@calvinelcheng Yeah, no. This shouldnโt become Indonesia vs Singapore. Follow the concessions, follow the ownership, follow the money. Whoever has jurisdiction should act. ASEAN has breathed this haze for far too long for another blame game. Enough.
@antonioguterres@UNPeacekeeping@UN Want to break stereotypes about Muslim countries? Show them Indonesia sending peacekeepers to protect strangers of every religion. That is what tolerance looks like in real life. And honestly, in a world where China still restricts Muslim identity, this matters even more.
I don't find the test lame at all. It is actually pretty fitting. First of all it is a line from the end of a Beatles song which in itself brings the connection to McCartney already and then I also personally see a connection between Metzger's October Dream and the beginning of the text "And in the end..." since the month of October is known to represent an ending. IMO this fits very well.
@anwaribrahim Jerebu ini reminder keras kalau masalah lingkungan di ASEAN memang nggak bisa diselesaikan sendirian. Begitu asap lintas batas, koordinasi juga harus lintas batas. Yang penting jangan cuma ramai pas krisis, habis itu lupa lagi.
Yang bikin greget, Indonesia sebenarnya nggak kekurangan research. Data ada, ahli ada, rekomendasi juga ada. Tapi terlalu sering mentok di laporan. Lihat China, mereka agresif banget pakai pengetahuan buat kepentingan negara, termasuk kontrol dan power. Kita nggak perlu tiru sistemnya, tapi pemerintah harusnya belajar serius dengerin sains.
@amani_zang One thing Indonesia gets right is proving that Muslim life and tolerance can exist side by side. The lesson from the CCP should be to fear coercion and state control, not to treat an entire religion as something people need to escape.
@IrawanRommi Kalau institusi cuma dianggap bagus saat keputusannya menguntungkan kita, berarti dari awal yang dibela bukan institusinya, tapi kepentingannya.
@Rainmaker1973 Palangkaraya looks like another world, but this isnโt a movie effect. People have to breathe this air. Forest and land fires should never be treated as "normal".
@lukedepulford Everyone wants a tougher China policy until you ask who actually understands the system they are dealing with. Without serious research, strategy becomes guesswork. And we in Indonesia cannot afford that either. Just sayinโ.
@aik_arif Nah ini kenapa korupsi terkait bencana terasa jauh lebih kejam. Yang dicuri bukan angka di spreadsheet. Itu masker, obat, logistik, alat pemadam, dan waktu yang seharusnya dipakai buat nyelametin orang.
@dinopattidjalal Pak Dino, saya malah curiga jawabannya bukan satu nama ๐ Politik kita terlalu sering berharap publik lupa versi lama setelah versi baru keluar. Masalahnya sekarang semua pidato, janji, dan pernyataan punya arsip.
@JWUpacific Six birthdays behind bars turns an abstract debate about national security into something very concrete. A young activist ages through his twenties in prison while the legal boundaries around dissent keep tightening. Hard to read that timeline and not feel the weight of it.
@ConversationIDN Ini siklus yang harus diputus. Anak sedikit bikin beban merawat lansia makin berat. Beban makin berat bikin generasi muda makin ragu punya anak. Kalau kebijakan cuma nyuruh orang โayo menikah, ayo punya anakโ tanpa beresin biaya care, ya masalahnya muter terus.
