If I were him I would go for it while his record is goodand before the inevitable disasters Jakarta face every year are blamed on him!Now what that would mean for Jakarta is that Vice Governor “Ahok” wouldbecome Governor becoming the first ethic Chinese to do so and bring hisabsolute no - nonsense approach to the top, whereas he is the “bad cop” toJokowi’s “good cop” at the moment. Could be interesting.Whatever happens we face a year of challenge. The fundamentals of a goodeconomy are really not there despite the worldwide hoo-ha that’s been goingon, praising Indonesia’s “economic miracle”. According to me, it’s just not true.What we have seen is a consumer retail and real-estate led spending boom,backed up by automative sales and commodity exports, but the completelack of legal certainty (the absolute TOP judge in the country was apparentlyfound taking bribes and drugs!), a totally substandard infrastructure,nationwide combined with a workforce that wants more money without moreproductivity, honestly means we have got serious problems. It is not a rosyscenario.Maybe the new President and his new team will attack all of these challengesand solve them, but with the best will in the world that won’t start till 2015...So tighten your belt, and keep working, it could be a bumpy year!But whatever you do, keep smiling, enjoy life to the fullest, and never give up.Alistair Speirs6 JANUARY 2014 www.nowjakarta.co.idwww.nowjakarta.co.id JANUARY 2014 7

Business & EconomyBusinessin IndonesiaText Elisabeth Giovani | Illustration SUDIGDOIndonesia is appealingto a large numberof business peopleand investors whorecognize its potentialgrowth in business.The Indonesianarchipelago has hugedomestic consumptionas well as a wealth ofnatural resources.Improving economiccompetitiveness by creatinga more salutary businessclimate is one of Indonesia’snational priorities for2010 to 2014. Making it easierto do business and invest alsohelps promote sustainableurbanization, another ofIndonesia’s key nationaldevelopment objectives.According to World Bank,Indonesia continued toimprove its business regulatoryenvironment for localentrepreneurs in the year fromJune 2012 to June 2013 byimplementing its 10 th regulatoryreform since 2009.Gross domestic product increased 5.62percent in the three months endedSeptember 30 from a year earlier andIndonesia’s foreign direct investmentrose 18.4 percent last quarter from ayear earlier, after increasing about 19percent in the April-June period.However, with this year’selections, foreign directinvestment in Indonesia hasfallen in US dollar terms for thefirst time in two years. Seeingthe unexpected downfall, WorldBank recently downgradedits GDP growth forecasts forIndonesia to 5.2 percent nextyear.Investment Coordinating Boardsaid that the country may easelimits on overseas holdings inits telecommunications andpharmaceutical industries.The government will allowforeign ownership of as muchas 100 percent on airports,airport services and ports, 49percent ownership limit for filmdistribution businesses. Whileinvestors from ASEAN countrieswill have the opportunity toown up to 51 percent of localadvertising businesses.Business Monitor Internationalforecasted that oil and gasreserves will most likely be on adownward trend in the comingdecade. Oil reserves are expectedto decrease from an estimate of4.0bn barrels (bbl) of oil at thebeginning of 2013 to 3.7bn bbl in2017, falling further still to 3.4bnbbl by 2022. For gas reserves areforecast to fall from 3.07tcm in2013 to 2.80tcm in 2017 and fallfurther to 2.51tcm unless thepace of drilling activity picks up.Seeing the government schemeright now, Oxford Business Grouppredicted that all Indonesianswill have some form of healthcoverage by 2019, up fromaround 50 percent at present.The system will provide insuranceto millions who lack access toemployer-sponsored plans andcannot afford private coverage,but it is also likely to stretchcapacity at state hospitals andclinics. The rise in demand forpublic services is expected topush more affluent Indonesianstoward private sector medicalcare, seeking either faster orhigher quality service.The industrial sector is thesector that currently contributesmost to Indonesia’s annual GDPgrowth. The two most importantsub-sectors of industry aremining and manufacturing,both being major pillars of thenations’s economy since the1970s.

Business & EconomyJan OudemanThe Young EntrepreneurName: Jan OudemanAge: 27 “years young”Nationality: DutchMarital Status:Married “to the most beautiful girl of mylife – we met for the first time in Francewhen I was 13 years old - Gabrielle DeborahRemmelzwaal”.Qualifications:Bachelor in Business EngineeringMaster in Business AdministrationOccupation: Co-Founder of Grivy.comBusiness Motto: Take Every Opportunity“Success” is… building something out ofnothing that brings value to others – andyourselfInterests: Mountain biking, good wine,exploring.“Simple things are good. I havealways wanted to be a farmer -under the Italian sun - with my ownvineyard, livestock and vegetablegarden. Maybe one day I’ll becomeone”.Perhaps not the first thing youwould expect to hear from a“businessman,” but Dutchman JanOudeman, Co-Founder of Grivy.com(more on that later!), is not youraverage stiff, suited executive type.Sharp, smiling and completelyapproachable, he represents thebright, new wave of fresh-faced,creative entrepreneurs who lovewhat they do. Chatting with himone afternoon over a glass of wine,I was happy to discover that heturns the callous, money-hungrystereotype of the businessman ofyore, completely on its head.An adventurer at heart, Jan livedin stunning Cape Town beforereturning to his home countryand catching the travel bug onceagain. “We (Jan and wife, Gabrielle)basically looked at the world mapand since we had never been toAsia we thought Indonesia wouldbe the place to go”.Jan’s adventurous spiritreverberates in terms of businesstoo, with Grivy.com being his thirdbusiness venture at the ripe oldage of 27. “After coming back toIndonesia I knew that getting a jobwould not be easy so I thought itwould be a better idea to createone myself. Together with my cofounder,I came up with the idea tobuild an online platform that helpsusers to discover great deals, offersand promotions using locationbased technology. We have startedwith dining deals where highendrestaurants give interestingdiscounts