Fuel Prices Must Go Up?



A number of economic observers, even the Government itself more amenable if fuel prices raised by reducing subsidies. The reason, the policy restrictions on the fuel subsidized consumption, by means of redirecting the fuel to gas is difficult to be implemented for the near future.

"So indeed, in November (2011), I've said if raising the price for now is the sooner the better," said the Wakil Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources), Widjajono Partowidagdo, in Jakarta, Saturday (27/1/2012).

He argued, if there is no increase in subsidized fuel prices that marks no policy at all. Due to the fuel subsidies itself already reached Rp. 165 trillion. Plus more the magnitude of the electric subsidy that also caused by fuel consumption is due to reach Rp 90 billion. Total subsidies because of subsidized fuel means reaching to Rp 255 trillion.

"Whereas the oil income of us Rp. 272 trillion. So Rp. 272 trillion taken from Rp 255 trillion. When the Rp 255 trillion it could for various things, could make the poor into the opposite, infrastructures, could make an area more advanced, and so on," added Widjajono.

Economic observers Chatib Basri voiced similar tones. Chatib says, if the government wants to reduce the fuel consumption is subsidized so the government should create a policy that not elaborate. "Therefore if want to make a policy so make an easy policy, dont intricate administration, dont intricate the monitoring," said Chatib.

Restrictions on fuel consumption, he rated that this such a complicated policy. The Government should check whether if any gas station there is a black market. According to him, should we place a police in gas station to keep an eye on fuel selling. "So the most straightforward from here actually is just raise it (fuel prices) up," said him.

At most, he said, additional inflation at most are just 3 percent. This increasing price is also no evidence could overthrow the government. For example, when the government of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (the president) raised fuel prices in 2008, and he could be elected again in the following year. "No proof or evidence that this government fell because of it (the increase in fuel prices)," concluded Chatib.

Deputy Director of ReforMiner Institute, Komaidi, has said, a number of stakeholders are not prepared with the policy restrictions of the infrastructure. Therefore, this research institute said, Government should raise the price of premium and diesel fuel with a range increase of Rp. 1.000-1.500 per liter. While continuing the program of gas-fuel for transportation.

Bogor Botanical Garden Will Preserve Corpse Flower

Visitors of corpse flower (Amorphophalus titanum) in Bogor Botanical Garden,
West Java, on Wednesday (30/11/2011)



Bogor - Kebun Raya Bogor (Bogor Botanical Garden) will cooperate with an international horticulture organization from South Korea for preservating a species of corpse flower, Amorphophallus titanum.
"So far this corpse flower just grown up, blooming, withered and dormant. That's all. Therefore, we will try to work closely with South Korea for preserving this flower in order to public can see the interestof this flower when blooming," said Yuzammi, a researcher of corpse flower from Bogor Botanical Gardens in a press conference, Friday (27/1/2012) in Bogor.

The cooperation came out with respect to a requests to fulfill the Indonesia pavilion in a flower exhibition in South Korea. Amorphophallus titanum became one of the flowers which dated, but difficult to show off because its blooming age is very short. Then preservation is needed.

Cooperation effort pursued because of the preserving difficulty measures such as giant Amorphophallus titanum.
"It's a lot of preservation techniques. But we have to find the way how to the preservation dont change the original colour of the flower. This is one of the barriers that must be solved through research," said Yuzammi.

The processed flower later will be displayed in a transparent container. It will be a wet herbarium, so it will appear as plant in an aquarium containing a chemical preservative.
"For this step, there is so much of the technical barriers that make us have to work together. This giant-sized flowers that we have to find a giant container that can also shore up this interest. It also would have required large amounts of chemicals," says Dra. Sofi Mursidawati M.Sc. who also a researcher at the Bogor Botanical Garden.

Cooperation plan has not yet been signed, but now has already an intense contact with South Korea party. Meanwhile, the flower that will be the object of preservation is Amorphophallus titanum at Bogor Botanical Garden that will bloom in a few days ahead. When in bloom, the flowers will be deducted and transferred to the container for preserved.

