[proletar] Filem dari Iran " A separation"
Dilihat dari ketegangan dunia dengan masalah Iran, filem Iran dengan judul "A separation" berangkali filem ini sudah berfungsi sebagai diplomasi yang terbaik untuk mencerminkan bagaimana ke- hidupan rakyat Iran yang sebenarnya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwEgDPPATy0 Filem ini lolos dari sensor negaranya. Memang filem ini tidak ada konotasi sebagai propaganda ataupun memojokkan tentang ne- gara Iran itu sendiri. Filem ini hanya memperbincangkan soal kehidupan di Iran. Hal ini bisa disebut sebagai cerminan, cermin tentang satu bangsa yang menganut hukum Syariah. Di adopsi oleh masyarakat dan akibatnya ada dua type: yang satu modernis; mempunyai ke- hidupan yag cukup dan terdidik. Dan yang satu lagi, miskin, berpikiran kolot dan tidak terdidik. Karya artistik ini, A separation, telah menggondol hadiah Golden Bear di Berlin, bisa jadi akan meraih sebuah oscar di Amerika Serikat. Yang menjadi kendala pikiran, bagi kita-kita yang mengenal bagaimana kehidupan dan tabiat sebagai orang Iran, maksudnya dari segi kelakuan, kejujuran dan sebagai orang yang, sbg orang yang tidak haram jadah, dirasakan alangkah sayangnya jika negara ini dihantam hancur lebur oleh negara-negara sekutu. Jangan sampai seluruh negara menjadi korban dikarenakan oleh kelakuan Ahmadinejad dan beberapa tokoh ulama di Iran. Mudah- mudahan tidak terjadi.

[proletar] From Sumatra to Papua, in 2011 Rule By Law Again Trumped the Rule of Law
http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/opinion/from-sumatra-to-papua-in-2011-rule-by-law-again-trumped-the-rule-of-law/488104 >From Sumatra to Papua, in 2011 Rule By Law Again Trumped the Rule of Law Nurkholis Hidayat | December 31, 2011 'The law has become an instrument for the government to legitimize its actions.' The current state of Indonesian law prompts me to question once again whether the rulers (the investors, political oligarchy, the majority) are the law, or whether the law is the ruler. This question comes to the fore because a number of incidents and human rights cases in 2011 appear to show that the legal and political conditions in Indonesia have suffered a significant decline. To try to answer the question, I would first like to start with the defiance against the law that has taken place throughout the years — and that, ironically, has been one of the hallmarks of the government. Disobedience is usually thought of as a term used to describe citizens. While the motivation for defying the law may vary, it is often a conscious rejection of a legal system that has been deemed unfair or oppressive. In other words, it is a decision made by someone who has a critical legal consciousness and is not a result of ignorance of legal matters. In Indonesia, however, disobedience is often practiced by lawmakers and law enforcers themselves — the very people in the business of creating a society based on law and order. The mayor of Bogor refused to abide by the verdict of the Supreme Court in the case concerning the judicial review sought by the GKI Yasmin church. The president and the education minister both refused to respect the Supreme Court verdict that declared the National Examination as violating the right to education. The health minister, the Food and Drug Agency (BPOM) and the Bogor Institute of Agriculture all refused to comply with a Supreme Court verdict demanding that they announce the name of formula milk tainted by bacteria. This sort of defiance of the law is not a statement against injustice; it is an obstruction of justice. The supremacy of law is diminished, as is the trust people have in the legal system. The principles of a state of law are being held in contempt. Human rights have regressed in 2011, particularly in the areas of religious freedom, the right to organize, the right to housing and the right to a fair trial. At the start of the year, we were jolted by the Cikeusik tragedy in which intolerance, hatred and violence prevailed over logic as mobs killed members of the Ahmadiyah community. All year, Ahmadis in Indonesia have continued to face threats, attacks, violence, the closure of places of worship, damage to property and forced evictions. All this while the government, the House and the judicial institutions have failed to protect them or their constitutional rights. Other religious minorities face a similarly dangerous climate as groups preaching intolerance are free to spread their hatred through the media. In the labor sector, the dominant cases involved violation of the rights of workers and the freedom to organize. The Jakarta Legal Aid Foundation (LBH Jakarta) received reports of 12 cases of muzzling of labor unions. Labor union activists have been threatened with dismissals, suspension and transfer and their offices shut down. Workers at Carrefour, Asiatex, Perusahaan Listrik Negara, Dok dan Koja Bahari and Indofood Sukses Makmur were all hit by the criminalization of labor unions. Workers filed reports alleging criminal behavior by the entrepreneurs and labor supervisors they were fighting. The reports were pushed aside by police. This year has seen a rising