PUBLIC TRANSPORT

PUBLIC TRANSPORT


Jakarta is known for jams, it is because many private vehicles are chosen as a means of transportation. To streamline the system of restrictions on private vehicles, improvements must be made to increase the number of public transport as an alternate means of transportation.

For two-wheel vehicles have already achieved 12 percent growth each year, and four-wheeled vehicle was approaching pertambahannya lift 4 million per year. But of the total vehicles that have only 5 percent of public transport in Jakarta. Though public transport load is high enough that the figure reached 55 percent.

It turns out dilapidation transportation in Jakarta is still aggravated by unpleasant bobroknya of like speeding and drivers who violate traffic with reason to pursue payment. Perhaps also the depravity of the drivers also bobroknya followed by the relevant agencies in this case the department of Transportation that maybe they're smart and clever in finding a pretext in their becusan instability in addressing transportation problems in Jakarta.
Trans Jakarta bus (Bus Way) that should have an advanced transport solution in jakrta still can not properly exploited by Jakarta residents. Or maybe not one lazy people who ride the bus but it was way in the management of this busway itself is still a lot kekuranganya. This can be seen from the corridor that he said would be in fact still not operasionalkan all busway corridors in operation. this causes people jakarta still choose public transportation as a means of transportation for them.
To overcome the problem of poor transportation in Jakarta is indeed required the attention of many parties. Especially in this case is the Department of Transportation. because they had full authority related Naturalife Greenworld this problem.

Indonesian Meat Balls Can Indonesia Get Patent on 'Bakso'?

Senin, 8 Maret 2010 | 11:49 WIB

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Department of Culture and Tourism advised the Indonesian Noodles and Meatballs Merchant Association (Apmiso) to trace the history of 'bakso' (meatball, usually served with broth) before claiming it as a unique Indonesian cuisine.

"We've ask for its history (of bakso) to be traced first before claiming it as a traditional Indonesian cuisine," said the director general for tourism destination development of the Department of Culture and Tourism, Firmansyah Rahim, Jakarta, Monday.

The statement was addressed for Apmiso, in regards to its plan to claim bakso as an Indonesian cuisine and to go international with the idea.

Apmiso has been lobbying so that bakso can be served to the US President Barack Obama during his visit to Indonesia in March. With that maneuver, bakso can be branded as an international menu, like the Vietnamese noodles, Pho Ga, that has gone international since it was served to Bill Clinton during his visit to Vietnam.

"Please be careful, because to our knowledge, bakso isn't originally Indonesian," said Firmansyah.

He stated that the Indonesian menu should be made of ingredients easily found in the country. Bakso on the contrary is served with noodles, which are made of grain. Grain so far is wholly imported in Indonesia.

"We're worried that we might be accused of stealing another country's menu."

Despite that, the ministry supports the effort to raise the income and welfare of the five million noodles and bakso merchants all over Indonesia who are members of Apmiso.

A quick search on the internet would reveal that the word bakso is derived from Chinese, 'bak' meaning pork and 'so' for noodles or soup/broth. This dish is known world wide with various names and serving methods. (Hertanto/Antara/C17-09)

The 2010 State Budget Amendment Boycotted Due to Sri Mulyani?

The 2010 State Budget Amendment Boycotted Due to Sri Mulyani?
Rabu, 10 Maret 2010 | 04:42 WIB


Indonesias Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati (R) chats with Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Hatta Rajasa at palace in Jakarta. Indonesias president on Thursday called for calm as he battled to save his fragile coalition following parliaments call for a criminal probe into a controversial bank bailout.
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — There is a growing concern that the discussions on the 2010 State Budget Amendment might not run smoothly if the presence of the Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati is boycotted due to her implications in the Century case. Chief of budgeting bureau, Harry Azhar Aziz, stated that the boycott will be done if there is a formal decision from the House plenary.

"If it's a decision from the plenary, then the meetings with the finance minister are threatened," Harry said to Kompas.com, Jakarta, Tuesday.

Harry admits that the boycott plan is spreading among members of the House. At the budgeting bureau the plan has been mentioned informally during meetings. "One or two spoke about it. But now more and more are talking about it."

If the issue escalates, then Harry believes it will be discussed during the plenary on April 5, 2010. If the plenary agrees on boycotting then the discussion on the 2010 State Budget Amendment scheduled for April 9, 2010, could be off. "But this is all hypothetical. But it's possible that the boycott plan will come up at the plenary on April 5 after the House has had recess."

