Subject: [pksmumb] (INFO) : Bantu Indonesia, Arab Saudi Galang Dana
Berita dari timteng.
Menurut detikcom ternyata bantuan dari barat banyak berupa hutang bukan
hibah.
Sampai saat ini belum ada dana bantuan yang masuk kas negara.

Bantu Indonesia, Arab Saudi Galang Dana Terbesar di Dunia - 07/01/2005,
15:41 WIB - KOMPAS Cyber Media - NASIONAL
Kampanye penggalangan dana terbesar di duniayang dilakukan Arab Saudi di
seluruh daerah atas instruksi Raja Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz, berlangsung Kamis
(6/1) hingga Jumat (7/1) dini hari waktu setempat yang juga melibatkan
sejumlah ulama dan disiarkan langsung stasiun TV setempat. "Kita lebih
berhak membantu saudara saudara kita di Indonesia tempat komunitas Muslim
terbesar di dunia. Jemaah haji terbesar juga datang dari Indonesia, dan
Indonesia yang paling parah menderita akibat tsunami," ujar seorang ulama,
Dr. Sheikh Abdullah.
Berdasarkan pemantauan hingga pukul 23.45 waktu setempat atau Jumat pagi
WIB, jumlah uang tunai yang terkumpul telah mencapai lebih dari 242 juta
riyal atau sekitar Rp 593 miliar. Jumlah tersebut dipastikan melonjak cepat
hingga Jumat dini hari. Sebagai contoh pada pukul 23.00 uang tunai yang
terkumpul sekitar 129 juta riyal, belum satu jam kemudian telah terkumpul
lebih dari 242 juta riyal.
Raja Fahd pribadi menyumbang 20 juta riyal, Putra Mahkota Pangeran Abdullah
menyumbang 10 juta riyal, dan Deputi II PM/Menhan Pangeran Sulthan
menyumbang sebesar 5 juta riyal. Sementara Pangeran Waleed Bin Talal yang
juga seorang pengusaha dan milyarder Saudi menyumbang senilai 70 juta
riyal, di antaranya 15 juta uang tunai, sejuta set pakaian dan 3 ribu tenda
senilai 55 juta riyal. "Kita ingin buktikan bahwa sangkaan media Barat umat
Islam enggan membantu saudaranya yang ditimpa musibah adalah tidak benar,
mari secepatnya kita ramai-ramai menyumbang dengan segala kemampuan yang
ada. Kita buktikan umat Islam adalah umat rahmah bagi sekalian manusia
tanpa pandang agama, ras dan bangsa," ujar Sheikh Abdullah.
Menurut dia, hamlah tabaaru'at (penggalangan dana kebajikan) juga sebagai
dakwah di lapangan bahwa Islam tidak sebagaimana yang dituding Barat. "Kita
buktikan di lapangan Islam bukan teroris seperti yang ditundingkan,"
katanya.
"Seandainya yayasan-yayasan kebajikan yang kita miliki tidak dalam keadaan
sulit (karena tudingan yayasan donor gerakan terorisme oleh Barat), mereka
sudah jauh lebih dahulu menuju tempat bencana dibandingkan Barat,"
tegasnya. "Apakah dengan pemandangan yang kita saksikan saat ini, kita
masih dituding teroris. Kita menggalang dana untuk para korban tanpa
pandang agama, ras dan bangsa. Inilah ajaran Islam yang cinta damai dan
kasih sayang sesama anak Adam," kata ulama lainnya.
Hingga menjelang larut malam, pusat-pusat penggalangan dana kebajikan di
seluruh propinsi di negeri kaya minyak Teluk itu nampak masih terus
didatangani banyak penyumbang, sementara para petugas terus mengihitung
jumlah uang tunai. Selain uang tunai, juga mobil, perhiasan, pakaian, bahan
makanan dan obat-obatan juga nampak menggunung di pusat-pusat pengumpulan
dana. Sebelumnya pemerintah Saudi juga telah menjanjikan bantuan dana 30
juta dollar.(Ant/Nik)

Subject: Re: FW: Wajah AS di Serambi Mekkah
Tidak bermaksud membela Amerika dan segala kepentingannya, saya kira tulisan
ini patut di jadikan renungan.
KUALA LUMPUR - AS A Muslim, I was ashamed to read that some of the biggest
donors in the tsunami crisis were governments and people who did not have
anything to prove, except their humanity.