At first glance, this preservation effort impressed detrimental. However, Sofi revealed that the efforts have to be done." We have to think differently. Not locked up on one's point of view," decisively Sofi. Through the efforts of preservation, various studies on Amorphophallus can be done too.
"If we made it, we can try to do on the type of the other giant flowers. In Indonesia there is also a giant Orchid, we will also be able to do these type of preservation," She said.

Preservation can also be used for the benefit of public awareness of biological diversity in Indonesia as well as non-scientific benefit.
"In the future, the preservation collection can be in the museum, enjoyed by a lot of people. In addition it may also be used as a state presenting. The President could give to another head of state. This will be its own prestige," said Sofi.

As an attempt "to change" the cutted individual, Sofi and her partner also researched for propagation of Amorphophallus titanium. Now there are hundreds seed of these type obtained through tissue culture.
In collaboration with preserving, Sofi and colleagues propose that the process be done in Indonesia. Thus, many parties from Indonesia who can learn about the technique of preserving a giant flower.
Unknown yet, how old the blooming age that can be achieved after the preserved. However, the experience of Japan, the processed Rafflesia flowers can reach up to 3 years. Amorphophallus titanum including rare flower in Indonesia.
This flower is one of 18 species of endemic corpse flower in the country. The individual flowers are also getting more and more difficult to find.

UI Not Yet Willing To Respond The Audit Results of BPK



Jakarta - A spokesman for the Universitas Indonesia (UI) Devie Rahmawati said it has yet to get a report on the findings and results of the audits that done by Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan /KPK (Financial Examiner Agency) regarding to the management of the university. The findings show the existence of a loss potential of the country worth Rp 45 billion in the UI management in Depok, West Java.

However, Devie denied the findings of BPK that Devie stated there are allegations of abuses related to the transfers of land belonging to the UI (PGT dorm) at Pegangsaan Timur, Central Jakarta, with PT NLL, which was carried out without the approval of the Kementerian Keuangan/Kemkeu (Ministry of Monetery). She says, UI will prompt the BPK report and will provide an explanation regarding the findings.
"We haven't receive that report yet. About it please check to the Kemkeu," said Devie, Friday (20/1/2012), in Jakarta.

Separately,  Direktur Jenderal Pendidikan Tinggi Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan/Dirjen Dikti Kemdikbud (The Director General of Universiy Education of the Education Ministry and Culture), Djoko Santoso argues, BPK is indeed already deliver that what became the findings in UI. However, it should not see the results of the audit by one side.
"The findings of the CPC is not necessarily the existing abuses. It could by any problem of administration that have yet to be resolved by UI," said Djoko.

He also stated, the issue has always been the findings is administration, because it is not accordance with existing provisions. There are also findings of assets in university. It's became a problem because the asset is used by others is still that the status still owned by the state, within the responsibilityy of government dependents or still in use by the community.

As reported, BPK discovers the existence of a potential state's loss of Rp 45 billion in the management of UI in Depok, West Java. It is known after an audit done.

Member of the BPK, Rizal Jalil, said, the potential loss of state occurs in two cases. First, cooperation agreements related to the transfers of land belonging to UI (PGT dorm) at Pegangsaan Timur, Central Jakarta, with PT NLL. Cooperation, Rizal said, without acknowledgement and written consent of the Menkeu. The project was judged potentially detrimental to the state of up to Rp 41 billion.

BPK suspected, Rector of UI performs the same work, unbeknownst to approval of the Menkeu as the officials appointed to manage the assets of the country. It conflicts with constitutions, PP No. 6/2006 and No 38/2008 abour the assets of the country.

Second, the Rector of UI is not closely in the implementation of the valued collaboration with JICA (Japan) to build Rumah Sakit Pendidikan UI/ RSP UI. Construction of RSP is late so the country must pay overdue penalty amounting to 38.508.859 yen or about Rp. 4 billion.
