High Cost Economy in Indonesia

ROOM Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Indonesia assess infrastructure development in Indonesia is still bad. Indonesian infrastructure ranked very low compared to other countries ranked. Infrastructure development to improve the competitiveness of the investment.

Infrastructure is a vital means of support for economic progress, especially to ensure the smooth flow of goods and reduce transaction costs or a high-cost economy.

Deputy Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Information and Communication Technology, Kadin, Smith Suwondo revealed in Serang, Banten, on Friday (5/9), poor infrastructure development in Indonesia. World Economic Forum 2012-2013 report shows, Indonesia ranks 78 out of more than 100 surveyed countries.

The position is even worse than the previous year, ie on 76 ratings. As Singapore is ranked second, ranked Malaysia 32, Thailand ranked 46th, and Brunei rank 57. Indonesia's poor logistical encourage high economic costs, thereby reducing the competitiveness of the investment.

Logistics costs in Indonesia are very expensive, which is about 30 percent of gross domestic product or GDP. To that end, the government and the House of Representatives Chamber of Commerce invites to think clearly so that national budgets are sourced from the business tax and the wider community should be free of waste and free from heavily subsidized.

Kadin expressly asked the government to cut the subsidy of Rp 150 trillion to make available a larger budget for regional development, particularly in the area of infrastructure development. Allowance for funds allocated to each province of Rp 4 to Rp 5 trillion. Thus, there is a strong impetus for development in the area. Kadin center also encourages local Chamber of Commerce to be able to touch the small and medium enterprise sector for equity in economic development.

Kelihan the Chamber of Commerce, in fact, has become a classic. On the other hand, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Hatta Rajasa, said the government continues to reduce the high costs of economic constraints. Steps to reduce the high cost economy continue, including through the development of infrastructure such as toll roads, expansion of ports, making port cleaning.

However, it must be recognized, only recently, the government boost infrastructure development. Similarly, the government continues to reduce bureaucratic barriers, regulations that hinder investment and combating bribery and corruption.

Previously, a number of businessmen complained that production costs are still high. The employer rate is still a lot of homework to finish government. In fact, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has been confirmed to continue to suppress and reduce the high cost economy.

In addition to infrastructure development, the various regulations that impeded investment climate was reviewed. The central government has evaluated the 13,520 regulations that hamper the environment, and local regulations 824 has been canceled.

High cost economy can not be separated system of government bureaucracy convoluted that the business climate. Permit issues are complicated and time consuming investment is very disturbing. In addition, labor costs in Indonesia are often mixed with political affairs. In fact, the political and economic affairs, not to be confused because it is very detrimental to investors.

When yoked to political problems in the economy, economic activity will interfere with the interests of stakeholders. On the other hand, Indonesia needs investment that quickly broke down in the middle of the world economy today. Current economic situation became the right moment to be able to attract more investors. Again the world economy on the brink of a crisis and face uncertainty.

However, precisely the right moment to establish policies that support investment in Indonesia. Incentives such as tax holiday and tax allowance between five years and 10 years will increase investment. Incentives are very important. If there is no incentive, investors coming into the country difficult. The amount also depends on the amount of investment incentives and the location of their investment.

About the bureaucratic obstacles that the business climate, it's not a new discourse. At the very least, obstacles and problems that must be addressed government, namely the eradication of corruption, improvement of infrastructure, and bureaucratic problems. Efforts to eliminate these obstacles will stimulate economic growth in the future.

PARAMORE - STILL INTO YOU

PARAMORE - STILL INTO YOU LYRICS 

Can't count the years on one hand

That we've been together

I need the other one to hold you.

Make you feel, make you feel better.

It's not a walk in the park

To love each other.

But when our fingers interlock,

Can't deny, can't deny you're worth it

Cause after all this time.

I'm still into you

I should be over all the butterflies

But i'm into you (I'm in to you)

And baby even on our worst nights

I'm into you (I'm into you)

Let em wonder how we got this far

Cause I don't really need to wonder at all

Yeah after all this time

I'm still into you

Recount the night that I first

Met your mother

And on the drive back to my house

I told you that, I told you that I loved ya.

You felt the weight of the world

Fall off your shoulder

And to your favorite song

We sang along to the start of forever

And after all this time.

