lingkungan seperti yang terjadi di Laut Timor saat ini bisa digugat di Mahkamah Internasional.

Ia menambahkan, rangkaian sejumlah usul tersebut telah disampaikan oleh pihaknya melalui surat elektronik kepada Menteri Lingkungan Hidup dan Australia pada Jumat (9/10).

Ia mengemukakan bahwa dalam surat elektroniknya itu, ia juga meminta pemerintahan kedua negara untuk membentuk sebuah komisi independen yang beranggotakan tokoh masyarakat dan para pakar lingkungan dan geologi independen dari kedua negara agar hasil penyelidikan tersebut menjadi objektif.

Ladang gas Montara yang meledak pada 21 Agustus 2009 itu terletak sekitar 690 km barat Darwin, Australia utara dan 250 km barat laut Truscott di Australia barat dan letaknya lebih dekat dengan gugusan Pulau Pasir (ashmore reef).

Akibat meledaknya ladang minyak tersebut pada 21 Agustus lalu menumpahkan sekitar 500 ribu liter minyak mentah ke laut setiap hari dan telah mematikan ribuan ekor ikan di wilayah perairan tersebut.(*)

Malaysia salur AS$1 juta kepada mangsa gempa Padang

PADANG: Kerajaan Malaysia bersetuju untuk menyalurkan bantuan sebanyak AS$1 juta (RM3.5 juta) bagi membantu mangsa gempa bumi yang berlaku pada 30 September lalu di Padang, Indonesia.

Menteri Pertahanan, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, berkata bantuan kewangan itu bagi membantu membangunkan semula sekolah, rumah ibadat dan kemudahan lain.

Beliau berkata, keputusan itu mendapat persetujuan jemaah menteri dan akan disalurkan secepat mungkin melalui Kementerian Luar Malaysia kepada Kementerian Luar Indonesia.

"Tumpuan diberikan untuk membangunkan semula sekolah dan rumah ibadat kerana ianya adalah kegunaan umum dan boleh dimanfaatkan oleh penduduk di Padang," katanya kepada pemberita ketika melawat kawasan gempa bumi dan mendengar taklimat oleh gabenor Sumatera Barat Gamawan Fauzi di Istana Gabenor Sumatera Barat di sini hari ini.

Selain dari sumber kerajaan, beliau berkata kutipan melalui tabung bencana alam anjuran media dan pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang dianggarkan bernilai RM10 juta akan turut disalurkan kepada mangsa gempa bumi di Padang.

Katanya, bantuan yang dihulurkan oleh Malaysia kepada rakyat Indonesia membuktikan keprihatinan kerajaan dan seluruh rakyat Malaysia atas musibah yang menimpa negara jiran paling rapat.

"Keprihatinan kami adalah ikhlas bukannya retorik atau kata-kata semata-mata. Kita berharap rakyat di Indonesia khususnya di Padang turut ikhlas menerima bantuan kami," katanya. - Bernama

Penyerang Malaysia Akan Dihalau TNI

INILAH.COM, Kuching - Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat (Bendera) yang berencana menyerang Malaysia pada Oktober ini akan dihalau oleh TNI dan kepolisian yang bertugas di Entikong, Kalimantan Barat. Namun, hingga kini tidak ada tanda-tanda kelompok itu akan melakukan penyerangan.

"Hingga saat ini tidak ada tanda-tanda pasukan Bendera gunakan perbatasan Entikong untuk masuk ke wilayah Sarawak, Malaysia. Saya tidak yakin mereka akan menyerang Malaysia," kata Danrem Kol TNI Inf Nukman Khosadi, di sela-sela kunjungan Dubes RI untuk Malaysia Da'i Bachtiar ke Kuching dan wilayah perbatasan, Minggu (11/10).

Pihaknya, kata Nukman, telah memantau di 31 pos perlintasan perbatasan. Namun, hingga kini tidak ada tanda-tanda mereka datang dan mencoba masuk ke wilayah Malaysia. "Jika memang ada kami akan kami segera halau mereka," kata Nukman, yang terus memantau pos-pos perbatasan bersama-sama dengan tentara darat Malaysia.

Ancaman Bendera, kata dia, tidak logis. Sebab, untuk menggerakkan 1.500 orang itu bukan persoalan yang mudah. "Bagaimana transportasinya. Bagaimana logistiknya. Apalagi mau menyerang Malaysia hanya dengan bambu runcing, samurai, dan parang. Omong kosonglah ancaman mereka," katanya.

Ancaman Bendera yang ingin menyerang Malaysia, kata dia, hanya dibesar-besarkan saja oleh pers Malaysia beberapa hari belakangan ini. Di Indonesia, ancaman mereka tidak ada yang menghiraukan.[*/nuz]

Sama sahaja, di Indonesia pastinya juga akan lebih banyak media massa yang memberitakan kejahatan-kejahatan yang dilakukan warga Msia atau pemerintah nya yang dilakukan terhadap rakyat Indonesia.
Tapi, yang pastinya, media massa di Indonesia juga banyak memuat berita2 kegagalan atau kejelekan pemerintah Indonesia dan untuk hal ini saya sangat jarang membaca/melihat di berita media Msia yang akan memuat kegagalan atau kejelekan pemerintahan mereka....:p

Kelompok bendera ini sama sekali tidak terkenal (saya baru tahu di forum ini) jadi jumlah anggotanya tentu sangat sedikit dan kegiatannya tidak jelas. Masih kalah jika dibanding kelompok FPI, FBR, MHI, dll.
to ARief, tidak semua orang Indonesia benci malaysia, adalah wajar jika dalam suatu kelompok jika ada yg suka dan ada yg benci, dan ini adalah baik jadi bisa balance. Jika semua suka nanti bisa muncul ide kenapa tidak jadi satu negara saja. Jika semua benci nanti bisa timbul perang. Jadi sebaiknya memang ada yg benci dan ada yg suka...supaya balance. Bagaimana dg orang malaysia thd indonesia? (kita bicara orang saja bukan pemerintah)

^^
I agree to u :)
Saya lihat, ramai juga rakyat Msia yg tidak suka Indonesia, mereka suka bising2 laahh ....:):nuts:
Dan jangan lah u all kira, rakyat Indonesia membenci semua rakyat Msia :bash:
Sebagai maklumat je, ISA di Indonesia sejak era reformasi 1997/1998 memang sudah tak de, di Indonesia dahulu namanya Undang-Undang Subversif (if I'm not mistaken). Sama sahaja dengan ISA, jika u all hanya kumpul2 atau cakap2 hal yang mencurigakan, pasti lah u all akan ditangkap. Orang baru bising2 sahaja sudah ditangkap dan masuk jail, without any court.
Namun, sekarang sejak era reformasi, rakyat Indonesia boleh cakap apa sahaja, boleh mengkritik siapa sahaja, hanya jika ada pihak yang tak suka dan merasa difitnah, maka siap2 lah untuk dituntut oleh pihak2 yang merasa dirugikan :)
Oya, terima kasih yaa to u all Malaysian yang dah membantu korban gempa Sumatera, tak payahlah bising2 yee...Jika u all nak bantu, bantulah dengan ikhlas. Rakyat Indonesia juga tak minta2 ke Msia atau negara lain untuk membantu, Presiden SBY mengatakan, jika nak bantu sila, jika tak nak tak pa, lah :)
Negara2 lain juga banyak yang bantu para korban gempa Sumatera, namun saya lihat sepertinya rakyat negara lain tak bising2 seperti orang Msia :p

Timor Leste Klaim Wilayah Naktuka di NTT

KUPANG - Pemerintah Republik Demokratik Timor Leste (RDTL) mengklaim wilayah Naktuka di Desa Netemnanu, Kabupaten Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) sebagai wilayah mereka.

"Timor Leste sudah mengklaim wilayah tersebut sekitar tiga kilometer masuk ke wilayah Indonesia," kata Raja Amfong, Robi Manoh di Kupang, Minggu (11/10).

Wilayah RI yang telah dikuasai Timor Leste tersebut, belum diputuskan dalam berbagai pertemuan antara delegasi Indonesia dan Timor Leste sehingga tidak boleh ada aktivitas di sana.

Pertemuan antara Indonesia dan Timor Leste sudah dilakukan tiga kali, yakni pada Desember 2002 di Jakarta, kemudian Maret 2003 di Denpasar-Bali dan April 2003 di Timor Leste.

Kedua negara belum bersepakat sehingga lokasi masih status quo. "Timor Leste melanggar itu, karena di wilayah itu telah dihuni 42 kepala keluarga dan dijaga ketat oleh kepolisian Timor Leste," katanya.

Secara adat, lanjutnya, masyarakat Oeccuse telah mengakui wilayah tersebut masuk dalam wilayah Amfoang, namun secara politik Timor Leste tidak mengakui itu.