number (24) of violations pertaining to fair trial. Arbitrary arrest and detention, torture and case manipulation are becoming a pattern. Violators include police, non-state actors such as intolerant groups and entrepreneurs, prosecutors, and the court system itself. Although the number of forced evictions decreased in 2011, there has been no fair settlement of disputes over urban spaces involving the poor. The government’s policy of taking inventory of its assets is implemented widely without consideration for state housing occupants, as guaranteed by law. A number of government ministries and state enterprises forcefully evicted occupants without providing an adequate or fair solution. Pawnshop operator Perum Pegadaian, train operator KAI, electricity provider PLN, a number of ministries such as home affairs and defense and the Indonesian Armed Forces were involved in forced evictions. Meanwhile, in Papua, arbitrary arrests, torture and killings continued unabated. The government and security personnel are muzzling the Papuan people by accusing anyone and everyone of plotting against the state. At least 29 people have been sentenced for political reasons, with sentences ranging from 11 months to life. Most were involved in the ra

Refl: Satu gambar lebih berharga dari 1000 kata, demikian ucapan klasik Tiongkok. Gambar pada artikel dibawah ini terlihat bangunan-bangunan tinggi yang sudah selasai maupun yang sedang dibangun. Gamar ini tidak lain tentang pembangunan di Jakarta bukan di daerah. Jadi tidak mencerminkan “boom" pembangunan di berbagai daerah dalam wilayah Indonesia. Mungkin saja beleid politik ekonomi yang diaplikasikan oleh pihak berkuasa ialah yang disebut “spil over economy”, yaitu jika tempat dikonsentrasi aktivitas ekonomi pada suatu wilayah dan bila wilayah ini telah benar-benar kaya akan tertumpah kelebihannya dan merambat ke berbagai wilayah dan kemakmuran pun bisa dicapai. Jadi kalau diterjemahkan ialah kalau Jakarta termasuk pulau Jawa sudah kaya raya maka kelebihan kekayaan akan memperkaya daerah-daerah. Bisakah demikian? Bagaimana komentar para pakar terhadap asumsi yang dikemukan? Silahkan dikoreksi bila keliru. http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/business/analysts-look-abroad-for-guide-to-local-growth/488392 Analysts Look Abroad for Guide To Local Growth Muhamad Al Azhari | January 01, 2012 Indonesia was last month upgraded to investment grade by Fitch Ratings, a move expected to boost investment. (Reuters Photo) Indonesia’s economy in 2012 will be affected by the movement of financial tides off-shore. But opinions differ on the extent of the foreign influence, which one analyst says could wipe nearly one-third off the size of the nation’s economic growth. The archipelago’s economy is driven by consumption, and Trimegah Securities, one of the largest brokerages in the country, proposed three scenarios for economic growth. In its best-case scenario, where Indonesia’s economy will face “negligible impact from recession in developed markets,” Trimegah forecast growth at 6-6.5 percent, with inflation at 6-6.5 percent. In its worst-case scenario, with Indonesia’s “economy deteriorating heavily as developed markets’ sovereign-debt crisis causes its banking system to stop working, hence influencing global demand,” Trimegah projected Indonesia’s economy to grow at 4.5-5.5 percent, driven mainly domestic consumption. Household spending accounts for around two-thirds of Indonesia’s economic activity. Inflation of 4-5 percent is anticipated under this scenario, the broker said. Lastly, in a so-called “base case” scenario, Trimegah said that Indonesia’s economy won’t be completely shielded from the impact of economies in developed nations. Under this the island nation’s growth is expected at 5.5-6 percent, with inflation at 5-6 percent, according to Trimegah. Still, UBS Investment Research said in a December report that the negative impact of the crisis in Europe is likely to be noticeable in the first quarter through weaker foreign-currency loans and lower income in commodity-producing regions. Demand for commodities will be down in Europe, and falling commodity prices will affect Indonesia’s economy, it said. “We expect the external environment for 2012 to be worse than in 2011,” UBS said in its report released before Indonesia had its sovereign debt raised by Fitch Ratings on Dec. 15 to investment grade, the first time in 14 years. Such concerns prompted UBS analysts to put a 5.5 percent growth forecast for Indonesia this year. Its 2012 forecast is lower than the 6.3 percent growth estimate by Bank Indonesia. It is also lower than the government’s forecast of 6.7 percent, as set in the 2012 budget. However, UBS sees economic growth accelerating in 2013 to 6.1 percent due to fiscal and monetary easing. Remaining optimistic, Suryo Bambang Sulistyo, chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), projects the economy expanding 7 percent this year with food, mining and energy sector becoming the backbone of growth. “It is very possible. We have enormous potential. I am optimistic that 7 percent growth is reachable,” he said on Friday.

