[ppiindia] U.S. Wins Right to Abduct Innocent People with Impunity
The U.S. Wins the Right to Abduct Innocent People with Impunity By Glenn Greenwal July 15, 2010 Salon - June 14, 2010 -- The Supreme Court today denied a petition of review from Maher Arar, the Canadian and Syrian citizen who was abducted by the U.S. Government at a stopover at JFK Airport when returning to Canada in 2002, held incommunicado for two weeks, and then rendered to Syria, where he spent the next 10 months being tortured, even though -- as everyone acknowledges -- he was guilty of absolutely nothing. Arar sued the U.S. Government for what was done to him, and last November, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of his lawsuit on the ground that courts have no right to interfere in these decisions of the Executive Branch. That was the decision which the U.S. Supreme Court let stand today, ending Arar's attempt to be compensated for what was done to him.I've written in detail several times about Arar's case, including in November when the appellate court upheld dismissal of his lawsuit; see here for how extreme his treatment has been at the hands of the U.S. Government, which was most responsible for his harrowing nightmare and then spent years fighting to deny him any remedy for what was done. I won't reiterate those points here, as everything I have to say about the Supreme Court's actions today was said in that November post (read the last part of that post, where I excerpted the court's description of what was done to Arar). But I do want to highlight one aspect of this episode: Just compare how the American and Canadian Governments responded to what everyone agrees was this horrific injustice. The Canadians, who cooperated with the U.S. in Arar's abduction, conducted a sweeping investigation of what happened, and then publicly issued a scathing report that faulted Canada and the United States for his deportation four years ago to Syria, where he was imprisoned and tortured, and made clear he had done absolutely nothing wrong. Then, Canada's Prime Minister personally and publicly apologized to Arar, and announced that Canada would compensate him with a payment of $ 8.5 million. By stark contrast, the U.S. Government, which played a far more active role in his abduction and rendition to Syria, has never apologized to Arar (though individual members of Congress have). It has never clearly acknowledged wrongdoing (the only time it even hinted at this was when Condoleezza Rice called U.S. conduct in this case imperfect -- you think? -- and generously added: We do not think this case was handled as it should have been). In fact, it continuously did the opposite of providing accountability: in response to Arar's efforts to seek damages from the U.S. Government, the U.S. raised -- under two successive administrations -- a slew of technical arguments to persuade American courts not to hear his case at all, including the argument that what was done to Arar involved state secrets that prevented a judicial adjudication of his claims. The U.S. even continued to ban Arar from entering the U.S. long after it was acknowledged that he had done nothing wrong, thus preventing him for years from appearing before Congress or in the U.S. to talk about what was done to him. Indeed, after the Bush administration spent years arguing that courts were barred from hearing Arar's case on the ground of state secrets, the Obama administration embraced those same arguments and then urged the Supreme Court not to hear his appeal.
[ppiindia] ‘Discovery’ of Afghan Riches a Pro-war PR Scam?
‘Discovery’ of Afghan Riches a Pro-war PR Scam? By Daniel Tencer July 15, 2010 RawStory -- A New York Times report announcing the US has found $1 trillion-worth of mineral deposits in Afghanistan has some observers wondering if the news is part of a public-relations effort to bolster support for the Afghanistan war as the mission's death toll continues to climb.An article in Sunday's New York Times announces that previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium — are so big and include so many minerals that are essential to modern industry that Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the world, the United States officials believe. The article cites an internal Pentagon memo as saying Afghanistan could become the Saudi Arabia of lithium -- the mineral used in the production of rechargeable batteries, such as those found in cell phones and laptops. It cites a small team of Pentagon officials and American geologists as having made the discovery. While the dollar estimate -- $1 trillion -- may be new, it's hardly news that Afghanistan sits on rich mineral deposits. In a 2007 press release, the US Geological Survey announced that Afghanistan possesses significant amounts of undiscovered non-fuel mineral resources. And, as Marc Ambinder reports on his Atlantic blog, the Soviet Union was aware of Afghanistan's mineral potential as early as 1985. “The ‘discovery’ of Afghanistan’s minerals will sound pretty silly to old timers,” a retired former senior US official tells Politico's Laura Rosen. “When I was living in Kabul in the early 1970’s the [US government], the Russians, the World Bank, the UN and others were all highly focused on the wide range of Afghan mineral deposits. Cheap ways of moving the ore to ocean ports has always been the limiting factor.” So why is this news now? To many, the story's timing suggests a Pentagon public relations campaign designed to extend public support for the war with the hope that, in time, Afghanistan may be able to raise itself out of abject poverty. Why the story broke in the NYT on Sunday could be linked to a desire by the Pentagon to create a reason why US troops might want to stick around in Afghanistan for some time to come, writes Paul Jay at the Huffington Post. Things are not going very well on the ground and the promise of vast mineral riches would sound enticing. Some veteran Afghan hands detect an echo of [Gen. David] Petraeus’ effort to 'put a little more time on the Washington clock' for the Afghanistan surge, as he once described his public

WikiLeaks is Asking for Urgent Help By David Heath July 15, 2010 iTWire -- Following the arrest of the person suspected of leaking the “Collateral Murder” video, WikiLeaks feels that it is under attack and is seeking urgent support.iTWire received the following message in the past few minutes, it’s meaning is very clear. We ask readers to assist where they can. WikiLeaks may be under attack. You were generous enough to write to us, but we have not had the labor resources to respond. Your support is important to us. Please read all of this email to understand what is going on. We apologize for not getting back to you before. It is not through any lack of interest on our part, but an enforced lack of resources. One of our alleged sources, a young US intelligence analyst, Bradley Manning, has been detained and shipped to a US military prison in Kuwait, where he is being held without trail. Mr. Manning is alleged to have acted according to his conscious and leaked to us the Collateral Murder video and the video of a massacre that took place in Afghanistan last year at Garani. The Garani massacre, which we are still working on, killed over 100 people, mostly children. Mr. Manning allegedly also sent us 260,000 classified US Department cables, reporting on the actions of US Embassy's engaging in abusive actions all over the world. We have denied the allegation, but the US government is acting as if the allegation is true and we do have a lot of other material that exposes human rights abuses by the United States government. Mr. Manning was allegedly exposed after talking to an unrelated journalist who then worked with the US government to detain him.
[ppiindia] Hati-Hati Membeli Rumah Indent, Agar Anda Tidak Merugi
By : Alihozi Suatu hari siang yg panas dan lalulintas yg padat datang seorang ibu muda ke kantor saya di daerah Fatmawati. Ibu muda itu kita panggil saja Ibu MD (nama samara red). Ibu MD sengaja memang menemui saya untuk mengkonsultasikan pengajuan KPR (Kredit Kepemilikan rumah) untuk rumahnya di salah satu perumahan di Jabotabek. Ibu MD menceritakan kalau sebenarnya ia dan teman-teman kantornya berjumlah puluhan orang sudah pernah mengajukan pembelian rumah di salah satu developer yg tidak ternama. Namun rumah yg akan dibeli tsb belum dibangun masih berupa tanah kavling (Indent) . Ibu MD dan teman-temanya percaya kepada developer tsb karena pembeliannya bisa lewat KPR salah satu bank di Jakarta. Setelah mereka membayar DP (Down Payment) sebesar 10% dari harga rumah tsb, ternyata setelah jalan 2 tahun rumah tsb tidak jadi dibangun, developer perumahan tsb telah kabur alias melarikan diri. Akhirnya Ibu MD dan teman-teman kantornya harus menelan pil pahit kehilangan uang yg dibawa kabur oleh developer gadungan tsb. Kejadian tsb adalah kejadian nyata yg diceritakan langsung oleh Ibu MD kepada penulis. Yang mana kejadian dialami oleh Ibu MD banyak juga orang yang mengalami hal serupa. Yang menjadi pertanyaan sekarang bagaimana atau tips-tips apa agar kejadian Ibu MD dan teman-temannya tidak terulang lagi kepada kita semua. Berikut jawaban dari saya selaku praktisi keuangan bank syariah : 1.Usahakan Anda ketika ingin membeli rumah adalah rumah yang sudah jadi bukan indent, dan sertipikatnya sudah pecah masing-masing rumah kalau memang developernya tidak ternama. 2.Kalau Anda ingin juga membeli rumah yang masih indent , pilihlah developer yg memang sudah memiliki track record yg bagus (sudah ternama), sudah banyak membangun perumahan dimana-mana. 3.Kalau Anda ingin membeli rumah yg masih indent, jangan mudah percaya dg ucapan atau janji manis developer tsb misalnya, rumah tsb akan segera dibangun, harga murah dan bisa KPR dg bank manapun. Pastikan memang Anda sudah mengenal developer tsb dg baik , tahu rumah tinggalnya dan juga pekerjaannya sehari-hari. 4.Kalau Anda ingin membeli rumah yg masih indent, pastikan legalitas surat-surat tanah tsb memang tidak bermasalah dan sudah bersertipikat masing-masing. 5.Jangan terburu-buru dalam memilih rumah, Anda harus menyediakan waktu yang cukup dalam memilih rumah. 6.Berdo'a memohon petunjuk kepada Allah,SWT Tuhan Yang Maha Kuasa sebelum membeli rumah. Selamat Memilih Rumah dan berhati-hatilah agar tidak merugi. Salam http://alihozi77.blogspot.com Praktisi Keuangan Syariah Hp:0812-1249-001 email ali.h...@yahoo.co.id
[ppiindia] Iraqis feel rising Iran clout in their wallets
http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=MTA3NTAyNDQyNg== Iraqis feel rising Iran clout in their wallets Published Date: June 16, 2010 KARBALA, Iraq: Iranian rials change hands as easily as Iraqi dinars in this holy city's old bazaar, its alleyways teeming with Iranian pilgrims bused in on package tours run by Tehran. The Ayatollah Khomeini banknotes and Farsi chatter aren't alone in lending a Persian flavor. Shelves in merchant stalls like Yassin Saleh's sit heavy with containers of honey, cosmetics and toothpaste, all made across the still-disputed border. Bestsellers include travel-size bottles of Iranian Sehat brand shampoo. They're cheap but effective, Saleh says, as boxy Iranian-built Barfab air coolers trundle away nearby. Some people don't care about the cost ... but those who want lower prices like the Iranian products. Trade with longtime rival Iran is bringing Iraq investments it sorely needs. Billion-dollar pacts are being signed. Branches of Iranian banks blacklisted by the United States are opening. But the growing ties also frame a political imbalance the US is loath to see in a country struggling to rebuild after years of war. As America's influence wanes in Iraq, and its troops withdraw, Iran is capitalizing on centuries-old religious and cultural ties to secure greater leverage in the country - even as Washingto n works to dissuade others from dealing with Tehran over its nuclear program. It's a political and economic tug-of-war the US risks losing, if only because Iraq's reconstruction needs open the door for a marriage of convenience. Iran, squeezed elsewhere by sanctions, finds in Iraq a rare and ready market at a time when lingering security fears continue to discourage Western investments in the country. Iran would like to have a stronger presence in Iraq ... primarily because so many other places have been closed off to it. It's partly necessity, said Anoush Ehteshami, a professor