Indonesia accepts FIFA ban on national coach

The Jakarta Post | Thu, 04/19/2012 1:13 PM

Aji Santoso: (Tribunnews.com)

Indonesia coach Aji Santoso has been banned for four games and fined by FIFA for
accusing match officials of taking bribes during a 10-0 loss to Bahrain in World Cup
qualifying [1].
The Indonesian Football Association and Santoso said on Wednesday they accepted the
punishments but didn't rule out an appeal. Santoso, now coaching the national under-23 side,
was fined $6,530.
Santoso was red-carded by Lebanese referee Andre Al Haddad in the 75th minute of
February's match in Manama following allegations he accused Al Haddad of being
bribed [2].
FIFA said Santoso told the officials (there is) money involved (here). [3].
In the second minute, Al Haddad sent off Indonesia's goalkeeper and awarded four penalties
to Bahrain, which needed to make up a nine-goal deficit on Qatar to have a chance of
advancing to the next round.
However, Qatar drew 2-2 with Iran, and those two advanced.
FIFA called the outcome "unusual" and launched an investigation.
Indonesia was warned by FIFA before the match to send its strongest team, but an
inexperienced team was selected after Indonesia suspended players from clubs in the
breakaway Indonesian Super League.
Edi Ellison, the spokesman for the Indonesian association, said they will wait to decide on an
appeal after the result of FIFA's probe.
Because of the loss to Bahrain and the breakaway league, the government was planning to cut
funding to the association.

 A story of romantic love
Prodita Sabarini, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Sat, 02/12/2011 12:24 PM