based on when you dine”.So what motivates this remarkableyoung man? Money? Status?Autonomy?Like all great entrepreneurs, Janis passionate about what he does,he is more interested in “buildinga product that creates value andimpacts the way people do things”.He wakes up every morning with a“big smile,” and insists that “seeingthe business grow on a daily basisis something (he) gets really excitedabout”.As a novice of all things business,I was eager to quiz Jan on what itreally takes to start your very owncompany.What are the qualities of a greatEntrepreneur?Generally, people say the abilityto build and lead great teams,to persevere, to thrive inrisky environments, to focusobsessively on the final goal,and to think long term. What Ivalue most is the ability to buildsomething out of nothing and toconvince people that it will becomereality soon. I am an eternaloptimist (as well as a stubborncontrarian; inherited that from myfather I guess). These two qualitieshelp me to stay focused andpositive.What are the most commonmistakes new business ownersmake?Hiring the wrong people (either interms of qualifications or peoplewho think they are better thaneveryone else), and not doing theeasy things first.Business people are sometimesstereotyped as “ruthless” and“selfish”. Does adopting thesekind of tactics help you to besuccessful?I am competitive and possess thewill to win, but not at all costs.As a Christian I believe that weshould love God and our neighborswith all our heart. Integrity andsportsmanship are qualities that Ihighly value.Is networking really asimportant as people say? (The“it’s not what you know, it’s whoyou know philosophy”)I guess the statement should be “it’swhat you know and who you know”.But yes, networking is extremelyimportant. Making contactsthrough your network is far moreeffective than contacting someoneout of the blue.“To those people who want to starttheir own business but are not surewhether they have the qualitiesto succeed – just do it. When I wasabout 3 years old I remember mysister coming home to explain thatshe could read and write. I wasamazed! I had always thought thatI would never be able to read andwrite and that this was only for veryintelligent and wise people (untilthe day I actually learned how todo it!) So it proved that things arepossible, becoming an entrepreneur isdefinitely worth the try”.www.grivy.com18 JANUARY 2014 www.nowjakarta.co.idwww.nowjakarta.co.id JANUARY 2014 19

Business & EconomyBriefsfrom the Business ChambersThe international Chambers of Commerce represent the vast majority of foreign direct investorsin Indonesia, the multinationals and joint venture companies, whose names are often knownthroughout the world.The Americans through Amcham, the British through Britcham, the Germans Ekonid, the Dutch INA,the Canadians ICCCI, the French IFCCI, the Australians IABC and the Polish Business Club are amongthe more active, but the Scandinavian countries have active bodies as well and Eurocham representsall the European countries. In this section we rerun, with their kind permission, some of the articlesthat these chambers have already researched and made available to their members because they arerelevant to the broader scope of business in Indonesia. Each month we will take extracts from differentsources to keep a balanced viewpoint.Provided bythe IndonesiaNetherlandsAssociationRI’s Economy Projectedto Grow by 5.5% NextYearThe National EconomicCommittee (KEN) has predictedthat the Indonesian economy’sgrowth rate will slip to 5.5percent next year, lower thanthe projected 5.7 percentgrowth rate expected this year.“Indonesia economic growthnext year will not be muchdifferent from the trend seen atthe end of 2013. The economywill grow by an average of 5.5percent throughout 2014,” KENChairman Chairul Tanjung saidat a seminar on Tuesday 3 rdDecember.Chairul also predicted thatthe global economy will berelatively stable and mightslightly strengthen next year.Domestically, the inflationrate could be kept in check.Despite being stable, theglobal economy would stillnot be strong enough to raiseIndonesia’s exports significantly,he said. Negative sentimenttoward the country’s currentaccount deficit would stillpressure the Indonesianeconomy, Chairul pointed out.“This means that there will be agreater chance for our monetaryauthorities implementing atighter monetary policy. BI’srates will not be raised. Thegovernment is expected toadjust its policies in keepingwith Bank Indonesia’s policieswithout having to aggressivelyboost economic growth,” he said.Source: Antara News, 3DecemberIndonesia Plans toBuild 30MW NuclearPower PlantIndonesia’s Research andTechnology Ministry willconstruct a nuclear power plant,a ministry official has said. “Wewill build a nuclear reactor forgenerating power,” Researchand Technology Minister GustiMuhammad Hatta announcedon Friday 29 th November. Thelocation of the nuclear powerplant, which will have a capacityof approximately 30 MW, has notyet been decided.”We have onesmall reactor in Serpong, but itis primarily used for research.It is time to build a reactor thatactually generates electricity,”the minister noted. Thedevelopment of a nuclear powerplant will prove to the worldthat Indonesia has nuclearcapabilities, he added. “We havebeen managing nuclear reactorsfor 30 years quite capably.We also have several nuclearexperts with internationalcertification,” the ministerpointed out. The expectationis that the new nuclearpower plant will be locatedin Bangka Belitung, which isrich in uranium deposits. “Thegovernment is committed tocontinuously disseminatinginformation about nuclearreactors and their developmentto the community,” Gustiadded. According to a surveyconducted by an independentorganization for the NationalNuclear Energy Agency,BATAN, 76.5 percent ofIndonesians approve of nucleardevelopment for scientific andtechnological purposes, suchas energy development, health,animal husbandry and foodsecurity. Another survey in 2013showed that as much as 60.4percent of the public approvedthe construction of a nuclearpower plant.Source: Antara News, 29November2014 Trade as SteppingStone for 2015Trade Deputy Minister BayuKrisnamurthi said 2014 is a yearfor production and trade systempreparation and adjustment.Efforts to increase marketproduction and diversificationby his ministry are expectedto give optimal results in thetrading year 2015.

