  • THE BARISAN NASIONAL II Chedet.Co.Cc September 22, 2008 by Dr
    THE BARISAN NASIONAL II Chedet.co.cc September 22, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. When the Barisan Nasional did very badly in the March 2008 general elections, all the component parties except those in Sabah and Sarawak experienced losses as they had never done before. 2. In the aftermath of the elections, the component parties pointed accusing fingers at each other. Very quickly they were at each other's throats. 3. There were talks about leaving the BN. And now we are seeing the first party to do so and to become an independent party. 4. Where before all parties avoided raising sensitive issues in public, now in the name of democracy and liberalism sensitive issues are brought up in which the component parties of the BN make known the differences in their view. The result is to widen the divide separating the BN component parties. 5. When Ahmad Ismail made unpalatable remarks about the Chinese, it was made out that it was the view of UMNO itself. Far from denying it, the UMNO leadership accepted the blame and apologised. This solved nothing as the Chinese parties refused to accept the apology but demanded the culprit himself should apologise. 6. He refused and UMNO whose president heads the Government suspended Ahmad for three years. This may satisfy some Chinese but almost immediately the Government arrested a Chinese MP under ISA. The effects of Ahmad's suspension have been nullified. 7. Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays. Party-wise UMNO is angry with Gerakan and MCA and Gerakan/MCA are angry with UMNO.

  • Contraceptive Use Pattern Among Married Women in Indonesia
    Contraceptive Use Pattern among Married Women in Indonesia Ria Rahayu 1 Iwu Utomo 2 Peter McDonald 3 1. Indonesia National Family Planning Coordinating Board (BKKBN) 2, 3. The Australian Demographic and Social Research Institute, The Australian National University Paper presented at the International Conference on Family Planning: Research and Best Practices, November 15-18, 2009, Kampala, Uganda. Abstract Background For almost 40 years fertility in Indonesia has declined steadily. The total fertility rate (TFR) declined from 5.6 children per woman in 1967-1970 to 2.6 children per woman in 2007. Much of the decline is due to an increase in the contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) from 18% in 1976 to 61% in 2007. This reflects the success of the national family planning program in Indonesia implemented by the National Family Planning Coordinating Board (BKKBN). However, the policy of decentralization has brought fundamental changes to family planning program management since it was officially implemented in 2004. With decentralization, the BKKBN no longer has authority over regional governments because they have their own authority and right to make policies autonomously and to organize their budgets independently. The BKKBN cannot simply order local governments to increase their family planning’s budgets. Furthermore, the decentralized government structure provides challenges for BKKBN in promoting family planning programs where they have stagnated. Commitment and support by regional governments for the family planning program varies depending on their perceptions of the importance of the program for their district. In 1997 (before decentralization), the contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) was 57.4 percent and in 2007 (after decentralization) it was 61.4 percent.

  • Må Sanningen Segra Även Om Livet Går Under– En Studie Om Att Minnas Glömma Och Förlåta Offentliga Orätter
    Södertörns högskola | Institutionen för historia och samtidsstudier. Kandidatuppsats 15hp | Idéhistoria| Vårterminen 2013 Må sanningen segra även om livet går under– En studie om att minnas glömma och förlåta offentliga orätter. Av: Kristina Falk Handledare: Magnus Rodell Examinator: Lena Lennerhed 1 Abstract En svensk delegation om fyra personer från Vänskapsföreningen Sverige- Kampuchea, var inbjudna av Pol Pot att besöka Kambodja under hösten 1978. Efter hemkomsten till Sverige vittnade samtliga av delegationens medlemmar om en lyckad revolution och förnekade att det skulle pågå ett folkmord i landet. Genom utställningen Middag med Pol Pot år 2009 på Forum för levande historia, blev den svenska delegationens resa till Kambodja åter igen ett hett ämne för debatt i media. Denna studie ämnar visa hur två av dessa personer valde att hantera problematiken kring att tidigare aktivt ha försvarat ett land och dess ledare, Pol Pot, som under sitt styre var ansvarig för att upp till två miljoner människor dog. Jag har med denna studie sökt visa hur personer genom att aktivt sprida åsikter i olika media med syfte att påverka den allmänna uppfattningen av ett fenomen, med stor sannolikhet leder till att personen blir en del av den offentliga debatten. Vidare har min ambition varit att påvisa att det med offentligheten följer ett ansvar och att ansvaret för det tidigare handlandet inte bara kan försvinna eftersom att de offentliga budskapen förblir offentliga. Titeln till denna uppsats ”Må sanningen segra även om livet går under” är hämtad från Alf W. Johanssons svenska översättning av Nietzsches, Om historiens nytta och skada (1998). 2 Innehållsförteckning 1.

