THE TAJDID MOVEMENT of MUHAMMADIYAH in ACEH Negotiating Identity Between Salafism and Modernism1 Jurnal Tarjih - Volume 13 Nomor 2 (2016), hlm. 155-170 THE TAJDID MOVEMENT OF MUHAMMADIYAH IN ACEH Negotiating Identity Between Salafism and Modernism1 Niki Alma Febriana Fauzi2 Academy of Islamic Studies, University of Malaya, Malaysia e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract The Muhammadiyah movement aims to stimulate religious life according to Koran and Sunnah. Nevertheless, many Indonesians still believe that Muhammadiyah refuses to recognize local cultural heritage and traditions. This paper discusses two aspects of Muhammadiyah, namely Salafism and modernism, as elements of tajdid (renewal) that encourage modernity in Aceh. The spirit of tajdid in Muhamadiyah’s perspective has two meanings: (1) purification in akidah and ibadah (worship) in line with the practices of Prophet Muhammad SAW; and (2) tajdid means dynamizing people’s lives with a creative spirit that is suitable to the challenges and demands of modern era. Keywords: Muhammadiyah, tajdid, Aceh, religious movement. 1. The early version of the paper was presented at the International Conference and Cultural Event (ICCE) of Aceh, September 26-28, 2016, Monash University, Australia. I wish to thank Mr. Richard Wallis for editing the English. 2. The author acknowledges financial support from theIndonesia Endowment Fund for Educa- tion (LPDP).

  • Parliamentary Team Visits M'sia Over Workers Issue
    04 FEB 2002 Indon-Team PARLIAMENTARY TEAM VISITS M'SIA OVER WORKERS ISSUE JAKARTA, Feb 4 (Bernama) -- A five-member team of Indonesian parliamentarians flew to Kuala Lumpur this afternoon to appeal to the Malaysian government to relax its decision to reduce the number of Indonesian workers in the country. The team, led by a Deputy Speaker of the People's Representatives Assembly, Muhaimin Iskandar, comprises Sabam Sirait who is also head of the Inter-Parliamentary Committee, Bachrum Rasir, Happy Bone Zulkarnain and Posma Lumban Tobing. Muhaimin, who is responsible for parliamentary affairs on the people's welfare, told reporters before leaving for the Malaysian capital that during the two-day visit the team would hold discussion with Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Syed Hamid Albar. He was confident that with the close working relationship between the parliaments of the two neighbouring countries, an amicable solution to the problem could be reached. Indonesia had been worried by Malaysia's drastic action in deporting thousands of its workers as this could put pressure on unemployment at home where almost 40 million people are already without jobs. The move was prompted by a series of criminal incidents involving Indonesian workers, the latest being the violent riot at a textile factory hostel in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, and the fight among themselves in Cyberjaya. Indonesia has not only apologised for the rampage but also appealed to Malaysia to continue giving Indonesia priority in its recruitment of foreign workers. Displaying concern over the issue, President Megawati Sukarnoputri last Friday sent Justice and Human Rights Minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra as her emissary to discuss matters affecting Indonesdian workers.

Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum sebagai produk politik hukum justru tidak menempatkan para kandidat yang akan bertarung dalam Pemilihan Presiden dan Wakil Presiden Tahun 2019 dalam posisi yang adil dan setara.

This is open access article under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 International License The Legal Politics of Recall Right of Political Parties Relevance with the System of Popular Sovereignty In Dynamics of the Constitution of Indonesia Malicia Evendiaa,*, Armen Yasirb, Yulia Netac, Ade Arif Firmansyahd a,b,c,dFaculty of Law Lampung University, Lampung, Indonesia *e-mail : [email protected] Abstract: The existence of regulation of recall rights of political parties as regulated in Law No. 17 of 2014 and Law No. 2 of 2008 bring a great influence on the position of legislative members. Based on these rules, legislators may be dismissed from their positions if proposed by Political Party. This certainly brings a polemic for the people as the sovereign owner, who have chosen their representatives through the electoral process, but when chosen representatives of the people can be dismissed from his position by a political parties through the mechanism of the right of recall. This research was done by doctrinal method approach as well as the use of the statute, historical, and conceptual approach. This results showed that the legal politics of recall right of political parties is actually only used as an instrument of the political parties in controlling its members in parliament in order to always adhere to the party's policy direction. This makes the recall right political party is legal products that characterized conservative or orthodox. The existence of a political party's recall rights order gives a great authority to the political parties to negate the result of the people's choice as the holder of sovereignty for the sake of the political party.

  • In Search of Hegemony: Islamism and the State in Indonesia
    In Search of Hegemony: Islamism and the State in Indonesia LUQMAN NUL HAKIM This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Melbourne February 2019 Declaration I certify that this thesis is the product of my own research, fewer than the maximum word limit in length, and contains no material which has been accepted as part of the requirements of any other degree at any tertiary education institution, or any material previously published by another person except where due reference is made. Luqman Nul Hakim i Abstract In post-authoritarian Indonesia, but particularly following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Islamism has become a contentious matter of scholarly debate. The prominent accounts emerging from security and democratisation studies place much analytical weight on ideology and culture by often portraying the relationship between Islam and politics in essentialist fashion, associating the dynamics of Islamism with interpretations of Islamic doctrine or the contest between moderate and radical Muslims. The institutionalist literature, on the contrary, explains the rise of Islamism as the result of the weak capacity of the state following the fall of the centralised New Order authoritarian regime. Another variant draws attention to the moderation of Islamic politics as the result of participation in democratic processes, especially electoral politics. Yet, such linear and teleological explanations obscure the complex circumstances that establish the different trajectories of Islamism. They also fail to comprehend how the prevalence of Islamist discourse on power struggles in the current democracy can produce a more conservative and illiberal form of Islamism. In contrast, this thesis utilises the politics of hegemony approach as developed in the traditions of political discourse theory.