I'm still into you

I should be over all the butterflies

But i'm into you (I'm in to you)

And baby even on our worst nights

I'm into you (I'm into you)

Let em wonder how we got this far

Cause I don't really need to wonder at all

Yeah after all this time

I'm still into you

Some things just,

Some things just make sense

And one of those is you and I

Some things just,

Let em wonder how we got this far

Cause I don't really need to wonder at all

Yeah after all this time

I'm still into you

Keanekaragaman Bangsa Indonesia dan Potensi Konflik

BAB I

PENDAHULUAN

 

Indonesia adalah negara kepulauan terbesar di dunia yang terdiri dari 13.487 pulau, oleh karena itu Indonesia  disebut juga sebagai Nusantara. Indonesia adalah negara berpenduduk terbesar keempat di dunia. Selain memiliki banyak pulau, Indonesia jg memiliki banyak keanekaragaman suku, ras, agama dan budaya.  Semboyan nasional Indonesia, "Bhinneka tunggal ika" ("Berbeda-beda tetapi tetap satu"), berarti keberagaman yang membentuk Negara. Namun memiliki banyak keanekaragaman suku, ras, agama dan budaya sering kali meimbulkan perbedaan pendapat dan konflik. konflik diartikan sebagai suatu proses sosial antara dua orang atau lebih (bisa juga kelompok) dimana salah satu pihak berusaha menyingkirkan pihak lain dengan menghancurkannya atau membuatnya tidak berdaya. Tidak satu masyarakat pun yang tidak pernah mengalami konflik antar anggotanya atau dengan kelompok masyarakat lainnya, konflik hanya akan hilang bersamaan dengan hilangnya masyarakat itu sendiri. Konflik dilatarbelakangi oleh perbedaan ciri-ciri yang dibawa individu dalam suatu interaksi. perbedaan-perbedaan tersebut diantaranya adalah menyangkut ciri fisik, kepandaian, pengetahuan, adat istiadat, keyakinan, dan lain sebagainya. Dengan dibawasertanya ciri-ciri individual dalam interaksi sosial, konflik merupakan situasi yang wajar dalam setiap masyarakat dan tidak satu masyarakat pun yang tidak pernah mengalami konflik antar anggotanya atau dengan kelompok masyarakat lainnya, konflik hanya akan hilang bersamaan dengan hilangnya masyarakat itu sendiri. Dari banyaknya konflik yang terjadi di Indonesia saya akan membahas tentang “Konflik yang terjadi di cibitung”

 

 

 

 

 

BAB II

PEMBAHASAN

Cibitung merupakan salah satu kawasan industri yang berada di kabupaten Bekasi. Sehingga banyak orang berdatangan ke Cibitung untuk mencari pekerjaan. Sehingga banyak pendatang yang tinggal di Cibitung. Dengan beranekaragamnya penduduk mungkin akan banyak juga perbedaan-perbedaan pendapat yang dapat menimbulkan sebuah konflik. Seperti konflik yang terjadi antara 2 daerah di cibitung yaitu Rawa Citra (DMC) dengan Selang. Konflik ini sudah terjadi turun menurun. Perdebatan antara dua daerah ini menimbulkan tawuran di bulan ramadhan. Konflik ini terjadi akibat saling ejek dan salah paham dari kedua kubu. Meskipun sudah banyak korban, konflik ini selalu terulang setiap tahunnya. Awalnya konflik ini terjadi antara kampung selang tengah dengan rawa citra (DMC). Namun karena kekompakan warganya, selang cironggeng, selang nangka, selang cau, dan selang bulak ikut bergabung. Konflik ini terjadi di perbatasan antara Selang dengan Rawa citra yaitu di Gobel. Meskipun sering kali sudah ada pejanjian damai tetapi kedua kubu seringkali masih melanggarnya. tapi apupun penyebab terjadinya konflik tersebut tidak sedikit pula yang menilai terjadinya konflik itu karna adanya banyak perbedaan atau banyaknya keanekaragaman yang menjadi satu disana .namun mengenai konflik yang terjadi antara selang dengan rawa citra saying mengambil kesimpulan bahwa kedua kubu ini mengadu gengsi dan ingin menujukan siapa yang paling kuat.

Beckfest

Mungkin ini acara musik ke dua yang rata-rata bergenre metal yang saya datangi. Kali ini acaranya di bekasi square Karna memang saya tidak begitu suka dengan music yang genre metal,  yah paling tidak saya terkadang masih mendengar heavy metal . karena akhir-akhir ini saya sedang terjaring virus heavy metal hahaha.

