Appendix 1 WELCOME TO JAKARTA The most modern city in the Indonesian archipelago, Jakarta is the proud Capital of the Republic of (1) Indonesia. (2) It is the seat of the National Government and National Parliament, center of Banking, Finance as well as (3) Business and Trade and the hub of domestic and international air transportation in the country. (4) Founded in the 16th century when the town was already a busy Asian trading port, Jakarta then became (5) the center of administration in the colonial era under Dutch East Indies rule. But it was also in Jakarta (6) where the people of Indonesia declared their Independence on 17 August 1945 from three centuries of (7) being burdened under the yoke of colonization. (8) Today Jakarta is an autonomous province comprising 5 Municipalities and one District, namely Central (9) Jakarta, North Jakarta, West Jakarta, East Jakarta and South Jakarta and the District of the Thousand (10) Islands, or Pulau Seribu in the Bay of Jakarta. The city is cut by no less than 13 rivers with the largest (11) being the Ciliwung river. With a population of over 9 million people, Jakarta continues to spread out to (12) link with its neighboring districts and towns to make up the Greater Jakarta area, popularly known as (13) Jabodetabek, short for the names of the towns of Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tanggerang-Bekasi. (14) Jakarta today is a melting pot of Indonesia’s hundreds of ethnic groups who call this multi-cultural and (15) cosmopolitan capital city “home”. (16) For international Businessmen and Government officials, Jakarta is the city for meetings and (17) conventions, offering large Convention halls for meetings and exhibitions with latest state of the art (18) facilities as well as luxurious hotels with large ballrooms and prime accommodation amenities. (19) For visitors, Jakarta offers the best in Shopping, Entertainment and Leisure activities. People from (20) around the country and abroad come in droves to attend the many national and International (21) Concerts performed here by world’s singing stars. Jakarta is also where to find Fun and Recreation (22) parks for the whole family from the huge Ancol Dreamland with its many heart-stopping rides to the (23) more cultural Taman Mini Indonesia and the popular Ragunan Zoo. There are also plenty of (24) opportunities for world class Golf, and Diving and Beach sports. In this large city is an unbelievable wide (25) choice for Shopping in over a hundred huge modern and fully air-conditioned malls, as well as at South (26) East Asia’s largest wholesale textile market at Tanah Abang, or cute wayside antique stalls at Jalan (27) Surabaya. (28) For lovers of food there is a wide array of cuisines to try from across the Indonesian archipelago – from (29) nasi goreng and satay to rendang and more – as well as from around the world – from Chinese food to (30) 1 Korean, Japanese, Turkish, and European food, or just simple hamburgers or noodles. While in the (31) evenings, numerous hangouts are open to plunge into Jakarta’s exciting nightlife. (32) For the more serious minded and history buffs, do not miss the National Museum, the National (33) Monument and the Textile Museum, and you should visit Jakarta Kota Tua or Old Batavia, the 17th (34) century center of administration and business activities of the Dutch East India Company, VOC. Today (35) around the plaza are a number of Museums from the Wayang Museum to the Bank Mandiri Museum, (36) where you can see banking activities in eras gone by. (37) To see for Chinese Heritage, Jakarta also has its own Chinatown in Glodok and Petak Sembilan. Visit (38) Jakarta’s oldest temple, browse and shop in typical Chinese stores and eat your fill at (39) Pecenongan. While all around the center of town you will also find European buildings, heritage from (40) the Dutch colonial era. (41) Beneath Jakarta’s modernity, the indigenous culture of the people of Jakarta, known as the Betawi are (42) far from forgotten. The Betawi openness, joviality and democratic nature have spread to newcomers (43) permeating everyday life in the capital. The Ondel-ondel, the giant puppets that are the icons of the (44) city, are today an inseparable part of Jakarta. For a glimpse into the life of the Betawi take time to (45) visit Setu Babakan, a true Betawi village. (46) 2 Text 2 consist of 878 words The City Hall The City Hall Building (1) The City Hall of Jakarta is a classic and historical building located on Medan Merdeka Selatan #8. It’s a (2) key part of the office cluster of Jakarta Capital City Government as it’s where the governor and his staff (3) have their office. Before this, Jakarta’s seat of government had relocated several times. When Stad (4) (5) Batavia was established in 1905, which was afterwards renamed Gemeente Batavia, the government (6) had its office at the Stadhuis, a classic 18th century building located at Stadhuisplein (now the Jakarta (7) History Museum and Taman Fatahillah, respectively). As a consequence of progress, the city of Batavia (8) grew increasingly towards the south to eventually relocate its civic center to Weltevreden (now (9) Gambir); the office of Gemeente Batavia, however, became isolated from downtown. (10) Therefore, in 1913, the office of Gemeente Batavia was moved to Tanah Abang West (now Abdul Muis (11) #35, Central Jakarta). Only to be again relocated to Koningsplein Zuid (now Medan Merdeka Selatan #9) (12) in 1919. (13) During Japanese occupancy, between 1942 and 1945, Gemeente Batavia was renamed Djakarta (14) Tokubetsu Shi, though it continued to occupy the office at Koningsplein Zuid #9. This was later renamed (15) Gambir Selatan following Indonesia’s independence. Offices of the city government remained where (16) they were even if the city was given the new title of National Government of Djakarta City; the office (17) building was renamed Municipal Hall of the National Government of Djakarta City. Soewirjo took office (18) as the first mayor. (19) The Dutch