[proletar] Tangan Pendek Pemerintah di Bidang Kesehatan
Ref: Tangan pendek di bidang kesehatan, tetapi tangan panjang di bidang keuangan adalah harga mati merdeka-merdeka selama lebih dari setengah abad. http://epaper.tempo.co/PUBLICATIONS/KT/KT/2012/01/02/index.shtml?ArtId=012_015&Search=Y Tangan Pendek Pemerintah di Bidang Kesehatan HANDRAWAN NADESUL, DOKTER, PENGASUH RUBRIK KESEHATAN, PENULIS BUKU, DAN MOTIVATOR KESEHATAN pembangunan kesehatan kita belum selesai. Kita melihat penyelesaian masalah kesehatan rakyat yang sudah kecukupan makan saja masih menggantung. Di kalangan rakyat yang belum tuntas melawan kemiskinan strukturalnya, apalagi. Belum tentu setiap kali sakit mereka mampu berobat. Kondisi mereka masih membuat miris. Ketika sehat, mereka menunggu sakit. Dan ketika sakit, mungkin tinggal menunggu ajal. Kebanyakan penyakit--kalau bukan semua--sebetulnya tak perlu terjadi kalau masyarakat diberi penyuluhan. Ketika anggaran kesehatan masih menjadi dalih beratnya membuat rakyat jadi sehat, upaya pencegahan penyakit sejatinya ada di barisan paling depan pembangunan kesehatan kita. Memberdayakan masyarakat Ambil contoh kasus diare. Masih tingginya angka diare menimbulkan dampak sosial yang luas. Selain pada tingkat keluarga, pada pencapaian target MDGs (millennium development goals), dan sudah barang tentu pada kualitas indeks manusia (human development index). Angka diare belum selesai ditekan dalam hitungan sekian dasawarsa. Kita tahu diare urusan sederhana. Tapi, kalau angkanya masih tak masuk akal, sementara pembangunan kesehatan berjalan sudah begitu lama, di mana letak salahnya? Solusi menekan angka diare pada beberapa kasus sesungguhnya adalah penyuluhan hidup bersih, tentang sanitasi, dan implementasi ketersediaan air bersih. Tengok rendahnya perilaku hidup bersih anak sekolah, higiene penjaja makanan, dan kebiasaan salah memilih minuman, yang merupakan penyebab tak terpisahkan masih tingginya angka diare kita. Ongkos penyuluhan tak lebih tinggi dibanding apabila pemerintah harus memikul ongkos berobat diare, selain dampak buruknya terhadap kesehatan keluarga serta tingginya kematian anak. Paling sedikit sepuluh penyakit mengintai bila kebiasaan mencuci tangan masyarakat tidak terbentuk. Ini juga urusan penyuluhan. Kemunculan kanker banyak disebabkan masyarakat salah mengkonsumsi. Kelebihan makan daging sama buruknya dengan membanjirnya polusi udara, air, dan cemaran zat aditif dalam jajanan. Radiasi gelombang elektromagnetik peralatan elektronik kini sama jahatnya dengan jamu nakal, produk herbal berbahaya, dalam memicu kemunculan kanker. Menu masyarakat berkecukupan didominasi menu berprotein tinggi, misalnya kelebihan daging. Ini menjadi bagian dari gaya makan orang sekarang. Tanpa disadari, pola makan seperti itu lebih sering mencetuskan kanker. Anak sekarang lebih memilih ayam goreng, bistik, burger, dan sosis ketimbang ikan, tempe, tahu, serta sayur asam yang lebih menyehatkan. Jenis menu “tiger diet“ semacam inilah yang menjadikan generasi sekarang memiliki pola makan yang kian mencemaskan, termasuk “westernisasi“ dalam pola makan. Hal ini tidak hanya bikin anak lebih tambun, tapi juga menyimpan “bom waktu“ bakal meledaknya ragam penyakit orang modern. Itu sebabnya, penyakit metabolisme, komplotan darah tinggi, kencing manis, asam urat, ginjal, dan komplikasinya, selain kanker, kian banyak menimpa serta merenggut kaum berusia muda (premature death). Pengawasan pemerintah terhadap jajanan nakal dan segala yang merugikan masyarakat tak cukup panjang untuk menjangkau begitu luas serta jauhnya wilayah kita. Di kota-kota besar pun masih bebas beredar warung makan, bahkan restoran, dan kedai yang menjajakan makanan yang belum tentu seluruhnya menyehatkan, nyaris tanpa pengawasan. Minyak goreng yang tak menyehatkan, serta cara olah, cara penyajian, dan bahan bakunya yang buruk, dalam jangka panjang, berpotensi merusak kesehatan konsumen. Kalau tangan pemerintah begitu pendek untuk mengawasi segala yang merugikan masyarakat, cara mudah dan sederhana menyelamatkan masyarakat dari bahaya laten menu serta jajanan tak menyehatkan adalah dengan memberi penyuluhan agar masyarakat hidup cerdas (sehat). Cerdas memilih makanan sehat. Cerdas bergaya hidup sehat. Untuk itu, penyuluhan juga menjadi kunci pamungkasnya. “Bom waktu“ bagi generasi sekarang bukan cuma akibat mereka tercemar begitu banyak zat berbahaya yang timbul dari tak sehatnya menu harian, tapi juga makin gampangnya anak ataupun orang dewasa menjadi gemuk. Kegemukan juga “bom waktu“ buat munculnya banyak penyakit orang sekarang, selain terkait dengan tercetusnya kanker. Tugas pemerintahlah, dan peranan setiap ibu, untuk menginsafi bahwa gemuk itu penyakit. Dan tidak gemuk tidak juga kurus adalah target membangun keluarga dan generasi berkualitas.