Business & EconomyApartment Living isGetting Expensive!Text & Photos Gene Sugandyincreasing their service chargesfrom 10 to 13.5% in 2014 totry to recover the significantincrease in the operatingexpenses.When an incomingexpatriate firstrelocates to Jakartathey are facedwith a number ofnew challenges.Finding suitableaccommodationand getting childreninto school are basicphysiological needsthat take priorityand need to beimmediately addressedafter arriving in a newcountry.Because of regulationsforbidding foreignersto own property inIndonesia, all incomingexpats will lease thehome they live in during theirposting. Newcomers are put in adifficult position as they are in a“must rent” situation. Upon arrivalin Indonesia, many foreignersare staggered to learn the policyregarding paying the entire rentfor the duration of the lease upfront. This of course leaves thetenant little if any leverage orbargaining power once theymove into the rental premises.Over the last 10 to 12 monthsnewcomers have expressedsurprise at the price of housingin Jakarta and resident expatshave been aghast at the increasein rental rates they have beenasked to absorb at renewal time.Although economists suggestthat Indonesia will see aslowing in the economy in2014, apartment buildingmanagement and landlordsare currently enjoying a highdemand on prime properties.2013 saw a combination offactors that have causedresidential and commercialprices to increase drastically.Many tenants experienced atleast a 20% increase in rentalprices however in some extremecases landlords implemented a30% - 40% price hike with a “takeit or leave it” attitude.Apartment buildings that aremanaged by an internationalchain are restricted to someextent by global corporatepolicy and have regulatedprice increases yearly. Typicallythese increases are budgetedbetween 10 -15% and tenantsare advised upon signing of thelease to expect yearly inflation.This year however, building andland owners of these apartmentbuildings have been challengedby numerous factors such asmultiple increases in the priceof electricity and a significantincrease in wages. To approbatethese increases owners have notbeen willing to adhere to theusual 10-15% and have askedtheir apartment managementfirms to find other ways tocover these increases. Somemanagement companies havegiven notice that they will beSome apartment buildings donot employ a global companyto manage the building butcomprise of strata title units thatare owned by individuals. In thistype of building, the tenants areat mercy of the owner at renewaltime. There is no managing bodythat dictates the acceptablerent increase per year. This yearthere has been a huge increasein the perceived value of landprices as well as the strata titleapartments. Most of the popularbuildings landlords have beenincreasing rents by at least 20%.These absorbent increases havecontinued to be tolerated dueto the high occupancy rate ofmost of the premier strata titlebuildings in the Central BusinessDistrict. Owners have frequentlybought the apartment as aninvestment property and seekthe highest return on investmentexploiting the current marketsituation to their advantage.Although there is not considereda lack of suitable middle tohigh end housing options inJakarta yet, properties that arelocated close to the Internationalschools in South Jakarta arebecoming limited. Residentiallots in these areas continue tobe developed and owners areaware that at some point theselots will become exhausted. Asthese lots become sparse, thiswill inevitably increase landprices in the areas and force theprices higher and ultimately thisincrease will be passed on to thetenant. Properties that meetthe detailed safety criteria ofmany of the oil and gas industryor homes that are located in agated community are currentlyalmost 100% occupied. If thereis a unit available it is seldomvacant for more than a month.Owners of these properties aresavvy business people and knowthat they can hold out for highermarket pricing.To further compound the rentalsituation, almost always rentsto expats are quoted and paidin US dollars. From June toDecember of 2013 there hasbeen almost a 20% increase inthe exchange rate of the Rupiah.Although in most cases the rentof expats housing is paid by thesponsoring company, seldomhad companies anticipatedsuch drastic increases. Withindications that the Rupiahcould continue to drop in theupcoming year, it is likely thatmore and more companies willbe asking their employees todownsize their residences.Even though there will be a largenumber of apartments beingcompleted in 2014, apartmentbuildings remain very optimisticthat they will be able to maintaintheir pricing and keep theiroccupancy rates very high.Building of standalone housinghowever, is not increasing withthe rate of demand therefore itis highly likely that propertiesin prime locations will not bedecreasing their rents in theforeseeable future. As long asJakarta continues to experiencegrowth and still requires theassistance of expatriates, Jakartalandlords will be enjoyingdictating rental prices but “HomeSweet Home” is not going tocome cheap.28 JANUARY 2014 www.nowjakarta.co.idwww.nowjakarta.co.id JANUARY 2014 29

Now & ThenKids & FamilyTRAINING & DEVELOPMENTOutward BoundWhy We Need to ConstantlyPush Our LimitsText & Photos Outward Bound IndonesiaThe literal definition of OutwardBound is the moment a shipdraws its anchor and sets sail,due to the nautical origin ofthe term. The significance ofthe word is the notion of facingthe unknown and overcomingchallenges. We each have ourown comfort zone, and they areformed by habits, but also byfear of trying something new.However, growth and discoverywill only take place when we stepout of our comfort zone. A wellknown motivational speakerBrian Tracy said, “Move out ofyour comfort zone. You can onlygrow if you are willing to feelawkward and uncomfortablewhen you try something new”.Imagine you’ve been taking the sameexact route from home to work fora whole year and never once tried adifferent way. And one day you decideto try a new route altogether. Howwould this make you feel? Worried thatyou might go the wrong way perhaps?Or disoriented because you’ve neverbeen in the area? There could be 2outcomes, you either get it right orget lost. If the first happens, you’ll feelglad because in the future you couldtake this road again as alternative. Ifthe second happens, then you’ll learnthat there are roads that won’t reachthe destination. Either way, by takingrisks and trying something new, youwill discover something you wouldn’totherwise find and expand yourknowledge about yourself and theworld around you, in other words youwill grow.In Outward Bound, throughphysical challenge, we essentiallyfacilitate individuals to constantlypush their mental limits. When yougo mountain hiking in a group, youare not only responsible to carry yourown backpack. To reach the mountainpeak successfully together, as a teammember you must strive your best tocarry your load, have a positive attitudeand a fighting spirit, you must worktogether, trust each other, rely on oneanother, overcome personal ego, makedecisions that are in the best interestof the team, you must be resourcefuland innovative, you must also becompassionate with one another.Comparatively in a business, in order toachieve success together, your peopleneed to live and breathe those values.In Outward Bound, we helpindividuals to break away from theircomfort zone, and facilitate selfdiscoveryand growth.

Now & ThenKids & FamilyJIS PEDULIClean UpMy Mom and I got up at 6 am to go to “Clean UpJakarta Day,” which started at 7 am. After we gotready, we got into the car. There were severaldifferent areas allocated to be cleaned up but wewent to the one on Jalan Kemang Raya.My Mom met up with her friend who wasorganizer of the group. The organizer thenexplained what to do and we were giventwo bags. One bag had a green check andthe other had red “X”. The green checkbag was for recyclables. The red “X” wasfor non-recyclables. Then she explainedthe difference between the two. She saidwe should put things like glass bottles,plastic, and so on in the recyclable bagand everything else should go in the nonrecyclablebag.JakartaDayWe were then split into two groups.Our group was my Mom and I, and a fatherand son team. My job was to find all therecyclables items. My Mom’s job was topick up non-recyclables. When we weresearching for the things we found lotsof energy drink bottles, tons of cigaretteboxes, and lots of bottle caps. A lot of thestuff was contaminated or burned. MyMom and I thought we would find a lot ofnon-recyclable Styrofoam, but we didn’t.Somebody drank milk and threw it on theground, and when I picked it up some dropsfell on me. I had to use two pairs of gloves. Ichanged the glove because they were gross.When we had finished our portion ofthe road my Mom called her friend to askfor a new area to work on so the organizercame to get us and we were dropped off ata different location and worked there untilthe job was completed. We saw lots of pilesof trash. Eventually we stopped at one point,knowing it was the end of the road.After that we met up with two ladies.They said they found three bras. They evenhad pictures! That was so funny. At the endI saw that there were more non-recyclablesthan recyclables. We finally met up withother Clean Up Jakarta groups that were alsoin Kemang. When we added all the bags upthere was a lot!They had given us gloves and T-shirtsbefore we started. We gave the gloves backat the end but we got to keep the T-shirts.We all went to McDonald’s and took a groupphoto and had some food.

