Cendana" Family's Wealth May be Confiscated as Guarantee



The state attorney team from the Attorney General's Office (AGO) is of the opinion that the assets of Suharto's beneficiaries can be included in the list of guaranteed confiscation in the Supersemar Foundation civil case. According to Yoseph Suardi Sabda, one of the attorneys from the AGO, it can be the responsibility if the foundation's assets are insufficient to meet the claim's value. "The AGO can include it by a request during the trial," he said in Jakarta last Saturday (2/2).

Before confiscating the guarantee, said Yoseph, the state attorney will make the effort to monitor the assets of Suharto's beneficiaries. "The monitoring can be performed and the permit can be requested by replacing the position of defendant Suharto," he said. "So that if there are liabilities to paid, it won't be constrained. ."According to a civil law expert from Padjadjaran University, Isis Ikhwansyah, confiscating the assets of Suharto's beneficiaries as guarantee can be performed in a civil case. "As long as they are Suharto's personal assets," he said.In order to trace Suharto's personal assets, the AGO can intervene as the third party. The right time for the AGO to do the trace, according to Isis, is when there is another civil dispute in the defendant's internal suit.According to Isis, the main requirement to confiscate the assets of Suharto's beneficiaries is when there are indications of transfer to the beneficiaries as regards the assets.Before he died, Suharto was the defendant in the Supersemar Foundation civil case.With Suharto's death, the South Jakarta District Court's panel of judges asked the defendant to decide the beneficiaries as the defendant's replacement.

According to the state attorney, Suharto's replacement is his six children.Suharto's legal advisor, Mohammad Assegaf, said that the AGO is not authorized to monitor the assets of late Suharto's beneficiaries. "There's no legal connection between the Supersemar Foundation civil case and Suharto family's assets," he said yesterday (4/2). "That is beyond privacy,"The plan to confiscate the assets was not thought to be effective by Emerson Junto from the Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) Working Body. According to him, the category of wealth resulted from corruption by Suharto's beneficiaries and Suharto's personal wealth is difficult to prove."Moreover through a civil claim."

child sex workers in Bandung

A policeman, right, watches over two masseuses and their customers during a raid on suspected prostitution activities at a hotel in Changchun, in northeast China's Jilin province The Bandung authority is at loss to uncover cases of covert prostitution involving junior and senior high school students, whose number continues to rise in the West Java capital. Eli, a sex worker advocacy program mentor from the Rumah Cemara Group in Bandung, said it was hard to provide advocacy to teenagers involved in covert prostitution since most were not receptive. The number of those involved in covert prostitution is believed to be higher compared to commercial sex on the streets, she added. Eli has been providing support to more than 200 housewives and child sex workers over the past two years, around 20 of who are senior high school students between the ages of 15 and 16. "They are psychologically unstable at those ages. They are hard to handle due to their strong motivation to ea

Bricklaying in Aceh

Refleksi: http://www.thejakartapost.com/detaileditorial.asp?fileid= 20070405. F07&irec= 6 Bricklaying in Aceh I was looking back the other day at a letter in the British newspaper The Times as written by Professor H. H. Turner in January 1925, who was challenging the government's statement that a good British bricklayer would lay 500 bricks per day which made him the best in the world.The professor claimed to have found one bricklayer who dealt with 2000 bricks in eight hours and another one who laid 890 bricks in just one hour -- one presumes the brickie ran out of steam after a while. It made me wonder just how many bricks were being laid in Aceh province, bearing in mind the climatic differences between gloomy old England and sun-drenched Indonesia. The heat factor alone could well in fact reduce the work rate by up to fifty percent, and then of course there are the incentive factors of salary and working conditions. An English bricklayer in 1925 would have earned about one

Debate Islam in Indonesia

http://www.thejakar taglobe.com/ opinion/interloc utors-of- indonesian- islam/560447 Interlocutors of Indonesian Islam Ahmad Najib Burhani | December 08, 2012 A few months ago, the Japanese anthropologist Mitsuo Nakamura told me that studying Nahdlatul Ulama as an organization was beyond the imagination of any American scholar from the 1950s to the ’70s. But he is not the only academic to have noticed this. George McT. Kahin of Cornell University stated the same thing. Even NU-expert Martin van Bruinessen was not expecting to study NU as his primary focus when he came to Indonesia for the first time in the 1980s.   During the early decades of Indonesian independence, NU was relatively unorganized and its management was largely based on the authority of religious teachers ( kyai ). Of course there were a number of scholars who studied NU-affiliated religious schools ( pesantren ) and its kyai, but not NU as an organization.   Even though NU was one of the winners o