[proletar] Peace talks aborted to give International Quartet plan “a chance” – Israeli President
http://www.asharq-e.com/news.asp?section=1&id=27916 Peace talks aborted to give International Quartet plan “a chance” – Israeli President 31/12/2011 By Nazir Majali Tel Aviv, Asharq Al-Awsat – Israeli President Shimon Peres is the elder statesmen of Israeli politics. He has served as Israeli Prime Minister three times in his career, and has been a member of 12 cabinets in a political career spanning more than half a century. He was first elected to the Knesset in November 1959, and barring a three-month-long hiatus in early 2006, served continuously until 2007, when he was appointed President. Peres is widely respected within Israel, as well as the Arab world, and was a recipient of the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize, along with Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat, for the peace talks he participated in – as Israeli Foreign Minister – which produced the Oslo Accords. In an exclusive interview with Asharq Al-Awsat, Israeli President Shimon Peres talks about the future of Palestinian – Israeli peace negotiations, the Arab Spring, and the threat of Iran. The following is the full text of the interview: [Asharq Al-Awsat] I met with you a few months ago just prior to your trip to Jordan to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, to complete talks aimed at resuming the peace negotiations. At the time, you said that you were extremely optimistic about the chances of resuming peace negotiations, but nothing was achieved on the ground. What happened? [Peres] The situation in Egypt became more complicated, whilst there was [also] rapprochement between Hamas and Fatah. [Asharq Al-Awsat] However, isn’t it true that you were the one who contacted Abbas at the last moment, informing him that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not granting you permission to pursue the talks? [Peres] Yes, things were impeded on that day, but I did not give up. [Asharq Al-Awsat] On that day, did you reach any agreement with Abbas? Did this meeting achieve any serious progress? [Peres] We made a lot of progress. [Asharq Al-Awsat] What progress? Whose ideas were implemented or agreed upon; your own ideas, those of Abbas, those of Netanyahu? [Peres] Everything was in coordination with Prime Minister [Netanyahu]. [Asharq Al-Awsat] Could this “progress” have resulted in a serious agreement? [Peres] It could have been very serious, if we were not forced to stop. [Asharq Al-Awsat] What forced you to stop? [Peres] The International Quartet submitted its new proposals, and Tony Blair and US officials arrived and offered to conduct direct meetings focusing on the issues of borders and security. They asked each party to put forward its proposals [on these issues] within three months…this is what halted our progress. [Asharq Al-Awsat] So you are saying that it was the International Quartet – not Prime Minister Netanyahu – that halted your most recent efforts to reach an agreement with Abbas? [Peres] Netanyahu told me that he wanted to give the International Quartet’s proposal a chance. [Asharq Al-Awsat] However since that there have been no direct Israeli – Palestinian contacts. In this case, how would you characterize the International Quartet’s intervention? [Peres] This [Israeli – Palestinian communication] has not been cut off completely, but it is less than before. This period will end on 14 January. [Asharq Al-Awsat] Do you mean to say that the International Quartet’s proposal is doomed to failure, and the negotiations will return to their previous track? [Peres] Yes, this is what I believe. [Asharq Al-Awsat] The International Quartet has asked each party to put forward its proposal regarding the issue of borders and security. As far as I know, the Palestinians have done this, putting forward their own initiative regarding the border issue, and supporting the initiative that was previously put forward by the US regarding security. However the Israelis have so-far failed to put forward any initiative, is this true? [Peres] Since the Americans put forward their initiative regarding the security issue, new developments have occurred in the region. There is a lack of security in the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip, whilst the situation in Syria and Lebanon is unclear. Even in Egypt, the situation is obscure, but we must not fall victim to despair. [Asharq Al-Awsat] However didn’t the Ehud Olmert government agree to the US proposal on the security issue? [Peres] The present Israeli government does not see itself as being bound to accept what was agreed by Olmert. [Asharq Al-Awsat] Why? [Peres] This is because this was a proposal, not an agreement. Abbas did not sign any agreement with Olmert, so this is not binding to the next government. [Asharq Al-Awsat] Is there any hope in the current hardline Netanyahu government reaching an agreement with the Palestinians? [Peres] I believe in direct negotiations. The International Quartet is not

[proletar] Defense bolstered with $29.4bn arms deal with America