at Britain's Durham University. Iran doesn't want to lose its footing again in Iraq. Under Saddam Hussein, Iraq fought a ruinous eight-year war with Iran beginning in 1980 that killed hundreds of thousands of people and devastated both countries' economies. Many of Iraq's majority Shiites, persecuted by Saddam, sought sanctuary in Iran, only to return after the Iraqi dictator's fall in 2003. Some now hold key government posts. Many others have bought homes and set up businesses in places like Karbala, relying on Farsi learned in exile to cater to Iranians. That allows the trade links to keep growing - quadrupling to $4 billion last year compared to three years earlier, according to Iranian government figures. Senior Iraqi and Iranian officials meet frequently. The visits have netted a series of economic cooperation agreements, including power supply deals for Iraq and pledges to create cross-border free trade zones. Iran has offered its neighbor a $1 billion loan to buy Iranian goods. In Basra, Iraq's second largest city and a nucleus for powerful Shiite groups, more than 60 Iranian companies gathered this year for a five-day trade fair. The fair was the biggest such Iranian-run event since the US-led invasion. Freezer trucks and motorcycles were on display, along with dairy products, canned goods, clothes and cement. The port city, which is also the springboard for the majority of Iraq's oil exports, last month signed off on a nearly $1 billion plan for an Iranian construction company to build thousands of homes, hotels and a mall, said Haider Ali Fadhil, who heads the Basra Investment Commission. In March, Iran state-run Bank Melli opened its second Iraqi branch, even though the bank is under U.S. and European sanctions over its alleged ties to Iran's nuclear program. Two other Iranian banks on a US watch list, Parsian and Karafarin, plan to open in Iraq soon. Iranian embassy officials in Baghdad say actual trade levels are as high as $7 billion, making Iraq one of its biggest trading partners. Iran's Commerce Ministry is aiming for trade of $10 billion per year within three years. For Iran, investing in places like Basra and the shrine cities of Najaf and Karbala is a supplementary means of exerting influence in Iraq, said Kenneth Katzman, a Mideast specialist at the US government's Congressional Research Service. I don't see the US as wanting to promote that. The U.S. interest is to ... isolate Iran, not encourage greater economic integration, he said. The increasing closeness also worries many of Iraq's minority Sunni Muslims, and Iraq's mostly Sunni neighbors, such as fellow OPEC member Saudi Arabia. Tehran has for years pushed for a pipeline to carry Iraqi crude oil to Iran's Abadan refinery. Refined fuel would then be shipped in the opposite direction. Iran already exports fuel to Iraq, even though both lack the refining capacity to meet local demand. It's a strategy that analysts say makes little economic sense. It's a

Salah satunya Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika, Tifatul Sembiring yang hari ini mengadakan rapat kerja dengan Komisi I DPR, Rabu (16/6). Secara resmi rapat itu membahas seputar dunia informasi dan komunikasi, namun kasus video mesum mirip artis itu dipastikan menjadi salah satu bahasan. Mungkin salah satunya isu terakhir, soal video yang mirip Ariel-Luna Maya, kata Effendy Choirie, salah satu anggota Komisi I asal daerah pemilihan Jatim, pagi tadi. Menurut Gus Choi, begitu ia biasa dipanggil, DPR perlu mengetahui pendapat Menkominfo karena pandangan para anggota DPR mengenai kasus ini berbeda-beda. Kalau saya pribadi, soal video itu mesti diproses secara hukum. Yang penting dipercepat prosesnya, katanya. Gus Choi mengatakan, perbuatan asusila yang terjadi dalam video itu, dalam konteks agama dan moral-sosial tidak bisa dibenarkan. Tapi itu urusan pribadi mereka, kata Gus Choi. Masing-masing orang punya hak berbuat mesum atau berbuat baik, itu urusan mereka pada Tuhan, lanjutnya. Meski begitu, pemerintah, kata Gus Choi, harus bertindak supaya penyebaran video itu tidak meluas. Kepolisian harus bertindak cepat atas nama kepentingan publik. Penyebaran video melalui media maya menggunakan gelombang frekuensi, gelombang elektromagnetik, itu kan sebetulnya harusnya digunakan sebesar-besarnya kemakmuran rakyat, tetapi oleh oknum tertentu dijadikan alat menyebarkan asusila, ujar Gus Choi. Negara harus bertanggung jawab, kenapa mereka begitu gampang menggunakan itu, tegasnya Sebelumnya, Tifatul meminta Ariel, Luna Maya dan Cut Tari bersikap terbuka hingga bisa membantu penyelidikan kepolisian. Tifatul mengingatkan sesungguhnya yang menjadi korban video mesum tersebut adalah masyarakat, bukan pelakunya. Sebab para orangtua jadi gelisah lantaran khawatir anak-anak mereka ikut menyaksikan adegan-adegan mesum tersebut. Saya imbau supaya mereka bersikap gentle. Videonya ada dan tersebar luas, tapi tidak ada yang mengaku bertanggung jawab, kata Tifatul. Ariel dan Luna Maya sendiri sepertinya tidak lagi bungkam terkait kasus ini. Pasangan penyanyi dan presenter ini dikabarkan akan curhat di stasiun televisi luar negeri, CNN. Hal itu diungkapkan pengacara mereka, O.C. Kaligis. Dia (Luna Maya) bilang mau ngomong di CNN, di Metro (TV) juga, ujarnya. Sebelumnya, Luna merasa tidak harus bicara di media. Menurut Luna tidak mudah menjelaskan apa yang sebenarnya terjadi antara dirinya dan Ariel karena sulit mengubah opini masyarakat. Kita (Kami) ngomong pun, media sudah memberikan opini-opini yang tidak terjadi. Kita nggak tahu apa yang terjadi nanti. Kita nggak mungkin hanya sekali bilang nggak, nggak, nggak atau iya, iya, iya, dan bisa mengubah opini publik, kata Luna saat diwawancarai TVOne, Selasa (15/6). Beredarnya video porno itu membuat Ariel dan Luna merasa dirugikan. Mereka pun sudah mencurigai pelaku penyebar video porno yang menggemparkan itu. Ada yang ingin hal ini terjadi. Ada beberapa orang yang kami curigai, ujar Boy Arvian, tim pengacara Ariel dan Luna, tanpa menyebut nama-nama yang ia curigai. Saat diwawancara TVOne, Ariel merasa sebagai korban pembunuhan karakter. Jika merasa sebagai korban, mengapa Ariel tidak lapor polisi? Ya nantilah, ini, kan, lagi proses siapa sih pelaku sebenarnya, kata Boy. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Di Jakarta, ekses negatif itu mulai muncul. Dua remaja nekat mencuri sepeda milik warga di daerah Sunter, Tanjung Priok, Rabu (16/6) dini hari, dengan alasan mencari modal untuk taruhan pertandingan sepak bola Piala Dunia. Namun naas, aksi kedua remaja tersebut dipergoki warga lalu diburu dan berhasil ditangkap. Kedua remaja itu itu pun babak belur dan nyaris tewas dihakimi massa. Kedua pelaku, Al, 18,dan Es, 17, tertangkap tangan setelah keluar dari sebuah gang di Jalan Telaga Murni, Sunter Jaya, Tanjung Priok sambil membawa sebuah sepeda yang bukan miliknya. Mereka bukan warga sini, membawa sepeda milik warga di sini, ' ujar Eko, saksi mata yang juga warga sekitar. Kedua pelaku pun tak berkutik ketika dituduh warga sebagai pencuri. Mereka sempat berusaha kabur, namun berhasil dicegah dan diringkus oleh warga. Beruntung aksi brutal massa yang nyaris menghakimi kedua pelaku urung dilakukan begitu petugas Polsek Tanjung Priok tiba di lokasi kejadian.

[ppiindia] Mengapa Doa Kita Dikabulkan?
Mengapa Doa Kita Dikabulkan?* By: agussyafii Saya pernah bertemu dengan bapak yang memiliki seorang putri, istrinya yang dicintainya sedang sakit keras tergolek di rumah sakit, setiap hari beliau datang ke rumah sakit menggantikan bajunya dan juga berbincang. Dokternya seolah kehilangan harapan namun beliau sebagai suaminya yakin akan kesembuhan sang istri. Sampai pada suatu hari, beliau melihat sebuah kenyataan istrinya tubuhnya sudah pulih kembali bahkan beberapa hari kemudian dinyatakan telah sembuh dari sakitnya. Pernah saya berbncang-bincang mengenai hal itu. Beliau bertutur, 'Saya yakin Allah akan Mengabulkan doa2 saya.' Keyakinan itulah yang menyebabkan doa2 beliau begitu mudah dikabulkan. Di dalam kehidupan sehari-hari banyak di dalam hidupnya mendapatkan kemudahan dan sering dikabulkan doa-doanya. Ada tiga kunci dikabulkannya sebuah doa: 1. Kualitas diri yang berdoa. Doa setiap hamba kepada Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala akan dikabulkan sangat tergantung pada kualitas hambanya yang berdoa. Ada seorang Ibu yang berdoa ditengah malam senantiasa diiringi dengan tetesan air mata untuk anaknya agar diterima disebuah perusahaan maka keesokan harinya sang ibu mendapatkan kabar bahwa anaknya diterima diperusahaan tempat anaknya melamar pekerjaan. 2. Kualitas ketaqwaan yang berdoa. Setiap orang yang akan berdoa hendaknya meningkatkan keimanan dan ketaqwaanNya sehingga jika doa kita dikabulkan memang karena patut untuk dikabulkan. Saya pernah bertemu dengan seorang pengusaha yang mengalami kemajuan pesat didalam usahanya bertutur pada saya, kemajuan dibidang usaha berbanding lurus dengan kemajuan dibidang spiritual. Sholatnya ditingkatkan, shodaqohnya ditingkat, maka dengan sendirinya perusahaan meningkat pesat karena doa semua karyawannya.' 3. Amal Kebaikan. Sebelum kita meminta dalam doa. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala akan mengabulkan permintaan kita, jika memang kita memang telah pantas menerima nilai yang seharusnya kita terima. Berilah kontribusi lebih besar dari apa yang kita inginkan dalam doa. Amal kebaikan yang telah kita lakukan salah satu faktor penyebab dikabulkan sebuah doa. Maka tidaklah mustahil mengapa ada orang yang berdoa senantiasa dikabulkan oleh Allah karena memang ada orang yang sudah mencapai taraf kekasih Allah. Sebagai seorang kekasih apapun yang diminta oleh pujaan hatiNya, apapun yang diminta akan selalu diberi. Bahkan sebelum memintapun sudah diberi. Dan apabila hamba-hamba-Ku bertanya kepadamu tentang Aku, maka (jawablah), bahwasanya Aku adalah dekat. Aku mengabulkan permohonan orang yang berdoa apabila ia memohon kepada-Ku. Maka hendaklah mereka itu memenuhi (segala perintah-Ku) dan hendaklah mereka beriman kepada-Ku, agar mereka selalu berada dalam kebenaran.

[ppiindia] Menko Kesra: Pelayanan Kesehatan Nasional Masih Rendah
Reefleksi : Rakyat sudah tahu tanpa pernyataan menko kesra bahwa pelayanan kesehatan nasional masih rendah, karena para petinggi partai politik dan pengusasa negara untuk check up pergi ke Singpaura tau Malaysia. Dengan mutu pelayanan kesehatan yang masih rendah apakah akan diimbangi namanya dengan didirikan rumah sakit di negeri orang? http://www.republika.co.id/berita/breaking-news/kesehatan/10/06/16/120153-menko-kesra-pelayanan-kesehatan-nasional-masih-rendah Menko Kesra: Pelayanan Kesehatan Nasional Masih Rendah Rabu, 16 Juni 2010, 15:42 WIB REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA--Menteri Koordinator bidang Kesejahteraan Rakyat, Agung Laksono, menilai kinerja pelayanan kesehatan masih rendah terutama di daerah tertinggal, terpencil, perbatasan dan pulau-pulau terluar. Padahal kinerja kesehatan merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalam upaya peningkatan kualitas kesehatan penduduk, kata Menko Kesra Agung Laksono, Rabu (16/6). Agung Laksono menjelaskan, kondisi itu menjadi tantangan pembangunan kesehatan di Indonesia yang perlu dukungan semua masyarakat. Selain kinerja pelayanan kesehatan yang masih rendah, Agung menambahkan tantangan pembangunan kesehatan lain adalah disparitas kasus kesehatan. Meskipun secara nasional kualitas kesehatan masyarakat meningkat namun disparitas antar tingkat sosial ekonomi dan antar wilayah masih cukup tinggi, katanya. Tak hanya itu, tantangan lain yang harus diatasi yaitu beban ganda penyakit di Indonesia yang mengalami transisi epidemologi. Kondisi itu ditandai dengan prevalensi dan insidensi penyakit menular yang masih tinggi namun dalam waktu yang bersamaan terjadi peningkatan penyakit tidak menular. Agung menambahkan, masih banyaknya masyarakat yang belum menjalani pola hidup sehat. Kongisi sanitasi yang rendah, lanjut dia, juga memperberat tantangan pembangunan kesehatan di Indonesia. Menko kesra tak ketinggalan menyinggung tingkat pelayanan rumah sakit daerah. Kualitas pelayanan kesehatan yang rendah ditandai kualitas pelayanan dibawah standar di sebagian rumah sakit daerah dan keterbatasan tenaga kesehatan. Itu harus diatasi, katanya. Dia juga mengatakan hingga saat ini jumlah dan distribusi dokter, bidan serta perawat belum merata. Indonesia mengalami kekurangan pada hampir semua tenaga kesehatan yang diperlukan, katanya.