Manoh mengatakan, awalnya batas wilayah Amfoang dan wilayah Timor Leste adalah sungai Noel Besi, namun sekarang penduduk Timor Leste di Distrik Oeccuse telah melewati sungai itu sampai radius tiga kilometer hingga sebuah parit bernama Nonomna.

"Jarak parit dengan Pos TNI sekitar satu kilometer. Parit inilah yang diklaim Timor Leste sebagai batas negara antara RI-Timor Leste," katanya.

Padahal, selama bertahun-tahun lokasi sebelum Noel Besi adalah milik Indonesia, sesuai perjanjian Portugis dan Belanda pada 1904. Ketika itu Oeccuse adalah jajahan Portugis, sedangkan wilayah Timor bagian barat adalah jajahan Belanda.

"Kita minta Pemerintah segera menuntaskan persoalan tersebut wilayah ini agar tidak berkembang menjadi konflik," katanya.

Diketahui, lima titik wilayah RI di perbatasan RI-Timor Leste kini menjadi persoalan serius, karena diklaim Timor Leste sebagai miliknya. Lima titik itu adalah Imbate, Sumkaem, Haumeniana, Nimlat, dan Tubu Banat.

:lol:

I think you should read the whole article from Jakarta Globe, esp the interview with one of the Bendera's guy. Infact the reporter brought his friend, a Malaysian, with him and asked the Bendera's guy what he will do with it. And he told that he'll do nothing to him cause he is very funny (the MalaysiaN). The point is, this movement shouldnt be taken too seriously (its a joke)... I mean go war with sharped bamboo???? RUBBISH!

apa kaitan/masalah ISA dengan u?...or dengan negara/org Indonesia?.
what is your point actually then?.

His point is, that there's also some Malaysians too that have hatred towards Indonesians. But of course, as ISA applied, the Malaysian media are rare (more likely never) to blow up that kind of stories. On the other hand, some Indonesians have hatred towards Malaysians, and that's always the side where the media can make "good news". For free country like us, there's a say for the media world that the good news is BAD NEWS. The media can make any story from good to bad, even rubbish. And as in time, Indonesian are get used of this condition... so some Indonesian like me is never put this rubbish story to our attention, as its just one of a joke.. war with bamboo???

Oya, terima kasih yaa to u all Malaysian yang dah membantu korban gempa Sumatera, tak payahlah bising2 yee...Jika u all nak bantu, bantulah dengan ikhlas.

Negara2 lain juga banyak yang bantu para korban gempa Sumatera, namun saya lihat sepertinya rakyat negara lain tak bising2 seperti orang Msia :p

If u learn more about mass media, u will know the concept, "Bad news is the Good news" :)
Bukankah, media massa di Msia juga sering memberitakan kejelekan-kejelekan yang dilakukan orang Indonesia atau tentang negara Indonesia??
Sama sahaja, di Indonesia pastinya juga akan lebih banyak media massa yang memberitakan kejahatan-kejahatan yang dilakukan warga Msia atau pemerintah nya yang dilakukan terhadap rakyat Indonesia.
Tapi, yang pastinya, media massa di Indonesia juga banyak memuat berita2 kegagalan atau kejelekan pemerintah Indonesia dan untuk hal ini saya sangat jarang membaca/melihat di berita media Msia yang akan memuat kegagalan atau kejelekan pemerintahan mereka....:p

yeah, i know 'bad news is the good news'.. bcoz this is good for selling rite...

n yup, i also know about the 'balance thing'. In this world we need both, pstv n ngtv media.. but if it is too much ngtv we can now what just happened between Msia n Indonesia..

All we need is love.. Saya harap tidak ada lagi media samaada dari Msia atau Indonesia yang cuba meletakkan minyak ke dalam api...:)

I dont close threads unless its REALLY out of topic, its like censorship. I would rather use this thread as to educate Indonesian forumers on how to discuss and understand whats happening in our neighbors. If i closed this thread, then the purpose for understanding both countries will be failed miserably...

We should not avoid the problem, we should challenge the problem...

the problem here, Indonesia and Malaysian forumers doesn't have much understanding...and one thread is closed, another day, there will be another one comes up....

the Thread starter once telling me, He want our fellow forumers to see and learn the development of our neighbors, so lets be it....

Saya tahu rakyat Msia bising masalah bantuan untk korban gempa Padang krn saya pernah baca di akbar Berita Harian (saya lupa tariknya) yang isinya coment2 rakyat Msia kendiri. U know what they said, one of them said that, "untuk apa membantu seseorang yang tidak tahu berterima kasih" Ada lagi, "bendera Msia adalah bendera keramat, bencana lah jadinya jika bendera Msia dibakar". dan coment2 miring lainnya :bash:

Beraya anak rantau
Oleh ROHANA MAN
rohana.man@kosmo.com.my

Tiada air mata yang mengalir kala anak-anak rantau dari Indonesia menyambut Aidilfitri di asrama penginapan mereka di Senai, Johor baru-baru ini.

http://www.kosmo.com.my/kosmo/pix/2009/1013/Kosmo/Varia/va_01.1.jpg
JUADAH tradisi Malaysia dan Indonesia disediakan untuk tetamu.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MERAIH rezeki di bumi orang semestinya memerlukan banyak pengorbanan. Malah ada yang sanggup memendam perasaan untuk tidak pulang menjenguk orang tua pada hari raya yang lalu.

Kebiasaannya, seluruh anggota keluarga akan berusaha untuk balik ke kampung bagi meraikan 1 Syawal bersama ayah bonda dan keluarga tercinta. Namun, bagi anak rantau, itu sukar dilakukan terutama bagi yang bekerja di sektor industri. Bukan sahaja soal menyediakan tambang pergi dan balik ke kampung, malah faktor cuti yang sukar diperoleh turut memaksa anak rantau menyambut hari raya di bumi orang.

Bagi segelintir anak rantau, mungkin jiwa mereka sudah kental untuk mengenang mereka yang tersayang di kampung halaman. Justeru, tiada air mata yang mengalir kala anak-anak rantau dari Indonesia menyambut Aidilfitri di asrama penginapan mereka di Senai, Johor baru-baru ini.

Saya terpanggil untuk turut memeriahkan Majlis Rumah Terbuka Hari Raya '09 Asrama Yamauchi di Senai pada 4 Oktober lalu semata-mata memenuhi jemputan seorang kenalan dari Palembang, Satina Thosin, 33. Saya mengenalinya ketika saya dan rakan-rakan pendaki Malaysia mengadakan ekspedisi mendaki Gunung Dempo di Pagar Alam, Palembang, Indonesia kira-kira dua tahun yang lalu.

Menurutnya, dia baru setahun lebih bekerja di kilang Yamauchi dan tinggal di pangsapuri yang disediakan oleh pihak majikan.

"Saya tinggal di rumah ini bersama 15 rakan yang lain. Kesemuanya warga Indonesia. Jadi, kami saling tolong menolong menyediakan juadah hari raya," katanya yang gembira apabila rumahnya menjadi juara dalam pertandingan menghias rumah yang diadakan sempena sambutan majlis tersebut.

Menurutnya, setiap ahli rumah membayar sebanyak RM20 untuk membeli barangan bagi memasak juadah hari raya termasuk sajian istimewa dari Indonesia seperti daging masak malbi, hati goreng dan ayam penyet. Minuman istimewa yang disediakan pula adalah sirap marjan.

"Kami juga merebus ketupat dan menyediakan gulai ayam untuk hidangan lontong," ujarnya yang cantik berbaju kurung berwarna biru muda.

Rakan serumahnya, Budi Susanti Gimo, 30, dari Puryorejo, Jawa Tengah pula berkata, beliau bekerja di kilang Yamauchi pada tahun 2001 hingga 2004 sebelum pulang ke kampung untuk berkahwin.

Menurutnya, pada tahun 2007, beliau datang semula ke Senai untuk bekerja di kilang yang sama manakala suaminya bekerja di sebuah kilang perabot di Batu Pahat, Johor.

"Dua minggu sekali, saya akan ke Batu Pahat berjumpa suami. Itu lebih mudah kerana di sana, ada rumah. Di sini (Senai), saya tinggal bersama rakan-rakan yang ramai. Tidak sesuai untuk bersama suami," ujarnya tersenyum simpul.

Mengenai persiapan majlis yang diadakan itu, Budi berkata, sehari sebelumnya iaitu hari Sabtu, mereka sudah mula memasak dan merebus ketupat.

"Rendang juga dimasak pada hari Sabtu tetapi tidak matang (setengah masak). Hanya pada tengah malam, barulah kami letak santan," katanya.

Sementara itu, Penyelia Asrama TKI (Tenaga Kerja Indonesia), Etik Aqustina, 29, memberitahu, seramai 340 TKI tinggal di dua blok pangsapuri di situ.