Ref: Kira-kira negara mana yang akan menyerang Arab Saudia atau negara mana yang akan diserang oleh Arab Saudia? http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article556220.ece Defense bolstered with $29.4bn arms deal with America A F-15S fighter jet of Saudi Arabian Air Force. By P.K. ABDUL GHAFOUR | ARAB NEWS Published: Dec 31, 2011 00:13 Updated: Dec 31, 2011 00:13 JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia has boosted its defense capabilities with a $29.4 billion arms deal with the United States. The Kingdom confirmed on Friday that it has signed the deal to purchase 84 F-15SA fighter jets. A Defense Ministry spokesman said the deal includes 70 Apache attack helicopters, 72 Black Hawk helicopters, 36 AH-6i helicopters and 12 MD-530F helicopters as well as upgrading of 70 existing F15 jets. “The agreement also includes munitions, spare parts, training, maintenance and logistics for several years to ensure high level of defense capabilities for the Kingdom to safeguard its people and land,” the Saudi Press Agency quoted the spokesman as saying. He said the deal came in line with the desire of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, supreme commander of the armed forces, to strengthen the defense capabilities of Saudi forces. In a previous statement, Defense Minister Prince Salman emphasized the need to modernize the Kingdom’s armed forces and bolster its defense capabilities in the face of growing challenges and threats. In a similar statement, Chief of Staff Gen. Hussein Al-Qubail warned against the dangerous developments surrounding the Kingdom and had called for quick action to modernize the armed forces. The defense spokesman did not say how much the deal would cost but the US said it is worth $29.4 billion and would support more than 50,000 US jobs and give the American economy a $3.5 billion annual boost. The announcement came with tensions between Iran and the US on the rise after Tehran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz to oil tankers if Washington imposes a new raft of sanctions over its nuclear program. “This agreement reinforces the strong and enduring relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia, and demonstrates the US commitment to a strong Saudi defense capability as a key component to regional security,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest on Thursday in Honolulu. According to one report, the Saudi-US deal — the single priciest US arms sale to a foreign country — was signed on Saturday in Riyadh. It was first unveiled in October 2010 as part of a $60 billion US arms sale to Saudi Arabia. The delivery of the whole package will unfold over 15 to 20 years, US officials said. First deliveries of the aircraft will be made in early 2015, while the modernization of existing planes will start in 2014 and the first payments for the deal are expected in the coming weeks and months. Administration officials described the sale of advanced F-15s as designed to bolster overall Saudi defenses in an uncertain region. “In the Middle East right now, there's a number of threats," said Andrew Shapiro, assistant US secretary of state for political-military affairs. “Clearly one of the threats that they face, as well as other countries in the region, is Iran,” he said. But the sale was "not solely directed" toward Iran, Shapiro said. “This is directed toward meeting our partner Saudi Arabia's defense needs,” he said. The Obama administration in October 2010 notified Congress of the proposed F-15 sale as part of a potential package valued at up to $60 billion over 10 to 15 years, including the 84 advanced Boeing F-15SA fighters with cutting-edge Raytheon Co radar equipment and digital electronic warfare systems for which BAE Systems Plc is the key supplier. The head of Boeing's military business, Dennis Muilenburg, told Reuters the deliveries would take about five years to complete, extending the F-15 production line toward the end of this decade. Senior Pentagon official James Miller said the new F-15s "will be the most capable and versatile aircraft in the Royal Saudi Fighter inventory." He added: "The F-15SA will have the latest generation of computing power, radar technology, infrared sensors and electronic warfare systems." Saudi Arabia was the biggest buyer of US arms from Jan. 1, 2007 through the end of 2010, with signed agreements totaling $13.8 billion, followed by the United Arab Emirates, with $10.4 billion, according to a Dec. 15 Congressional Research Service report. — With input from agencie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Post message: prole...@egroups.com Subscribe : proletar-subscr...@egroups.com Unsubscribe : proletar-unsubscr...@egroups.com List owner : proletar-ow...@egroups.com Homepage: http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!

[proletar] CNN: Pakistan, India swap lists of nuclear sites - CNN.com
Langkah untuk denuklirisasi Asia selatan dan langkah untuk mengakhiri perseteruan India Pakistan? Semoga. -- Pakistan, India swap lists of nuclear sites - CNN.com By the CNN Wire Staff 2012-01-01T15:08:59Z CNN.com Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Nuclear rivals India and Pakistan exchanged lists of their nuclear sites Sunday in accordance with a 1988 agreement that prohibits the neighboring countries from attacking the locations, officials in Islamabad said. Pakistan's foreign ministry confirmed that it turned in its list to the Indian High Commission, and received the same from New Delhi. There was no immediate comment from Indian officials. Both countries recently returned to talks on conventional and nuclear weapons, Indian officials have said. No major developments were expected from the high-level talks, which were held in Islamabad last week. The discussions were aimed at building confidence between the two nuclear powers, according to a December statement from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs. Dialogue will help the countries understand each other's nuclear doctrine, Pakistan's state-run news agency cited foreign office spokesman Abdul Basit as saying. India and Pakistan have fought three wars since the partition of the Asian subcontinent in 1947. Two of them were over Kashmir, which is claimed by both countries. In 2004, the nations agreed to negotiations that cover eight issues, including Kashmir, terrorism and Pakistan's concerns over river dams on the Indian side of the border, which it sees as a threat to its water supplies. Earlier this year, New Delhi and Islamabad agreed to resume peace talks frozen by the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. India blamed Pakistani militants for the strike on its financial capital, which killed more than 160 people. In July, both nations vowed they would not allow their relationship to slide backward again. Journalist Wajahat S. Khan contributed to this report. © 2012 Cable News Network.