Now & ThenNow Do It!AUSSIE RULESAuskick Family DayRUGBYA Sport for AllText & Photos Adam BrayText & Photos STEPHEN BARBERWhat does a steel worker’s wife from West Java, an AustralianGovernment worker from Brisbane, a 12 year old Muslim girl andan international company have in common?On the surface the answer would appear to be ‘absolutelynothing’ – but on a recent Sunday afternoon in West Java thatcouldn’t have been further from the truth thanks to Moly-Copand the Jakarta Bintangs.Recently Australian Rules footballmade its debut in the industrialcity of Cilegon in West Java.Several families from the JakartaBintangs Football Club togetherwith Indonesian Garudas players made the2.5 hour trek west from Jakarta to facilitatean Auskick Family Day for the steel workers ofMoly-Cop.Held at Krakatau Stadium, the event wasthe brain-child of Adrian Boltong – amember of The 500 Club, and a greatsupporter of football in Indonesia. The 500Club is a sponsorship program that allowsbusinesses and individuals to make a positivecontribution to the Indonesia Garudas entryinto the 2014 AFL International Cup held inMelbourne.Adrian’s idea was to share our great gameof Australian Rules Football with the Moly-Cop community - to help build relationshipswith that local community and to provide itsyouth with a fun, new, healthy and excitingoutlet. The day worked an absolute treat,with in excess of 70 Indonesian boys andgirls of all ages (not to mention 30+ men)discovering and participating in Aussie Rulesfor the VERY FIRST TIME!To see the Aussie kids and Indonesian kidslearning and playing footy together was agreat testament to the power of sport, andthe utterly uplifting effect it can have on acommunity. This is particularly true it seems,in a community of people who live a fairlytough life. Footy definitely brought togethera very diverse group of people on thisoccasion and it was great to see.During the session, many new skills werelearnt and some natural talents uncovered– the culmination being a spirited scratchmatch with plenty of smiles and lots oflaughter. Even before the day had ended thekids were already asking “Mister mister, whennext time we play?”A massive thanks goes out to Adrian Boltong,Moly-Cop, the Moly-Cop families and to all ofthe Bintangs volunteers who made this dayso enjoyable and such a success. The JakartaBintangs are very pleased to announcethat the next Cilegon training day has beenscheduled for the very near future.In 8 months time the Indonesian Garudas willbe making their debut appearance at the AFLInternational Cup in Melbourne. The JakartaBintangs and the Garudas welcome enquiriesfrom any individual or business that would beinterested in joining the 500 Club programwhich has many benefits, including a dinnerat a ‘very distinguished residence’.We also welcome anyone who would liketo pursue a Bintangs Auskick Family Day fortheir work place or community.500 Club & Bintangs Family Day enquiriesto Club President John Eddy,johneddy14@gmail.comThe participating schools in theboys’ competition included BIS,the Jakarta International School(JIS), Sekolah Pelita Harapan (SPH),Lycee International Francais (LIF),New Zealand International School (NZIS) andGlobal Jaya International School (GJIS). Thegirls’ competition was made up of playersfrom the Mama Sayang Orphanage andothers who attend weekly Rugby trainingsessions organised by Indonesian Rugby,plus some young ladies from the JakartaKomodos’ Junior Rugby Club.Previous tournaments which are also partof the 2013-14 Jakarta Schools RugbyCompetition (JAKSRUC) were played atJIS and SPH. Indonesian Rugby is verysupportive of JAKSRUC having founded thecompetition in late 2009, as it provides afantastic opportunity for young players toexperience for the first time the spirit andcamaraderie of playing competitive Rugby. Itis hoped that many of these youths will geta ‘taste for Rugby’ and pull on their boots formany years to come.The International Rugby Board (IRB) Vision is: Rugby – a sportfor all, true to its values and at the recent round of the 2013-14 Jakarta Schools Rugby Competition, this vision was clear forall to see. For the very first time in Indonesian Rugby historythis tournament saw both boys and girls playing in a jointtournament on the fields of the British International School (BIS)on Saturday December 7. Tournament organiser Jamie Johnstoncommented that “Rugby is so different from all the otherfootball codes and that it is the uniqueness of the Game that itbreeds values into children and youth,” a comment which wasnot lost on all those in attendance.The next round of JAKSRUC will be played atGJIS, Bintaro on Saturday January 18, 2014.If you are interested in seeing some greatschools Rugby action then please head outto GJIS for an 8am start.To supplement the Jakarta Schools RugbyProgram in 2014, Indonesian Rugby willbe rolling out the IRB’s ‘Get Into Rugby’development programme which aims togrow the Game of Rugby across the worldin partnership with the IRB’s RegionalAssociations including the Asian RugbyFootball Union (ARFU) and introduce peopleglobally to Rugby and the values of Integrity,Respect, Solidarity, Passion and Disciplinewhich inspire millions of people to play theGame of Rugby.

Now & ThenNow Do It!PRESENTSgolfLife’s a Beach!Text and Photos Ken RunyonPerhaps the easiest hazard to negotiate in golf is the Sand bunker. It’s one of the few shotswhere solid contact with the ball is not important. In fact, there is no contact with the cluband ball, for most green-side bunker shots! It is essentially a fat shot played well behind theball. The club enters the sand, as much as 5 inches behind the ball. The club makes contactwith the sand and the sand contacts the ball, forcing it up and onto the green.For whatever reason, a well played bunkershot mystifies most people; most golfersmarvel at an up-and-down sandy par. Thereis no good reason for this since the sandbunker shot is not difficult if you understandhow to play it. Few, it would seem, ever takethe time to learn the proper technique.Draw a Circle.One way I find helpful to practice andbecome better as a bunker player, is tosimply draw a circle around the ball. Withyour finger, draw a 5 inch diameter circlearound the ball. The idea is to remove all thesand from the circle. When you swing, theclub first contacts the line of the circle andremoves the sand from under the ball.Open Clubface.I would also recommend turning the clubfaceopen as you grip the club. This will cause theclub to slide under the ball rather than diginto the sand. Most people think they areturning the clubface open but are really onlyturning their hands open. The grip handlemust be turned and then re-gripped to anopen position.Complete Your Swing.It’s really important with bunker shots thatwe continue our swing to a finish position.Hitting “at” the ball is folly, in most bunkersituations. Take less backswing for delicateshots, but continue the swing to finish. Thiswill insure the club doesn’t get stuck in thesand and ruin the shot.Have Fun at the Beach!EARTH WIND & FIRE EXPERIENCE FT.