  • Obstacles to Women's Political Participation in Indonesia
    International IDEA, 2002, Women in Parliament, Stockholm (http://www.idea.int). This is an English translation of Khofifah Indar Parawansa, “Hambatan terhadap Partisipasi Politik Perempuan di Indonesia,” in International IDEA, 2002, Perempuan di Parlemen: Bukan Sekedar Jumlah, Stockholm: International IDEA, pp. 41-52. (This translation may vary slightly from the original text. If there are discrepancies in the meaning, the original Bahasa-Indonesia version is the definitive text). CASE STUDY Obstacles to Women’s Political Participation in Indonesia Khofifah Indar Parawansa The history of the representation of women in the Indonesian parliament is a long process in terms of the struggle of women in the public sphere. The first Indonesian Women’s Congress in 1928, which prompted the emergence and increased women’s nationalist spirit, is a turning point in history because of the Congress’ role in improving opportunities for Indonesian women to participate in developing, including in political development. In the first general election in 1955, 6.5 percent of those elected to the parliament were women. Following this election, women’s representation has ebbed and flowed, peaking at 13.0 percent in 1987. In 2002, women constituted 8.8 percent of elected representatives. The under-representation of women in parliament is due to a range of obstacles limiting their progress. Thus a range of strategies must be studied simultaneously to overcome these obstacles, so that the goal of increased representation of women in parliament becomes a reality. This case study presents the levels of women’s political representation in Indonesia, and examines some of these obstacles. It also presents various strategies that may be considered to overcome the problem of under-representation.

  • The Influence of Global Muslim Feminism on Indonesian Muslim Feminist Discourse
    THE INFLUENCE OF GLOBAL MUSLIM FEMINISM ON INDONESIAN MUSLIM FEMINIST DISCOURSE Nina Nurmila The Postgraduate Program of the State Islamic University (UIN) Bandung, Indonesia Abstract Since the early 1990s, many Muslim feminist works have been translated into Indonesian. These are, for example, the works of Fatima Mernissi, Riffat Hassan, Amina Wadud, Asghar Ali Engineer, Nawal Saadawi, Asma Barlas and Ziba Mir-Hossaini. These works have been influential in raising the awareness of Indonesian Muslims concerning Islam as a religion which supports equality and justice, but whose message has been blurred by patriarchal interpretations of the Qur’an which mostly put men in the superior position over women. Influenced by Muslim feminists from other countries, there has been an increasing number of Indonesian Muslim scholars, both male and female, who have challenged the existing male biased Qur’anic interpretations on gender relations. These scholars, for instance, are Lily Zakiyah Munir, Nasaruddin Umar, Zaitunah Subhan, Musdah Mulia and Nurjannah Ismail. This paper aims to shed some light on the influence of non-Indonesian Muslim feminist works on Indonesian Muslim feminist discourse. It will also discuss some of the reactions of Indonesian Muslims to the works of Muslim feminists. While some argue for the reinterpretation of the Qur’anic verses from the perspective of gender equality, others feel irritation and anger with the contemporary Muslim feminist critique of the classical Muslim interpretations of the Qur’an, mistakenly assuming that Muslim feminists have criticized or changed the Qur’an. This feeling of anger, according to Asma Barlas, may be caused by the unconscious elevation in the minds of many Muslims Nina Nurmila of the classical fiqh and tafsir into the position of replacing the Qur’an or even putting these human works above the Qur’an.