[proletar] A Maya culpa on end of world
http://www.theage.com.au/world/a-maya-culpa-on-end-of-world-20120101-1ph5o.html A Maya culpa on end of world Matthew Restall and Amara Solariare January 2, 2012 a.. A Mayan priest taking part in a ceremony. Photo: AP THE last New Year's Day in human history has come. You may not believe it, but millions do. They are convinced that ancient Maya priests calculated December 21, 2012, as the end of the world. The only problem is, the ancient Maya predicted no such thing. In its heyday, circa AD250 to 900, the Mayan civilisation produced a dazzling legacy of literature and learning, art and architecture. But they weren't preoccupied with apocalypse. The Maya perceived time as a set of infinite cycles, not a clock ticking towards doomsday. One of these cycles, known by scholars as the Maya Long Count, consists of more than 5000 years. In our calendrical system, it began in August 3114BC and is due to end on December 21, 2012 - or, in Maya numerology, 13.0.0.0.0. But there is nothing to suggest the Maya believed this date would be the world's last. One text that records the date 13.0.0.0.0, a carved stone plaque from the Mexican site of Tortuguero, was ambiguously read by Maya scholars in 1996 as possibly predicting an ominous event - the ''descent'' of a deity associated with the underworld. The scholars posted their interpretation online and that reading spread rapidly across the internet in the years that followed, promoted as evidence of a specific Mayan prophecy. The consensus today is that the text refers to a future commemoration of that date, when the local ruler will impersonate or represent that deity. It is not a doomsday prophecy but a bold assertion that the seventh-century building once marked by the plaque would still stand in 2012. If the evidence for Mayan doomsday predictions is so flimsy, why are so many people willing to believe it is true? All societies are drawn to knowledge that seems time- worn, mysterious, coded - and to the magic of its decoding. Another explanation lies deep within our own Western traditions, which include teachings about the end of the world. In stark contrast to the Maya, mediaeval Europeans generated a vast body of literature and artwork predicting and describing the world's end. Nobody questioned that it would come; the issue was how and when. AP Restall and Solariare are the authors of 2012 and the End of the World: The Western Roots of the Maya Apocalypse. They teach art history, history and anthropology at Pennsylvania State University.

[proletar] Anak kecil
Seorang bocah laki-laki masuk ke sebuah toko. Ia mengambil peti minuman dan mendorongnya ke dekat pesawat telepon koin. Lalu, ia naik ke atasnya sehingga ia bisa menekan tombol angka di telepon dengan leluasa. Ditekannya tujuh digit angka. Si pemilik toko mengamati-amati tingkah bocah ini dan menguping percakapan teleponnya. Bocah: "Ibu, bisakah saya mendapat pekerjaan memotong rumput di halaman Ibu?" Ibu (di ujung telepon sebelah sana): "Saya sudah punya orang untuk mengerjakannya". Bocah: "Ibu bisa bayar saya setengah upah dari orang itu". Ibu: "Saya sudah sangat puas dengan hasil kerja orang itu". Bocah (dengan sedikit memaksa): "Saya juga akan menyapu pinggiran trotoar Ibu dan saya jamin di hari Minggu halaman rumah Ibu akan jadi yang tercantik di antara rumah" yg berada di kompleks perumahan ibu". Ibu: "Tidak, terima kasih. Saya sudah mendapatkan orang terbaik untuk pekerjaan tersebut dan saya tidak mau ada orang lain yang menggantikannya". Dengan senyuman di wajahnya, bocah itu menaruh kembali gagang telepon. Si pemilik toko, yang sedari tadi mendengarkan, menghampiri bocah itu. Pemilik Toko: "Nak, aku suka sikapmu, semangat positifmu, dan aku ingin menawarkanmu pekerjaan". Bocah: "Tidak Pak. Terima Kasih". Pemilik Toko: "Tapi tadi kedengarannya kamu sangat menginginkan pekerjaan tersebut". Bocah: "Oh, itu.. Pak. Saya cuma mau mengecek apa kerjaan saya sudah bagus. Sayalah yang bekerja untuk Ibu tadi!" Seperti anak kecil dalam cerita di atas, sebaiknya kita mengevaluasi tentang apa yang telah kita kerjakan di tahun 2011 kemaren untuk memastikan kualitas kerja yang lebih baik di tahun 2012 ini.

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Explosions in western Pakistan killed four people Sunday, including a young boy, authorities said. A blast in Pakistan's volatile Balochistan province left three members of the country's security forces dead, and two more wounded, military and police officials said. The victims were part of a convoy escorting civilians through the Zain Koh area of Dera Bugti, said Ghulam Muhammad Baloch, a police official. The Dera Bugti attack came just two days after an explosion outside the home of a former lawmaker in the provincial capital of Quetta killed 13 people. Also Sunday, a 7-year-old boy died in a roadside bombing in Pakistan's tribal Bajaur agency, said Islam Zeb, a government official. Three others were wounded in that attack. Journalists Wajahat S.

Refl: Selama ini malas-malas jadi sekarang dirajinkan? http://www.pikiran-rakyat.com/node/171471 2012, DPR Bertekad Tingkatkan Kinerja Minggu, 01/01/2012 - 18:24 JAKARTA, (PRLM).- Ketua DPR RI Marzuki Alie mengajak semua partai yang ada di DPR untuk mengutamakan kepentingan bangsa. Oleh karena itu, seluruh jajaran DPR bertekad meningkatkan kinerja pada 2012. Marzuki menyampaikan hal itu di sela-sela acara menyambut tahun baru dan harapan tahun 2012, di kediaman pribadinya, di kawasan Halim Perdanakusuma, Jakarta, Minggu (1/1) dini hari. Dikemukakan, DPR periode sekarang punya waktu 2,5 tahun untuk menyelesaikan semua tugasnya. "Tahun 2012 harus jadi kinerja terbaik," kata Wakil Ketua Dewan Partai Demokrat ini. Marzuki menyebutkan, kinerja yang baik dapat dilihat dari penyusunan anggaran yang berpihak pada rakyat dan pengawasan serta legislasi ditingkatkan. Dia menilai, dalam kurun waktu dua tahun DPR terpuruk dan ada perilaku yang tidak beretika dan tidak disiplin. Karena itu dia berharap 2012 DPR akan lebih berdisiplin. Dengan demikian, rakyat tidak terlalu menyesal. "Masyarakat jangan sampai kecewa," katanya. Untuk mendisiplinkan anggota, kata Marzuki, akan diberlakukan absensi elektronik. "Mudah-mudahan akan mempengaruhi. Kemarin lapor ke partai isi penuh. Demokrat absen penuh semua," katanya. Kegiatan menyambut tahun baru yang diselenggarakan Ketua DPR menghadirkan musik jalanan. Grup musik itu terdiri atas empat orang sehari-hari tampil di kereta Jabodetabek. Beberapa anggota DPR termasuk Ketua Fraksi PD DPR Jafar Hafsah, anggota FPD DPR Syofwatillah Mohzaib dan Haryanto. Tidak ada pidato resmi dalam kegiatan ini dan diselenggarakan atas ide Marzuki yang disampaikan melalui Grup DPR 1.

