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 ...

If Soeharto became National Hero

Three short years after his death, Indonesia's dictator Suharto has been   nominated to a shortlist to be designated a "National Hero." The final decision   rests with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. and any honors will likely be   announced on November 10, Heroes’ Day. President Obama is scheduled to visit  Indonesia around that date.  After Suharto died in January 2008, Indonesia's former dictator General Suharto   has died in bed and not in jail, escaping justice for his numerous crimes in   East Timor and throughout the Indonesian archipelago. One of the worst mass   murderers of the 20th century, his death tolls still shock... We cannot forget that the United States government consistently supported   Suharto and his regime. As the corpses piled up after his coup and darkness   descended on Indonesia, his cheerleaders in the U.S. welcomed the "gleam of   light in Asia." In the pursuit of realpolitik, U.S. administration a...

The complicated policies to overcome congestion in Jakarta

A young woman, carrying her infant son in a sling around her neck, stands in the shadows of a decaying concrete pylon, her hand extended in the hope that a passing motorist will pick her up. Maya Sari, 23, and one-year-old Muhammad are ''jockeys''. Jakarta motorists pay to carry them in peak hour traffic, because to legally travel on the city's best roads, cars need three occupants. Babies count, and they cost less to hire than an adult, so on feeder roads all over the city, women and their young children stand touting for business. One ride with them costs the driver about 20,000 rupiah, or $2.15. As Jakarta's population grows in wealth, 565 more cars and 3006 more motorbikes clog its roads every day. According to one official report, this city with a daytime population of 11 million is just nine years away from being gridlocked. When it rains and the roads flood, many areas are there already. It's the most immediately obvious of Indonesia's profound ...