"Kilang ini mengeluarkan komponen elektronik dan saya telah sembilan tahun bekerja di Malaysia. Baru tiga tahun, saya bekerja di sini (Senai). Sebelumnya, saya bekerja di sebuah restoran di Genting Highlands, Pahang," katanya.

Menjelaskan tujuan majlis itu diadakan, Etik berkata, majikan mahu memberi penghargaan kepada para pekerjanya yang tidak pulang berhari raya di kampung.

"Semua kos untuk majlis ini disediakan oleh pihak majikan. Tetapi jamuan di rumah pekerja disediakan sendiri oleh penghuni rumah, misalnya jamuan raya di rumah Satina dan rakan-rakannya, disediakan sendiri oleh mereka.

"Tujuan lain adalah untuk merapatkan silaturahim antara penghuni asrama dan wakil-wakil majikan yang hadir," tambahnya.

Mengenai pertandingan menghias rumah pula katanya, ia diadakan untuk memberi dorongan kepada penghuni rumah agar menjaga keindahan dan kebersihan sekitar.

Katanya, pemenang pertama bagi pertandingan itu menerima plak, hamper dan wang tunai berjumlah RM250; tempat kedua, plak dan wang tunai RM200 dan tempat ketiga, plak dan wang tunai RM150.

Sementara itu, seorang tetamu rakyat Malaysia, Abd. Wafiy Abd. Malek, 19, dari Ayer Keroh, Melaka berkata, beliau mengikut bapa saudaranya, Sham Ahmad, 35, ke majlis tersebut.

"Pak Anjang (bapa saudara) ialah kawan lama Satina. Kami datang ke sini untuk merapatkan silaturahim dengan rakan-rakan dari Indonesia.

"Lagipun, saya nak tengok cara orang Indonesia menyambut raya di sini," katanya yang masih belajar di Kolej Poly-Tech Mara di Bangi, Selangor.

Turut memeriahkan majlis ialah Nyugen Duy Hao, 22, dari Hanoi, Vietnam.

Katanya, beliau teruja untuk menyambut hari raya bersama rakan-rakan sekerja dari Indonesia.

"Saya suka gulai ayam dan ketupat. Kalau nak merasa makanan tradisi negara lain, inilah harinya,'' katanya.

Pada satu perkembangan lain, Konsul Besar Indonesia di Johor Bahru, Suryana Sastradiredja berkata, hubungan baik antara Malaysia dan Indonesia sudah lama dijalin. Katanya, kedua-dua negara mempunyai banyak persamaan dari segi bahasa, budaya dan agama.

Sehubungan itu katanya, sebarang isu yang timbul seharusnya diselesaikan secara aman tanpa merugikan kedua-dua pihak.

"Pihak media harus memainkan peranan menjernihkan keadaan. Apa juga isu panas yang timbul boleh dirunding dan diselesaikan secara aman tanpa perlu disensasikan," katanya.

Suryana juga meminta media di kedua-dua negara tidak memperbesarkan isu yang boleh mengeruhkan hubungan.

"Jika ada masalah, jangan perbesarkan kerana ia boleh mengeruhkan keadaan," ujarnya bersungguh-sungguh.

Mengulas lanjut katanya, media dari kedua-dua negara juga perlu lebih bertanggungjawab terhadap apa yang dilaporkan dari semasa ke semasa.

"Seharusnya, jangan tulis cerita yang boleh membangkitkan kemarahan atau mengguris hati kedua-dua pihak. Kita ini kan...serumpun dan seagama, jadi sebarang masalah yang timbul, lebih baik diselesaikan di meja rundingan," katanya penuh berharap.

Dua Kapal Perang Malaysia 'Kembali' Masuk Perairan Ambalat

http://www.navy.mil.my/images/stories/aset/skn_1_fac_m/kd_ganas_3053.jpg
TARAKAN - Kapal perang Malaysia memasuki perairan laut di Karang Unarang, Kalimantan Timur, Selasa (13/10). Kedua kapal perang Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia, yaitu KD Yu 3508 dan KD Ganas 3503 memasuki perairan Ambalat sejauh 4 mil laut.

Melihat ulah dua kapal patroli cepat berpeluru kendali jenis Thornycroft ini, KRI Layang 805 yang sedang berpatroli di perairan Ambalat langsung mengusir kedua kapal yang berkecepatan antara 14 hingga 16 knot. KRI Layang 805 memaksa kedua kapal tersebut keluar dari perairan.

Danlanal Tarakan Kolonel Laut Bambang Irwanto mengatakan, ia mendapatkan laporan bahwa dua kapal perang Malaysia tersebut masuk ke perairan Karang Unarang. "Namun dua kapal itu telah dihalau KRI Layang keluar dari perairan," katanya, saat dihubungi Media Indonesia.

KRI Layang-805

Bambang mengungkapkan, dalam pengusiran kedua kapal negara tetangga tersebut, TNI AL telah melaksanakan sesuai dengan protap. "Saya kira telah sesuai dengan protap yang ada di lapangan. Setiap ada kapal masuk di perbatasan, pastinya dideteksi oleh gabungan KRI yang ada dalam tugas laut," ucapnya.

Bambang juga mengatakan, hingga saat ini kapal perang TNI AL masih terus berpatroli secara rutin di perairan Karang Unarang. "Beberapa kapal ada di daerah perbatasan. Satuan kapal ini berpatroli sesuai tugas utamanya," ujarnya.
KD Ganas 3503 bukan buatan Vosperthornycroft (UK) tapi buatan Perancis (Kelas La Combattante II 4AL/Perdana)
KD Yu 3508 (Kelas TNC 45/ Jerong), buatan Lürssen Werft Bremen, Jerman.

Inderapura on fire again
By CHAN LI LEEN

TELUK INTAN: The Royal Malaysian Navy’s biggest landing craft, KD Sri Inderapura, caught fire again some 16 hours after a blaze on board the vessel was put out on Thursday.

The vessel, which had been berthed at the Lumut Naval Base, was towed to the middle of the sea for safety reasons shortly after it caught fire a second time in two days at 8am yesterday.

As at 5pm, the vessel was still burning.

It had been scheduled to transport logistics goods to the Markas Wilayah Laut Dua in Kota Kinabalu on Monday when it caught fire.
Still burning: Thick smoke billowing from the KD Inderapura which was towed to the middle of the sea Friday.

It was one of the vessels that escorted Malaysian commercial shipping against pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden in Somalia last year.

Speaking to reporters earlier in Bagan Datoh near here, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the second fire could have been due to embers from the first one.

“Right now, I’m still waiting for an update on the situation,” he said after launching five new Territorial Army platoons here.

Ahmad Zahid said the Government could not decide on the fate of the vessel until a full report on the incident was received from the investigative board in a month’s time.

The KD Sri Inderapura was built in 1970 and had been used by the United States Navy after it was commissioned as the USS Spartanburg County. On Dec 16, 1994, the ship was handed over to the Malaysian navy.

Ahmad Zahid said the damage suffered by the vessel on Thursday was far worse than the 2002 fire. Then, repair works had cost RM68mil.

“If it can be repaired at a reasonable cost, we will do so. Otherwise, it would be wiser to buy a new vessel,” he said.

Meanwhile in Putrajaya, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the Government would wait for the Defence Ministry to submit a proposal to buy a new naval vessel to replace KD Sri Inderapura.

“Let Mindef make the request to the Cabinet. We will decide on this later,” he told reporters yesterday.

Australia donates A$12 million for reconstruction in West Sumatra
Syofiardi Bachyul Jb , The Jakarta Post , Padang, West Sumatra | Wed, 10/21/2009 7:40 PM | National

Australia will extend the second part of an aid package worth between A$10 million (US$9.2 million) and $12 million to help the West Sumatra administration deal with the impact of a magnitude 7.6 earthquake on Sept. 30.

Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith told a media conference in the provincial capital of Padang on Wednesday the financial aid would be allocated for reconstruction of schools and health facilities devastated by the quake.

Canberra had disbursed $4 million in relief funds for West Sumatra, part of it was spent on two water desalination processing plants in Padang after the quake paralyzed clean water services in the city.

Smith visited one of the plants on Jl. Samudera on Wednesday and drank the desalinated water.

Deputy Governor Barat Marlis Rahman expressed gratitude to Australia’s commitment to alleviating the suffering of the West Sumatrans.

“Just two days after the earthquake, when we were still scrambling to unearth victims from the rubble, an Australian Search and Rescue team had arrived in Padang,” Marlis recounted.

He asked if the city might keep the water desalination plant as the city water company had been unable to resume service in many parts of the city.

Australia Helps Restore Education in Aceh

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Australian government has launched a program of building school buildings and their facilities in Nangroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) province at a total cost of 7 million Australian dollars.

The program, the Australian embassy in Jakarta said on Wednesday, will be applied for three years, during which the Australian government will help the Aceh administration provide access to elementary education for Acehnese children, and raise the quality of education in Aceh province.

