  • Govt Eases PSBB, Claims Infection Rate Slowing Friday, May 8Th, 2020
    Subscribers copy, not for distribution th Friday, May 8 , 2020 GENERAL NEWS AND HEADLINES Govt eases PSBB, claims infection rate slowing The Jakarta Post, Headline As countries around the world gradually relax their pandemic policies, Indonesia appears intent on easing its large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) amid claims of a slowing rate of COVID-19 infection. About a month after the introduction of PSBB, which is in force in four provinces and 12 cities or regencies nationwide, the government announced this week that it would grant exemptions to its travel restrictions. The national COVID-19 task force chief, Doni Monardo, said the government decided to grant exemptions to ensure the smooth transportation of medical kits and viral specimens, as well as the mobility of medical personnel and those from other sectors. Exemptions are also given to state officials, private sector workers and state- owned enterprise (SOE) employees, particularly those who provide health services, basic necessities, security and defense and vital economic functions. Repatriated Indonesian nationals, individuals in need of emergency medical care and family members of deceased individuals are also allowed to travel, with exemptions beginning Thursday. Confidence is high among officials that the country will be able to enter its “new normal” by July or August, after Doni claimed Monday that the rate of transmission had slowed to around 11 percent. However, on Tuesday, Indonesia reported its highest daily increase of confirmed infections with 484 new cases. As of Thursday, the government officially recorded 12,776 infections, 2,381 recoveries and 930 deaths. Experts believe the delayed results of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests and the nation’s low testing capacity have made it difficult to capture the true scale of the epidemic.

  • Promoting Respect for Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms Of
    “Re-shaping cultural policies for artistic freedom” Pre-event Venue: Jakarta Convention Center, Merak Room II Tuesday 2 May 2017 Promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms of expression, information and communication is a prerequisite for the creation, distribution and enjoyment of diverse cultural expressions. These are among the core guiding principles of the 2005 UNESCO Convention on the Diversity of Cultural Expressions and the 1980 Recommendation on the Status of Artists. The recognition and protection of artistic freedom are germane not only to the creative practice of artists themselves but also to the rights of all cultural producers. In the dynamics of social development, artistic freedom is an essential ingredient of the wellbeing of citizens and societies and for the stability of the cultural and creative industry sectors. The growth and flourishing of the latter are striking in countries that respect and protect the freedom of artistic expression. Freedom of expression for artists can be understood as a complex area of issues for policymakers, which includes measures aimed at protecting and promoting the economic and social rights of artists as well as their freedom of movement and of association. During the 2016 edition of World Press Freedom Day held in Helsinki (Finland), Nordic Ministers of Culture adopted a Joint Declaration reaffirming that “Artistic and creative expression, as an integral part of the human right to freedom of expression, is critical both to the development of cultures and to the functioning

  • Kebijakan Taktis Pemerintah Daerah Di Pulau Jawa Dalam Penanganan Corona Virus Desiase (Covid)-19
    57 KEBIJAKAN TAKTIS PEMERINTAH DAERAH DI PULAU JAWA DALAM PENANGANAN CORONA VIRUS DESIASE (COVID)-19 Joko Pramono1, Farco Siswiyanto Raharjo1 Universitas Slamet Riyadi Surakarta [email protected] Abstract. Local governments are the elements most responsible in their regions in handling Covid-19. Regional heads are required to make technical decisions which do not conflict with central government regulations. In handling Covid 19, each regional head was given the authority to carry out tactical policies. This is to suppress the spread of Covid 19 which is increasing day by day. This research method uses content analysis. Content analysis was carried out in a descriptive qualitative manner. The DKI Jakarta Government has implemented Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) to reduce the spread of Covid 19. West Java Province, establishes good communication and coordination with the central government. Then West Java has done quite well based on epidemiological indicators. So that it gets the best Covid 19 handling award in Indonesia. The Central Java provincial government in dealing with covid-19 puts forward preventive or preventive aspects. This condition can be seen from the community safari carried out by the governor of Central Java in order to provide socialization on the handling of Covid-19. East Java Province applies a cross-sectoral policy strategy. This policy involves several parties, including universities.

  • Anies Baswedan: His Political Career, COVID-19, and the 2024 Presidential Election
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 48 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 19 May 2020 Anies Baswedan: His Political Career, COVID-19, and the 2024 Presidential Election Ahmad Najib Burhani* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The rising popularity of Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has led his political rivals to fear that he will have little difficulty winning the presidency in 2024 under the current electoral system. They have therefore proposed a return to a non-direct election system. • Anies was known to be a progressive Muslim intellectual. However, many people wondered whether he had changed after how he conducted himself during the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election. He allied with the FPI (Islamic Defenders Front) and rode the wave of Islamist populism roused by the 212 movement. His inaugural speech as Jakarta governor in October 2017 hinted at his alignment with pro-pribumi sentiments. • Many people are also doubting his ability as a national leader. Although he is an eloquent orator capable of “hypnotizing” his audience, the lack of development in Jakarta under his leadership is being portrayed by critics as an indication of his incompetence. • Anies Baswedan can still redeem his image and reputation if he is able to lead Jakarta out of the COVID-19 pandemic. This crisis provides him with the chance to win hearts and minds, and to be a steppingstone for his bid in the 2024 presidential election. * Ahmad Najib Burhani is Visiting Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute and researcher at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Jakarta. He wishes to thank Norshahril Saat, Made Supriatma, and an anonymous reviewer for their comments and suggestions on this article.

  • Jokowi Selects a Cabinet Fit for His Agenda Michael Gill
    Jokowi selects a Cabinet fit for his agenda Michael Gill Indonesian President Joko Widodo has chosen a Cabinet lineup that aligns neatly with his preferences for a conservative reform agenda built on tangible economic and social outcomes. Ignoring opposition within his own PDI-P, President Widodo brought the opposition Gerindra party into his Government, appointing as Defence Minister his direct Presidential opponent Prabowo Subianto. Notionally, 75 per cent of members of parliament are now supportive of the Government. Realistically, the options for building a majority coalition on any major issue are expanded to the extent that Gerindra is now committed. Two central figures retained their roles. Sri Mulyani Indrawati is again Finance Minister, contrary to suggestions that she had been asked to take a “wider” role. Luhut Pandjaitan, personal ally and “fixer” for the President, retains his influential role as Co-ordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment. New Ministers were installed in two portfolios where the President had been frustrated with a lack of progress. Arifin Tasrif, a former CEO of the national fertiliser enterprise, is recalled from Tokyo – where he had been Ambassador since 2017 – to take on the immense challenges as Minister for Energy and Mineral Resources. As Minister for State Owned Enterprises the President chose his campaign chief, Erick Thohir. Son of Teddy Thohir, former co-owner of the Astra group, Erick Thohir heads TNT Group which has interests in energy, food, property and media sectors. Together with some other new appointments, the Cabinet’s composition is boosted in line with the President’s literal focus on outcomes in infrastructure building, bureaucratic reform and investment promotion.