[ppiindia] Mengapa Doa Kita Dikabulkan?
Mengapa Doa Kita Dikabulkan?* By: agussyafii Saya pernah bertemu dengan bapak yang memiliki seorang putri, istrinya yang dicintainya sedang sakit keras tergolek di rumah sakit, setiap hari beliau datang ke rumah sakit menggantikan bajunya dan juga berbincang. Dokternya seolah kehilangan harapan namun beliau sebagai suaminya yakin akan kesembuhan sang istri. Sampai pada suatu hari, beliau melihat sebuah kenyataan istrinya tubuhnya sudah pulih kembali bahkan beberapa hari kemudian dinyatakan telah sembuh dari sakitnya. Pernah saya berbncang-bincang mengenai hal itu. Beliau bertutur, 'Saya yakin Allah akan Mengabulkan doa2 saya.' Keyakinan itulah yang menyebabkan doa2 beliau begitu mudah dikabulkan. Di dalam kehidupan sehari-hari banyak di dalam hidupnya mendapatkan kemudahan dan sering dikabulkan doa-doanya. Ada tiga kunci dikabulkannya sebuah doa: 1. Kualitas diri yang berdoa. Doa setiap hamba kepada Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala akan dikabulkan sangat tergantung pada kualitas hambanya yang berdoa. Ada seorang Ibu yang berdoa ditengah malam senantiasa diiringi dengan tetesan air mata untuk anaknya agar diterima disebuah perusahaan maka keesokan harinya sang ibu mendapatkan kabar bahwa anaknya diterima diperusahaan tempat anaknya melamar pekerjaan. 2. Kualitas ketaqwaan yang berdoa. Setiap orang yang akan berdoa hendaknya meningkatkan keimanan dan ketaqwaanNya sehingga jika doa kita dikabulkan memang karena patut untuk dikabulkan. Saya pernah bertemu dengan seorang pengusaha yang mengalami kemajuan pesat didalam usahanya bertutur pada saya, kemajuan dibidang usaha berbanding lurus dengan kemajuan dibidang spiritual. Sholatnya ditingkatkan, shodaqohnya ditingkat, maka dengan sendirinya perusahaan meningkat pesat karena doa semua karyawannya.' 3. Amal Kebaikan. Sebelum kita meminta dalam doa. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala akan mengabulkan permintaan kita, jika memang kita memang telah pantas menerima nilai yang seharusnya kita terima. Berilah kontribusi lebih besar dari apa yang kita inginkan dalam doa. Amal kebaikan yang telah kita lakukan salah satu faktor penyebab dikabulkan sebuah doa. Maka tidaklah mustahil mengapa ada orang yang berdoa senantiasa dikabulkan oleh Allah karena memang ada orang yang sudah mencapai taraf kekasih Allah. Sebagai seorang kekasih apapun yang diminta oleh pujaan hatiNya, apapun yang diminta akan selalu diberi. Bahkan sebelum memintapun sudah diberi. Dan apabila hamba-hamba-Ku bertanya kepadamu tentang Aku, maka (jawablah), bahwasanya Aku adalah dekat. Aku mengabulkan permohonan orang yang berdoa apabila ia memohon kepada-Ku. Maka hendaklah mereka itu memenuhi (segala perintah-Ku) dan hendaklah mereka beriman kepada-Ku, agar mereka selalu berada dalam kebenaran.

[ppiindia] Mau menolong rakyat kecil, malah dipidana! (Kriminalisasi di UU Kesehatan)
From: Adyanto Aditomo adyantoadit...@yahoo.co.id Date: Wednesday, June 16, 2010, 4:17 PM Kalau Aparat Hukum kita sudah tidak punya Hati Nurani, maka apapun dilakukannya untuk menghukum masyarakat yang tidak berdosa. Bila Mentri Kesehatan gagal melindungi aparatnya yang diperlakukan secara sewenang - wenang oleh Aparat Hukum ketika sedang menjalankan tugasnya menolong masyarakat yang sedang sakit, sebaiknya Presiden SBY turun tangan untuk menyelesaikan kasus ini sebaik - baiknya. Semoga saja ada Aparat Hukum atau Keluarganya yang menderita dan tewas akibat tidak ada dokter yang menolong ketika sedang sekarat, sedangkan tenaga medis lainnya diancam hukuman penjara bila berani menolong pasien yang sedang sekarat. Apakah memang ada doktrin dari Kapolri dan Jaksa Agung bahwa: Abaikan Pasien yang sedang sekarat demi tegaknya hukum??? Salam, Adyanto Aditomo Mantri Tolong Warga Dipidana Kasus Misran Drama Pedih Kebijakan Pemerintah Andi Saputra - detikNews Misran (foto: Anid/detikcom) Jakarta - Kasus Misran, mantri desa Kuala Samboja, Kutai Kartanegara, Kalimantan yang dipidana karena menolong warga menyita perhatian seluruh masyarakat. Menurut pengamat politik UI, Bonie Hargens, kasus tersebut merupakan salah satu drama pedih yang dipertontonkan pemerintah dalam mengurus kesehatan masyarakat. Ini drama yang sangat pedih. Dipertontonkan oleh pemerintah ditengah banyaknya tragedi keadilan di negeri ini, dari kasus hukum, politik dan kini kesehatan, ujar Bonie saat berbincang dengan detikcom, Jumat, (6/5/2010). Kesehatan sebagai hak asasi manusia harusnya tidak terhalang oleh peraturan-peraturan yang membingungkan masyarakat. Terlebih, penerapan hukum oleh polisi, jaksa dan hakim yang tidak mengedepankan keadilan menjadi pelengkap tragedi Misran tersebut. Sebagai sebuah kejahatan terstruktural, ini kan sudah sempurna. Pemerintah dan wakil rakyat membuat UU. Penegak hukumnya menerapkan UU. Dan lagi-lagi yang dikorbankan adalah warga yang membutuhkan kesehatan, bebernya. Bonie yang ikut sidang Mahkamah Konstitusi kemarin, mengaku miris. Dirinya tak bisa membayangkan ada pasien yang harus dibawa dengan sampan hingga 3 hari 3 malam hanya untuk mendapat pertolongan dokter. Padahal, dilokasi pasien tersebut ada mantri yang standby 24 jam tapi tak boleh menolong karena larangan UU. Ini kan sangat miris dan memprihatinkan. Saat saya ikut sidang, benar-benar tak bisa berkata apa-apa. Janganlah Indonesia ditambah dengan tragedi kemanusiaan lagi, pungkasnya. Misran dipidana 3 bulan penjara oleh PN Tenggarong lalu dikuatkan oleh putusan banding PT Samarinda dengan tuduhan tak berwenang menolong. Akibat putusan ini, Misran beserta 12 mantri desa lainnya mengajukan permohonan penghapusan kriminalisasi UU Kesehatan. Dalam nota kesaksiannya di MK kemarin, Pemerintah lewat Kemenkes menilai UU tersebut sudah sesuai dengan konstitusi. Tapi dalam perersmian gedung baru RSCM, Menkes Endang Rahayu menyatakan sebaliknya, jika UU bermasalah maka perlu direvisi. Kalau pasal itu bisa multiinterpretasi, berarti itu harus diperbaiki, ujar Endang siang ini. (asp/mad) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[ppiindia] Petani Tembakau: Boikot Rokok Putih Amerika
Petani Tembakau: Boikot Rokok Putih Amerika Antique Rabu, 16 Juni 2010, 15:56 WIB VIVAnews - Pernyataan sikap Menteri Perdagangan (Mendag) Mari Elka Pangestu mengenai tidak akan melakukan pemboikotan produk rokok putih produksi Amerika Serikat, mendapat kecaman keras dari Asosiasi Petani Tembakau Indonesia (APTI) Jawa Tengah. Pasalnya, negara Paman Sam tersebut berani memboikot rokok kretek Indonesia, kenapa sebaliknya Indonesia tidak berani memboikot rokok putih. Ketua APTI Jawa Tengah, Nurtantio Wisnu Brata mengatakan memang harus ada keberanian dari pemimpin negara dalam mengambil kebijakan. Sebagai contoh, merespon kebijakan dari Amerika yang melarang masuk rokok kretek Indonesia ke negaranya. Ya, kalau Amerika melarang, kita juga harus berani melarang atau memboikotnya, kata dia kepada VIVAnews, Rabu 16 Juni 2010. Dengan tunduknya negara kita atas kebijakan tersebut, lanjut dia, berarti negara ini masih belum bebas dari penjajahan. Hal itu telihat dari sikap pemerintah yang masih mau diinjak-injak mengenai kebijakan rokok kretek. Makanya minggu depan, kita akan ke Menteri Perdangan dan Menteri Perindustrian untuk menyampaikan surat keberatan, tutur Wisnu. Adapun isi surat tersebut dikatakan Wisnu, yakni berisi tuntutan untuk melindungi kepada produk rokok kretek Indonesia. Sebab, rokok kretek ini merupakan warisan budaya bangsa Indonesia. Kita mengharapkan rokok kretek dijadikan sebagai warisan budaya. Dengan begitu, keberadaannya harus dilindungi, ungkap Wisnu. Mengenai apakah petani tembakau akan melakukan demo, dia mengaku saat ini para petani sudah lelah karena untuk menghadang RPP Tembakau saja sudah lelah. Mungkin nanti kita akan gelar aksi yang di dalamnya mencakup demo tolak RPP Tembakau dan pemboikotan rokok putih, ujar dia.

[ppiindia] Amerika Boikot Rokok Kretek Buatan Indonesia
Amerika Boikot Rokok Kretek Buatan Indonesia Antique, Agus Dwi Darmawan Rabu, 16 Juni 2010, 14:17 WIB VIVAnews - Menteri Perindustrian MS Hidayat mengetahui informasi mengenai pemboikotan impor rokok kretek asal Indonesia oleh Amerika Serikat. Menurut dia, pemboikotan rokok kretek tersebut hanya merupakan strategi dagang. Hidayat mengakui, pemerintah sampai detik ini belum menerima informasi secara resmi dari pemerintah AS. Pemboikotan itu terjadi hanya karena business to business, ujar Hidayat di DPR, Rabu 16 Juni 2010. Menurut dia, sejauh ini pemerintah tidak secara resmi menyelesaikan persoalan tersebut. Penyelesaian lebih ke korporasi, kata Hidayat. Pemerintah, Hidayat menambahkan, juga tidak terlalu mempersoalkan masalah itu, karena nilai ekspor ke AS untuk rokok kretek terbilang kecil. Menteri Perdagangan Mari Elka Pangestu mengatakan bahwa pemerintah sudah melakukan proses gugatan untuk menyelesaikan sengketa perdagangan tentang rokok kretek. Kami sudah menanyakan tentang itu, kata dia. Jawabannya, kemungkinan akan diperoleh dalam jangka waktu dekat. Adapun informasi yang diperoleh dari pengusaha adalah diskriminasi rokok kretek ini adalah pelarangan impor karena rokok kretek diduga mengandung zat addictive yang menyebabkan kecanduan.