Under an Australia-Indonesia partnership scheme, development assistance for Aceh will be further increased under a number of plans for the Local Governance Innovations for Communities in Aceh (LOGICA) for a period of five years at a total cost of 30 million Australian dollars.

The program is a continuation of the initial stage of the LOGICA program which had helped hundreds of villages and scores of local administrations rebuild the areas devastated by the December 26, 2004 tsunami.

And in the five years that follow, hundreds of community members will be trained in skills for cooperation with the government in the improvement of health, education and infrastructure.

"Education, training and good government management are key factors in restorations and long-term construction in Aceh. Under a partnership between the government and Aceh residents, the Australian assistance under this program will contribute to the attainment of a better future," Australian Ambassador to Indonesia Bill Farmer said.

In the meantime, Aceh Governor Irwandi Yusuf hailed the planned cooperation in the prioritized development of his administration with a view to increasing skills in education, financial management, and human resources.

He said that assistance was still needed in the post 2004 tsunami period and following years of conflicts in the province.

The Australian government has been working together with the Acehnese people since 2004. The new program helped Australia realize a statement made by the Australian prime minister last year on a 50 million Australian dollar (Rp 450 billion) commitment to continue the restoration of Aceh until 2013.

Oil rig in Timor Sea catches on fire, Australia promises investigation

The Associated Press , Sydney | Mon, 11/02/2009 6:36 PM | World

A massive fire erupted on an oil rig that has been leaking into the Timor Sea, and Australia's government on Monday promised an investigation, the latest complication in a 10-week effort to plug the hole.

Rig operator PTTEP Australasia said no one was injured and nonessential workers were evacuated after the fire broke out on the West Atlas rig and Montara wellhead platform on Sunday.

The blaze started when workers began pumping heavy mud into a leaking well casing. An estimated 400 barrels of oil a day have escaped from the hole since Aug. 21.

Officials had planned to pour more mud into the leak on Monday in the hopes of removing the source of fuel from the fire, which was sending massive plumes of smoke into the sky. But in a statement Monday evening, the company said it was still in the process of mixing 4,000 barrels of heavy mud, and would not be ready to pour it down the well until Tuesday.

On Sunday, PTTEP Australasia chief financial officer Jose Martins said the company doesn't know how the blaze started.

"Presently there are many unanswered questions, including what caused the fire," Martins told reporters in Perth. "Our sole focus now is the safety of all personnel, bringing the fire under control and completing the well kill."

Federal Resources Minister Martin Ferguson said Monday that once the spill is contained he would launch an official inquiry.

"Our requirement is to assess the cause of the accident and any lessons to be learnt, and that could lead to a change in the regulatory environment," he told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.

Ferguson later told reporters in Melbourne that if PTTEP was "found to have been at fault with respect to any of their responsibilities, then any potential action will be appropriately considered at the time."

The oil slick from the rig, about 150 miles (250 kilometers) off Australia's northwest coast, now stretches across thousands of miles (kilometers) of remote ocean. Indonesia said last week that thousands of dead fish and clumps of oil have been found drifting near its coastline.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said Monday he was "deeply disturbed" at the latest turn of events on the rig, signaling the government's rising frustration that fixing the spill is taking so long.

"Do I think this is acceptable? No, I don't," Rudd told Fairfax Radio Network. "Are we angry with this company? Yes we are. Are we trying to do everything we can to get this under control? You betcha."

Thailand Tak Akan Tutup Kedubesnya

Bangkok (ANTARA News/Xinhua-OANA) - Pemerintah Thailand tidak berniat menutup kedutaan besarnya di Phnom Penh kendati hubungan diplomatik kedua negara memburuk setelah Kamboja mengusir seorang pejabat perpangkat sekretaris satu di Kedubes Thailand di negeri itu.

Menteri Luar Negeri Kamboja telah memerintahkan Kamrob Palawatwichai untuk meninggalkan negara itu dalam 48 jam, dari pukul 17.00 waktu Kamboja.

Setelah mempelajari perintah Kamboja, Bangkok menanggapi dengan mengusir pula sekretaris satu di Kedubes Kamboja di Bangkok dan memerintahkan dia meninggalkan Thailand dalam waktu 48 jam, mulai pukul 17.00 waktu setempat.

Tindakan balasan Bangkok itu tidak terlalu keras, ketika pada titik ini pemerintah tidak mengambil kebijakan menutup kedubes Thailand di Kamboja, lapor kantor berita Thailand, mengutip Perdana Menteri Thailand Abhisit Vejjajiva.

Hubungan diplomatik Thailand dan Kamboja memburuk setelah pada 4 Novemberi lalu Kamboja mengangkat buronan mantan Perdana Meteri Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra sebagai penasehat ekonomi pemerintah Kamboja.

Sehari setelah pengangkatan Thakasin, pemerintah Kamboja mengumumkan memanggil pulang duta besarnya untuk Thailand sebagai tanggapan atas kebijakan pemerintah Thailand memanggil pulang duta besarnya untuk Kamboja.

Thaksin, yang telah berada di Kamboja sejak Selasa, memberikan ceramah pada Kamis kepada 300 pakar ekonomi Kamboja di Kementerian Ekonomi dan Keuangan Kamboja yang menitikberatkan pada "Strategi menghadapi krisis keuangan dan ekonomi."

"Pengusiran sekretaris pertama kedubes Thailand itu tidak akan berlanjut pada penutupan kedubes Thailand di Kamboja," kata Deputi Perdana Menteri urusan Keamanan, Suthep Thaugsuban.

Thailand akan tetap menugaskan atase militer untuk kedubes Thailand di Kamboja untuk membantu Bangkok guna melakukan koordinasi dengan pihak Kamboja, kata Suthep.

Sementara itu, Suthep mengakui bahwa pihaknya belum dapat memprediksi mengenai apakah situasi hubungan kedua negara akan segera membaik bila Thaksin meninggalkan Kamboja.

Thaksin dilaporkan telah meninggalkan Kamboja menuju Dubai, Uni Arab Emirat, Jumat.

Thaksin ditumbangkan oleh kudeta militer pada September 2006, dan sejak itu hidup dalam pengasingan di luar negeri.

Ia sempat kembali ke Thailand pada Februari 2008 untuk menghadapi dakwaan korupsi, namun belakangan mengasingkan diri lagi ke luar negeri dan dijatuhi hukuman penjara in absentia. (*)

Najib: Gowa visit like a homecoming

Royal welcome: Najib (centre) and his wife Rosmah, dressed in traditional Gowa costumes, arriving for the 689th anniversary ceremony of the Gowa kingdom yesterday. — Reuters

MAKASSAR (South Sulawesi): For Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak, his second visit to this capital city of South Sulawesi since becoming Prime Minister is by far the most nostalgic one.

“I feel like I am returning to my roots,” said Najib at the end of his one-day official visit yesterday. He is making his fourth visit to the capital.

Najib was here as the guest-of-honour at the 689th anniversary of the Gowa state government. He was invited by Gowa head of state Ichsan Yasin Limpo.

Najib, who is the descendant of Gowa’s 19th King, Sultan Abdul Jalil Tumenanga ri Lakiung, and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor were earlier accorded a welcome normally reserved for royalty.

The elaborate Bugis “official welcoming ceremony” or amantuli was held at South Sulawesi Governor Syahrul Yasin Limpo’s official residence.

Najib and Rosmah also wore special Gowa attire, a cream coat and black and gold silk sarong with a gold songkok for him and a dark red Bugis “bodo” tunic with a sarong similar to Najib’s for her.

They then proceeded to the Shekh Yusuf Discovery Park where the anniversary celebration took place.

Speaking to Malaysian journa lists at the airport before returning to Kuala Lumpur, Najib said he truly felt at home in Makassar.

Asked to comment on the possibility that some people might view the fact that he had roots here in a negative light, Najib said: “I am not apologetic about it. This is my family history and I am proud of it.”

Najib, who is the 11th Orang Kaya Shah bandar of Pahang, said he was the direct descendant of Bugis royalty who migrated to Pahang in the 18th century and was made the first Orang Kaya Shah bandar carrying the title Toh Tuan.

Najib had inherited the title from his father, the second prime minister Tun Abdul Razak who was the 10th Orang Kaya Shah bandar.

In 2005, Najib was awarded the title Mappadulung Daeng Matti mung Karaeng Sanrobone by the Bugis government.

Najib said Malaysia’s interest to jointly develop Makassar and its surrounding areas into ricebowl areas would benefit both sides as food security had become very important for the region. Malaysia was also interested in developing livestock and animal husbandry industries in the region, he added.

Najib said he had already raised the issue with Indonesian Presi dent Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono during his recent visit to Malay sia.

Najib also witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between four Malaysian research and development companies with the Hassanudin Universiti.

