Jokowi to ‘clobber’ intolerant groups

In September 1989, then-president Soeharto told top editors during a return flight from the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia that his government would defend the state ideology of Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.

Soeharto, who was forced to quit after a bloody riot in 1998, said anything was allowed, including replacing him, as long as it was in line with the Constitution.

“If they want to replace me in an unconstitutional way, I’ll clobber them, whether they are politicians or generals,” he said.

It was the first time Soeharto, who ruled the country for 32 years, used the word gebuk (clobber), which analysts said reflected his anger at alleged plots to oust him at the time.

On Wednesday, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo brought the word back into the country’s political discourse when he told chief editors at the State Palace that he would take firm action against any group that sought to replace Pancasila and the Constitution.

Two years into his presidency, Jokowi has found himself struggling to launch his reform agenda, with rising sectarianism allegedly being used by his political opponents to undermine him.

The issue of sectarianism emerged after Jokowi’s ally, nonactive Jakarta governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama, a Christian of Chinese descent, decided to seek reelection in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. His candidacy, his allegedly blasphemous speech in September and his eventual conviction divided the nation and triggered major rallies by his detractors and supporters.

With hard-line groups such as the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) leading the political rallies against Ahok, his election defeat and conviction are largely seen as a setback for Indonesian democracy and pluralism.

In his strongest statement on the current political situation, Jokowi said, “We do not prohibit people from demonstrating to express their opinions or to assemble. All must be done within the legal corridor. If it is outside the legal corridor, then we should clobber [the perpetrators].”

For Jokowi, words matter. When mentioned by the editors that the word gebuk brought back the memories of authoritarianism under Soeharto, Jokowi said there was no other term that could describe his stance.

“If I say that I will twist [their ears] then I will be considered lenient,” Jokowi said and smiled, adding that any crackdown must be carried out according to prevailing regulations, customs and moral values of the country.

The President said as a democracy, Indonesia guaranteed the right of people to express their opinions, but the government would move against anyone who violated the law when exercising their constitutional rights.

Jokowi said as president, he would do anything to defend the country’s Constitution, adding there was one organization in particular promoting an ideology that contravened Pancasila and the Constitution and threatened the unity of the country.

He was possibly referring to Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), members of which took part in all anti-Ahok rallies. The group has been promoting the establishment of a global caliphate with Indonesia being one of its provinces.

“No, I cannot let them grow [bigger]. I am the president and will comply with the Constitution,” the President said.

During the meeting with the editors, Jokowi also dismissed rumors about a revival of the defunct Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), which Jokowi’s family had been accused of being a part of. “What PKI? If it is revived then let’s clobber it! The TAP MPR [the Provisional People’s Consultative Assembly] has already banned it.”

Jokowi slammed rumors that he was connected to the PKI. “The PKI was dissolved when I was four years old. How could I be a member of the PKI? It is clear where I was born and who my parents are.”

Political communications expert Effendi Ghazali said the word gebuk had only been used twice in the history of Indonesian politics, first by Soeharto and now by Jokowi, to express anger over something.

“It means that [Jokowi] is very angry [about the situation in Indonesia]. When someone uses the word, they are aware of the consequences and risks they might face,” he told The Jakarta Post.

Effendi said Jokowi’s move to invite chief editors was aimed at gaining support from media outlets with regard to the government’s plan to crack down on any mass organization deemed antiPancasila by the government.

However, Effendi said media outlets should be fair in interpreting Jokowi’s stance on anti-Pancasila organizations and that the government must go through the court system before banning any organization.

“If the government wants to clobber any organization, then it must go through the courts. We should not let the government do so without a judicial process,” Effendi said.

Indonesia mulls campaign against Airbus planes to retaliate against EU

In response to a recent European Parliament resolution to reduce the use of palm oil for environmental reasons and a string of “black campaigns” conducted by European NGOs that suggest that palm oil substances are detrimental to human health, Indonesia is planning a slew of retaliatory measures.

Trade Minister Enggartiasto "Enggar" Lukita said he recently met with his counterpart from the European Union (EU) and expressed his rage, saying that Indonesia would retaliate against attempts to disturb the global sale of palm oil.

"When I met my EU counterpart, I said I would talk to my fellow ministers to start a plan not to buy Airbus planes anymore as they may contain risks of igniting skin cancer. The use of the Thales radar system (made in the EU) also has similar risks of causing skin cancer," said Enggar in a gathering late on Thursday.

"The EU has to prove that palm oil poses a risk to health. Indonesia will do the same thing to Airbus by reviewing whether or not it is safe to fly with the plane."

My 2 cents... Whatever palm oil is good or bad for our health is common knowledge...but most importantly is that is Destroying Indonesia's capital golden treasure...her Forest and Identity...

I understand that it's very important for their economy...but meanwhile they are destroying what is most important for them... Their Land & Future. That thing is an hidden $$ Cancer.

Anyway. Good luck Bro's

Indonesia considers bartering rubber for Su-35 fighters




The Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MoD) is considering bartering rubber as part of an offset programme that will support its proposed acquisition of Sukhoi Su-35 'Flanker-E' multirole combat aircraft from Russia.

Indonesian trade minister Enggartiasto Lukita told reporters in Jakarta on 18 May that the rubber deal was one element of a range of offset activities that were being evaluated by government agencies including his ministry and the country’s attorney general’s office.

“The defence ministry plans to purchase Sukhoi jet fighters and some of [the transaction] will be conducted in the form of barters,” Enggartiasto said.

An official from the Indonesian MoD confirmed to Jane’s on 19 May that the MoD and other agencies were considering a range of options for the Sukhoi programme, including the barter of local commodities, but did not elaborate.
