SMART FM and ILO Interactive Talkshow: “The Long Journey of Justice for Indonesian Migrant Workers” Jakarta, 5 October 2011 Background Growing numbers of Indonesian women and men continue to opt for overseas labour migration as the best way of securing an adequate income for their families and escaping poverty. However, the social and economic costs of migration to the workers and their families are many, but are often poorly understood and documented. As the second largest sending country, some 700.000 documented Indonesian migrant workers leave the country for work abroad, primarily in East and South East Asia as well as the Middle East. Of these, 78 per cent work as domestic workers. In 2009, around 4.3 million Indonesians were estimated to be working abroad. Even though Indonesian migrant workers are the second largest contributor to Indonesia’s foreign exchange incomes, amounting to about USD 2.4 billion annually, many of these “foreign exchange heroes” experience exploitation and abuse throughout the migration process, both in Indonesia and abroad. Objectives The talkshow aims to raise awareness about the plight of Indonesian domestic migrant workers in Indonesia and to stimulate an interactive discussion by participants on the importance of the ratification of the international instruments on migrant workers to provide better protection to the Indonesian migrant workers. The talkshow will also be live relayed in four cities: Jakarta, Medan, Semarang and Makassar. Resource Persons Reyna Usman, Director General of Manpower Placement and Empowerment, Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration; Muhammad Ansor, Director of Human Rights, Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Okky Asokawati, Parliament Member of Commission IX; and Anis Hidayah (Director of Migrant Care).

Institutional Strengthening in Waste Management in Medan, Binjai, Deli Serdang, Karo (Mebidangro) Hatta Ridho1, M. Arif Nasution2, Subhilhar3, Muryanto Amin4 1,2,3,4 University of Sumatera, Indonesia [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Keywords institutional strengthening; Weak coordination can also be seen in the achievement of cooperation agreements between regions in the Mebidangro area. mebidangro; waste area For example, how the weak coordination between Pemko Medan and Pemko Deli Serdang resulted in the closure of the TPA Namo Bintang in Pancur Batu sub-district, even though Presidential Decree No. 62/2011 has designated TPA Namo Bintang together with TPAatuh in Medan Marelan as a garbage landfill for residents of Medan city. Weak coordination certainly requires institutional strengthening that can ensure synergy among government ranks in the Mebidangro area to be able to overcome problems faced together. This research was conducted in the Mebidangro area by using qualitative which focused on the problems that existed at the time of the research or the actual problems as well as the facts about the problems being investigated as they were, accompanied by sufficient rational interpretation. Data collection techniques through observation, interviews and limited group discussions. The character of the Mebidangro implementing organs has not shown an orderly working mechanism, where the two main components of the character of the implementing organs, namely the SOP and the division of tasks / authorities between the provincial government and district / city governments as well as between district / city governments throughout the Mebidangro region do not exist.

M. ISA SULAIMAN and GERRY VAN KLINKEN The rise and fall of governor Puteh This chapter started life with only one author, M. Isa Sulaiman. Four days after presenting it at the authors’ conference in Jakarta on 22 December 2004, he was among those who died in the great tsunami that struck Aceh (see in memoriam in this volume). Henk Schulte Nordholt and I decided as editors that the orphaned chapter should pass into my foster-care for the final phase. Isa had lived at our house in Leiden for five months in 2003, where he and I talked often about Aceh. I dare to think he would agree with the way it has been taken forward. He is responsible for all the factual material (drawn from local news clippings and interviews with many of those named). My part has mainly been to step back from it and say why it was important to write this, as well as to make explicit some theoretical understandings that lay hidden between the lines. He was particularly impressed with a chapter on Aceh in David Brown’s ‘The state and ethnic politics in Southeast Asia’ (1994). Some of Isa’s masterly command of detail had to be sacrificed in the interests of the less specialized reader. Gerry van Klinken Introduction Understandably enough, most media reporting on Aceh before the tsunami was about the war. It focussed on the two armed parties, Indonesia’s armed forces TNI (Tentara Nasional Indonesia) and the Acehnese liberation army GAM (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka). This has also been true of scholarly work on Aceh.

The Poor Legacy of Sumatra
CHAPTER IX The poor legacy of Sumatra The Capuchin friar Anthonius Brevoort opens his 1993 dissertation on the first decade of the Capuchin mission in Sumatra (1911-1923) with a chapter on the previous Catholic presence in Sumatra. The disputed Christian community of Fansur or Baros is mentioned as recorded by Saleh al-Armini around 1150-1171. Franciscans in Aceh who were the first martyrs around 1642 are mentioned, as well as the mission in Bengkulu in the early 1700s, when some 300 Catholics were counted. But after that time, only decline is recorded for the history of Catholicism in Sumatra. The nineteenth century did not bring much growth either. An earlier colleague of Brevoort, the Capuchin priest Gentilis Aster, thus started his history of the mission with the sad title De magere boedel, the poor legacy. ‘Catholics were late, had no proper strategy, and did not concentrate in their work on the vast island of Sumatra’ (Brevoort 1993, Aster 1961).1 The cultural, economic, and religious pattern of Sumatra around 1900 was much more diverse than that of any of the other large islands, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and perhaps even Papua. The diversity was not only evident among the inland regions, the people living in the mountains of the Bukit Barisan, and the inland tribes of Batak, Gayo, Minangkabau, Jambi, Lampung. There were and still are great differences among the coastal re- gions as well: the Malay sultanates of the east coast, Java-oriented Palembang, the proud and independent Aceh, just to mention a few of the important cultures.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 the Background of the Study Indonesia
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Background of the Study Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country with a tropical climate and very humid which its resources not only merely in natural diversity, but also in cultural diversity that can support the growth of tourism and hospitality industries. Those potential resources make tourism and hospitality sectors become important components of the national economy (Indonesia Travel, 2004). Moreover, tourism and hospitality industries offer excellent employment and business opportunities. The industry is progressing very fast in all parts of the world and is growing to be the largest provider of employment opportunities in the century. In education and training sector, the number of tourism education programs and facilities in the world is still quite small in relation to the size of the sector despite the rapid growth of tourism (UNWTO, 2002). There are still the needs for education and training at all levels to meet the needs of professionals and management roles, to occupational, skill-specific training programs and a need for standardization in the education and training system to meet demand for skilled labor in the tourism industries. Regarding the hospitality and tourism education growth, then in 1997 the government founded Medan Tourism Academy (Akademi Pariwisata Medan: AKPAR Medan) as one of government tourism schools in Indonesia. But 1 2 historically, the first hospitality and tourism education in Indonesia at a diploma level was first offered in Hotel and Restaurant Academy (Akademi Perhotelan dan Perestoranan : APP) in Bandung, as a public school and it was followed by the opening of Tourism Training and Education (Balai Pendidikan dan Latihan Pariwisata) in Medan.