Eat & DrinkRestaurant ReviewVegetarians Look AwayThe very mention of flame grilling meat starts me salivating (not a prettysight) as my inner cave man gets aroused and millennia of evolution getturned back to the age of homo erectus. I imagine a slab of spare ribs,basted from tip to tip, sizzling away as deep red flames lick it to caramelizedperfection. Or perhaps a thick tenderloin, spitting fat into the fire causing itto flare hungrily for more.So it didn’t take muchpersuasion to getdown to El Asadorwith a few friends ona Sunday for a primeval feast.Perusing the menu was heavenenough. It was hard to get pastthe first pages with its brightphotos of breakfast burritocarne (a toasted soft shelltortilla, wrapped with sautéedminced beef, capsicum, onion,spices, scrambled egg, meltedmozzarella cheese and cheddarcheese, and served with MamaGrillo’s special secret sauce) andeggs benedict El Asador withyour choice of salmon, bacon orham. Now, I have to tell you, thebacon or ham is made from beefor turkey, not the real thing.This is my one disappointmentwith El Asador. Can you callsomething ham if it’s made ofturkey?After my initial indignationat the lack of pork in anestablishment featuringa parillas, flame grill, I got tothe meat of the menu. It wasa sight to behold. You havea choice of beef ribs andsausages, pamplonas (bonelesschicken leg, filled withmozzarella, capsicum, olives,and spices) rib eye, entrañas,(translated as inside skirt, I’m notquite sure how it got its namebut it did catch my eye) andwhole chicken legs, all ready forgrilling upon demand.I had two otherNeanderthals with me and oneof them somehow had a niceIndonesian lady with him. Uponfirst tearing into our steaks therewere three exclamations of,“beautiful,” and one, “enak sekali.”And they really were beautiful.Tender and juicy, our steakshad perfect texture and werevery flavorful. I was chided forspooning out mushroom sauceon my flank steak before tryingit first and I’m glad for that, as itdidn’t need a thing.If you are looking for lighterfare for lunch so you don’t fallasleep in a beefy stupor at yournext meeting, you might wantto try the canelones de verdura(rolled savory crêpes, filled withsautéed creamy cheesy spinach,tomatoes, onion, olives, garlic,and herbs, served with a mixtureof Béchamel and tomatosauce) or the sandwich calientemozzarella (large size toast,beef or turkey, melted cheddarcheese and mozzarella withgreen salad or fries). The pastascome with a full range of saucesand salads as well. The full steakmenu is, of course, also availableat lunch. Including the 300-gramribeye. Knock yourself out.What I must come back foris the selection of cuts preparedas a single set serving (probablyenough for two ravenoushominoids) that includes a choicebit of all the meat cuts availableoff the grill. And then there is the“All you can Eat” offering, whichreally must be just a hedonisticjourney to hallucinations by beefoverdose. You might want to trythe single serving first, my fellowcarnivores, before taking on sucha gargantuan endeavor the nexttime you visit.Until I go back to El AsadorI will keep thinking of how ourancient ancestors would beproud to see their traditionscarried on even into the age ofburgeoning technology. I guessflame grilling over a wood fireis just hard wired into my DNA.A trait I hope to continue inupcoming issues. (WW)El AsadorKemang Point BuildingJl.

An Interview withHE Joaquim Moreira de LemosAmbassador of Portugal to IndonesiaText RISTI BROPHY | Photo THOMAS NGExuberant in nature and with an enthusiasm that is very contagious,Portuguese Ambassador HE Joaquim Moreira de Lemos instantly foundhimself immersed in a busy lifestyle upon his recent arrival in Jakarta. Theproud father of a tall, handsome university student came with a big missionto promote his country, and hometown Lisbon, to the people of Indonesia.NJ’s Risti Brophy met with the man about town and found herselfengrossed in a lively chat about Portugal and Indonesia and their strongconnections which dated back to the 16 th century.How would you describe the relationship betweenPortugal and Indonesia?Our relationship dated back to the 16 th century, whenwe were just a small country in Europe with a populationof no more than a million. Yet we managed to do a lot toreach out to the world, and became the first Europeansto have made contact with this country. Our forefathershad an enormous battle against fears of the unknown,leaving their families behind, in order to trade here. Butwe had the technology, braveness and audacity to do it.It is a history that we take pride of, and Portugal wouldnot be the same without this experience. Our soul ismade of this mix of experience: discovery, adventure,ambition, also sorrow. So for us this is a glorious historyand what would become Indonesia is very much a partof it, and we want to help so we can be included as apart of their history too.There are indeed many traces of Portugal’s presencein Indonesia. Is something being done to preservethis heritage?It is our mission to help Indonesia preserve this legacy.It is for this purpose also that we participated in therecent World Royal Heritage Festival, held in Jakartafor the first time, this is a recent example. We havemany historical documents such as the exchange ofletters from the Portuguese kings to the sultans ofIndonesia, at the national archives, whose copies arecurrently exhibited at the Embassy. A major project ofmy mandate is to get a proper place in the nationalmuseum to showcase everything we have that isconnected with the Portuguese presence here.Another example is the famous canon presented toSultanAgung to helpwithhisfight for Sunda Kelapa inthe 16 th century. The canon is now housed at Staadhuis(Museum of History – also known as the FatahillahMuseum), and in the 19 th century it was even regardeda symbol of fertility, which is very flattering!In addition, there are many Portuguese loanwords thatare still present until today in Bahasa Indonesia, forexample sepatu (sapato), sabun (sabão), gereja (igreja),boneka (boneca), mentega (manteiga), keju, bendera(bandeira) and so on. This is important because thiswas the trading language, the business language at thetime, and it still remains until today.Finally of course there’s the music, with the Tugukeroncong community still present to this date in KotaTua.How do you plan to promote the presence ofPortugal in Indonesia?Everyone here and in Portugal knows about thepresence of Portugal in Indonesia, so it is not like weare talking about a completely foreign country. It mayhave taken us 500 years, but we are back with the samespirit of the traders.76 JANUARY 2014 www.nowjakarta.co.idwww.nowjakarta.co.id JANUARY 2014 77