[ppiindia] Komputer Berbahaya untuk Anak
Komputer Berbahaya untuk Anak Muhammad Firman, Harriska Farida Adiati Rabu, 16 Juni 2010, 12:47 WIB VIVAnews - Menurut psikolog Dr Aric Sigman, PC bisa merusak otak anak-anak yang masih dalam usia perkembangan. Sigman mengungkapkan, anak-anak di bawah umur sembilan tahun sebaiknya tidak diperbolehkan menggunakan PC. Kepada harian The Telegraph, seperti dikutip 16 Juni 2010, Sigman mengatakan bahwa memperkenalkan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (ICT) pada usia dini menyebabkan kemampuan untuk mencurahkan perhatian pada suatu hal menjadi berkurang. Sigman merujuk pada program Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), yang diperkenalkan pemerintah Inggris pada 2008. Program tersebut memaparkan 12 hal terkait IT yang sebaiknya diperkenalkan anak-anak saat mereka mulai menginjak usia lima tahun. Program tersebut antara lain melakukan penelitian dengan memperkenalkan sebuah komputer pada anak berusia 22 bulan. Anak-anak juga kemudian diarahkan agar mampu memanfaatkan fungsi-fungsi ICT sederhana, termasuk menggunakan mouse dan keyboard pada usia 40 bulan. “Akhirnya ditemukan adanya konflik antara multitasking dan konsentrasi yang berkelanjutan. Hal-hal tersebut tidak bisa dan tidak sebaiknya dikembangkan pada saat bersamaan,” kata Sigman. Sigman menyebutkan, anak-anak bisa saja tertarik pada alkohol, senjata, dan pornografi, tetapi bukan berarti kita harus memberikan mereka akses pada hal-hal tersebut. Ia juga menolak argumen yang menyebutkan bahwa berhubung hidup kita saat ini dikelilingi PC, maka anak-anak perlu mulai dibiasakan menggunakan PC pada usia dini. www.vivanews.com http://teknologi.vivanews.com/news/read/158039-komputer-berbahaya-untuk-anak Dipublikasikan : Rabu, 16 Juni 2010, 12:47 WIB ©VIVAnews.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[ppiindia] Bahasa Perancis Tak Berguna
Bahasa Perancis Tak Berguna Chris Bryant, mantan menteri luar negeri Inggris Rabu, 16 Juni 2010 | 20:29 WIB LONDON, KOMPAS.com - Seorang mantan menteri luar negeri Inggris, Rabu (16/6), membela pendapatnya yang menyatakan Perancis merupakan bahasa yang tidak berguna. Menurut mantan menteri itu, bahasa China dan Arab lebih penting dalam dunia global moderen ketimbang Perancis. Harian Telegraph melaporkan, Chris Bryant, mantan menteri Eropa pada masa perdana menteri Gordon Brown dari Partai Buruh, membuat komentar itu di parlemen Selasa. Komentarnya itu langsung memicu protes dari Partai Konservatif yang menilai hal itu tergolong menghina tetangga Inggris tersebut. Kecuali kalau kita memiliki jumlah orang yang memadai yang berbicara bahasa asing yang modern, dan tidak hanya bahasa asing modern tak berguna seperti Perancis, Inggris bisa menderita secara internasional, katanya sebagaimana dikuti harian itu. Masih membela komentarnya itu, Rabu, ia mengatakan kepada AFP, Poin saya adalah bahwa Perancis tidak lagi bahasa diplomasi atau bisnis dan bahwa kami di Inggirs tergolong buruk dalam mempelajari bahasa asing yang modern. Itu sebabnya mengapa saya mendorong pemerintah untuk melakukan pekerjaan dalam mendorong orang untuk mempelajari bahasa Mandarin, Spanyol dan Arab yang sekarang dituturkan oleh banyak orang di negara sedang berkembang pesat. Perancis, secara tradisional dikenal sebagai bahasa diplomasi, telah lama menjadi bahasa asing pertama yang diajarkan di sekolah-sekolah Inggris, diikuti bahasa Jerman dan Spanyol, meski pelajaran bahasa Mandarin telah berkembang pesat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Bryant menambahkan, ia berbicara bahasa Perancis dan Spanyol dan telah menyuarakan pandangannya tentang topik itu sebelumnya, termasuk di televisi Perancis.

[ppiindia] Parlemen AS Cemaskan Perang Afganistan
Parlemen AS Cemaskan Perang Afganistan Komentar: AS tidak belajar dari kekalahan Uni Soviet di Afganistan! 3 bulan lalu sesumbar mau menaklukkan Taliban. Sekarang mulai ragu-ragu... Rabu, 16 Juni 2010 | 13:49 WIB www.savethechildren.org.uk Ilustrasi WASHINGTON, KOMPAS.com — Para anggota parlemen Amerika Serikat makin cemas terhadap perang di Afganistan di tengah tanda-tanda bahwa serangan di Kandahar, tempat kelahiran Taliban, tidak akan berjalan mulus sesuai harapan. Hal ini dikatakan pemimpin Dewan Perwakilan, Rabu (16/6/2010). Saya pikir ada kecemasan terhadap perang Afganistan. Saya pikir kami semua merasakan kecemasan itu, kata Pemimpin Mayoritas Demokrat di Dewan Perwakilan, Steny Hoyer, kepada para wartawan dalam penjelasan mingguannya. Serangan itu tak akan berlangsung semulus yang saya perkirakan. Kami kini justru mendengar bahwa di Kandahar segala sesuatunya tidak bisa dipecahkan secepat mungkin, seperti yang kita harapkan, katanya. Kongres AS diperkirakan segera akan memutuskan rancangan undang-undang pengeluaran untuk perang darurat. Pengeluaran tersebut untuk membiayai operasi-operasi di Irak dan Afganistan, yang menghadapi perlawanan dari sekutu-sekutu Demokrat di Gedung Putih. Menurut pandangan saya, saya mendukung permintaan Presiden, kata Hoyer. Dia menegaskan, keberhasilan adalah hal yang sangat penting di Afganistan dan Pakistan, terutama terhadap Taliban dan pemimpin jaringan teroris Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden. Tapi saya rasa bahwa pertanyaan Anda adalah apakah saya mendengar peningkatan pembicaraan ke arah itu., saya rasa jawabannya adalah 'ya', katanya menambahkan.

[ppiindia] Bangun Pabrik Pupuk, Pemerintah Minta Pertamina ke Iran
Bangun Pabrik Pupuk Pemerintah Minta Pertamina ke Iran Rabu, 16 Juni 2010 | 17:05 WIB DHONI SETIAWAN/KOMPAS.com Kantor Pertamina Pusat, Jakarta Pusat. JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — Pemerintah akan mendorong PT Pertamina masuk ke Iran untuk membangun pabrik pupuk di wilayah itu menggantikan PT Pusri. Kita coba mengundang Pertamina masuk ke sana, kata Menteri BUMN Mustafa Abubakar di sela Rapat Gabungan Menteri BUMN, Menteri Perdagangan, Menko Perekonomian, Menteri Perindustrian dengan Komisi IV, VI, dan VII di Gedung MPR/DPR Jakarta, Rabu (16/6/2010). Menurut Mustafa, alasan mengundang Pertamina karena perusahaan migas tersebut juga memiliki kerja sama pembangunan kilang di Iran. Saat ini, Kementerian BUMN sedang mengkaji kemungkinan penarikan Pusri dari Iran karena perusahaan pupuk itu sedang fokus membangun pabrik di dalam negeri, seperti pabrik di kawasan lapangan gas Donggi Senoro. Menurut catatan, Pusri dan NPCI—perusahaan asal Iran—telah menandatangani nota kesepahaman (MOU) pembangunan pabrik pupuk tersebut sejak April 2007. Alasan memilih Iran karena sumber gas di Iran cukup memadai dan harga relatif murah. Diketahui, investasi pabrik mencapai 700 juta dollar AS, di antaranya, yang berasal dari 100 juta dollar AS dari Bank Pembangunan Islam dan 150 juta dollar AS dari Bank Iran. Adapun pembagian saham antara Pemerintah Iran dan Pusri diperkirakan seimbang, yakni masing-masing 50 persen. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[ppiindia] Dianggap Tak Manusiawi, Ekspor Paha Kodok RI Diprotes
Komentar: Jutaan kambing, sapi, ayam, domba, bebek, burung merpati, disembelih tiap hari di Eropa dan seluruh dunia Jutaan ikan, udang, cumi, bekicot, ular, dll disantap orang tiap hari. Tidak ada yang mempersoalkan...? == Rabu, 16/06/2010 21:03 WIB Dianggap Tak Manusiawi, Ekspor Paha Kodok RI Diprotes Suhendra - detikFinance Jakarta - Ekspor paha kodok Indonesia ke Uni Eropa diprotes oleh salah satu LSM internasional di bidang lingkungan, karena produk tersebut dituding tak sesuai dengan ketentuan Eropa soal pemotongan hewan. Aksi ini bisa mengancam ekspor paha kodok Indonesia ke Eropa. Paha kodok diprotes oleh Greenpeace dengan alasan dibunuh secara tidak manusiawi, kata Ketua Umum Asosiasi Pengusaha Pengolahan dan Pemasaran Produk Perikanan Indonesia (AP5I) Thomas Darmawan saat ditemui di Hotel JW Marriot Jakarta, Rabu (16/6/2010). Ia menuturkan masalah tersebut padahal hanya mencakup kasus pemotongan hewan kodok hijau yang dilakukan oleh peternak kodok rakyat yang biasa melakukan pemotongan tanpa melalui rumah potong. Padahal itupun kata dia, hanya di konsumsi di dalam negeri alias tidak diekspor. Sekarang ini baru ada gerakan, sama seperti sawit, tambah Thomas. Sementara untuk kodok-kodok yang tujuan ekspor khususnya untuk jenis bull frog sudah diterapkan mekanisme rumah potong. Saat ini kata dia ada 12 eksportir yang bergerak di bidang ekspor paha kodok. Kita akan usul ke Bappenas untuk pengembangan rumah potong untuk kodok, jelasnya. Ia menjelaskan langkah-langkah yang dilakukan oleh LSM internasional tersebut tidak terlepas adanya undang-undang mengenai pri-kebinatangan yang berlaku di Eropa. Aspek-aspek penanganan hewan termasuk dalam hal memotong hewan cukup ketat di Uni Eropa, seperti juga mengenai aturan kandang lebih luas bagi ayam. Thomas menambahkan kebijakan-kebijakan semacam itu pada dasarnya adalah untuk melindungi konsumen. Namun ia berharap hal-hal semacam itu jangan terlalu ketat karena nantinya justru akan merugikan konsumen di Eropa sendiri karena membayar produk lebih mahal. Uni Eropa jangan cuma protes bantulah, katanya. Thomas mengatakan ekspor paha kodok Indonesia ke Eropa cukup laris di Perancis dan beberapa negara Eropa lainnya yang biasanya digunakan sebagai makanan yang lezat dan cukup digemari. Bahkan kata Thomas masalah hambatan dari Eropa dibidang perikanan bukan itu saja, baru-baru ini masalah soal daftar hitam kapal-kapal yang dianggap oleh Uni Eropa ilegal dari seluruh dunia. Di antara yang masuk dalam daftar itu, antara lain kapal-kapal dari Indonesia dan bekas kapal berbendera Indonesia. Sehingga kapal itu tidak boleh mengekspor produk perikanan meski sudah punya sertifikat, katanya. (hen/dnl) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[ppiindia] World Cup viewers killed in Somalia
Refleksi : Apa komentar Anda yang pandai ilmu agama illahi tentang larangan menonton bola, musik yang dilakukan oleh Hisbul Islam dan Al-Shabaab di Somalia? http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2010/06/2010616113342742696.html Wednesday, June 16, 2010 16:24 Mecca time, 13:24 GMT World Cup viewers killed in Somalia Somalis use makeshift satellite dishes to capture foreign broadcasts from South Africa [Reuters] Somali fighters from the Hizbul Islam group have killed two people and arrested dozens for violating a ban on watching World Cup football matches on television. Eyewitnesses said masked men from the group raided houses on Sunday and Monday in the Afgoi district, 30 km south of the capital Mogadishu, to make sure their ban stands. Hizbul Islam killed two people and arrested 35 others, all World Cup fans, Ali Yasin Gedi, vice-chairman of the Elman rights group, told Reuters on Tuesday. Islamists unexpectedly entered houses in Afgoi district and then fired (at) some people who tried to jump over the wall to escape he said. Hizbul Islam and another group al-Shabaab, which are widely seen as al-Qaeda's proxy in the region, control large swathes of the country and much of the capital. The groups enforce their own strict interpretation of Islam, routinely banning sport, music and dancing. Hizbul Islam unexpectedly knocked on our doors. They jumped over our wall. It was midnight and my two sons and others from the neighbourhood were watching the World Cup, resident Ismail Sidow said. Some residents in al-Shabaab-controlled areas are furtively watching the world's biggest sporting event, which is being staged in Africa for the first time, using makeshift satellite dishes to capture foreign broadcasts from South Africa. The first goal of the World Cup (scored) by South Africa is itself very great - we should be proud of it, said Mohamed Muhidiin Xute, a member of Somalia's Football Federation. Three years of fighting in the anarchic Horn of Africa nation has left 21,000 people dead and forced 1.5 million from their homes. Only small pockets of the capital remain in the hands of a Western-backed government and African Union peacekeepers. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[ppiindia] A blow to the Brotherhood