  • Popularitas, Akseptabilitas, & Elektabilitas Kandidat Calon Presiden
    www.poltracking.com TEMUAN SURVEI NASIONAL PERSEPSI DAN PERILAKU PEMILIH MENJELANG PILPRES & PILEG SERENTAK 2019 “PETA ELEKTORAL & SKENARIO POROS KOALISI PILPRES 2019” TEMUAN SURVEI NASIONAL: 27 JANUARI – 3 FEBRUARI 2018 LATAR BELAKANG 2 Secara umum, pencalonan kandidat (candidacy) atau candidate nomination dalam banyak kasus dan kajian akademis telah menjadi residual function alias fungsi yang tersisa dari banyak fungsi partai politik seperti agregasi, representasi, dan sosialidasi politik. Diluar fungsi kandidasi, fungsi-fungsi partai politik sudah banyak pudar dan digantikan oleh institusi-institusi demokrasi lainnya seperti NGO, Ormas, dan Media. Parahnya, tendensi ini terjadi di banyak negara (Norris, 2008), termasuk Indonesia. Tetapi, pencalonan kandidat presiden di Indonesia mempunyai konsekuensi serius pada tiga isu elektoral sekaligus: partai politik, incumbency (pemerintahan/partai yang berkuasa) dan pemilih itu sendiri. Konsekuensi pertama, pencalonan presiden berimplikasi serius pada relasi antarpartai (interparty politics). Hak kandidasi presiden tetap berada dan dipegang oleh partai politik sebagai satu-satunya lembaga yang diakui konstitusi (UUD pasal 6A), namun partai ‘terpaksa’ harus saling merapat/menjauh karena prasyarat ambang batas pencalonan 20% yang baru saja diputus Mahkamah Konstitusi. Apalagi sistem kepartaian multipartai ekstrem di Indonesia—dimana tidak ada partai dominan bahkan partai yang melebihi 20% kursi—menyebabkan pencalonan presiden di Indonesia menggiring partai-partai untuk saling berkompromi baik secara ideologis maupun pragmatis. TEMUAN SURVEI NASIONAL 1200 RESPONDEN Temuan Surnas: 27 Januari – 3 Februari 2018 LATAR BELAKANG 3 Konsekuensi kedua, tingkat kepuasan publik terhadap kinerja inkamben (Job Approval Rating) merupakan pintu masuk penting untuk membaca trend dukungan terhadap inkamben baik presiden, wakil presiden, maupun para pembantu presiden (menteri). Tingkat kepuasan ini berkorelasi kuat pada trend dukungan dalam kontestasi politik elektoral.

  • MEGAWATI TOLD to DISCUSS WORKERS ISSUE with DR MAHATHIR (Bernama 07/02/2002)
    07 FEB 2002 Indon-Bomer MEGAWATI TOLD TO DISCUSS WORKERS ISSUE WITH DR MAHATHIR JAKARTA, Feb 7 (Bernama) -- President Megawati Sukarnoputri should discuss with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad Malaysia's plan to halve the number of Indonesian workers in that country. She should also take up with the Prime Minister, Malaysia's introduction of a "hire Indonesian last" policy, a former Manpower Minister Bomer Pasaribu has suggested. Bomer, who is also the Director of the Centre for Labour and Development Studies, said that Indonesia needed to make extra efforts to prevent the straining of bilateral ties between Indonesia and Malaysia, a country that had offered many job opportunities to Indonesian workers. "Megawati should address the matter personally with Dr Mahathir because the jobs of hundreds of thousands of Indonesian workers are at stake...what will their families eat, when they come back to Indonesia without a job?," Bomer was quoted as saying by the English daily "The Jakarta Post". He said sending ministers to Malaysia to deal with this messy issue was not going to bring about any change. Dr Mahathir himself had been making the policies and this issue needed to be dealt with at national level or Indonesia risked worsening its ties with Malaysia, he said. Indonesian workers had been involved in a series of incidents with the latest being a rampage at a textile factory in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, on Jan 17, and three days later fighting broke out among themselves at Cyberjaya near Kuala Lumpur. In the latest development over the issue, Malaysia had decided to retain only those hired as maids and plantation workers.

  • Don't Fight the Current
    Don’t fight the current Taye Shim ([email protected]) Head of Research / Strategist Mirae Asset Sekuritas Indonesia Research Emma Fauni ([email protected]) Research Associate Mirae Asset Sekuritas Indonesia Research June 26, 2018 Don’t fight the current . Turbulence driven by external factors: It has been a rollercoaster ride for the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) in 1H18. The JCI started off with a good start reaching a year-high of 6,693pt on February 20. However, the upward trend was reversed following the release of Fed minutes hinting gradual monetary policy normalization (rate hikes). JCI continued its downward spiral driven by external issues including nuclear threats from North Korea, rising geopolitical risks in Middle East, US- China trade tensions, etc. How’s the domestic growth story? Macro wise, we think it’s not too hot, not too cold. External issues continue to challenge growth, however, domestic growth is strong enough to cushion the impact (stable consumption and exciting investment growth). Corporate earnings remain elusive amid stubbornly low inflationary backdrop. Indeed, our Universe revenue growth is projected to slip to 9% YoY from 13% YoY (2017). However, considering the gravity of the recent market pullback (-8% YTD), we judge market reaction to be overdone. The unwinding of index funds: Large caps were the darling during the strong inflows driven by global index funds. As market volatility escalates redemption of index funds have relentlessly net sold large caps regardless their fair value. As we expect prolonged strong dollar to prompt Long USD/ Short EM Asset strategy, we think the unwinding process is less likely to be short-lived.