Line up beckfest antara lain morfem, besok bubar, seringai, the s.i.g.i.t , burgerkill dan lain-lain. Tetapi tujuan saya  datang ke acara music ini hanya untuk melihat seringai dan the s.i.g.i.t. seringai band asal Jakarta yang bergenre heavy metal dan the s.i.g.i.t band dari mandung yang bergenre  rock/ blues. Sudah jauh-jauh hari saya merencanakan bersama teman-teman saya untuk dating ke acara music festival bekasi ini.  Saya, icun, egi, vikry janjian di tempat yang sudah kami tentukan. Dan saya dating paling terakhir hehe.

Sesampainya di bekasi square jam 17.30, banyak sekali orang-orang memakai baju hitam. Sepertinya bekasi square akan menjadi lautan hitam hahaha. Dan Langsung saja kami menuju acara yang berada di rooftop bekasi square itu. Ketika di ticket box mba2 yang menjaganya bertanya “ mas kamu sudah 18 tahun kan?” lalu saya menjawab “oh iya, sudah kok. Sudah lebih malah” si mba-mba nya pun menjawab “ oh udah lebih, habis mukanya masih babyface gitu” . kita pun tertawa bersamaan. Waktu itu sudah ada band death metal yang sudah on stage. Tetapi saya tidak tahu nama bandnya apa. Mereka membawakan 4 lagu. Singat cerita sehabis magrib mulailah morfem, band asal Jakarta yang di pentoli oleh jimi multazam ini on stage. Semua penonton pun mulai merapat ke depan panggung, termasuk saya. Morfem membawakan sekitar 6-7 lagu (saya lupa) tetapi yang saya hafal lagunya hanya yang berjudul “Gadis suku pedalaman” dan “who stole my bike”. Emang dasar ya anak band, ketika membawakan lagu gadis suku pedalaman jimi sesekali menggoda para gadis-gasis SPG yang yang sedang menjual rokok.  Aksi panggung yang sangat apik dari morfem ini terutama sang vokalis (jimi) yang membawakan lagu dengan ciri khasnya. 

foto-foto morfem

Akhirnya pun giliran besok bubar, besok bubar ini nama band ya. Bukan menyuruh penonton untuk bubar loh hahaha. Besok bubar ini band grunge asal Jakarta. Seprtinya sih sudah om-om untuk penonton semuran saya. Lagu-lagu mereka identik dengan kritikan-kritikan untuk pemerintah. Mereka membawakan sekitar 7-8 lagu.

Pukul 08.045 waktunya band idola saya, yaitu seringai. Band yang di pentoli arian ini membukanya dengan lagu “di larang di bandung” mereka membawakannya dengan penuh semangat beberapa penonton pun ikut moshing. Jarak saya dengan panggung hanya beberapa meter saja. Cukup puas melihat penampilan mereka. Seringai membawakan sekitar 8 lagu yang di tutup dengan lagu. Dan ini beberapa foto seringai yang saya ambil

Setelah selesai seringai pukul 09.30 mulailah The s.i.g.i.t, band asal bandung yang di pentoli rekti ini paling di tunggu2 para wanita, karena  ketika the s.i.g.i.t on stage di samping kiri kanan saya banyak sekali wanita. Mereka  pun ikut sing a long ketika the s.i.g.i.t membawakan lagu andalan mereka yang berjudul “black amplifier”. Dan ini beberapa foto yang saya ambil

Akhirnya sampailah di penghujung acara, jam 10.30 band metal asal bandung yaitu Bugerkill pun naik panggung,. Band yang di pentoli Vicky mono ini membawakan lagu-lagu cadasnya. Tetapi ada sedikit penampilan mereka yang mungkin agak berbeda. Biasanya mereka menggunakan celana tentara. Tapi untuk kali ini tidak. Mereka terlihat tampan meski sudah om-om untuk remaja semuran saya hehehe. penonton pun sangat antusias menyambut salah satu guest star di acara ini  mereka menyambutnya dengan mospit dan moshing  Ini beberapa foto yang saya ambil: 

oke cukup sekian review tentang backfest dari saya. mohon maaf apabila ada salah penulisan. Seperti yang dibilang kang soleh solihun, karena manusia tak pernah luput dari kesalahan, sempurna hanyalah milik allah dan andra and the backbone hehehe. sampai jumpa di festival musik selanjutnya