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2010/1002/eg2.htm 10 - 16 June 2010 Issue No. 1002 Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 A blow to the Brotherhood The Muslim Brotherhood's failure to win a single seat in the Shura Council's mid-term election comes as no surprise, reports Gamal Essam El-Din The Muslim Brotherhood failed to win any seats in the mid-term Shura Council elections. The second run-off round was held on Tuesday, without any Brotherhood candidates running. Brotherhood leaders expectedly voiced sharp criticism of the ruling National Democratic (NDP), which swept the poll. The NDP secured 80 seats, the opposition won four seats and the independents won the remaining four seats. Essam El-Erian, the official in charge of the group's political agenda, accused the NDP, in collaboration with the security forces, of manipulating the poll. The ballot lacked any judicial supervision and was rife with irregularities and fraud, he claimed . According to the Higher Electoral Commission (HEC), the election was marked by complete transparency. Four opposition party-based candidates were able to secure seats: Tagammu's Salah Misbah in the Nile-Delta governorate of Damietta; Al-Geel's Ahmed Al-Agouz and the Arab Nasserist's Mohsen Attia in the Old Cairo districts of Gammaliya and Azbakiya, and Ghad's Moussa Mustafa Moussa in Giza. It is the first time the Nasserist Party has been represented on the Shura Council. According to El-Erian a handful of opposition candidates were allowed to win to give a false impression that the polls were not rigged. Days before the June poll El-Erian said the Brotherhood wanted to penetrate the Shura Council so that the movement gains greater legitimacy and prestige. The Brotherhood fielded 15 candidates, including three members of the People's Assembly. Their failure may well be behind the Brotherhood throwing its weight behind the political reform campaign of Mohamed El-Baradei, the former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). El-Baradei held a press conference on Tuesday with Mohamed El-Katatni, leader of the Brotherhood's parliamentary bloc, during which the movement announced it would help in the drive to collect a million signatures for El-Baradei's petition to change the constitution and introduce guarantees for free and fair elections, including the presence of international monitors. The failure to secure a single Shura Council seat will not, says El-Erian, dissuade the movement from contesting the elections to the People's Assembly, scheduled next October. This is more important to us. The Shura Council lacks any real powers or popular appeal, he argued. The Brotherhood currently holds 86 seats in the 454-member People's Assembly. The movement has never occupied a seat on the Shura Council since it was established by president Anwar El-Sadat in 1980. The Brotherhood's drubbing in the Shura elections, dominated by the NDP since 1980, was expected, says Al-Ahram analyst Amr Hashem Rabie. Rabie doubts the Brotherhood's alliance with El-Baradei will hold firm. This is a tactical move. Should the Brotherhood hold its seats in next October's elections the alliance will collapse, he predicts. The liberal-oriented Wafd Party, which fielded 10 candidates, also failed to win a seat. The party hoped that Mahmoud Abdel-Wahed, its candidate in the Upper-Egypt governorate of Sohag's district of Baliana, will buck that trend in the run-off poll. Out of 88 contested seats the NDP has secured 66, said Intessar Nessim, chairman of the HEC. Add to this the 14 seats in which the NDP was standing uncontested and it has won 80 of the 88 seats up for grabs in the consultative upper house. Twenty candidates competed for the 10 seats in the run-off ballot on Tuesday. Of these, 11 belong to the NDP, one to the Wafd Party, and eight are independent candidates. Most, if not all, of the independents are NDP members who decided to run outside the party umbrella. According to Nessim, the turnout was 30.8 per cent (7.8 million) of registered voters during the first round. He denied that the voting was marred by any irregularities. The election was marked by complete transparency. Vote-counting committees did their job in the presence of monitors from civil society organisations and foreign and local press correspondents, said Nessim. If it had the slightest doubt about the propriety of the elections the HEC would not have announced the results. Brotherhood officials, though, say their observers were barred from entering polling and vote- counting stations. They also complain that their supporters were systematically harassed by security forces. Full judicial oversight of elections was cancelled in 2007. If there is any lesson to be learned from the Shura polls it is the necessity of again placing elections
[ppiindia] Turkey muddies the water
Refleksi :Masalah air di Timur Tengah misalnya antara Siria, Irak dan Turki, serta antara Israel-Palestinia-Yordania, apakah akan menjadi sumber sengketa dimasa mendatang? http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2010/1002/re85.htm 10 - 16 June 2010 Issue No. 1002 Turkey muddies the water Syria's plan to divert the waters of the Tigris portends a long and bitter quarrel with Iraq, reports Bassel Oudat from Damascus Last year's severe drought in northeastern Syria dried up the Khabur River which is the lifeline in that region, causing some 500,000 Syrians to migrate to other areas inside Syria. In response, the government signed a deal with the Kuwaiti Fund for Arab Economic Development to begin a project on the Tigris close to the Syrian-Turkish-Iraqi border, diverting enough water to fertilise 200,000 hectares. Baghdad was infuriated by the project and called Damascus to an emergency meeting to clarify the details of the surprise plan which would divert river water over long distances inside Syrian territories. Iraq's Water Resources Ministry stated that any diverted water will affect Iraq's already meagre water quota, which would negatively influence local agriculture and the economy. Iraqi officials also predicted that the plan will jeopardise already worsening relations between the two neighbouring states. Syria has not responded to Iraq's invitation. Informed Syrian sources asserted that the project was conceived decades ago, and not a new concept at all, as the Iraqis are claiming. In fact, it is an indicator of warming relations between Syria and Turkey, because Ankara gave Damascus the green light to go ahead and begin the project. The plan is indeed old, but was delayed because previous governments in Turkey refused to sign any agreement to share water with Syria and Iraq. With encouragement from abroad, Ankara was fooled into believing that it would be stronger and have more leverage by controlling the water flow. Syria and Iraq have fought over water resources in the past. In the 1980s, it threatened to ignite a war. Eventually the quarrel came to include Turkey, especially after Ankara began building large dams on the Euphrates and Tigris. So far, no three-way agreement has been reached because Turkey refuses to share the water with Syria and Iraq. The heart of the problem lies in differences of interpretation of Syria and Iraq on the one hand, and Turkey on the other. Turkey believes the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which originate in the Taurus Mountains in Turkey and pass through Syria and Iraq, to be marginally cross-border rivers because they barely pass inside the borders of Syria and Iraq. But Syria and Iraq consider them major international water bodies which should be evenly divided among everyone. When the regimes in Damascus and Baghdad fell out in the 1970-80s, this negatively affected their rights to the waters of the Euphrates and Tigris and a number of smaller rivers, because they refused to sit together or with the Turkish side. Ankara used Syrian- Iraqi tensions to exercise control over the waters of the rivers and keep a much larger share than stipulated in international water agreements for itself. It constructed massive dams on the rivers, using their waters in agricultural and industrial projects along their banks. It cut down the amount of water going to each country, and refused to recognise that the two rivers were international waterways but rather local Turkish rivers which happen to pass through Syria and Iraq on their way to the Arab shore, south of Basra in Iraq. In 1974, Turkey began the Southeastern Anatolian (GAP) project which consists of 21 dams, 17 of which on the Euphrates including Ataturk Dam and four others on the River Tigris. It also included 19 power stations and 47 water reservoirs, and a variety of other projects in the fields of agriculture, industry, transportation, irrigation and communication. Ankara earmarked $32 billion for the project and received a large part of the budget from international funding in the form of loans and grants, especially from the US, Canada, Israel and France. In 1987, Syria and Iraq tried to gain some recognition over the waters of the two rivers, but it was too late. Turkey refused to negotiate with them as one party and dealt with each side separately, taking a disproportionate amount for itself. Damascus and Baghdad could do nothing, especially in light of the fact that Ankara continued its plans to construct dams and was able to cut off the flow of the river altogether to both neighbours. In 1989, Syria and Iraq agreed to divide the quota of the Euphrates River given to them, whereby Syria's share amounted to 42 per cent and 52 per cent went to Iraq. Later, in 2000, the two sides agreed that Syria should receive a share of the Tigris water (which flows 50km inside its border),
[ppiindia] Women's rights gain focus in the Kingdom
http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/top_20_supplement/article66269.ece Women's rights gain focus in the Kingdom By JAFAR ALSHAYEB Published: Jun 15, 2010 15:40 Updated: Jun 15, 2010 15:40 After years of stymied efforts, reform in Saudi Arabia is focused on women's rights. A recent survey by the Researchers Center for Women's Studies in Riyadh examining Saudi newspapers and websites showed that from mid-January to mid-February 2010 some 40 percent of articles in print media and 58 percent of articles on websites addressed women's issues. Empowering women has become a priority for local activists and various initiatives are springing up to secure basic women's rights. The most recent and ambitious of these efforts is a national campaign, driven by local actors, calling for women's participation in municipal elections scheduled for autumn 2011. Prominent human rights activists, women's rights activists, writers and elected municipal council members are spearheading this national campaign for electoral participation, which was launched in March 2010. The goal is to coordinate activities on this issue throughout the Kingdom, including advocacy and media coverage, public meetings and speeches, writing to officials and training candidates. The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs has not yet ruled on the issue of allowing women to vote or to register as candidates. The position taken by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah on fostering the role of women in Saudi society has created an opening for such initiatives. In February 2009 the king appointed a woman to be deputy minister of education, the highest public office in the country to be held by a woman so far. A few months later, a member of the Senior Religious Council was removed from his post after condemning King Abdullah University of Science and Technology's co-ed environment. In December 2009, Lama Al-Sulaiman was the first woman to win a seat in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Jeddah and became the vice chairman of the most prestigious business organization in the country. Following that, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry appointed four women board members to CCIs: Faten Bundaqji and Aisha Natto in Jeddah, and Hana Al-Zuhair and Samira Al-Suwaigh in the Eastern Province. Taking into consideration the social and religious restrictions on women in the society, Saudi businesswomen have made major strides in the last few years toward breaking down barriers and gaining legislation that created a less restrictive business environment. For instance, in 2008 Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, the governor of Makkah, modified Article 160 of the Labor Law, which prohibited men and women from interacting in a business environment. The Labor Ministry also revised labor laws in 2008 in order to give women the choice to work. Women no longer require a male guardian's approval to get or leave a job. In the same year, authorities also reversed a ban on women staying in hotels alone. A new law is expected to give women the right to travel abroad without a male guardian's approval and the ability to use their national identification cards to travel to Gulf Cooperation Council states. Among many individual initiatives related to women's rights is a campaign called Where are my rights? headed by Khloud Al-Fahad, a businesswoman from Alkhobar, who seeks to educate women about their basic rights and equality between the sexes via publications, a website and frequent media coverage. Suad Al-Shamary, the first women lawyer in the Kingdom, has pursued many cases related to violations of women's rights to divorce and protection, childcare and support, and compensation for injury. In cooperation with other lawyers, she is currently pushing for legislation to set the age for legal marriage in order to avoid the marriages imposed on young girls. Other initiatives include establishing centers to protect victims of domestic violence as well as campaigns on divorce rights, family laws and the rights of women married to non-Saudis. Most women's rights initiatives are currently headed by individuals rather than associations due to the heavy restrictions on civil society organizations in the Kingdom. The growing activism of women - spurred in part by their awareness of the greater involvement in public life of women in neighboring states such as Bahrain and Kuwait, as well as attention from international figures such as Yakin Ertürk, Special Rapporteur of the United Nations Human Rights Council on Violence Against Women - have prompted tense debates between traditional ultra-conservative religious leaders and an increasingly outspoken liberal intellectual elite. Among the debated issues are gender interaction in schools and colleges, women's sports, participation in elections for chambers of commerce and municipal councils, women's driving, male guardian sponsorship, domestic violence, definition of
[ppiindia] Somali Islamists kill two for watching World Cup