Sweet Valentine: Baker Emily Jones decorates chocolate hearts at the Lake Champlain
Chocolates factory in Burlington, Vermont, on Feb. 11.AP/Toby TalbotFor many, February is
the month of romance.
Valentines Day on Feb. 14th gives people a momentum to celebrate love and express it to
their object of affection.
The classic formula to mark the occasion usually includes a romantic dinner for two, red
roses, chocolate, candy and a greeting card. For those with more money to spend, a holiday
getaway and jewelry might come into the picture.
Those skeptical of the days hype might refuse to partake in the consumerist frenzy, saying
that love should be celebrated on any day of the year. Romantics, who love the special
occasion, meticulously plan their activities on Valentines Day. And there are those who
dont mind being given a reason to be romantic [4].
But for every type of person holding different opinions on Valentines Day, romantic love is
more than dinner and gifts. It is the one drug that everyone loves as long as it lasts. It gives
people energy, sparks creativity, and makes a besotted person incredibly focused on ones
object of affection.
Romantic love is a great motivator and a muse for art. The many poems dedicated to love is
testament to that. Love drives people to go the extra mile. The fear of loosing love and
jealousy can drive people to the worst of actions, from stalking to murder.
Beyond kowtowing to the demands of a commercialized Valentines Day, The Jakarta Post
asked people what they did when driven by this intense emotion, and what their perception of
romantic love was.
Most answered they wanted an everlasting relationship. A happily married mother of one said
love was an illusion, referring to the roles of dopamine and serotonin in our brains. Others
say they believe in love in a metaphysical manner. And an editor-cum-artist dreams of a
noncommittal everlasting love.
The feisty, 25-year-old Bali-based editor Annisa Dharma said romance or the feeling of
infatuation drives her to assemble beautiful words that woo. It had also driven her to make
what she called grand gestures.
Ive moved countries for a boy. Ive made a song for a boy [5]. Ive created art for a boy.
Ive let go of my ambition for a boy, she said.
Annisa said her actions were driven by romance [6].
I think romance is more of a language. Romance and love dont go hand in hand, she said.
Personally, I cant be romantic to someone I truly love, and likewise, when I dont love a
person, I can be the most romantic person ever.
However if she really loves someone, she would not do anything to hurt or harm herself.
Because Id trust them with all my heart, she said.
Annisa added she would want love to last forever. Thus, no commitmentsFree and
liberating.
She however would not mind getting married if I found the right one, in which the
relationship didnt change regardless of the married status. That would mean getting married
purely as an act of romance which is fine, she said.
For 28-year-old Yolanda Nirmala, love has such a powerful effect on her it made her think
twice
about her religion and chose to live without it. She said she found peace as an agnostic.
Would it makes sense to you if I told you that being in love once led to me being agnostic?
Thats how powerful love is in my life, she said.
Coming from a conservative Muslim family, Yolanda fell in love with a man who had a
Catholic upbringing. She was in her early 20s, in college; meanwhile, her partner was in his
early thirties.
Their families disapproved of their relationship because they came from different faiths.
They continued to date in secret for fear of being separated [7].
She and her partner devised a plan to elope to Singapore and live abroad. They started to save
up money for their planned future together.
During this time, she started to question religion.
I started to lose my faith in religion. I started to ask myself: What is the point of religion
have if it used to hate other people? Because of a different religion, one can hate and stay
away from others?
Life sent her on another path, Yolanda said, as her boyfriend was killed in a car accident in
their two years of relationship.
I was sad as sad can be. But the thing that didnt die with him, was me being an agnostic,
she said. I dont feel there is a strong reason to fit in boxes that separate people.
For 29-year-old Ramdan Sudrajat, love has made him do things he never imagined he could
do.
I cleaned my girlfriends fathers behind when he was ill after having a stroke, he said.
I even surprised myself. I have never even seen my own father naked. Thats the power of
love, he said.
The relationship with his girlfriend eventually fizzled. That was around 2006 he said, and he
was over it.
Failure is normal. Even though I regret the decision to break up. I still remember her as a
part of the story of my life, he said.
I think love is when you put your trust and hope in someone whom you wish to be your life
companion and who will be by your side until you get old, he said.
While Ramdan is looking to forge a lasting relationship soon, Yolanda said she was not in a
rush and was looking for a mature relationship, with a solid long-term plan. If a guy says
sweet things to me such as I like you or something similar, until he proves it I would say its
bulls**t, she said. And until she finds that love, she is happy with casual dates.
Maria Ferrari, 33, a mother and a singer, has a very rational perspective on romantic love.
She believes it is an illusion, and the emotion comes from a combination neurotransmitters in
the brain.
In reality, [most] humans whether they realize it or not are self-centered, she said. For me,
the deepest and craziest [thing one can do] for love is to keep it unspoken.
She believes a committed relationship occurs when two people agree to want to know their
partners.
The want is full of conflict. And often it becomes a drama, just like sinetron, she said.
Maria added there was no time frame in getting to know ones partner. Because humans are
dynamic, she went on.
Despite her rational perspective, Maria enjoys being infected with the emotions.
Being high and low is exciting. Because [sometimes] that is what people look for. So life
doesnt feel that bland, she said.
Scientists have explained love through neuroscience. A professor of Neuroscience in Emory
University in Atlanta, Georgia, Larry Young. wrote in scientific journal Nature, that love
could be explained by a series of neurochemical events in a specific area of the brain. From
his research Young finds that oxytocin levels in the brain may enhance humans ability to form
trusting relationships.
Meanwhile anthropologist Helen Fisher states that different neurotransmitters such as
testorerone, dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin have roles in the phases of romantic love,
which are lust, attraction and attachment. In her articles, Fisher wrote that when someone
 faces rejection, the body goes into protest and also a renewed passion that she coined
frustration attraction, which results from the prolong effect of dopamine.
To cope with all the highs and lows of love, Maria suggested being conscious of all these
emotions.
Taking advice from meditation teacher, she said: Consciously enjoy everything, and
observe.

 Transjakarta feeder-bus route set for Bekasi
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Wed, 03/28/2012 10:35 AM

The Jakarta Transportation Agency will on Wednesday launch a new feeder-bus route to
support the Transjakarta busway between Bekasi and the Pulo Gadung terminal in East
Jakarta.