NZ passes relaxed climate change law
Associated Press , Wellington | Wed, 11/25/2009 3:19 PM | World

New Zealand's Parliament passed a revised climate change law Wednesday that was condemned by a key official as likely to increase emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases and offer little help to the environment.

The new law passed with the support of the governing center-right National Party and two minor parties.

It was strongly opposed by the opposition Labour and Green parties for reducing the benefits of a climate change law passed last year before a change of government.

Climate change minister Nick Smith said the new law would strike "the right balance in protecting the future of our economy and our environment and ensuring New Zealanders have jobs."

He said it would also ensure New Zealand does its fair share to combat climate change "without the pretense that we should lead the world" - a reference to the previous Labour government's call for the country to become the globe's first "sustainable nation."

Under the law, polluters will be charged a fixed price per unit of carbon they emit, but will receive tradable carbon credits from the government to help offset those charges. The system - to be phased in over six years - provides easier rules for businesses involved in international trade and credits for planting forests.

As lawmakers began their final debate on the law, Parliament's independent environment ombudswoman, Jan Wright, urged them to vote against it, warning that the carbon credits, effectively paid for by taxpayers, cut the scheme's effectiveness by removing most of the financial incentive to polluters to reduce their carbon emissions.

A time limit on the government's handout of carbon credits is essential, she said in a statement.

"The amendments pass much of the cost from polluters to taxpayers," Wright said.

The law covers agriculture, unlike climate change laws in most other countries. New Zealand's farm sector is responsible for nearly 50 percent of the nation's output of greenhouse gases.

Business-friendly Prime Minister John Key has said New Zealand remains committed to helping combat climate change. But he has ruled out attending an international conference in Copenhagen next month aimed at negotiating a new climate change pact to replace the Kyoto Protocol, saying it is unlikely to reach any formal agreement.

Remaja Australia Ternyata Lebih Nakal dari AS

Jumat, 27 November 2009 | 17:09 WIB

CANBERRA, KOMPAS. com - Tingkat kenakalan remaja di Australia ternyata lebih tinggi dibanding remaja di Amerika Serikat. Ini hasil penelitian terbaru yang dilakukan Murdoch Children’s Research Institute di Australia dan Universitas Washington.

Kesimpulan atas fenomena kenakalan remaja di kedua negara tersebut diperoleh dengan mewawancarai 4.000 pelajar berusia antara 12 dan 16 tahun di Victoria, Australia, dan di Washington State, AS.

Para peneliti mewawancarai para remaja tersebut, apakah dalam setahun terakhir mereka pernah menyerang seseorang secara oral yang sangat menyakitkan hati, atau memukul badan seseorang sehingga mengalami luka serius yang memerlukan pengobatan medis.

Dalam penelitian tersebut diketahui, 12,6 persen remaja Victoria memiliki tingkah laku kasar, sedangkan 10 persen remaja Washington berkelakuan sama. Faktor utama timbulnya kelakuan buruk bagi remaja tersebut, antara lain problem di rumah dan juga pengaruh minuman keras dan obat terlarang.

Sheryl Hemphill yang mengetuai penelitian itu mengemukakan, angka kekerasan di antara remaja Australia tak bisa diprediksi dan perlu penyelidikan lebih lanjut. "Hal itu membuat kami lebih hati-hati berpikir mengenai bagaimana menangani masalah kelakuan buruk anak didik di sekolah," katanya.

Dari penelitian itu juga diketahui, para pelajar yang diskors dari sekolah atau ditangkap aparat keamanan akibat kelakuan buruk mereka, jumlah pelajar Australia itu lebih dari satu setengah kali lebih tinggi dibanding remaja di AS dalam 12 bulan terakhir.

Sheryl mengimbau sekolah-sekolah agar mencari alternatif untuk menskors atau pekerjaan yang mendukung agar mereka hingga masuk kembali bersekolah."Ini penting bagi sekolah-sekolah untuk mencoba memahami apa di balik kelakuan buruk pelajar itu," katanya.

Ia menambahkan, program anti-kelakuan buruk yang diterapkan di AS saat ini perlu diadaptasi oleh sekolah-sekolah Australia demi mengurangi tingkat kenakalan remaja di negeri Kanguru tersebut.

Komisi I Nilai Pelarangan Film "Balibo" Sudah Tepat

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — Ketua Komisi I DPR RI Kemal Aziz Stamboel menilai pelarangan film Balibo oleh Lembaga Sensor Film (LSF) tepat. Ia yakin LSF telah memiliki alasan-alasan yang bisa dipertanggungjawabkan dalam melarang pemutaran film Balibo.

"Saya yakin LSF sudah memiliki standar tersendiri tentang tayangan yang dapat mengganggu masyarakat. Ada traumatik sosial yang berpotensi timbul di masyarakat jika film tersebut diputar," ujarnya di Jakarta, Rabu (2/12).

Ia mengatakan, film Balibo bercerita tentang lima wartawan yang meninggal karena kesalahan pihak yang bertikai waktu itu. Peristiwanya sudah lama, sekitar 35 tahun lalu di Timor-Timur. Menurutnya, pemerintah sudah melakukan penyelidikan dan hasilnya sudah jelas.

"Film tersebut sudah tidak pada tempatnya. Masalahnya sudah diteliti habis. Film ini bukan merupakan upaya untuk membangun kerja sama yang baik," ujarnya.

Menurut Kemal, pemutaran ilm hanya akan membuka luka lama hubungan Indonesia-Australia. Pelarangan ini, katanya, mencoba menutup luka lama yang tidak perlu jika film tersebut diputar di masyarakat. Ia yakin pelarangan film ini juga demi menjaga hubungan baik antara Indonesia-Australia.

Hal senada dikatakan Tantowi Yahya yang juga duduk di Komisi I. Ia mendukung pelarangan film Balibo oleh Lembaga Sensor Film.

"Kami dari Komisi I selalu mendorong setiap tindakan LSF dalam konteks pelarangan film yang dapat menyinggung kedaulatan negara. Ini sensitif," ujarnya. "Kami juga mendukung pelarangan film oleh LSF yang menyinggung isu-isu SARA dalam konteks berbangsa dan bernegara."

Deplu Akan Jelaskan Pelarangan Film Balibo Ke Internasional

Jakarta - Lembaga Sensor Film (LSF) telah menngeluarkan larangan pemutaran film Balibo. Departemen Luar Negeri (Deplu) pun akan berusaha menjelaskan pelarangan tersebut kepada dunia internasional.

"Yang perlu kita lakukan adalah berusaha menjelaskan ke pihak internasional apa latar belakang film ini tidak diputar kita perlu memastikan jangan sampai keputusan ini menimbulkan permasalahan baru," ujar Menteri Luar Negeri Marty Natalegawa.

Hal ini Marty sampaikan di sela-sela rapat kerja antara Deplu dengan Komisi I DPR RI, Senayan, Jakarta, Rabu (2/12/2009).

Menurut Marty, saat ini yang paling ditakutkan dari pelarangan film yang mengisahkan tentang tewasnya lima jurnalis asal negeri kanguru ini bisa membuat hubungan antara Indonesia dengan Australia menjadi buruk.

"Kita perlu memastikan jangan sampai keputusan pelarangan film ini menimbulkan permasalahan baru hubungan antara dua negara, Indonesia-Australia," tambahnya.

Terkait pelarangan film Balibo sendiri, menurut Marty, ini sepenuhnya di luar kewenangan Deplu. "Saya yakin lembaga yang mengeluarkan pelarangan itu pastinya dengan berbagai pertimbangan. Jadi Deplu tidak akan masuk ke subtansi pelarangan itu," pungkasnya.

Sebelumnya, Selasa (1/12/2009) kemarin malam di Blitz Megaplex Grand Indonesia digelar acara nonton bareng Film Balibo. Namun sekitar seratus tamu undangan harus kecewa karena tidak dapat menikmati film yang sedianya diputar secara terbatas itu. Balibo dinyatakan tidak lulus sensor oleh Lembaga Sensor Film (LSF).

Australia Tidak Jujur Soal Pencemaran Laut Timor
Selasa, 1 Desember 2009 14:29 WIB | Warta Bumi | Masalah Lingkungan | Dibaca 467 kali

Kupang (ANTARA News) - Pemerhati masalah Laut Timor Ferdi Tanoni menilai pemerintah Federal Australia tidak jujur dalam menyikapi persoalan pencemaran minyak mentah di Laut Timor akibat meledaknya sumur minyak Montara di Blok Atlas Barat pada 21 Agustus 2009.

"Sangat aneh jika Australia masih tetap menyangkal bahwa wilayah perairan Indonesia tidak tercemar akibat muntahan minyak mentah dari sumur minyak Montara. Saya menilai Australia sangat tidak jujur soal pencemaran di Laut Timor," kata Tanoni kepada pers di Kupang, Selasa.

