Claims include Pinocchio DVD, golf clubs, dance class, charities
Wed, 06/11/2008 10:37 AM | Business
It's hard to directly relate oil and gas operations to a DVD of
Pinocchio, the wooden puppet whose nose grew longer every time he told a
lie.
But the DVD, along with other expenses for wine, parties, golf clubs,
dancing courses, charities and even Islamic haj pilgrimages to Saudi
Arabia are among the costs oil and gas contractors submitted for
government rebates in 2005.
In an audit of the 2005 accounts of several oil and gas concessions
belonging to Total E&P Indonesie, ExxonMobil Oil Indonesia Inc. and
Chevron Indonesia, the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) found around US$16
million in questionable claims.
The claims were all related to community development, training and
education, sports and recreational activities and sponsorships.
"There are numerous items which should be excluded from the cost
recovery provision. For example, costs for community development. The
firms seem to be generous but at the end of the day they pass on the
bill to the government," said BPK senior auditor Widodo H. Mumpuni.
In the audit of Total's Mahakam Block operation in Kalimantan, the BPK
found some $2.62 million and Rp 9.46 billion ($1.02 million) in spending
related to community development, training and recreation.
Aside from the Pinocchio DVD, Total filed cost recovery claims for a
water skiing boat engine, diving, recreation, French film festival
sponsorship, HIV campaign, dancing teachers and farewell parties.
Total spokeswoman Judith J. Navarro-Dipodiputro refused to comment on
the findings, saying BPMigas was more authorized to respond.
In the BPK audit report, the firm said the expenses were aimed at
employee development under its "macro strategy" to improve worker and
family welfare. The company also said BPMigas had approved some of the
spending.
"Although the amount is small compared to the billions of dollars the
oil and gas contractors contribute to the state, there is an issue of
appropriateness here," said analyst Firdaus Ilyas of Indonesian
Corruption Watch (ICW).
"For the contractors, costs for the luxuries are just peanuts. But for
millions of poor Indonesians they mean a lot. Such claims have reduced
the government share of the oil proceeds, which could be used for
building schools," he said.
In its audit, the BPK also found some $217,587 of questionable expenses
claimed by ExxonMobil's B Block, NSO Block and Pase Block for community
development, which included funds for workers to play golf, bowling and
farewell parties.
ExxonMobil spokeswoman Deva Rachman didn't reply to The Jakarta Post's
written requests for clarification. However, the company said in the BPK
report that BPMigas had approved such costs. Other BPK findings include
claims for charitable expenses.
Chevron's operation in East Kalimantan, for example, obtained a rebate
for $19,650 in charities for the tsunami disaster in Aceh and Nias in
2005, saying such claims were possible under its work contract with the
government.
"Most of the companies brought their flags to Aceh to give away to
charities. They made their name known, but later they asked the
government to pay them back. So they were not contributing at all," said
Widodo.
The charities were part of Chevron's $9.55 million in expenses that the
BPK categorized as nonrecoverable as they were spent for activities not
directly related to operations, such as for sports, training for
expatriate workers and accounting services.
However, Chevron agreed to exclude from the claims only $492,430 for the
accounting expense and $44,780 for the training.
The BPK also highlighted problems of open clauses in the contracts and
in the regulations for benefit packages and working requirements for
expatriates.
In 2005, Chevron spent some $1.22 million on expatriates who were no
longer involved in its Indonesian operations, according to the BPK
report.
Some expenses were even allocated for workers who never worked here, it
said.
Not until the BPK found such irregularities did Chevron agree to exclude
them from its cost recovery claims.
"If the BPK had not spotted the irregularities, the companies might have
walked away free," said Widodo.
In its written statement to the Post, Chevron said it was subject to the
U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which functions as its internal
control.
In response to all the findings, BPMigas deputy chairman Abdul Muin said
the BPK should not make a big deal of such spending as the contributions
of the oil firms to the state were far bigger.
"For some cases, I agree the expenses are not appropriate. But the BPK
should not focus on these kinds of things, which are of course, very
unpopular among the public. They should go for the big one instead," he
said, adding that it was not in the interests of big oil and gas
contractors to abuse the cost recovery mechanism.
Chevron also said the "issue should not be looked at in a piecemeal
fashion".
Chevron said it had numerous community development initiatives that were
funded by its parent company, Chevron Corporation, such as for
environmental and education programs.
Following the 2004 tsunami, for example, Chevron provided assistance
through the Chevron Aceh Recovery Initiative for the rehabilitation of
Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam and Nias Island, where funding of $14.7 million
was exclusively provided by Chevron Corporation, thus not from the
government's cost recovery fund.

satu hal yang mungkin kita lupa..
islam tidak mengajarkan untuk main hakim sendiri..
semua harus ijin dari pemerintah..
kalo hukum yang dijalankan pemerintah tidak memperbolehkan. .
cara kita ya dengan memberikan contoh baik dan nasehat2..

yang pasti, islam adalh agama yang penuh kasih sayang. tapi juga
tegas dalam menghadapi kemungkaran. apa yang dilakukan FPI yang terkesan
identik dengan kekerasan tidak lah seperti yang terlihat. seringkali
perbuatan tersebut terjadi karena efek keridakpedulian, ketidakbecusan,
ketidak mampuan aparat penegak hukum untuk bertindak mencegah
perbuatan-perbuatan maksiat yang jelas2 melanggar hukum. Karena biasanya
FPI berbuat begitu setelah sebelumnya mereka mengingatkan aparat untuk
bertindak. ketika itu tidak diindahkan maka seringkali terjadi seperti
yang sering kita lihat.
gak usah bingung harus ikut ajaran islam yang mana. karena islam
cuma satu yang berdasarkan Quran dan hadist. kalau ada yang berselisih
faham tentangnya maka kembali aja kepadanya, karena Quran tidak mungkin
bertentangan (4:82).