Country FocusPortugalSoekarno’s Controversial Visitto Portugal in 1960Text Risti Brophy | Photos Embassy of Portugal & Luis Catarino- Presidência da RepublicaAt the time when Portugal was put on the side by the world asa colonial ruler, Indonesian former President Soekarno madean exception by visiting Lisbon in 1960, a visit that was deemedcontroversial at the time, but one where he was received like a king.According to HE Joaquim de Lemos, Portuguese Ambassador toIndonesia, Soekarno gained a much deeper understanding andrespect for Portugal due to the years he had spent during hisexile in Ende, Flores, where he made contact with the Portuguesemissionary there.Soekarno was known to have said about Lisbon, “I will always keepPortugal in my heart. Lisbon is the most beautiful city in the world.”It may sound somewhat controversial, but I believethat cultural promotion is an integral part of the totalpackage of a country’s promotion. It is an instrumentto promote the global image of our country whichultimately is aimed at a business purpose. We haveto increase our presence in Indonesia in order to getopportunities, first for us to be investing here and alsofor the Indonesians to buy our products and becomeour partners.Speaking of the spirit of the traders, how are wecurrently doing on the trade exchange?Portugal launched its international trade expansionin the ‘90s to start where we already have a strongpresence and speak the same language, for instancein African countries such as Angola and Mozambique,and of course in Brazil. There were plans for expansionin Southeast Asia but then the economic crisis hit. Nowwe are expanding to North Africa and the Middle East.So my job now is to raise the flag and grab the attentionfor Indonesia, and we are more than ready for it.There have been two business delegations fromPortugal visiting Indonesia in 2013 with a plan formany more in future. Our strength is not in the bigbusinesses but more for the medium-sized businesses.There are around 15 to 16 sectors where we have astrong international competitiveness. Our experiencein the other countries – planning an airport in China,metro line in the Middle East, housing projects andmajor infrastructures in Africa- gives us the capacity totake on various infrastructure development projects inIndonesia.In what other areas can we see collaborations?Certainly in economic and cultural cooperations butalso in other areas such as tourism. Currently we alreadyhave many tourists from Indonesia, especially Catholicswho come to Portugal to visit Fátima. Recently weparticipated in the Islamic Tourism Fair in Jakarta andthe first batch of tourists will arrive in January for theArab Heritage tour which includes Spain, Marocco andPortugal. Our capital city Lisbon where I come from, isalso regarded one of the best destinations for city breaktrips in Europe, so it just requires a little promotion toincrease the flux.In the field of education, we have some of the world’sbest universities and will encourage more studentsfrom Indonesia to take advantage. There are a couple ofhundreds of young Indonesian studying Portuguese inthe Universitas Indonesia which is also very promising.It has been a very busy year for you. What will keepyou motivated this coming new year?Yes it has definitely been a very busy year, but I have nochoice. If we want people to learn more about Portugal,I have to be out there and get the words out. Of coursewith our limited resources, we have to do the promotionsstep-by-step, but we are doing it with precision.I would say that those who know me will agree that Ihave a good sense of humor and I am a hard worker,Carpe diem-type of guy. I don’t recall who said this, butit matches my personality perfectly: “Don’t take life tooseriously, cause you will never get out of it alive.”Trails of the Portuguese TradersText Elisabeth GiovaniAttracted by the lure of the faraway landrich in precious spices, the Portugueseentered the waters of Indonesia in the 16 thcentury. Traces of their presence can stillbe seen until today all around the country.Because of their spice trade, the strongestPortuguese influence can be found inthe eastern part of Indonesia. Amongthe most interesting is Belgica Fortressin Tabaleku Hills in Banda. Built in 1611under the regime of Governor GeneralPieter Both, the Belgica Fortress hasfour sides that make it look like the USPentagon when seen from above. Forthat reason, this fortress is also called theIndonesian Pentagon.In Tugu area of North Jakarta, where thePortuguese built their community, a churchcalled the ‘Sion’ Church still stands strongon Jalan Pangeran Jayakarta. The presentTugu community, direct descendants of thePortuguese traders, to this date still performtheir unique style of keroncong music whichsome say is influenced by a Portuguese musicgenre called fado. This may not be completelytrue, as fado is usually played with a signature12-string guitar, whereas keroncong has thedistinctive sound of a ukulele.In May 2012 President Anival Calvaco Silva visited Indonesia,the first ever by a Portuguese president, where he met withPresident Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and leaders of theHouse of Representatives. On this visit, President Yudhoyonocommented, “The closeness could be felt in various parts inIndonesia from Aceh in the West through Flores and Maluku inthe East. Even in Jakarta, in the Tugu area, Portuguese descentsare now living preserving the “keroncong” music which carriesmuch influence from the Portuguese music.” (RB)More on FADOPortugal recently celebrated the recognitionof fado as UNESCO Intangible CulturalHeritage:Fado is a performance genre incorporatingmusic and poetry widely practised by variouscommunities in Lisbon. Fado songs areusually performed by a solo singer, male orfemale, traditionally accompanied by a wirestrungacoustic guitar and the Portugueseguitarra – a pear-shaped cittern with twelvewire strings, unique to Portugal, whichalso has an extensive solo repertoire. Thedissemination of Fado through emigrationand the world music circuit has reinforcedits image as a symbol of Portuguese identity,leading to a process of cross-culturalexchange involving other musical traditions.78 JANUARY 2014 www.nowjakarta.co.idwww.nowjakarta.co.id JANUARY 2014 79

An Interview withHE Tomas SmetankaAmbassador of the Czech Republic to IndonesiaText ALISTAIR SPEIRS | Photo THOMAS NGTomas Smetanka is a charming gentleman, always ready with a smileand a welcome. But beneath his warm and friendly exterior is an efficientand knowledgeable diplomat. As you will see from his amusing and directanswers to my questions, he knows exactly what he is talking about. He is,together with his equally charming wife, a regular on Jakarta’s social scenewhere they are welcomed with open arms.Tell us about your background please. What led youto your current role in Indonesia?I don’t consider myself a career diplomat, but it’s gettingever harder to claim I am not one, having completedmy twentieth year with the Foreign Ministry last month.I joined in 1993 as a journalist who had been writingmostly on international affairs and the Middle Eastin particular, with a background in Arab studies. Thishelps in Indonesia: I can reply to “As-salamu alaikumwa rahmatu llahi wa barakatuhu” by an impeccable“Wa alaikum as-salam”. But, seriously, having someexperience in the Middle East and Arab Islamiccountries – I studied in Egypt and Tunisia, worked inLibya and served as Ambassador to Jordan - nurturedmy interest in the largest Muslim country. My previoustwo postings, in Beijing and Seoul also contributed, as Iwitnessed the dynamic development of Asian societiesand became intrigued by the chance to be in Indonesiawhen it takes a similar path.How long has the Czech Republic been representedin Indonesia? I presume long before the separationof Czechoslovakia?Indeed. The Consulate General of Czechoslovakiawas open in Jakarta in March 1950 and its status wasraised to Embassy in 1956. But Czechs had been herelong before Indonesia declared independence in 1945- and Czechoslovakia in 1918, for that matter. The firstEuropean