Jakarta Transportation Agency chief Udar Pristono said that the route will start at the Pulo
Gadung bus terminal and pass through Jl. Raya Bekasi, the Jakarta Outer Ring Road, the
Jakarta-Cikampek toll road and Jl. Cut Mutia before ending at the Bekasi terminal.

The route will use bus stops in front of the Social Ministry office and the Bekasi Trade
Center, which are both on Jl. Muladi Joyomartono, and in front of the Bank Mandiri office
and the Hiba Utama bus depot on Jl. Raya Bekasi, Udar said during a press conference in
Jakarta on Tuesday
Each passenger will have to pay a fare of Rp 9,500 (US$1.05), comprising Rp 6,000 for the
feeder bus and Rp 3,500 for the Transjakarta bus.
The bus is a high-deck-type with a capacity of 85 passengers, like a Transjakarta bus.
But unlike its Transjakarta counterpart, the feeder bus will be powered by diesel fuel, not
compressed natural gas (CNG). Fifteen buses will serve the route, with a total capacity of
17,340 passengers per day, Udar said.
He said that he hoped the feeder buses would see commuters from Bekasi who usually used
cars or motorcycles to get to Jakarta be converted into using public transportation.
It cannot absorb the passengers as targeted if commuters still use cars and motorcycles
instead of taking public transportation, he said.
Udar gave the example of the feeder-bus route that stops in front of City Hall, which only has
seen around 100 passengers a day utilize the service.
We have provided the facility but people do not want to use it, he said.
The agency also demanded that the Bekasi administration provide adequate facilities for
passengers, such as parking lots and restaurants, to support the regions growing bus system.
Based on research from the Greater Jakarta Urban Transportation Policy Integration Project
(JUTPI), the number of people commuting from Bekasi to Jakarta grew more than 60 percent
in eight years.
There were 423,000 people commuting daily from Bekasi to Jakarta in 2010, compared to
262,000 in 2002.
From the 423,000 Bekasi-Jakarta commuters, 51.1 percent used motorcycles and 29.1 percent
drove their cars.
Just 16.3 percent of commuters used bus services and 3.1 percent, or 13,113 passengers,
traveled by train each day.
Anisa Titisari, 23, a Bekasi resident who frequently goes to Jakarta to meet with friends, said
that she was pleased with the administrations plan.
It would be a lot easier to get to Jakarta. I usually have to change several public
transportation services to reach Jakarta, she told The Jakarta Post. However, she hoped that
the buses would journey closer to her house in Harapan Indah because it costs her Rp 5,000
to travel to the Bekasi bus terminal.
Several feeder-bus systems have been created by various private real-estate agencies
operating in Jakartas outskirts, such as in Tangerang and Cikarang.
These private services have been developed to help residents and clients get to
Transjakarta bus stops or terminals [8].

The Legend of Malin Kundang
Once upon a time, on the north coast of Sumatra lived a poor woman and his son. The boy
was called Malin Kundang . They didnt earn much as fishing was their only source of
income. Malin Kundang grew up as a skillful young boy. He always helps his mother to earn
some money. However, as they were only fishermans helper, they still lived in poverty.
Mother, what if I sail overseas? asked Malin Kundang one day to his mother. Her mother
didnt agree but Malin Kundang had made up his mind. Mother, if I stay here, Ill always be
a poor man. I want to be a successful person, urged Malin kundang. His mother wiped her
tears, If you really want to go, I cant stop you. I could only pray to God for you to gain
success in life, said his mother wisely. But, promise me, youll come home.

In the next morning, Malin Kundang was ready to go. Three days ago, he met one of the
successful ships crew. Malin was offered to join him. Take a good care of yourself, son,
said Malin Kundangs mother as she gave him some food supplies. Yes, Mother, Malin
Kundang said. You too have to take a good care of yourself. Ill keep in touch with you, he
continued before kissing his mothers hand. Before Malin stepped onto the ship, Malins
mother hugged him tight as if she didnt want to let him go.