http://arabnews.com/world/article66617.ece Somali Islamists kill two for watching World Cup By ABDI SHEIKH | REUTERS Published: Jun 15, 2010 16:43 Updated: Jun 15, 2010 16:43 MOGADISHU: Somali Islamist militants killed two people and arrested dozens of others for breaking a ban on watching the World Cup on television, residents said. They said the masked fighters from the Hizbul Islam group raided houses on Sunday and Monday in the Afgoi district, 30 km (19 miles) south of the capital Mogadishu, after hard-line Islamist groups banned Somalis from watching the tournament. Hizbul Islam killed two people and arrested 35 others, all World Cup fans, Ali Yasin Gedi, vice-chairman of the Elman rights group, told Reuters on Tuesday. Islamists unexpectedly entered houses in Afgoi district and then fired (at) some people who tried to jump over the wall to escape he added. Hizbul Islam and another group, al Shabaab, which is widely seen as Al-Qaeda's proxy in the region, control large swathes of the country and much of the capital. The groups enforce their own strict interpretation of Islam, routinely banning sport, music and dancing. Hizbul Islam unexpectedly knocked on our doors. They jumped over our wall. It was midnight and my two sons and others from the neighborhood were watching the World Cup, resident Ismail Sidow said. Some residents in Islamist-controlled areas are furtively watching the world's biggest sporting event, which is being staged in Africa for the first time, using makeshift satellite dishes to capture foreign broadcasts from South Africa. The first goal of the World Cup (scored) by South Africa is itself very great - we should be proud of it, said Mohamed Muhidiin Xute, a member of Somalia's Football Federation. A three-year insurgency in the anarchic Horn of Africa nation has left 21,000 people dead and forced 1.5 million from their homes. Only small pockets of the capital remain in the hands of a Western-backed government and African Union peacekeepers. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[ppiindia] Sex tape sparks call to control Internet in Indonesia
ttp://arabnews.com/world/article66644.ece Sex tape sparks call to control Internet in Indonesia By SUNANDA CREAGH | REUTERS Published: Jun 15, 2010 20:58 Updated: Jun 15, 2010 20:59 JAKARTA: The release of video clips appearing to show top starlets having sex has sparked renewed calls for tighter Internet controls in majority-Muslim Indonesia and more use of a controversial anti-pornography law. The anti-porn law, passed in 2008, was seen by many as a sign of the growing influence of religion in policy-making in traditionally moderate Indonesia, a worry for some investors hoping for pro-market reforms. Police are now considering invoking it in an investigation into the release on the grainy clips that appear to show pop singer Nazril Ariel Irham having sex, in one clip with television star girlfriend Luna Maya, while in another with actress Cut Tari. The stars have denied it is them. Local media reported Irham as saying his laptop was stolen last year and police have called the stars for questioning. Information Minister Tifatul Sembiring has expressed disgust at the clips, which have dominated Indonesian news since being leaked earlier this month. Why would anyone tape such a private thing? Sembiring was quoted as saying by local newspaper the Jakarta Post, which also reported him saying new rules were needed to ban negative Internet content. Sembiring's Islam-based party PKS, seen as one of the most conservative parties in Parliament, is a key member of President Bambang Susilo Yudhoyono's ruling coalition and pushed earlier this year for more Internet censorship controls. The plan was dropped after public outcry. The party's president, Luthfi Hasan Ishaaq, told Reuters the clips showed inappropriate material was too easily accessible. To protect a community, there must be control, we cannot have total freedom, said the Saudi Arabia-educated politician. To create comfort and overcome negative effects on communities who are not ready and not supposed to consume certain material, then controls are a very good idea. When asked if he would support limiting access to sites like YouTube or Facebook, Ishaaq said he would if it was in the national interest. He expected the anti-porn law, used to charge nightclub dancers this year, to be used more often in future. If letters to the editor are any judge, reactions from ordinary Indonesians to the country's first celebrity sex tape scandal have varied from voyeuristic interest to irritation. I think corruption is worse for society than a few sex videos, one scribe, Peter, wrote to the Jakarta Post. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[ppiindia] The Sovereign Debt Crisis and Islamic Banking
http://www.aawsat.com/english/news.asp?section=6id=21318 The Sovereign Debt Crisis and Islamic Banking 16/06/2010 By Lahem al-Nasser Riyadh, Asharq Al-Awsat- No sooner had the world begun to pick up the pieces in the wake of the US subprime mortgage crisis than another emerged, namely the sovereign debt crisis, which is something that I warned against in previous articles. I warned that the impact of this crisis on the economy and international stability would be greater than the previous crisis, since this crisis pertains to state debts, rather that individual or company debts. Until now the international financial system has yet to put in place laws to address state bankruptcy, despite the fact that this is something that has occurred on a number of occasions in the modern era. This is not the case with commercial debts, for there are laws which address civil institutions filing for bankruptcy and which reduce the effects of this. The sovereign debt crisis also represents such a threat because these debts are not just related to one country, but rather there are a number of countries who are expected to be unable to honor their financial commitments. This is something that will not stop with Greece, and international credit rating agencies have also downgraded Portugal's credit rating by two levels, and Spain's by one. What compounds the issue and exacerbates the magnitude of the sovereign debt crisis and its impact on the global economy is that this is something which is present within the largest monetary union in the world, namely the Euro zone, especially since the Euro today is the second most utilized currency in international transactions after the US dollar. This means that the crisis will reflect negatively on countries in the European Union, the largest economic bloc in the world. Therefore the panic that is spreading across the international markets is justified, especially as stock markets and energy values have plummeted around the globe, which is something whose influence nobody can escape. To say that the Islamic banking industry will not be affected by this crisis is, in my point of view, a clear and glaring inaccuracy. The Islamic banking industry does not operate independently from international markets, and so it is not immune to international financial fluctuations. We witnessed how the US subprime mortgage crisis affected the [Islamic banking] industry and its institutes, and here we must distinguish between direct and indirect impact in order to ensure that we do not misread reports issued by credit rating agencies, such as the one which claims that Greece's financial crisis will not have any direct impact upon Islamic banking. This means that Islamic banking has no assets that are directly connected to the sovereign debt crisis since assets such as securities and other debt instruments that are prohibited under Islamic Shariaa law. However this report did not mention the indirect impact this crisis will have on Islamic banking, which is bound to be substantial due to the crisis's effect upon economic factors that are stimulating the Islamic financial industry. One of the key fields which is stimulating the Islamic banking industry's development and which will be immensely affected by the sovereign debt crisis is the oil industry. Oil prices are expected to fall due to fears of a fall in demand as a result of the sovereign debt crisis, and this would lead to the oil industry losing financial liquidity. Another key factor which the Islamic banking industry's development relies upon heavily is its investments in the stock market and real estate markets. These investments constitute the bulk of Islamic financial investment assets, and are particularly vulnerable to currency fluctuations due to the absence of effective financial hedging [in Islamic banking] which could limit this. Therefore now that the Islamic banking industry has developed and matured, it must carefully study such crises and find ways of countering their effects and avoiding them. In addition to this, the Islamic banking industry should exert effort to establish a central bank for Islamic banking; a bank that would pursue common objectives and interests of all Islamic banking institutions, such as examining the possibility of creating a financial hedging system to offset currency fluctuations by linking Islamic financial institutes' reserves to gold. This central bank would also regulate short-term investment, act to rescue failing Islamic financial institutes, and set up a common market for investment, which would lead to the establishment of joint criteria within the Islamic banking industry. This proposed central bank for the Islamic banking industry would also pursue any other common objectives that are of interest to all parties involved in this industry. Some might say that the things that I am calling for already exist within the parameters
[ppiindia] Growing Numbers of Thai Protesters Jailed
http://www.asiasentinel.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=2538Itemid=185 Growing Numbers of Thai Protesters Jailed Written by Our Correspondent Wednesday, 16 June 2010 The Bangkok elite show little sign they favor reconciliation As many as 435 Red Shirt protesters remain in Thai jails and prisons in the wake of the May 19 breaking of the two-month siege of Bangkok by police and soldiers, with more being added every day, according to a list supplied to opposition figures and released to the press Wednesday. A careful examination of the lists indicates that the authorities are predictably punishing the protesters while so far allegations of violence concerning government soldiers and royalists have been ignored. Considerable evidence exists indicating that soldiers and others deliberately targeted and killed not only protesters but members of the international press. Two foreign journalists were killed during the confrontations and seven foreign and domestic reporters were wounded, several of them seriously. As Asia Sentinel reported on May 19, if the results of three previous revolts in 1972, 1976 and 1992 are considered, the defeated can expect little comfort. Thailand has experienced three major violent political upheavals in the 35 or so years before the present crisis began. There was little leniency shown to demonstrators in any of the three following the upheavals, despite the fact that in all three cases the authorities shared as much responsibility for the violence, if not considerably more, as the protesters. Some 13 of the top leaders of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship - the Red Shirts - have been incarcerated at Narasuan Military Camp in Cha-Am, in Petchaburi Province, an unknown number charged with terrorism. Among them, according to local media, are Veera Musigkapong, Natthawut Saikua, Nisit Sinthuprai, Kwanchai Praiphana,Yosvarit chooklom or Jeng Dokjig, Weng Tochairakarn, Wiphuthalaeng Pattanaphuthai and Korkaew Pikulthong. So far, according to the Red Shirt sources, another 417 of the prisoners detained as a result of the pro-democracy protests have been charged under various clauses in the Emergency Decree. More than 100 were charged with arson, apparently stemming from the torching of buildings as the protesters were being driven out of the center of Bangkok. More than 25 were charged with possession of weapons or explosives. Other charges ranged from relatively minor ones like curfew violations to destruction of property to theft or possession of drugs. The protesters are being held in at least eight prisons from Ayudhaya to central Bangkok to Donburi. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on June 9 in a nationally publicized address introduced a five-point reconciliation program that he said seeks to address social and economic disparities. The plan also seeks to impose new controls on the news media, which largely hewed to a pro-government line throughout the two-month confrontation, during which 88 people died, most of them protesters although several soldiers were gunned down by mysterious men in black snipers believed to be connected to the Red Shirts, although nobody has been able to pin down just who they were. The embattled prime minister also said his plan would discuss constitutional reform and uphold the honor of the monarchy. Several commissions are to be appointed on June 17 to carry out the plan. As the three past episodes have shown, in which dozens of leaders were jailed for long periods, the red leadership at all levels should expect to be targeted for judicial punishment and extra-judicial disposal. Given the numbers of people who have been jailed and the growing numbers who are expected to be jailed, it appears that will be the case in this episode as well. The elites of Bangkok believe they have won the skirmish and appear unlikely to cede any power to the protesters. Although Abhisit had earlier agreed under pressure to hold national elections in November, there has been no indication since the protesters were driven out of Bangkok that elections - the Red Shirt protesters' main goal - will be held any time soon.