Harry pointed out that despite the boycott possibility, the 2010 State Budget Amendment can still be saved if the president appoints a deputy finance minister. Then the deputy minister can discuss the amendment with the House.
"That's just if the president appoints a deputy finance minister. Then we don't necessarily have to deal with the finance minister." (ANI/C17-09)

Since 1967 World Bank Finances USD 25 Billion Projects in Indonesia

Since 1967
World Bank Finances USD 25 Billion Projects in Indonesia
Kamis, 18 Februari 2010 | 08:28 WIB

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The World Bank has since 1967 financed 280 development programs worth more than US$25 billion in Indonesia, a Finance Ministry official said. The World Bank had played a great role in supporting the development of infrastructure projects in Indonesia to spur economic growth and reduce poverty and unemployment, Secretary General of the Finance Ministry Mulia Nasution said at a workshop here on Wednesday.

In the first 20 years the World Bank loans were mostly used to finance the development of infrastructure facilities in the energy, industrial and agricultural sectors, he said. "But since the 1998 financial crisis there has been a change in the pattern of World Bank loans for Indonesia with only US$460 million in loans channeled annually," he said.

Since then, the government had used the World Bank loans to finance the health, educational, environmental, social development sectors, he said.
Besides the program loans, the world body also granted more than US$1 billion to finance post-tsunami reconstruction projects in Aceh and Nias, he said.

The grants were divided into 133 trust funds with the largest funds reaching US$650 million, he said. "The largest grant the World Bank has ever extended to Indonesia came in the form of multi donor fund for reconstruction of Aceh and Nias," he said.

Australia Denies Execution Plea to Indonesia

Australia Denies Execution Plea to Indonesia
Kamis, 18 Februari 2010 | 12:49 WIB

Sumber: KOMPAS.COM
CANBERRA, KOMPAS.com - Australia’s government on Thursday denied asking Indonesia to avoid executing three Australian drug smugglers this year out of concern it would harm Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s re-election fight. As Australians Scott Rush, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran prepare final appeals against execution by firing squad, an Australian newspaper said senior diplomats met the Indonesian attorney-general’s office for talks on the trio.

“We would never tie the circumstances of people facing potentially death row or of consular cases or of people in trouble, we would never tie that to the election cycle,” Acting Foreign Minister Simon Crean told Australian radio.
The three Australians are members of a group known as the Bali Nine, arrested in April 2005 in Bali with 8.3 kg (18 lb) of heroin strapped to their bodies, worth $3.5 million. Rush and ringleaders Chan and Sukumaran were sentenced to death in 2006.

Since their arrests, successive Australian governments have been trying to ensure the death penalty is not carried out, including Rudd, favoured to win a second term in elections later this year despite slipping polls. Rudd has promised to raise the sentences with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono when court processes are concluded and if the death penalties still stand.

That could come as soon as next month with Yudhoyono to visit Australia from March 9 to 11 to discuss security, economic, development and environmental challenges, while also addressing Australia’s parliament. Any approach for clemency would be a sensitive issue for both countries, with some Indonesian lawmakers and local media likely to see any approach by Rudd to Yudhoyono as interference.

Didiek Darmanto, a spokesman for Indonesia’s attorney-general, told the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper that while no direct request had been made to avoid 2010 executions, Jakarta embassy officials had indirectly raised the issue. “They told us that it was a sensitive political issue ahead of the election,” Darmanto said, according to the paper.

Crean said Canberra was not resorting to closed-door “soft" diplomacy for the Bali Nine because it would be embarrassing for Rudd, a former diplomat, to have a confrontation with Indonesia in the build up to an election.

“We have to deal with all sorts of embarrassments through political cycles. But to make the suggestion that we’re saying ’don’t do anything to these people till after the election is over’ is just plain wrong,” Crean said.

If final appeals by the three, known in Indonesia as judicial reviews, are rejected, the only avenue remaining is a direct plea for clemency to Yudhoyono.

Chip Debit Card to be on Trial

Chip Debit Card to be on Trial
Kamis, 18 Februari 2010 | 13:38 WIB

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — Three national banks, BCA, Permata Bank, and Mandiri Bank, are doing test runs in the first half of 2010 to see if the old magnetic cards can be replaced with the chip technology.

Chief of the accounting and payment system bureau of Bank Indonesia, Aribowo, confirms this test runs, Wednesday, Jakarta. "The three banks volunteered to do the test run phase."

In the second semester, the three banks will do implementation. The debit card with chip technology is expected to cut down the potential for fraud.

Another advantage is that the technology allows interconnection and interoperability, which means that the owner of a chip debit card can transact in all ATMs in Indonesia.

Aribowo stated that for the test run phase three banks are enough. This will help Bank Indonesia in monitoring. "Cocurrently, we will also call all debit card issuers to present the test run results. This might happen around the second week of March."

The conversion cost from magnetic cards to chip cards is estimated to be around Rp. 2 trillion. This cost covers the transition of the 40 million magnetic cards already issued so far, and also to upgrade 30,000 ATMs, and for the 80,000 electronic data capture.

Prior to this, the Bank Indonesia regulation No. 11/11/PBI/2009, regarding payment means by cards, has declared the obligation to use chip technology for any payment by card starting January 1, 2010. (HIN/C17-09)