It had been months since Malin Kundang left his mother. As his mother had predicted before,
he hadnt contacted her yet. Every morning, she stood on the pier. She wished to see the ship
that brought Malin kundang home. Every day and night, she prayed to the God for her sons
safety. There was so much prayer that had been said due to her deep love for Malin Kundang.
Even though its been a year she had not heard any news from Malin Kundang, she kept
waiting and praying for him.

After several years waiting without any news, Malin Kundangs mother was suddenly
surprised by the arrival of a big ship in the pier where she usually stood to wait for her son.
When the ship finally pulled over, Malin Kundangs mother saw a man who looked wealthy
stepping down a ladder along with a beautiful woman. She could not be wrong. Her blurry
eyes still easily recognized him. The man was Malin Kundang, her son.

Malin Kundangs mother quickly went to see her beloved son. Malin, youre back, son!
said Malin Kundangs mother and without hesitation, she came running to hug Malin
Kundang, I miss you so much. But, Malin Kundang didnt show any respond. He was
ashamed to admit his own mother in front of his beautiful wife. Youre not my Mother. I
dont know you. My mother would never wear such ragged and ugly clothes, said Malin
Kundang as he release his mother embrace.

Malin Kundangs mother take a step back, MalinYou dont recognize me? Im your
mother! she said sadly. Malin Kundangs face was as cold as ice. Guard, take this old
women out of here, Malin Kundang ordered his bodyguard. Give her some money so she
wont disturb me again! Malin Kundangs mother cried as she was dragged by the
bodyguard, Malin my son. Why do you treat your own mother like this?

Malin Kundang ignored his mother and ordered the ship crews to set sail. Malin Kundangs
mother sat alone in the pier. Her heart was so hurt, she cried and cried. Dear God, if he isnt
my son, please let him have a save journey. But if he is, I cursed him to become a stone, she
prayed to the God.

In the quiet sea, suddenly the wind blew so hard and a thunderstorm came. Malin Kundangs
huge ship was wrecked. He was thrown by the wave out of his ship, and fell on a small
island. Suddenly, his whole body turned into stone. He was punished for not admitting his
own mother.

 $30m Sumatra forest deal in doubt after concerns over funding

THE future of a much-vaunted $30 million Australian project to protect Indonesian forests
for their carbon is in doubt after an independent review found it is not the best use of the
money.

The project on the island of Sumatra was announced by Labor in early 2010 to international
fanfare, but so far there has been little detail about the projects design.

It is understood there has been no actual on-ground work in Sumatra and officials to date
have done research only.

It is the second Australian-Indonesian carbon project to face setbacks. The Herald reported in
March that a $47 million project to restore peatland in Kalimantan, launched in 2007, had
quietly been scaled back and was suffering major delays.

Indonesia is recognised as the worlds fifth-largest producer of greenhouse gases, with 60 per
cent of its emissions coming from rapid deforestation and associated activities.

The review of Australias Indonesian carbon programs, costing $100 million overall, found
the Sumatran project may not be the most effective utilisation of available funding and that
the changing policy context provides an opportunity for reconsideration of the proposal.

A spokesman for the Climate Change Minister, Greg Combet, said Australia was discussing
with the Indonesian government alternative approaches to work in Sumatra.

Work has not started on the ground because we have not yet agreed on the revised scope of
work, the spokesman said.

The Sumatra project is a pilot for a proposed global system, known as Reducing Emissions
from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, in which developing nations could earn money
from carbon credits created from forest preservation projects by selling them to rich countries
for use in meeting their emission reduction targets.

The independent review was handed to the government early last year, but was only
made public by the Australian overseas aid agency AusAID in recent weeks.

It calls for the reconsideration of the Sumatra pilot in light of the challenges and delays in
the Kalimantan project and the emergence of other Indonesian forest schemes, including a $1
billion investment by Norway.