Little Taiwan offered US$50 million (S$83 million), along with the US$356
million promised by the 25 European Union nations. Formula 1 ace Michael
Schumacher is personally donating US$10 million.
And some 800 prisoners at the Taiping jail in Perak are donating a total of
RM3,000 (about S$1,300), a princely sum for them because as prisoners, they
get paid only between 40 sen (17 cents) and 80 sen a day working seven-hour
shifts doing gardening to painting.
The United States, whom Islamic militants would call the 'Great Satan', has
promised US$350 million in aid.
This is along with its commitment of 13,000 troops and
14 ships, not to mention the thousands of private American citizens and
corporations who have donated or pledged further millions in aid of various
forms.
So I ask myself: Where are the rich Islamic countries, the giant Muslim
charity organisations, and the super-rich Arab individuals and companies in
all this?
Yes, I am sure that some have come forward. One admirable example is
London-based Muslim Aid, which is sending £1 million (S$3.1 million) to
tsunami-affected areas in Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India. It has
set up a field hospital in Aceh. California-based Islamic Relief USA has
sent a plane load of food and medicines to Aceh.
There are probably many more of these small Muslim organisations doing their
bit for the tsunami victims, unsung heroes toiling silently and valiantly.
But what of governments and billionaire sheikhs, especially those in the
Middle East?
The Saudi government has promised US$30 million; the United Arab Emirates
US$20 million, and Kuwait US$10 million. A further US$10 million has been
earmarked by the Saudi-based Islamic Development Bank. These are sums that
do not seem commensurate with the wealth of these oil-exporting countries.
Belatedly, the Saudis held a fund-raising event over television on Thursday,
but the impression had already been formed. The apparent lack of urgency
among Islamic nations in the Middle East and charity groups was the subject
of discussion among some Internet bloggers. Some cited the argument that
when a multilateral coalition went to the aid of Kuwait in 1991, it was as
much to protect Saudi oil fields as to free Kuwait from Iraq. So where were
the Saudis now?
Where, too, are the Schumachers of the Muslim world? A personal donation of
US$10 million is not too much for the array of sheikhs in the Gulf nations.
Now is the time for them to show that they are part of the world community.
Indeed, Kuwait's Al Qabas newspaper has accused national leaders of the Gulf
Arab states - particularly Kuwaitis - of failing to live up to their
obligations.
The paper said it appeared that the slow reaction was fed by the fact that
Asians were seen as menial employees of Kuwaitis, rather than as Islamic
siblings.
In Malaysia, a number of Muslim tycoons have stepped forward, either in
their individual capacities, or using their companies. Motoring mogul Tan
Sri Nasimuddin S.M. Amin donated RM1.95 million, while property tycoon Tan
Sri Mustapha Kamal gave RM1 million through his foundation. These are tiny
by international standards but huge by local barometers.
Let me make one thing clear: Muslim communities and mosques around the world
- including in Malaysia and Singapore - have been busy collecting goods and
money to help the victims. They joined similar drives in churches, temples
and among other religious groups.
They are shining examples in not differentiating Muslims in Indonesia from
those of other faiths in Thailand, Sri Lanka or India.
After all, natural disasters do not choose and pick their victims.
A much-respected local organisation, Malaysian Medical Relief Society - or
Mercy Malaysia - has sent teams of doctors and medical workers to Aceh and
Sri Lanka. Its president, obstetrician and gynaecologist Jemilah Mahmood,
and her group have been in such places as Afghanistan, Iraq, Sri Lanka and
after Iran's Bam quake.
So surely it is time that a rich Arab nation, organisation or sheikh,
stepped forward and said: 'In the name of Islam and jihad, we are donating
US$351 million' or some spectacular number.
While some praise the big involvement by the US, many Muslims - radical and
moderate - are wary of the moves by the 'Great Satan' in this disaster. As
seen from a news programme on private Malaysian TV station, TV3, on
Wednesday, some Muslims feel that the US is taking advantage of the
situation to promote its name.
It is well-known that the US wants to improve its international image,
especially in the Muslim world, in the wake of its badly-managed war on
terror.
As US Secretary of State Colin Powell said, its tsunami efforts could help
in healing ties with the Muslim world. It was an opportunity to demonstrate
'American generosity, American values in action', he said. He visited Aceh
to great fanfare on Wednesday.
Now if only a rich Arab nation or a billionaire Muslim would use the same
logic to show Islamic generosity and Islamic values in action.