[proletar] SBY Dituduh Abaikan Kompolnas
ref : Mungkin tidak diabaikan, tetapi anggota keluarga masih dalam proses persiapan untuk jabatan http://www.pikiran-rakyat.com/node/123939 Terkait Calon Kapolri SBY Dituduh Abaikan Kompolnas a.. Selasa, 05/10/2010 - 08:59 JAKARTA, (PRLM).- Komisi Kepolisian Nasional (Kompolnas) mengatakan Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) mengabaikan masukan soal calon Kapolri dengan mengajukan nama Komjen Timur Pradopo. Kepastian pencalonan Timur Pradopo disampaikan oleh ketua DPR Marzuki Alie yang Senin (4/11) malam mengatakan dia sudah menerima surat dari Presiden. Anggota Kompolnas La Ode Husein mengatakan pihaknya dan Polri sudah melakukan penilaian sehingga merekomendasikan nama Komjen Nanan Soekarna dan Komjen Imam Sudjarwo sebagai calon kapolri kepada presiden. La Ode Husein mengatakan tidak memahami mengapa presiden mengabaikan pertimbangan Kompolnas dan Polri. "Pertimbangan itu mempunyai makna yuridis kalau kita lihat dalam undang-undang. Seharusnya pertimbangan Kompolnas tidak bisa diabaikan," kata La Ode Husein kepada "BBC". Timur Pradopo baru Senin (4/10) dilantik menjadi jenderal bintang tiga sebagai kepala badan pemeliharaan keamanan. Sebelumnya dia adalah Kapolda Metro Jaya dengan pangkat inspektur jenderal atau jenderal bintang dua. Namun juru bicara presiden Julian Aldrin Pasha mengatakan pencalonan Timur Pradopo sudah sesuai dengan Undang-Undang nomor 2 tahun 2002 tentang kepolisian negara. Julian Pasha secara khusus menyebut pasal 11 yang pada dasarnya mengatakan kapolri diangkat dan diberhentikan oleh presiden dengan persetujuan DPR. Langkah selanjutnya dalam proses pencalonan Timur Pradopo adalah uji kelayakan yang akan dilakukan oleh Komisi III DPR yang menangani masalah hukum. Anggota Komisi III dari PDI-Perjuangan Trimedya Panjaitan mengatakan partainya akan menyoroti peran Timur Pradopo dalam peristiwa Trisakti-Semanggi. "Karena Pak Timur Pradopo ini pernah dipanggil Pansus Trisakti-Semanggi, mungkin kita meminta Komnas HAM meneliti secara komperhensif sejauh mana keterelibatan Pak Timur Pradopo soal Trisakti-Semanggi," kata Trimedya. Trimedya juga akan menanyai rekam jejak Timur Pradopo sebagai Kapolda Metro Jaya yang ditandai dengan kericuhan soal Gereja HKBP di Bekasi dan pembunuhan di Jln. Ampera, Jakarta Selatan, akhir bulan September. Timur Pradopo dicalonkan sebagai pengganti Jeneral Bambang Hendarso Danuri yang masa jabatannya habis akhir bulan Oktober.

http://makassar.tribunnews.com/2011/12/28/orang-bugis-tak-mengenal-ucapan-terimakasih Orang Bugis Tak Mengenal Ucapan Terimakasih Tribun Timur - Rabu, 28 Desember 2011 13:38 WITAShare | Dr Darwis, MA DpsMAKASSAR, TRIBUN-TIMUR.COM - Dialog budaya kini sedang berlangsung di kediaman seniman Asdar Muis di Kompleks Bukit Hartaco Indah, Daya Makassar. Dialog ini menampilkan pembicara Dr Darwis, Dr Syahriar Tato, Asdar Muis, dan Asia Ramli Prapanca. Sementara peserta dialog juga dihadiri hampir 10 orang seniman dari Kabupaten Sigi, Sulawesi Tengah. Hadir pula pemerhati seni lainnya Bahar Merdhu, Anis Kaba, Mega Atu Retnoningtyas dari Surabaya dan lainnya. Dalam dialog Darwis mengatakan seniman sangat berperan besar dalam merekonsiliasi konflik di masyarakat. Lewat pertunjukkan teater misalnya, seniman dapat mempengaruhi dan menumbuhkan kesadaran warga untuk bersatu dan hidup dalam suasana damai. Sosiolog Darwis juga mengatakan orang Bugis Makassar tidak pernah mengenal kata terima kasih. Tetapi itu bisa dilakukan dalam simbol simbol. Misalnya ada tetangga yang datang membawa kue ke rumah seseorang, biasanya piring pembawa kue tadi tidak pulang kosong tetapi diisi dengan pemberian pula. Itu termasuk simbol ucapan terima kasih yang menerima pemberian tadi. Sampai sekarang dialog masih berlangsung. (*/tribun-timur.com) Penulis : Tasman Banto Editor : Muh.

