Nunun, where are you ....

THE Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has sent officials to Singapore to bring for questioning a suspected go between in a high-profile bribery case that has implicated dozens of former and current legislators. 

Commission chairman Busyro Muqoddas said that in the past month the antigraft body had been searching for Nunun Nurbaeti, who is accused of distributing traveller's checks to several legislators in return for their support for Miranda S. Goeltom during the 2004 election of a Bank Indonesia deputy governor. 

'The search is still underway. We have approached her family to inform us on her whereabouts, ' Mr Busyro was quoted as saying by Antara after delivering a lecture at the Bandung Institute of Technology on Wednesday. 

Nunun is believed to be a key witness who can reveal the names of bribe payers in the Bank Indonesia bribery case, which politicians said was politically charged. Nunun, a socialite and friend of Miranda, is the wife of former national deputy police chief Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) lawmaker Adang Dorodjatun. 

Nunun is reportedly ill and now receiving treatment in Singapore. Nunun's family refused to disclose the location of the hospital where Nunun is being treated, insisting that she is too ill to testify in the case. 

'We hope we can find her. We'd be grateful if her family was willing to help us or if Bu Nunun had the heart to come to us herself,' Mr Busyro said

Greenpeace boycott Palm oil products Duta Palma

Environmental organization Greenpeace India has demanded that all Indian palm oil importers and corporate consumers immediately stop palm oil sourcing from Indonesian companies like Duta Palma who make palm oil by destroying forests and tiger habitat in Indonesia. An investigative report issued by Greenpeace Indonesia released on Thursday links India's growing palm oil imports and corporate apathy to Duta Palma's destruction of hundreds of acres of Indonesian rainforests and tiger habitat in complete disregard of Indonesian government&# 39;s moratorium on such activities in the rainforest. Big Indian corporates like Ruchi Soya, Adani -Wilmar, Godrej Industries, Parle, Britannia are among many who use Indonesian palm oil in their products on a large scale.  "Duta Palma's dirty oil could well be entering into their supply chains. Yet, so far, no Indian company has taken any visible steps to clean up their supply chain, to delink their brands from the ...

Blasphemy in the name of religion

The Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC) wishes to bring the attention of the Human Rights Council (HRC) to violations of the right to the freedom of expression and opinion that are being engendered through the use of Indonesia’s legal provisions prohibiting blasphemy. Religious blasphemy is prohibited in Indonesia under Law No. 1/PNPS/1965, with such provisions also being later adopted within the Penal Code (KUHP) under Article 156a. Paragraph (a) of this article uses vague language, which opens the door to abusive uses of this provision, to prohibit any acts and expression of views considered to be blasphemous, and carries a maximum punishment of five years imprisonment. A similar maximum punishment is also carried by paragraph (b) of the article, which prohibits any acts and expression of views calling for others to embrace atheism. Alexander Aan is an atheist currently undergoing a trial at the Muaro Sijunjung District Court, West Sumatra. According to his lawyers from ...

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 ...