Ketua Yayasan Peduli Timor Barat (YPTB) itu mengemukakan pandangannya tersebut setelah mengirim surat terbuka kepada Perdana Menteri Australia Kevin Rudd di Canberra, Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono di Jakarta, Perdana Menteri Timor Leste Xanana Gusmao di Dili, dan Sekjen PBB Ban Kie Moon di New York.

Surat terbuka tersebut dibalut dalam judul "Gugatan Atas Kompensasi Pencemaran Laut Timor dan Peninjauan Kembali Batas Landas Kontinen dan Zona Ekonomi Eksklusif (ZEE) antara Indonesia-Australia di Laut Timor".

Mantan agen imigrasi Kedutaan Besar Australia itu menegaskan, pemerintahan PM Kevin Rudd harus mengakui secara jujur dan terbuka kepada dunia internasional, khususnya masyarakat Indonesia yang ada di tepian Laut Timor bagian barat Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) bahwa wilayah perairan tersebut sudah tercemar.

"Bila Australia tidak mau mengakui pencemaran wilayah perairan ZEE Indonesia maka negeri yang maju dan kaya raya itu telah melakukan pembodohan dan memaksakan kehendaknya terhadap sebuah komunitas masyarakat di Pulau Timor dan kepulauan sekitarnya yang masih hidup terkebelakang dalam bidang ekonomi dengan tingkat pendidikan yang masih rendah," katanya.

Bukan hanya itu saja, menurut Tanoni, sangkalan itu akan sangat mempermalukan bangsa Australia yang selama ini dikenal ramah, bersahabat, jujur, murah hati, dan suka menolong sesamanya dalam keadaan susah.

Penulis buku "Skandal Laut Timor Sebuah Barter Ekonomi Politik Canberra-Jakarta" itu menegaskan, pihaknya mendukung sepenuhnya pembentukan Komisi Penyelidikan Pencemaran Laut Timor oleh pemerintah Federal Australia dan Panitia Nasional Penanggulangan Keadaan Darurat Tumpahan Minyak di Laut Timor oleh pemerintah Indonesia untuk menghitung ganti rugi atau kompensasi.

Ia mengharapkan pemerintahan PM Kevin Rudd dan pemerintahan Presiden SBY memerintahkan Komisi Penyelidikan Pencemaran Laut Timor dan Panitia Nasional Penanggulangan Keadaan Darurat Tumpahan Minyak di Laut Timor untuk mengunjungi Kota Kupang, Kabupaten Kupang, Rote Ndao, Sabu, Timor Tengah Selatan, Timor Timur, dan negara bagian di Australia.

Kunjungan ke kota-kota di NTT itu untuk mengidentifikasi dampak dan kerugian yang diderita oleh masyarakat akibat pencemaran minyak mentah di Laut Timor dengan melibatkan pemerintah daerah, pemerintah negara bagian di Australia, ahli lingkungan dan ahli geologi kelautan independen serta tokoh masyarakat yang kredibel dari kedua negara.

Ia menjelaskan, identifikasi tersebut untuk mengetahui secara pasti besarnya kerugian yang ditimbulkan terhadap para nelayan tradisional yang selama beratus-ratus tahun mencari nafkah di Laut Timor, para petani rumput laut dan petani garam serta masyarakat pesisir yang menderita sakit akibat memakan ikan yang berasal dari Laut Timor.

Selain itu, mengidentifikasi dan menghitung berbagai kerusakan ekologis yang terjadi di Laut Timor untuk ditanggulangi dengan memberikan kompensasi kepada daerah-daerah di NTT, negara bagian di Australia dan Timor Leste yang terkena dampak dari pencemaran tersebut.

Tanoni mengatakan, dirinya melayangkan surat terbuka tersebut, karena hak dan kepentingan masyarakat di Timor bagian barat NTT serta Timor Leste dan beberapa negara bagian di Australia terabaikan oleh pemerintah dalam kasus pencemaran minyak di Laut Timor.

Ledakan dahsyat sumur minyak Montara di Blok Atlas Barat itu baru berhasil dihentikan sementara pada awal November 2009 setelah memuntahkan sekitar 500.000 liter minyak mentah ke Laut Timor setiap hari.

Ia mengatakan, muntahan minyak itu mengakibatkan penurunan pendapatan para nelayan di Timor bagian barat NTT dan pulau-pulau sekitarnya secara signifikan dan mengancam kelestarian Laut Timor yang membutuhkan waktu puluhan tahun untuk pemulihannya.

Pelarangan Film Balibo Kewenangan Lembaga Sensor
Kamis, 3 Desember 2009 17:41 WIB | Hiburan | Film/TV | Dibaca 129 kali

Kupang (ANTARA News) - Diijinkan atau tidak film "Balibo" yang disutradarai Robert Connolly dan dibintangi artis kelahiran Australia, Anthony Lapaglia, diputar di Indonesia adalah kewenangan Lembaga Sensor Film (LSF).

Mengenai film Balibo adalah kewenangan LSF sebagai lembaga resmi dan tidak ada intervensi dari pihak mana pun, termasuk pemerintah Indonesia, kata Direktur Jenderal Nilai Budaya, Seni, dan Film (NBSF) Departemen Budaya, Seni, Pariwisata, Cecep S.

Film Balibo mengisahkan peristiwa kematian sejumlah wartawan jaringan televisi Australia di kota Balibo, Timor Timur, 16 Oktober 1975.

Disela rapat koordinasi persiapan Festival Musik Sasando Piala Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono di Kupang, Kamis, Cecep menegaskan bahwa larangan pemutaran Balibo adalah untuk menjaga hubungan Indonesia, Australia, dan Timor Leste yang tengah harmonis.

"Ada bagian-bagian tertentu dari film tersebut yang tidak boleh diputar atau ditayangkan karena tidak baik dalam menjaga hubungan kedua belah pihak, misalnya mengingatkan lagi hal-hal yang telah diselesaikan pada masa lalu," katanya didampingi Kepala Dinas Pariwisata NTT Ansqerius Takalapeta dan Bupati Rote Ndao Lorensius Haning.

Dirjen Cecep mengatakan dalam waktu dekat akan segera diberikan klarifikasi kepada pihak yang berkepentingan mengapa film yang tenar dengan sebutan "Balibo Lima" karena melibatkan lima orang wartawan itu, tidak boleh diputar di Indonesia.

"Kita akan segera melakukan klarifikasi kalau memang sangat dibutuhkan. Tetapi prinsipnya pemerintah tidak ingin mengintervensi profesionalisme dari Lembaga Sensor Film Nasional kita yang telah melaksanakan tugas sesuai dengan peraturan yang berlaku. Kita tidak ingin mengintervensi," katanya.

"Dan klarifikasinya pun tidak akan jauh berbeda dari apa yang telah disampaikan juru bicara Menteri Luar Negeri RI, beberapa waktu lalu," katanya.

Sebelumnya, juru bicara Deplu, Teuku Faizasyah, mengatakan kasus kematian lima wartawan asing di Timor Timur tahun 1975 itu sudah selesai dengan kesimpulan bahwa kematian mereka karena kecelakaan.

"Indonesia tidak melihat adanya suatu kepentingan untuk membuka kasus ini lagi. Sudah disimpulkan bahwa kematian kelima wartawan asing tersebut adalah karena kecelakaan bukan disengaja," katanya.

Kasus kematian lima wartawan Australia di Balibo kembali menguji ketahanan fondasi hubungan bilateral RI-Australia setelah Polisi Federal Australia (AFP) resmi menyelidiki tuduhan kejahatan perang dalam kasus yang populer disebut "Balibo Five" itu.

Berbagai media cetak dan elektronika Australia menjadikan investigasi AFP terhadap kasus "Balibo Five" serta pandangan publik Australia dan tanggapan pemerintah dan parlemen Indonesia atas keputusan AFP itu.

Dalam pernyataan persnya, AFP menyebutkan investigasi kasus "Balibo Five" sudah dimulai pada 20 Agustus 2009 dan pihak keluarga lima wartawan yang tewas tahun 1975 ini sudah diberitahu pada 8 September 2009.

Sementara itu, Minister Counselor Fungsi Pensosbud KBRI Canberra, Raudin, mengatakan sikap resmi KBRI Canberra atas masalah "Balibo Five" sejalan dengan apa yang telah disampaikan Juru Bicara Deplu RI di Jakarta, Teuku Faizasyah.

Greens call for investigation into Indonesian oil claims

The Greens have called on the Government to investigate fully reports that oil from the Montara spill is polluting fishing grounds in Indonesia.

Greens Senator Rachel Siewert said she had received a number of reports from "credible sources" of serious impacts on Indonesian communities from the massive oil spill in the Timor Sea.
"We are calling on Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to publicly commit that these reports will be investigated and that samples of oil and affected fish and seaweed will be tested to determine whether this oil has come from the Montara leak," Senator Siewert said.