[proletar] Indonesian tycoon makes $30m donation to NUS
Indonesian tycoon makes $30m donation to NUS AsiaOne Sunday, Jan 01, 2012 SINGAPORE - A wealthy Indonesian businessman and philanthropist has made a $30 million gift to the National University of Singapore's (NUS) Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (YLLSoM). With a matching grant made by the government, the gift is expected to amount to an estimated $75 million, NUS said on its website. The donor is Dr Tahir, a 1976 graduate of Nanyang University, which later merged with the University of Singapore to form NUS. The NUS alumnus - who is the founder and executive chairman of the Indonesian conglomerate Mayapada Group - has made previous gifts to NUS but none as large as this recent one. Over the period between 2006 and 2010, Dr Tahir gave a total of $3 million to set up scholarships and bursaries at NUS Business School and University Town. His gift this round will help to advance medical education and research in YLLSoM, NUS President Prof Tan Chorh Chuan said on the varsity's website. When interviewed by The Straits Times (ST), Dr Tahir, 59, was hesitant to talk about the $30 million pledge he had made but instead discussed his philosophy of philanthropy. He mentioned investor George Soros, an example of what he called "corporate raiders" - those who "take countries down and leave their people without jobs, then become philanthropic". "Would you call him a good man?" Dr Tahir asked in the ST interview. Dr Tahir said he would rather be a Bill Gates than a George Soros. "It's not about how many cars you have, how rich you are. That's disgusting," he was quoted as saying in ST. This incisive quote, incidentally, became the headline of ST's story about him. Dr Tahir said education was one of the most important causes one could support, and he hoped his actions would inspire other alumni and friends to do likewise. Prof Tan said on the NUS website, "As an alumni donor of the University, Dr Tahir inspires us with his passionate belief in the University's ability to influence the future and positively impact the lives around us." adri...@sph.com.sg http://news.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BN ... 19334.html [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Post message: prole...@egroups.com Subscribe : proletar-subscr...@egroups.com Unsubscribe : proletar-unsubscr...@egroups.com List owner : proletar-ow...@egroups.com Homepage: http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!

[proletar] Warga Syiah di Pengungsian Gelisah
Refl: Mengapa tidak sekaligus NKRI menyatakan perang kepada Iran yang adalah pusat aliran Syjah dan hanya berani menyerang umat di Madura. http://www.lampungpost.com/home/pencarian-berita/39-nasional/20210-warga-syiah-di-pengungsian-gelisah.html Warga Syiah di Pengungsian Gelisah Jumat, 30 December 2011 17:52 PENGUNGSI SYIAH. Sejumlah perempuan dan anak-anak pengikut aliran Syiah berada di tempat pengungsian di lapangnan tenis indoor, Sampang, Madura, Jatim, Jumat (30-12).FOTO/ANTARA MADURA (Lampost.com): Meski sudah dievakuasi ke Kota Sampang, Madura, Jawa Timur, kegelisahan masih menyelimuti ratusan warga Syiah pascapembakaran pesantren dan rumah warga pengikut Tajul Muluk, Jumat (30-12). Ratusan warga Syiah sebelumnya sempat diungsikan ke kantor Kecamatan Omben, namun tak berapa lama kemudian mereka dibawa ke kompleks Lapangan Tennis Indoor Kota Sampang. Data sementara jumlah pengungsi sebanyak 253 orang. Kebanyakan dari mereka adalah anak-anak. Mereka gelisah karena memikirkan kondisi rumah di Desa Karang Gayam yang ditinggalkan. Mereka khawatir tidak bisa lagi pulang ke kampung halaman yang menjadi sasaran amuk warga. Tempat pengungsian yang tidak layak juga semakin membuat mereka tidak nyaman. Salah seorang pengungsi, Muti'ah, mengaku saat kejadian nyaris dibunuh massa yang bersenjatakan celurit. “Orang-orang itu bilang, pergi sana semua perempuan. Terus saya diancam mau dibunuh, leher saya dikalungi celurit. Padahal waktu itu saya hanya duduk-duduk melihat kejadian. Saya bilang, 'sudah bunuh saja saya. Wong saya tidak salah apa-apa ke kalian. Saya loh cuma mau lihat'.” kata dia dengan logat Maduranya yang kental, Jumat (30-12). Sementara itu, sekira 800 personel polisi bersenjata lengkap masih bersiaga di Desa Karang Gayam. Sebagian besar adalah personel Brimob. Polisi menetapkan siaga satu.
