Malaysia - Indonesia, the two neighboring countries are arrogant

Malaysia will not apologize to Indonesia for handcuffing three Indonesian enforcement officers and making them put on inmatewears.

Malaysian Foreign Affairs Minister Anifah Aman made this remark here on Thursday after receiving an Indonesian youth delegation.

Anifah said that if the Malaysian police were acting in accordance with the proper procedures, other countries should respect the process and therefore, the question of asking for an apology did not arise.

At the same time, Anifah said the Malaysian government would not request the Indonesian government to apologize for the quarters who had thrown human faeces into the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta, capital of Indonesia.

Anifah said that the irresponsible action did not reflect the Indonesian government's and majority Indonesians' stand, adding that the Indonesian government had not instigated them to do so.

However, Anifah hoped that the Indonesian government would take stern actions against individuals who were found responsible for the incident that had tarnished both Malaysia's and Indonesia's images.

Local media reported that a group of Indonesians protested in front of the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta on Monday.

While human faeces was thrown into the compound of the embassy, a Malaysian flag was also stomped and smeared with faeces in front of the building.

The root cause of the incident was the arrest of three Indonesian enforcement officers alleged of trespassing the Malaysian waters recently.

The colleagues of the three Indonesian officers had earlier arrested seven Malaysian fishermen whom they claimed had encroached into the Indonesian waters.

The incident has sparked anger among Indonesians, resulting in a group of protesters throwing human faeces into the Malaysian Embassy in Indonesia.

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...

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 ...