written account on this archipelago startsby the author’s words I, Odoricus Bohemus. “Bohemus”means Czech – as in Bohemia Crystal. He was otherwisecalled Odorico de Pordenone and arrived in Sumatraand Java in about 1320. Arguably, he was the first manof Czech origin who visited here on an at least partlydiplomatic mission. He was a Franciscan monk formNorthern Italy, sent by the Pope. His father was a Czechsoldier. Of course, I mention it as a curiosity, whichhas nothing to do with our relations in modern times.But there were other, more recent and more relevantcontacts. For example, some fifty Czechs came toBatavia in the 1930s to represent the world’s biggestshoemaker of the time and one of the first foreigninvestors in the country, Tomáš Baťa of Czechoslovakia.Bata shoe factory is still here.How would you characterize the relationship today?We are one of Indonesia’s thousand friends, to borrowthe term coined by President SBY’s Government for theirforeign policy strategy – thousand friends, zero enemies.We appreciate Indonesia’s importance as the world’sthird largest democracy, its growing economic powerand strong regional influence. Our excellent politicalrelations were confirmed during last year’s visit of theCzech President and we had a number of other exchangesfocused mainly on economic ties since. Our relationshipis not new, we can refer to our close ties during the timeof President Sukarno in the 1950s and 1960s and to thefact that both our countries experienced a successfultransition to democracy in recent decades. Besides, thereis another significant dimension to our relations, theone we share with our EU partners. It covers importantareas, outlined in the EU-Indonesia Partnership andCooperation Agreement and includes cooperation intrade, education, science and technology, environment,counter-terrorism and other fields.80 JANUARY 2014 www.nowjakarta.co.idwww.nowjakarta.co.id JANUARY 2014 81

Country FocusThe Czech RepublicIs there extensive trade between the Czech Republic andIndonesia? What are the products and commodities involved?Although we are an export-oriented economy, we are not atrade giant and besides, above 80% of Czech exports go to otherEU countries. Nevertheless, our trade with Indonesia has beengrowing in recent years and reached almost half a billion USDollars in 2012, of which one third are Czech exports. Machinery,turbines, telecommunication equipment, pipes and valves, radars,hospital equipment, glass. Interestingly enough, I cannot see palmoil or biofuels among our import items, but data processing andtelecommunication equipment in the first place. This is a goodsign, showing that Indonesia participates in global value chainsthat incorporate components made here into their final productscompleted elsewhere.There are many famous traditional Czech products includingSkoda Cars, crystal and porcelain. What do you find are mostpopular here?Cars, including the traditional Czech brand Skoda, make the largestportion of Czech exports, but none of them, to my regret, go toIndonesia. “Bohemia Crystal”, i.e. glass items made in the CzechRepublic are popular here and I am glad to find that besides thevery traditional pieces of cut glass, Indonesian customers also buychandeliers and glass installations of contemporary design. Youcan find them inside several new administrative buildings or hotels.However, the most popular product of Czech origin is manufacturedor rather brewed in Indonesia: the majority of beers produced hereincluding Bintang are “Pilsner”. This type of beverage has beenconceived in 1842 in the city of Plzeň or Pilsen, now in the CzechRepublic, and bears its name.Petrof pianos are also very well known. Are they still soughtafter here?Petrof pianos are offered in Indonesia, but as far as I know, theydon’t sell particularly well. They are considered luxury itemsand burdened by relevant taxes, which may make them hardlyaffordable to local musicians. It’s a pity as they are instrumentsof a very high quality with a great reputation in Indonesia. I wastold Indonesian expats living in Europe in the past used to pack aBohemia Crystal chandelier and a Petrof piano into their containerwhen moving back home.Are there any Czech companies operating in Indonesia? Whatdo they do?There are some, but not many, and some are considering they maystart operating here. Most of the Czech companies in Indonesia offersolutions in areas that are highly important for the local economyand environment: Companies specialising in small and micro hydropower stations, able to offer both the technology and financing,a company providing conversions of diesel engines into moreefficient and environmental-friendly gas, a company deliveringsophisticated hospital beds and other health-care equipment.However, the fastest growing is now a company offering consumercredit to customers purchasing household items.There are many cultural interactions in Indonesia. Tell us aboutsome of them please.There is a Czech saying “Every Czech is a musician”, which is, of course,not true and I myself can easily demonstrate it. But we do have aremarkable musical history, a number of great symphonic orchestrasand many outstanding musicians. Very few have performed inIndonesia so far and I hope to bring some. We’ll start next year with aconcert of an extraordinary violinist and entertainer, Pavel Šporcl, whowill come with an equally brilliant pianist, Petr Jiříkovský, in March. Iwould also like to highlight a project we support and presentedrecently in Jakarta of two Czech artists who have been interactingwith Papuan tribes Korowai Batu and Yali Mek. Sculptor Lukáš Rittsteinwith photographer and painter Barbora Šlapetová have been visitingPapua regularly since 1997, observing and registering - throughartistic and documentary means - how the last people of the StoneAge have been entering the globalised world. They had written downunique conversations with chiefs of the two tribes before they evergot into contact with the world beyond their territories and publishedthem in two books, supplemented with outstanding photographs.They came back to their Papuan interlocutors last November andbrought them an edition of stories and legends the tribal chiefs arenow reluctant to retell, translated into Indonesian. They prepare alarge exhibition of their works inspired by Papua for next year and Ihope we’ll be able to bring it here, too.What do you see as your primary roles here? What do you wantto achieve during your tenure?Keeping the relations between the Czech Republic and Indonesiaalive and expanding them, particularly in the areas of business,education, and tourism. This leads to important secondary roles:cultivating personal contacts, providing information and advice,raising interest, promoting culture. I’d be glad to see in several yearsfrom now what I can see happening between the Czech Republicand the countries I served in some time ago: booming businessties, large investment flows, hundreds of thousands of visitorsevery year, thriving cultural exchange. I learned the importantachievements were those not visible immediately but becomingobvious after some time.Share some of your best moments in Indonesia so far please.In Jakarta, my best moments happen when we have a goodconversation with our guests at a dinner table. I found rathersoon it can be a daunting task here to organise a group of eight,ten, twelve people to arrive on an agreed and confirmed date andhour. But I found, too, it’s worth the effort and the hassle of rearrangingthings in the last minute or after. Our Indonesian guestsand friends showed so much insight, willingness to share ideas andviews, wit and humour that it made every event we held was filledwith the pure pleasure of debating, discovering and learning. Outof Jakarta, my most memorable time so far has been a week-longcruise on a rented phinisi boat from Lombok to Flores which wedid with our extended family a year ago. The most picturesqueviews of uninhabited islands, nights on the deck under the starsand the amazing marine life below plus the absolutely friendly andattentive crew made it a once in a lifetime experience.82 JANUARY 2014 www.nowjakarta.co.id