"Australians expect that we will do the right thing by our near neighbours. The Prime Minister needs to promise that he will ensure the company takes responsibility for impacts outside of Australian waters."
She said the company at the centre of the spill, PTTEP Australasia, should also guarantee that it would deal with any claims for compensation from Indonesian fishermen, quickly and fairly.

"Poor Indonesian families whose livelihoods have been affected should not have to wait for a drawn out international legal process to secure compensations.
"We are still waiting to hear whether the recently announced inquiry into the Montara spill will address these issues and take evidence from or hold hearings in Indonesia."

A spokesman for the company said PTTEP was focused on inserting a permanent plug in the leak and reboarding the damaged West Atlas rig and Montara well-head platform and would not comment on other matters including compensation.
Fishermen and villagers in West Timor have been claiming for weeks that oil from the Montara spill has caused mass fish deaths, polluted seaweed farms and made local people sick.

The Australian Embassy in Jakarta said in a statement this week that it was discussing with Indonesia a possible visit by a team of Australian officials this month to further test of samples of oily water and dead fish collected in West Timor.
The Australian Government has consistently refuted claims the oil form the slick had come close to the Indonesian coastline.

The Montara wellhead sprung a leak on August 21 and spilled an estimated 4.5 million litres of oil into the Timor Sea before the leak was capped on November 2. A massive clean-up of the spill and the fire damaged rig is continuing.

Mahathir Usulkan Buku Sejarah Bersama Indonesia-Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur - Hubungan Indonesia-Malaysia tidak selalu berlangsung harmonis. Seringkali hubungan yang sudah dijalin lama ini diterpa berbagai isu. Mantan Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad menilai kekisruhan yang sering melanda hubungan Indonesia-Malaysia disebabkan generasi muda baru kedua negara yang mudah menyerap berbagai persoalan secara subjektif.

Diantara mereka banyak tidak memahami sejarah Indonesia-Malaysia secara utuh. Karena itu, menurut tokoh yang disebut sebagai Bapak Pembangunan Malaysia ini, perlu adanya kerjasama pemerintah Indonesia dan Malaysia untuk membuat buku sejarah bersama.

"Perlu diselaraskan buku sejarah Indonesia-Malaysia agar generasi baru kedua negara memahami sejarah perjuangan masing-masing," kata Mahathir dalam Seminar Indonesia-Malaysia di Convention Center Hall 1 KLCC, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (8/12/2009).

Mahathir mengatakan, kebanyakan generasi baru (new generation) terutama di Malaysia yang buta sejarah perjuangan negaranya. Menurutnya, mereka hanya memahami bahwa kemerdekaan sudah menjadi hak Malaysia tanpa mengetahui jalan sejarah perjuangannya.

"Meski di sejarah Malaysia tidak banyak peperangan seperti Indonesia, tapi Malaysia juga pernah mengalami peperangan sebelum merdeka.Ini yang tidak dipahami mereka. Sehingga ketika muncul isu menyangkut Indonesia-Malaysia, mereka pun mudah terbawa emosi," jelasnya.

Lebih jauh Mahathir menguraikan, sejarah yang harus dipahami oleh generasi baru kedua negara juga meliputi sejarah bahwa awalnya Indonesia dan Malaysia adalah satu bangsa yang tidak terpisahkan. Kedatangan Belanda yang menjajah Indonesia dan Inggris yang menjajah Malaysia menjadi awal yang memisahkan bangsa serumpun ini.

"Hubungan Indonesia-Malaysia bagaimanapun love in relationship. Apapun yang terjadi tetap harus bersama, karena keduanya pada dasarnya punya tujuan dan identitas yang sama. Indonesia dan Malaysia ini adalah satu keluarga," cetus
dia.

Karena itu, di era kepemimpinannya, lanjut Mahathir, Malaysia memberi kemudahan kepada setiap orang Indonesia yang datang sampai kemudahan untuk mendapat pengakuan kewarganegaraan. Kebijakan tersebut, kata dia, berangkat dari sejarah bahwa sudah sejak dahulu orang-orang di kepulauan Indonesia terbiasa berkunjung ke semenanjung dengan berbagai tujuan serta diterima dengan sangat baik oleh raja-raja Melayu.

"Mereka berbeda dengan India dan China yang menjadi pendatang. Tetapi orang-orang Indonesia ini bukan pendatang. Raja-raja melayu tidak pernah menganggap orang India dan China sebagai orang Melayu, tapi pendatang," tegasnya.

"Jadi secara tidak langsung, perpisahan ini antara Indonesia-Malaysia hanya artifisial, bukan natural. Tapi apaun kenyataannya diterima," pungkas Mahathir.

Ada Taman Indonesia di "Ujung" Australia
Jumat, 11 Desember 2009 09:47 WIB | Hiburan | Seni/Teater/Budaya

Brisbane (ANTARA News) - Taman Indonesia yang dilengkapi beberapa pohon khas Nusantara, sebuah rumah model Minahasa, Sulawesi Utara, serta patung "Garuda" dan "Saraswati" di kampus Universitas Charles Darwin (CDU) resmi dibuka untuk umum Kamis sore (10/12).

Sekretaris II Fungsi Pensosbud Konsulat RI Darwin, Arvinanto Soeriaatmadja, Jumat, mengatakan, acara peresmian dan penggunaan Taman Indonesia itu dilakukan Administratur negara bagian Northern Territory (NT) Tom Pauling bersama Duta Besar RI untuk Australia dan Vanuatu Primo Alui Joelianto.

Rektor CDU Prof. Barney Glover, Konsul RI di Darwin Harbangan Napitupulu dan Atase Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan RI di KBRI Canberra Dr.Aris Junaidi juga ikut menyaksikan pembukaan taman yang proses pembangunannya memakan waktu lebih dari tiga tahun lalu itu bersama sekitar 150 orang undangan.

"Di antara para undangan adalah kalangan akademisi dan konsul kehormatan negara-negara sahabat yang ada di Darwin," kata Arvinanto.

Ia mengatakan, patung "Garuda" disumbangkan maskapai penerbangan Garuda Indonesia, sedangkan patung perunggu "Saraswati" merupakan sumbangan Sultan Hamengku Buwono X.

"Patung dewi ilmu pengetahuan dan seni setinggi sekitar dua setengah meter ini tiba di Darwin 14 Agustus lalu dan sudah terpasang sejak akhir Agustus, katanya.

Taman yang dilengkapi satu rumah model Minahasa ini merupakan taman kedua di lingkungan CDU setelah Taman Republik Rakyat China.

Proses pembangunan Taman Indonesia ini sempat terkendala akibat keterbatasan dana. Di CDU yang merupakan pusat keunggulan NT ini, terdapat puluhan mahasiswa Indonesia. (*)

dikecam, dilarang, diharapkan tidak diputar, tidak boleh diputar di daerah tertentu... sama aja....just google it guys. Although memang akhirnya 2012 diputar dan masyarakat indonesia antri untuk melihat film tersebut. but that's not my point. The point is, I think there's something wrong with the determining criteria of what can be seen and what not

dont believe 100% what u read on the indonesian media, especially when u read those news on detik. The controversy surrounding the movie is just a marketing gimmick. Trust me :-)

thats what most artist does before making comeback, creating buzz then boom, a new album or movie. Same thing also occured with movies.

cheers

Opini Utusan Malaysia biasanya menggambarkan "Panadangan Resmi" pihak UMNO yang saat ini berkuasa di Malaysia ...

Dengan membaca opini mereka mengenai SBY .. gue jadi ngerti mengapa Malaysia berani melakukan provokasi atau melecehkan Indonesia selama ini, khususnya di Ambalat ... Hahahahaha

Susilo Takut Pada Bayang-Bayang?
Oleh Borhan Abu Samah

SELEPAS menang besar pada pilihan raya untuk meneruskan penggal kedua sebagai Presiden, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono kini memberi tumpuan untuk membangunkan negara Islam terbesar ini.

Dengan perancangan kerja 100 hari dan lima tahun, Susilo berusaha memastikan penggal terakhirnya itu mencatatkan sejarah sebagai antara pemimpin yang berjaya memajukan ekonomi Indonesia.

Bagaimanapun hakikatnya Susilo atau lebih dikenali sebagai “SBY” terus terbelenggu dengan isu-isu yang diciptanya sendiri khususnya pembanterasan rasuah dan penyalahgunaan kuasa.

Daripada skandal menggunakan wang kerajaan bagi menyelamatkan Bank Century hingga ke isu konspirasi melumpuhkan Suruhanjaya Pembanterasan Korupsi (KPK), semuanya tidak diselesaikan.

Malah ia berlarutan dan sekali gus menghakis keyakinan rakyat terhadap kewibawaan dan kesungguhan beliau dalam membanteras rasuah.