Di
Mana Habib Rizieq dan Abdurrahman Wahid Sebelum Kasus
Monas
Minggu, 8 Jun 08 20:01 WIB
Kirim
teman
Apa
yang dilakukan Habib Rizieq dan Abdurrahman Wahid
beberapa hari sebelum pecahnya
bentrokkan di Monas, Ahad, 1 Juni 2008, bisa dijadikan
cerminan siapa yang
berjuang membela agama Allah SWT ini dan mana yang malah
berada di sisi musuh
Allah SWT? Inilah faktanya:
Habib
Muhammad Rizieq Syihab
Sejak
pertengahan Mei 2008, Habib Rizieq memiliki kesibukan
tersendiri dengan
pengacara Indra Sahnun Lubis, SH, sahabatnya. Keduanya
bukan tengah mengurus
masalah hukum, namun tengah mempersiapkan seorang
selebritis yang mau kembali ke
Islam.
Kepada
sang artis, Habib berkali-kali menanyakan apakah dirinya
memang sungguh-sungguh
ingin kembali ke Islam, bukan dengan paksaan atau ada
motivasi lain selain
hidayah dari Alah SWT. Sang artis, bernama Steve
Emmnauel, berkali-kali pula
menyatakan keseriusannya dan menegaskan jika
keinginannya itu keluar dari hati
nuraninya sendiri. Bukan paksaan siapa pun.
Akhirnya,
pada hari Sabtu, 24 Mei 2008, didampingi oleh Pengacara
Indra Sahnun Lubis,
Steve Emmanuel mengucapkan dua kalimah syahadat di depan
Habib Rizieq, puluhan
anggota FPI, dan para wartawan. Setelah bersyahadat,
Steve memilih nama baru
"Yusuf Iman". Menurutnya, nama tersebut dipilih Steve
alias Yusuf Iman karena
terinspirasi oleh Cat Steven, seorang penyanyi ternama
Inggris yang kembali ke
Islam dan mengubah namanya menjadi Yusuf Islam.
"Alhamdulillah,
saya senang, bahagia, merasa excited. Sebentar lagi mau
bulan puasa,
mungkin ini jadi awal yang baik untuk saya, " ujar Yusuf
Iman usai resmi
mengucap dua kalimah syahadat. Kini Yusuf Iman mengisi
hari demi hari dengan
mendalami Islam bersama seorang Ustadz yang ditunjuk
untuk
membinanya.
Abdurrahman
Wahid
Awal
Mei 2008, Abdurrahman Wahid terbang ke Amerika serikat
memenuhi undangan Simon
Wiesenthal Center (SWC), sebuah LSM Zionis garda
terdepan di AS. SWC akan
menganugerahkan Medal of Valor, Medali Keberanian, buat
Durahman yang dianggap
sangat berani membela kepentingan Zionis di sebuah
negeri mayoritas Muslim
terbesar dunia bernama Indonesia .
Dalam
konferensi pers di Gedung PBNU Jakarta , sebelum
keberangkatannya, Durahman menyatakan bahwa kepergiannya
ke AS selain untuk
menerima penghargaan tersebut juga akan merayakan
seklaigus mengucapkan selamat
atas kemerdekaan negara Israel ke-60. Durahman bukannya
tidak
tahu jika kemerdekaan Israel merupakan awal dimulainya
teror, pembunuhan,
pemerkosaan, pengusiran yang dilakukan teroris Zionis
Yahudi terhadap ratusan
ribu hingga jutaan warga Palestina yang sampai detik ini
masih jutaan jumlahnya
yang menjadi pengungsi di negeri-negeri sekitar tanah
airnya. Tapi
Durahman telah memilih posisi sebagai sekutu
Zionis-Israel, bukan
Palestina.
Acara
penganugerahan medali tersebut dilakukan dalam sebuah
acara makan malam istimewa
yang dihadiri banyak tokoh Zionis Amerika dan Israel,
termasuk aktor pro-Zionis
Will Smith (The Bad Boys Movie), di Beverly Wilshire
Hotel, 9500 Wilshire Blvd.,
Beverly Hills, Selasa (6 Mei), dimulai pukul 19.00 waktu
Los
Angeles.
Sebagai
tuan rumah adalah Rabbi Mervin Hier (Pendiri SWC dan
Rabbi paling berpengaruh di
AS 2007-2008), yang dengan tangannya sendiri
mengalungkan medali tersebut ke
leher Durahman. Durahman sendiri, sambil terus duduk di
kursi rodanya, tersenyum
dan mencium dengan penuh takzim medali tersebut. Inilah
seorang manusia yang
bernama Abdurrahman Wahid, tokoh sentral dalam AKKBB.
Sudah
sedemikian jelas sekarang, siapa yang memperjuangkan
Islam dan siapa yang
memilih bersekutu dengan musuh-musuh Allah SWT. Masihkan
Anda ragu mengambil
posisi dalam perjuangan ini? (rz)