[ppiindia] Indonesia Draws Fresh Looks, But Old Problems Still Remain

(Antara Photo/Nila Fu'adi) Indonesia Draws Fresh Looks, But Old Problems Still Remain Foreign manufacturers are increasingly looking at setting up shop in Indonesia after sharp wage increases and labor unrest in China and political instability in Thailand. However, Indonesia's perennial bugbears - a lack of infrastructure, too much red tape and pervasive corruption - are putting the country at a disadvantage against rivals, experts say. LG Electronics and Caterpillar are among the companies considering manufacturing their goods in Indonesia, said Gita Wirjawan, chairman of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). Gita said the country offered competitive wages and an improving investment climate as well as an increasingly strong domestic market. Indonesia is still far from replacing China as a base for manufacturing, he said on Tuesday. But we still have the chance to increase our competitiveness as our economic condition improves. Clothing retailer Guess is also looking at building factories here, as well as in Vietnam and Cambodia, its chief financial officer, Dennis Secor, told Dow Jones Newswires this week. New Balance opened a factory in Jakarta in April and rival sportswear companies Reebok and Mizuno are reportedly looking at expanding their operations in Indonesia. Foremost among the factors limiting Indonesia's efforts to attract more foreign investment is the country's substandard infrastructure, said Eric Alexander Sugandi, an economist at Standard Chartered Bank Indonesia. Investors generally look at three things when weighing where to invest - infrastructure, wage levels and government bureaucracy, he said. Investors certainly look for sufficient infrastructure, because it will cost them more to build infrastructure by themselves. Eric said the main things holding back developing more infrastructure were problems with acquiring land, a lack of coordination between local and central governments and the corrupt bureaucracy. The government has revised regulations on infrastructure investment and it has also established guarantees for infrastructure investors. I hope this will provide a boost for development, he said. James Castle, founder of CastleAsia, a Jakarta-based business consultancy, said that any company considering leaving China would also look at Vietnam and India. Those two countries were currently offering better tax incentives and making more land available than Indonesia, he said. Castle said tax incentives were vital and they generally paid for themselves over the long term. Tax holidays are the easiest way to attract investment, and you don't really lose money. Shinta Widjaja Kamdani, the chairwoman for foreign investment at the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), acknowledged that the nation's infrastructure was woefully inadequate and, in particular, improving port facilities and logistics systems was vital. We are still far from being an international hub like Singapore, Shinta said. But she expressed confidence that Indonesia would become a major investment destination in the years ahead. Our labor force is of better quality than some other countries and some investors have said this. I hope the situation will improve and result in the transfer of more technology and skills to Indonesia. The nation's myriad and often conflicting regulations, legal uncertainty and corruption are also deterring investment. Transparency International ranked Indonesia the 111th out of 180 countries in its annual corruption index released in November. In recent weeks, the government has taken several steps to attract more foreign investment. It revised the Negative Investment List (DNI), easing restrictions on foreign investment in sectors such as construction, health care and electricity generation. It also is considering granting a tax holiday to some foreign and local investors. According to Eric, India is Indonesia's biggest rival in attracting investment. The two countries both have massive populations, which result in an oversupply of labor keeping wages down, he said. Foreign investors were attracted to countries with higher gross domestic product per capita because that translated to stronger buying power among locals, Eric said. Indonesia needs to shift workers from the agricultural sector to manufacturing to boost its GDP, he added. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[ppiindia] Death strikes a blow to Aceh unity
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/LF11Ae02.html Jun 11, 2010 Death strikes a blow to Aceh unity By Fabio Scarpello DENPASAR - The death of Teungku Hasan Muhammad di Tiro, the founder of the former pro-independence Free Aceh Movement (GAM), could intensify existing divisions in Indonesia's historically restive Aceh region and complicate ongoing discussions with Jakarta concerning the implementation of a 2005 peace agreement signed in Helsinki. The 85-year-old Hasan di Tiro died of natural causes in Banda Aceh on June 3. Hendra Fadli, coordinator of human-rights group Kontras-Aceh, says Hasan di Tiro's charisma worked as a unifying factor that smoothed over some of the different interests present in Aceh. Fuad Mardhatillah, an analyst at the Aceh Institute, added that latent conflicts are widespread in Aceh, but yet to emerge and that di Tiro's death means that there is one less unifying figure that may keep the various players at bay. As a secessionist rebel leader di Tiro was Jakarta's number one enemy for decades, but he died as an Indonesian citizen after his request to regain his citizenship was granted by Jakarta - the official documentation was delivered to him on June 2, the day before he died. He fled to Sweden in March 1979 as the Indonesian Army closed in on him after he declared Aceh an independent state in 1976. As a political asylum seeker, he became a Swedish citizen in 1984. Throughout GAM's armed struggle, he maintained remote political control of the movement, relinquishing it only in his latter years as his health deteriorated. He was also respected by many Acehnese who did not subscribe to GAM's political objectives. This was evident when he was able to return to Aceh to a hero's welcome in October 2008 on the invitation of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. On that occasion, di Tiro was unofficially hailed as Aceh's Wali Nanggroe, which loosely translates to guardian of the state. Elusive equilibrium Despite a transition to democratic governance and a large measure of local autonomy, Aceh is still in search of a post-conflict equilibrium. Analysts say fault lines still exist on at least three different levels. Aceh is the only province in Indonesia that has been allowed to implement the Islamic code of sharia. But this implementation has taken on political overtones, with the religious establishment maneuvering to work as a counterweight to local government authorities. On the streets, local police have had their authority challenged by sharia police, while in the provincial legislature sharia-inspired laws have pitted Islamic-oriented lawmakers against secular representatives. For example, current governor Yusuf Irwandi, himself a former GAM member, refused to endorse a law that allowed for the stoning to death of adulterers. The regulation was nonetheless passed into law without Irwandi's signature in October 2008. Tensions also exist between former GAM members that have entered mainstream politics since the conflict ended. The well-documented rift between the reformist wing, led by Irwandi, and the conservative wing, led by Malik Mahud, is alive and well. It stemmed from Irwandi's decision to run for governor as an independent candidate in 2006, defying Malik's endorsement of Humam Hamid. Malik was prime minister of GAM's government-in-exile and a signatory to the Helsinki peace accord. Malik is now viewed as firmly in control of Partai Aceh (PA), the party that was established in mid-2007 to bring former GAM members under one political umbrella. Although the two factions managed to work together during the 2009 local elections, when Irwandi endorsed the PA, deeply entrenched differences in outlook remain. Further tension has resulted from the unequal division of the peace dividend. On one hand there are the mid- to high-ranking former rebels associated with the network of patronage established after the 2006 and 2009 elections. In 2006, ten of the 23 district chiefs elected in the local polls were from GAM's ranks. In the April 2009 election, the PA won 33 of the 69 seats in Aceh's legislature, plus a majority of seats in seven of Aceh's district councils. On the other hand are some former GAM foot soldiers that have remained on the periphery of the new power structure and have struggled to make a living. This group is alleged to be behind the spike in petty crime that was so evident in Aceh between mid-2007 and September 2009. In between the two blocs is the Aceh Transition Committee (KPA), a civil organization established shortly after the 2005 peace accord to represent former combatants of GAM's military wing. According to some sources, KPA has grown into an almost parallel power structure in some areas of the province. Legal maneuvers While divisions have grown among ex-GAM cadre, simultaneously the relationship between Aceh and Jakarta has also become fraught, specifically over the

[ppiindia] Morals of nationalism
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2010\06\16\story_16-6-2010_pg3_6 Wednesday, June 16, 2010 VIEW: Morals of nationalism -Muhammad Aftab Afzal The first casualty of disregard to nation-building goals was the evaporation of popular sentiments of pre-partition Muslim nationalism in the eastern wing of the united Pakistan when the road signs were changed into Urdu overnight in Dhaka in 1950 Does anyone know the differences between nationalism and ultra-nationalism in practical terms and how Muslims can be defined and placed in a particular set of things - a nation by state or a nation by community? And more precisely, what would be the status of non-Muslim communities living in Pakistan who are as much loyal to this land and the people as are their Muslim similitude? The dilemma is not that we lacked the ability to reach a consensus on certain issues and devise a future course of action for the new state at the time of Pakistan's inception, but we lacked discipline and integrity to implement the vision of Quaid-i-Azam in the years after his death. The Quaid wanted to see his creation as one country and one people, despite the fact that the two wings of the state were geographically separated by 1,000 km and the nation consisted of a diversity of people from different religious, cultural, ethnic and racial backgrounds. A trail of leaders who held the highest offices of the state after him believed that the spirit of Islamic brotherhood, which prevailed during the independence struggle, would remain intact by default. They chose to ignore their failure at nation building, which accentuated religious, ethnic and cultural differences. The first casualty of disregard to nation-building goals was the evaporation of popular sentiments of pre-partition Muslim nationalism in the eastern wing of the united Pakistan when the road signs were changed into Urdu overnight in Dhaka in 1950. The whims of the rulers were unnerving and unacceptable for the people and proved to be catastrophic for the state. It not only changed the chemistry of national politics, but also the course of history in East Pakistan. The move was taken as an unequivocal message from the super-patriots of the western wing to the Bengali populace that they had to learn Urdu without any other choice, and that this was the only parameter to check their patriotism in a specified term of reference. The result was the birth of an independent Bangladesh after less than three decades of independence, while Islam had been nowhere in sight as a binding force in the whole state of affairs. Pakistan faced more challenges and fewer opportunities avowedly in the early years of independence. The foremost area of concern for the leaders at the helm was to frame the shape of state organs. The Quaid's death came as a major blow to the nascent nation, but the friction between the second and third tier of the Muslim League leadership also contributed to the destruction of the nerve plexus of the state and the nation. And what they had sowed, we are still reaping. Then military intervention came in as our saviour, but the political vacuum became amplified, only to be filled by politico-religious elements. The soft and moderate image of Islam introduced by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto at the time, met with tough resistance from rabble-rousing religious elements, who were backed by the propertied classes, whose interests were severely damaged by his socialisation policies. They were not ready to compromise on anything less than his death for this unpardonable crime. The rest is history. The conflict continues between those wanting to make Pakistan a theological state and those looking to make it a liberal state. The question remains: are we Muslims or Pakistanis by definition based on the modern nationalist concept? Going by the rule of thumb, a person is acceptable as a member of his clan besides being a member of a family, and a house on a street is part of the locality, and, in a broader sense, of the city and the country. What is the harm if a person is a Muslim and a Pakistani at the same time? I do not think it will violate any code of Islamic jurisprudence if a non-Muslim is placed in the same matrix. What if religion is placed in its right place and confined to our hearts and minds only? But the problem is more complicated than it appears. A majority of people in this nation think they are right and all others are wrong. They want others to be good Muslims without applying the same principles to their own personal affairs. We are ever ready to challenge the qualifications of other Muslims without making even the slightest effort to mend our own ways to conform to Islamic principles. We accept the sanctity of Islam as far as it serves our purpose, but sneak out when it comes hard on our interests. We never shy from dividing the
[ppiindia] 56 countries join US-backed declaration on Iran rights