Dan beliau seolah-olah cuba lari daripada kenyataan dengan mendakwa ada pihak yang cuba menjatuhkannya.

Berbicara di depan para pemimpin Parti Demokrat di Jakarta Ahad lalu, beliau mengungkapkan perkara yang sama – ada gerakan yang mahu menjatuhkannya. Beliau membuat penilaian itu berdasarkan situasi politik akhir-akhir ini.

“Setiap malam saya berzikir dan berdoa bersama isteri dan ahli keluarga bagi mencari apakah tujuan semua fitnah dan pembunuhan watak seperti ini.

“Akal sihat saya mengatakan perilaku politik seperti ini paling tidak untuk jangka pendek ingin memburuk, menggoyang dan kalau boleh menjatuhkan SBY dan pemerintahan ini,” kata Susilo.

Pada Jumaat minggu lalu Susilo juga berucap tentang perkara yang sama dan beliau menyatakan memperoleh maklumat mengenai usaha tersebut.

Pada 17 Julai lalu selepas serangan bom berani mati berkembar ke atas Hotel JW Marriot dan Ritz Carlton di Mega Kuningan, Jakarta, Susilo mendakwa ada operasi ketenteraan untuk membunuhnya. Bahkan beliau menunjukkan gambar wajahnya yang dijadikan sasaran latihan menembak oleh sekumpulan militan bagi memastikan beliau tidak menjadi presiden untuk penggal kedua.

Ternyata selepas kenyataan itu, beliau tetap menang pilihan raya dan menjadi Presiden untuk penggal kedua.

Ketika demonstrasi di beberapa bandar utama di Indonesia pada 9 Disember, Susilo memilih untuk ‘lari’ ke Bali di mana tiada demonstrasi. Ketika itu beliau sepatutnya menghadiri acara di Makassar, tetapi membatalkannya setelah mendapati demonstrasi juga diadakan di kota utama Sulawesi Selatan itu.

Kalau dilihat sejarah beliau menduduki puncak kepimpinan, ramai mengatakan ia juga melalui jalan yang tidak jernih iaitu ‘menikam belakang’ Megawati Sukarnoputri.

Susilo yang ketika itu adalah menteri Kabinet Megawati, secara diam-diam mengatur gerakan menentang bosnya dengan menubuhkan Parti Demokrat. Setelah yakin kedudukannya kuat, barulah Susilo mengumumkan untuk menentang Megawati. Beliau berjaya mengalahkan wanita tersebut.

Megawati pastinya tidak melupakan bagaimana sakitnya dikhianati dan sejak itu tidak pernah berhenti menjadi pembangkang kepada kerajaan Susilo.

Maka kini Susilo berdepan dengan ketakutan kerana bimbang apa yang dilakukannya terhadap Megawati akan berulang kepadanya. Adakah beliau kini diburu bayang-bayang sendiri?

ESQ Prakarsai Piagam Persaudaraan Indonesia-Malaysia
Minggu, 13 Desember 2009

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - ESQ (Emotional Spiritual Quation) 165 Indonesia prakarsai peluncuran dan penandatanganan Piagam pendirian Persaudaraan Serumpun Indonesia-Malaysia (PSIM) di menara ESQ Leadership Center Jakarta, Sabtu.

Kegiatan yang diprakarsai oleh Forum Komunikasi Alumni ESQ juga dihadiri oleh sekitar 150 masyarakat dan tokoh-tokoh Malaysia antara lain Dato`Mukhriz Mahathir putra Menteri Muda Perdagangan Malaysia, Dr Mahathir Muhammad, dan tokoh2 nasional Indonesia seperti Ketua DPR RI Marzuki Ali, Menteri Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi (Menakertans) Muhaimin Iskandar dan Menteri Hukum dan HAM Patrialis Akbar.

Acara malam persaudaraan tersebut berlangsung dengan penuh sambutan yang meriah dari para penonton yang terdiri dari warga Indonesia, Malaysia juga Singapura yang semuanya mengenakan pakaian muslim.

Kegiatan ini merupakan langkah nyata dan tindak lanjut dari harapan kedua pemimpin negara Indonesia dan Malaysia untuk meningkatkan hubungan antara rakyat di kedua negara serumpun.

Piagam peresmian tersebut ditandatangani oleh Dr. Ary Ginanjar Agustian dari pihak Indonesia sebagai pemrakarsa gerakan persaudaraan ini dan Dato Husammudin Yacoob dari Malaysia.

Isi dari piagam tersebut antara lain adalah untuk membantu pemerintah Indonesia dan Malaysia untuk menjaga persaudaraan dalam tingkatan masyarakat demi menjaga perdamaian antara kedua bangsa.

Kemudian, PSIM akan mengangkat segala persamaan dan menghormati perbedaan antara Indonesia dan Malaysia, serta akan melakukan langkah nyata untuk lebih mendekatkan ikatan emosional dan spiritual rakyat kedua bangsa.

Menurut Piagam PSIM, jika terdapat permasalahan diantara kedua negara tersebut, maka akan diselesaikan dengan dasar kekeluargaan, kemudia juga akan membangun sinergi dan kerjasama dalam aksi kemanusiaan Indonesia-Malaysia.

Piagam pernyataan persaudaraan ini didirikan berlandaskan tujuh nilai dasar yang mencakup, jujur, tanggung jawab, visioner, disiplin, kerjasama, adil dan peduli.

Menurut Ary Ginanjar, dengan terciptanya persaudaraan serumpun Indonesia-Malaysia akan dapat membangun sebuah tatanan dunia baru dari belahan timur yang akan menggantikan tatanan barat yang menjadi hegemoni selama ini.

Ary mengatakan bahwa kehancuran tatanan barat dari segi finansial yang terjadi belakangan ini merupakan sebuah pintu masuk bagi tatanan timur yang baru serta mencakup nilai kerukunan ikatan emosional dan spiritual.

"Momentum ini dapat kita jadikan landasan persaudaraan serumpun dengan hubungan yang harmonis," ujar Ary pada pidato penutupan acara tesebut.

Dengan terciptanya hubungan persaudaraan dua negara, Ary berharap untuk dapat bersama-sama merubah paradigma umat Islam yang identik dengan terorisme, karena kedua negara tersebut terkenal memiliki warga yang mayoritas muslim.

Kekuatan emosional, spiritual dan intelektual akan menciptakan kekuatan yang sangat hebat untuk menjadi sebuah tatanan dunia yang baru berlandaskan dengan keimanan kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, tutup Ary.

MoU Pekerja Informal Indonesia-Malaysia Akan Jadi Contoh
Kamis, 17 Desember 2009

TEMPO Interaktif, Jakarta -Nota Kesepahaman Pekerja Informal antara Indonesia-Malaysia yang ditargetkan diteken 2010, akan menjadi contoh bagi negara lain.

"Malaysia akan jadi contoh untuk pembukaan sistem hubungan kerja antar negara," papar Menteri Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi Muhaimin Iskandar dalam konferensi pers di kantornya.

Muhaimin menyatakan poin-poin kesepakatan nota kesepahaman telah berada di parlemen Malaysia. Dia berjanji pada Januari tahun depan nota kesepahaman yang menyebabkan penghentian sementara pekerja informal dikirim ke Malaysia sejak Juni 2009 ini, segera diteken.

Diharapkan Muhaimin, nota kesepahaman dengan Malaysia ini dapat memberi perlindungan pekerja Indonesia sekaligus memperketat pengiriman pekerja Ilegal. "Kami akan menindak stakeholder yang menggunakan jalur ilegal," janjinya.

Dia mengakui arus pekerja ilegal ke Malaysia sangat besar karena ada 12 pintu masuk yang susah dideteksi. Departemen harus bekerja sama dengan pihak imigrasi dan kepolisian untuk menutup jalur-jalur ilegal.

Penutupan ini penting karena, tambahnya, masalah terbesar kasus pekerja migran di negara penempatan berasal dari pekerja ilegal yang berhasil masuk. "50 persen gaji pekerja ilegal sangat rendah," urai Muhaimin.

Masalah pelik terkait pekerja ilegal justru dipelihara beberapa tekong, terutama di kota-kota besar di Malaysia. Dia membeberkan perlu penyadaran bagi tenaga kerja Indonesia agar tidak akan berangkat kalau jalurnya ilegal. Penyadaran ini, ujar Muhaimin, tentunya dimudahkan dengan proses rekrutmen yang lebih efektif.

Departemen dalam satu dua hari mendatang segera membentuk satuan kerja untu mendeteksi layanan Tenaga Kerja Luar Negeri mulai dari rekrutmen hingga pemberangkatan.

"Tidak unsur dalam, semuanya dari luar departemen, semacam bantuan untuk mengecek lapangan," tambah Muhaimin.