occupied Jakarta in an aggression on 21 July 1947. The NICA Government took control over (20) the Municipal Hall and on 21 November detained and banished Soewirjo and city officials from Jakarta. (21) The National Government of Djakarta City was effectively decapitated. On 9 March 1948, the Dutch (22) formed a Pre-federal government which had Jakarta as State Capital and which fell under direct control (23) of the Federal Government. Jakarta was consequently renamed Stadgemeente Djakarta. This name (24) remained in effect until 27 December 1949 when the Dutch Royal Government acknowledged the (25) Republic of Indonesia’s sovereignty. As of 31 March 1950, Jakarta carried the title of Djakarta (26) Municipality and Soewirjo was again appointed mayor. On that very year, Gambir Selatan was renamed (27) Medan Merdeka Selatan. (28) In 1945, during the mayoral tenure of Sudiro, the first expansion of office space for the Djakarta (29) Municipal Government was commissioned in order to allow for broader public service activities. The (30) building at Merdeka Selatan 8, which at the time was the office of the Dutch Royal High Commissioner (31) to Indonesia, was merged with the City Hall while the municipal government handed down a building at (32) Medan Merdeka Barat as replacement. Mayor Sudiro used the building at Medan Merdeka Selatan 8 as (33) a joint office shared with the Gotong Rojong City Council. (34) 3 In 1960, during the tenure of Sumarno, Jakarta was granted the special position of being equivalent to (35) that of First-level Autonomous Region. The Municipal Government of Djakarta Raja was consequently (36) renamed Djakarta Capital City Government (DCI Djakarta for short), headed by a governor. Following (37) the introduction of reformed spelling in 1972, spelling of the official title was altered so that the short (38) form now read “DKI Jakarta”. Going back a little, by virtue of Law No. 120 of 1964, Jakarta was officially (39) the capital city of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. (40) In 1969, to provide proper space for city council sessions, Block C (the Municipal Hall) was built while (41) Block F (4 storeys) was built to meet workspace needs of the council’s secretariat. (42) In 1972, to accommodate the ever-expanding and increasingly varied governance activities and public (43) services, the Jakarta Capital City Government demolished building #9 and built in its place a new 24- (44) storey building. The building, later known as Block G Building, purposed as a “learning” and pilot project (45) for the construction of other high-rises and to be used as reference in the drafting of regulations (46) concerning multi-storey buildings. (47) The entire construction process – from planning and designing to the performing of construction (48) calculations and earthquake-proofing – was carried out by Indonesian experts. The first stage of (49) construction was completed in 1974 and the final stage was ready in 1976. President Soeharto (50) inaugurated the new building on 28 April 1976. (51) In 1972, the office cluster of Jakarta Capital City Government was expanded further to the interior (52) towards Kebon Sirih. The new building was allotted to the Regional Revenue and Treasury Service and (53) named Block H. After that, new buildings were built, namely, in succession, Block D (offices and office (54) facilities, including a bank and a fire department) and Block F (offices, office facilities).

  • Hans Harmakaputra, Interfaith Relations in Contemporary Indonesia
    Key Issues in Religion and World Affairs Interfaith Relations in Contemporary Indonesia: Challenges and Progress Hans Abdiel Harmakaputra PhD Student in Comparative Theology, Boston College I. Introduction In February 2014 Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) published a report concerning the rise of religious intolerance across Indonesia. Entitled Indonesia: Pluralism in Peril,1 this study portrays the problems plaguing interfaith relations in Indonesia, where many religious minorities suffer from persecution and injustice. The report lists five main factors contributing to the rise of religious intolerance: (1) the spread of extremist ideology through media channels, such as the internet, religious pamphlets, DVDs, and other means, funded from inside and outside the country; (2) the attitude of local, provincial, and national authorities; (3) the implementation of discriminatory laws and regulations; (4) weakness of law enforcement on the part of police and the judiciary in cases where religious minorities are victimized; and (5) the unwillingness of a “silent majority” to speak out against intolerance.2 This list of factors shows that the government bears considerable responsibility. Nevertheless, the hope for a better way to manage Indonesia’s diversity was one reason why Joko Widodo was elected president of the Republic of Indonesia in October 2014. Joko Widodo (popularly known as “Jokowi”) is a popular leader with a relatively positive governing record. He was the mayor of Surakarta (Solo) from 2005 to 2012, and then the governor of Jakarta from 2012 to 2014. People had great expectations for Jokowi’s administration, and there have been positive improvements during his term. However, Human Rights Watch (HRW) World Report 2016 presents negative data regarding his record on human rights in the year 2015, including those pertaining to interfaith relations.3 The document 1 The pdf version of the report can be downloaded freely from Christian Solidarity Worldwide, “Indonesia: Pluralism in Peril,” February 14, 2014.

  • Only Yesterday in Jakarta: Property Boom and Consumptive Trends in the Late New Order Metropolitan City
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 38, No.4, March 2001 Only Yesterday in Jakarta: Property Boom and Consumptive Trends in the Late New Order Metropolitan City ARAI Kenichiro* Abstract The development of the property industry in and around Jakarta during the last decade was really conspicuous.