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2010\06\16\story_16-6-2010_pg7_5 56 countries join US-backed declaration on Iran rights GENEVA: Some 56 countries on Tuesday signed up to a US-inspired declaration calling on Iran to investigate a deadly crackdown on street protests following the contested presidential election a year ago. The statement sparked controversy for a few hours at the UN Human Rights Council, as Iran stopped Norwegian Ambassador Bente Angell-Hansen reading it out. Other countries including Pakistan, China and Cuba raised objections until a compromise was found. The statement released by Western countries said, We cannot let this Human Rights Council session go by without marking the one year anniversary of these events this month. The 56 countries that signed the joint statement came from Europe, North and South America and parts of the Asia-Pacific region, including 16 of the 47 members of the UN rights council. The states that have joined in making this statement wish to express their concern at the lack of progress in the protection of human rights in Iran, particularly since the events surrounding the elections in Iran last June. the violent suppression of dissent, detention and executions without due process of law, severe discrimination against women and minorities... and restrictions on freedom of expression and religion, it highlighted. The statement called on Iran to live up to its international commitments and to conduct an independent investigation regarding killings, arrests and detentions following the demonstrations following the 2009 elections. After losing to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the June 12, 2009 election, opposition leaders dismissed the result as having been rigged, sparking street protests in the Islamic republic in the following months. Security forces cracked down heavily on dissent, with deadly violence and mass arrests, while prominent reformists, journalists and rights campaigners were put on trial - with many receiving stiff jail sentences. afp [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[ppiindia] Ahmadinejad under fire from hardliners
http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2item_no=368662version=1template_id=37parent_id=17 Ahmadinejad under fire from hardliners Publish Date: Thursday,17 June, 2010, at 12:50 PM Doha Time AFP/Tehran Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came under fire from other hardliners yesterday for opposing a social crackdown targeting dress and behaviour, mainly of women. In a televised interview at the weekend, Ahmadinejad said that he was strongly against such actions. It is impossible for such actions to be successful. A senior hardline cleric responded by accusing Ahmadinejad of undermining efforts to fight corruption. The president in his interview did not appreciate the sacred wave which advocates veiling and chastity and he belittled it, Ahmed Khatami said in comments carried by the moderate Shargh newspaper yesterday. The head of parliament's clerical faction, Mohamed Taghi Rahbar, also interpreted Ahmadinejad's comments as a green light to immodest dressing. Those who voted for you were the fully veiled people. The badly veiled 'greens' did not vote for you, so you'd better consider what pleases God is not pleasing a number of corrupt people, Shargh quoted Rahbar as saying. The Green Movement of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi won over Iran's urban youth by pledging more social freedom in last year's election. Iran's morality police have returned to the streets in recent weeks, confiscating cars whose male drivers are seen to be harassing women, local media have said, without clarifying what amounts to harassment. The reports say the crackdown has become a major issue for Iran's predominantly young population, with police or hardline militiamen stopping cars with young men or women inside to question their relationship. They say the Islamic dress code for women is also being more strictly enforced. But leading conservative lawmaker Ali Motahari noted Ahmadinejad's interior ministry declared its preparedness for this initiative... and the president undermines his own work by such comments, Shargh reported. If the president insists on his stance, the parliament will s surely respond, warned Motahari, who is a vocal critic of Ahmadinejad [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[ppiindia] Hamas TV forced to halt broadcasts to Europe
http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=MTI3NjYxMzYzMg== Hamas TV forced to halt broadcasts to Europe Published Date: June 16, 2010 GAZA CITY: A France-based satellite provider is halting broadcasts of the Hamas TV channel to Europe and parts of the Arab world because of concerns that it spreads incitement, a station official said yesterday. The decision will deprive Gaza-based Al-Aqsa TV of most of its viewers, said the channel's head, Hazem Sharawy. The Hamas station , best known for its children's programs glorifying violence against Israel , is the centerpiece of a growing media operation of Gaza's Islamic militant Hamas rulers. Losing the satellite provider will hamper the group's attempts to spread its message and raise funds abroad. The decision to cut off the Hamas station came six years after a similar move by France and the US against al-Manar, the channel of Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah. In Paris, Eutelsat spokeswoman Vanessa O'Connor said that last week the French broadcasting regulator CSA ordered it to stop beaming the Hamas channel into Europe by June 26. Al-Aqsa TV is part of a package of channels transmitted by Bahrain-based satellite operator Noorsat, which passes them in a single signal to Eutelsat, O'Connor said. Eutelsat has passed on the CSA's order to stop transmitting al-Aqsa TV to Noorsat. O'Connor said it was up to Noorsat to block the al-Aqsa TV signal. She would not comment on what would happen if Noorsat doesn't comply with the CSA order by the June 26 deadline. Sharawy said Noorsat called late Monday, telling Al-Aqsa TV that its programs incite to hatred. The al-Aqsa chief alleged that the decision was politically motivated and meant to silence criticism of Israel. The enemy (Israel) can kill us, destr oy our lands and blockade us. But we aren't allowed to expose them, Sharawy charged. The Hamas channel immediately flipped into campaign mode Monday. The top left hand corner of the channel showed a countdown and read time remaining for broadcast. The satellite broadcasts, which reach Europe, North Africa and parts of the Gulf, are expected to be halted Thursday, Sharawy said. The channel is not beamed to the US Al-Aqsa's second satellite provider only reaches viewers in the Middle East, he said. Viewers can also still watch the station on the Internet. Sharawy said he did not know how many viewers the station had, but that viewer phone calls and text messages indicate the bulk are from outside Gaza. He said the station's coverage during Israel's three-week war with Hamas in Gaza that ended in January 2009 dramatically boosted al-Aqsa TV's popularity. During the war, the station's building was bombed and employees broadcast from a secret location. In the past, Israel and others have repeatedly accused al-Aqsa TV of inciting against Israel, especially in children's programs. One of its most criticized programs, Tomorrow's Pioneers, once featured a high-pitched Mickey Mouse rip-off called Farfour who encouraged children to fight against the occupiers of Muslim countries, while taking calls from kids who were praised for singing about fighting Israel. After a wave of criticism, the station killed off Farfour with mock-Israeli soldiers beating him to death. But it has not toned down the message of its children's programs. The station is popular with conservative Muslims in Gaza for its Islamic-based programming. Women wear headscarves and sometimes face veils on morning talk shows. Music videos show girls modestly dressed in headscarves singing, as well as gunslinging militants fighting Israel and chanting for revenge. The channel's lengthy interview programs provide the Hamas viewpoint to the world. Hamas sees media outreach as a vital part of the movement's success. It has another television channel that broadcasts from Lebanon, several affiliated Web sites, a radio station, a glossy magazine for its military wing and two newspapers printed in Gaza. The militant group has also produced a movie glorifying one their militants and created animations boasting about their capture of an Israeli soldier held for the last four years in Gaza. Six years ago, Hezbollah's Al-Manar television was also limited. At the time, France's highest administrative body banned satellite broadcasts by the Lebanese television station. Later, the US State Department placed the Hezbollah station on its list of terror organizations for broadcasting incitement.-AP [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[ppiindia] Gus Mus: Banjet dan Dagang Sapi
Banjet dan Dagang Sapi Oleh: Dr. KH. A. Mustofa Bisri Datanglah sesekali ke pasar ternak, di tempat orang berdagang sapi! Anda tidak hanya akan ketemu penjual dan orang-orang yang akan membeli sapi. Anda, insya Allah, akan ketemu juga dengan jenis manusia yang tampak lebih sibuk dari penjual maupun pembeli/calon pembeli sapi itu sendiri. Jenis manusia itu, di tempat saya disebut banjet. Di samping kepintaran menjalin hubungan dengan para pedagang atau pemilik sapi karena pekerjaan pembanjetan memerlukan adanya naluri kkn dan kongkalikong antara si banjet dan si penjual sapi seorang banjet hanya bermodal mulut dan sedikit keahlian berakting atau katakanlah sedikit kelicikan, terutama dalam teknik tawar-menawar semu. Dengan bahasa yang lebih canggih, seorang banjet mesti bisa membuat manuver atau melemparkan move-move untuk menggoyang pasar. Tujuan dan kepentingan pedagang sapi tentu saja agar sapinya terjual dengan sebesar-besar keuntungan. Sedangkan tugas banjet adalah membantu memuluskan keberhasilan si pedagang memenuhi kepentingannya itu, dengan keuntungan memperoleh komisi. Kerja sama yang bagus antara si pedagang dan banjet-nya merupakan faktor penting bagi kesuksesan tujuan tersebut. Para peminat atau calon pembeli sapi atau bahkan yang sekedar melihat-lihat yang awam, jika tidak langsung termakan manuver banjet, paling tidak akan tergoda atau bingung. Sapi kurus yang nilainya tidak sampai satu juta rupiah, misalnya, mungkin ditawarkan si pedagang sampai 5 juta dan si banjet akan berpura-pura menawar antara 3-4 juta. Bahkan jika si pedagang dan banjet-nya lihai atau peminatnya bloon, kambing congek pun bisa terjual semahal sapi. Jika Anda mengira saya dengan bicara seperti di atas sedang ancang-ancang untuk bicara tentang politik, maka Anda tidak terlalu salah. Atau mungkin malah benar. Saat ini seperti lazimnya menjelang pemilu, bahkan melebihi biasanya semenjak reformasi dicanangkan kehidupan perpolitikan kita semakin gegap gempita. Hampir tak ada sisi kehidupan yang tak meruapkan bau politik. Bau itu tercium mulai dari pemilihan ketua dalam konferensi organisasi tingkat anak cabang, pilihan bupati, pilihan gubernur, hingga hiruk-pikuk menjelang pilihan presiden. Berpolitik tidak lagi menjadi monopoli para politisi dan anggota-anggota dewan. Hampir semua orang mulai dari pengurus organisasi sosial, pengurus organisasi keagamaan, pengurus MUI, pengurus persatuan artis, tentara, hakim, insan pers, guru, tokoh agama, pengusaha, bandar judi, anggota gang, hingga tukang ojek, sudah ikut keranjingan berpolitik atau minimal bicara politik. Politik bagaikan makhluk halus; bisa dirasakan dan mempengaruhi, meski tak jelas tongkrongannya. Karena banyak orang yang memahami politik hanya sebagai siasat, maka pedagang sapi dan banjet pun boleh merasa sudah mempunyai modal untuk terjun di bidang politik. Apalagi praktek-praktek politik yang dipamerkan banyak pemimpin politik justru lebih mengambil referensi dari perdagangan sapi dan per-banjet-annya. Bahkan siapa tahu mereka memang hanya dididik di pasar ternak. Lebih ramai lagi, karena umumnya politisi atau yang bermain politik di negeri ini, baru dalam taraf belajar mensiasati kawan-kawan sendiri. Dalil untuk men-sahkan hal ini, ialah dalil 'politik' yang mutawatir dan agaknya muttafaq 'alaih, yaitu: tak ada kawan abadi dalam politik. Seperti pedagang sapi, kepentingan 'orang-orang politik' itu ialah mendapatkan keuntungan, kalau bisa sebesar-besarnya. Seperti pedagang sapi, 'politikus' juga punya banjet dan makelar yang nunut untung untuk dirinya sendiri. Meski tak bermodal kecuali mulut, banjet dan makelar yang lihai, bisa mendapatkan keuntungan yang lebih besar daripada si pedagangnya sendiri. Banjet-banjet dan makelar-makelar yang lihai bisa 'bermain' dengan dan terhadap si calon pembeli sekaligus dengan dan terhadap rekannya sendiri, sang pedagang. Seandainya nasib tidak berpihak kepada mereka sekalipun, mereka tidak rugi apa-apa. Paling-paling lelah sedikit dan itu sudah menjadi resiko mereka yang berjuang untuk mencapai sesuatu. Dan besar-kecilnya 'sesuatu' ini menentukan besar-kecilnya orang apakah ia pedagang sapi, banjet, makelar, atau politisi. KH. Dr. A. Mustofa Bisri, Pengajar di Pondok Pesantren Taman Pelajar Raudlatut Thalibin, Rembang, Jawa Tengah. -- ...menyembah yang maha esa, menghormati yang lebih tua, menyayangi yang lebih muda, mengasihi sesama...

[ppiindia] KENAIKAN TARIF LISTRIK MEMBERATKAN RAKYAT
TDL Naik karena listrik dikomersialisasikan agar INVESTOR ASING mau masuk membangun tenaga listrik. Investor asing, mau dapat untung yang besar hingga tarif listrik harus naik. Harusnya pemerintah dgn pajak dan iuran listrik bisa membangun pembangkit listrik seperti dulu. Kenaikan TDL lebih untuk kepentingan Investor Asing. Bukan rakyat. Kenaikan tarif listrik akan semakin memberatkan rakyat karena harga2 barang ikut naik. Bisa jadi banyak pabrik tutup karena beban operasional terus meningkat dan pengangguran bertambah. Penerimaan pajak pemerintah pun akhirnya berkurang kecuali jika pemerintah ingin memerah sampai ke tulang... Harusnya gas yang murah jangan diekspor ke luar negeri sebaliknya dipakai untuk mengganti BBM yang mahal untuk listrik. === Belajar Islam sesuai Al Qur'an dan Hadits http://media-islam.or.id Milis Ekonomi Nasional: ekonomi-nasional-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Belajar Islam via SMS: http://media-islam.or.id/2008/01/14/dakwah-syiar-islam-lewat-sms-mobile-phone
[ppiindia] Pengusaha Sukses
Pengusaha Sukses By: agussyafii Di Jakarta ada seorang pengusaha sukses justru ditengah gelombang krisis moneter terjadi. Namun ditengah kesuksesannya beliau dikenal juga sebagai seorang pengusaha yang peduli dengan kesejahteraan karyawan maupun orang-orang dilingkungan beliau tinggal. Berita itu menjadi istimewa ditengah masyarakat. Sampai pada suatu hari ada seorang reporter TV berhasil mewawancarai beliau. 'Kapan bapak mulai merasa sangat sukes dibidang usaha?' tanya reporter TV 'Ketika saya ingin beramal,' jawab sang pengusaha. 'Kapan bapak merasa ingin beramal?' tanya kembali reporter TV. 'Kapan saja, disaat saya merasa sangat kaya.' jawab pengusaha itu dengan tersenyum. Pesan kisah diatas, bahwa makna kesuksesan adalah ketika kita mampu menciptakan kehidupan yang kita memiliki menjadi bermakna sehingga disaat kita tua nanti, kita bisa mengingatnya ada sebuah kebahagiaan dalam hidup kita karena apa yang pernah kita lakukan. Memberi adalah sumber kebahagiaan, ketika kita mampu memberi membuat kita merasa sangat kaya dan sangat bahagia dalam hidup kita.
