Refl: Dibikin otsus-otsus yang faedahnya hanya memiskinkan rakyat daerah, sekarang bikin lagi perubahan waktu. Mungkin sekali masalah sosial dan ekonomi tak becus diurus, lalu dialihkan perhatian umum ke “single time zone” sebagai hadiah 17 agustus sebagai hasil kemajuan gemilang yang dicapai rezim SBY dan komplotannya kepada rakyat yang dibodohkan. Mengapa tidak dicocokan waktu Mekkah atau Vatikan sekaligus? Bukankah lebih praktis sama waktunya dengan yang di Atas-Atas itu.
Sebagai catatan jarak dari Papua sampai ke Sabang adalah kurang lebih sama dengan jarak dari New York ke San Fransisco. Sepatutnya USA juga harus mempunyai “single time zone” seperti NKRI, karena menurut pakar NKRI mengurangi birokrasi dan mengaxelerasi kelancaran ekonomi. http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/one-time-zone-could-be-in-place-by-independence-day-official-declares/504346?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jgnewsletter One Time Zone Could Be in Place by Independence Day, Official Declares Kunradus Aliandu | March 13, 2012 The government has asked its institutions to start conducting simulations in preparation for the introduction of a single time zone for the entire country, with the target date for the move being Independence Day on Aug. 17. Edib Muslim, spokesman for the Indonesian Economic Development Committee (KP3EI), said that all of the ministries and institutions contacted responded in a positive way. “The decision to change the time zones will only need a presidential decision and does not need approval from the [House of Representatives],” Edib said. Edib announced that under the proposed plan, Indonesia would leave its triple-time zone division and become a single time zone at GMT+8. Indonesia’s current westernmost time zone is GMT+7, its central is GMT+8 and its easternmost is GMT+9. He said that the ministries and government institutions had each been asked to prepare “a simple model” for the conversion to the single time zone. Edib said the country had experienced time zone changes in the past and if applied, the single time zone would be the fifth such change for the country. “Since its independence, Indonesia has experienced this four times,” he said. Indonesia gained independence on Aug. 17, 1945. Records also show that during the Japanese occupation, between 1942 and 1945, Indonesia was turned into a single time zone matching Japan’s, at GMT+9. Under the Dutch colonial administration, Indonesia was divided into six time zones, with each being 30 minutes apart. Edib said that turning the country into a single time zone would lead to savings and better economic productivity. “This would have its benefits in an economy that is slipping because of [rising] fuel prices,” he said. Edib said the move to one time zone would eliminate problems arising from differences in business hours between the various zones in the country. The KP3EI implements the Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s Economic Development (MP3EI), which aims to transform the national economy. It is chaired by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Hatta Rajasa , the chief economics minister, is the executive chairman. Investor Daily [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