Urban Chat!ArtBy AMIR SIDHARTAArt Outlook 2014 (Year of the Horse):Those Who Are Not Lucky StarsShould Work Like HorsesAn artist is taking a rest with a piece of cloth covering his eyes and his head pulled back overthe backrest of the chair on which he sits in a setting of an artist’s studio. He seems to beextremely exhausted, not so much physically but perhaps more so mentally. Around him areseveral canvases on easels. They are not his work, but they appear to be works by two of themost famous Indonesian masters, namely Affandi and Raden Saleh. Two women, one standingdressed in a traditional kebaya top and batik cloth bottom, and another seated wearing a rathersexy western dress, seem to be models waiting for the artist to paint them again.This scene is what appears in Suroso Isur’s painting entitled IndonesianArtist’s Studio, which was UOB’s Indonesian Painting of the Year 2013.While painted in a fluidly painterly style, the painting is a commentaryon the state of Indonesian art today. Through the painting, the artist isexpressing his frustration over the current Indonesian art scene, whichseems to be in favor of only a limited few art “stars” while neglectingother artists no matter how talented they may be.Indeed, the basis of collecting art has been based too much onthe financial investment potential of the works of certain artists, andnot at all based on their artistic merits. The works of only a limitedfew artists are highly in demand. Auction houses, galleries, and artdealers have been under pressure to make works by these star artistsavailable to the market. Meanwhile the works by the elite artistswere becoming increasingly scarce. Fakes and forgeries infiltratedthe market and often appeared even in the most prestigious auctionhouses. It seemed that collectors valued fake works of art claimed tobe by star artists much, much higher than original works of “lesser”artists. This caused a lot of frustration among artists.Prior to 2007, only the so-called “old masters” of Indonesia wereconsidered as star artists. In the auction scene they would be Affandi,Hendra and Lee Man Fong. However, after 2007, some contemporaryartists also rose to stardom. What happened to the art market inIndonesia in 2007? Following the Chinese contemporary art boom ayear earlier, at an auction in Singapore in April 2007, Putu Sutawijaya‘sLooking for Wings was sold for SGD 95,000 (around Rp. 550 million),ten times the estimated price range printed in the auction catalog.Since then, prices of works of contemporary Indonesian art saw steadyand astonishing increases.However, the sales of the works of Nyoman Masriadi weremost noteworthy. His painting Angel V was sold for HKD 240,000(approximately Rp. 300 million at the time), at an auction in HongKong in May 2007. A litle over a year earlier the same painting failedto sell at an auction in Jakarta despite its very attractive estimates ofRp. 10-15 million. In the same 2007 Hong Kong auction, another ofhis works sold for approximately HK$540,000. Since then his pricesrose at incredibly steep rates. His painting entitled Juling (”crosseyed”)fetched HK$2.6 million in November 2007. Just a year later,in May 2008, Masriadi‘s monumental painting entitled Sudah BiasaDitelanjangi (“Used to being stripped naked”) was sold for HK$ 4,2million at Christie‘s Hongkong auctions.Then, when global stock markets suffered their worst monthfollowing Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in September 2008, thebest of Masriadi‘s works seemed to remain resilient. On Oct. 4, hispainting Sorry Hero, Saya Lupa (”Sorry hero, I forgot!”) a depiction ofBatman and Superman sitting on adjacent toilets, painted as a sinistercomment ridiculing those claiming credit in promoting Masriadi‘sfame, fetched HK$4.8 million. Just a couple of days later, 2000 triptychof boxers entitled “The Man from Bantul (The Final Round)”, measuring2.5 meters by 4.35 meters, sold for HK$7.8 million, breaking the twodayold record. Indonesian Contemporary Art had reached the USD 1million dollar level, and a new “star” had been born.The appearance of Masriadi not only causes furtherfrustration among Indonesian artists, especially who are notthe darlings of the art market, but also a certain anxiety amongthe collectors of works by Indonesian masters. Masriadi had notever shown his works in a solo exhibition until the SingaporeArt Museum showcased his first solo show, Black is My Weapon,in August 2008. Prior to 2007, he was merely considered aninteresting emerging artist, but not an auspiciously brilliantrising star. The veteran collectors started thinking that if pricesof works by Masriadi had topped the USD 1 million mark, thenworks by the Indonesian old masters should be able to achievethe same high levels. This provided golden oppurtunities forart dealers and auction houses. They were able to offer highestimates for the best works by old masters, much higher thanpreviously. In turn this received positive response from collectors,who started considering that the offers for their collections wasattractive enough for them to consider letting go of some of theircollections.In 2009, a large painting entitled Magnificent Horses by LeeMan Fong was sold for over USD 1 million. Works by the artistachieved high prices in the following years: USD 3.24 million(2010), USD 4.42 (2012) and USD 2,76 million (2013). Worksby other Indonesian old masters, particularly Affandi, HendraGunawan and S. Sudjojono also started reaching high levels after2009. The graphs compare the movement of prices of their worksvis-à-vis those by Masriadi, based on annual record auction prices.If we compare the graphs, we can see that starting 2010, themarket for works by Indonesian old masters have become quiterobust, posing fierce competition for Masriadi. For the most part,many Indonesian art enthusiasts who think that certainly worksby the old masters should be worth more than contemporary art,are quite content. Now they see that the prices of Indonesian artis being corrected.At the same time, the Indonesian art market has been takento a level that it has never reached before. Whether one likes it ornot, it cannot be denied that this is all because of Masriadi! Well,at least to a certain extent, without Masriadi this might not havehappened so quickly.Be that as it may, what would be the fate of Suroso Isur and the“lesser” known Indonesian artists? Masriadi’s success has clearlybeen due to clever art management and strategizing on the partof his impresario, Jasdeep Sandhu of Gajah Gallery, but also todetermination and luck on the part of the artist. Artists can learnfrom this success story.Will collectors and dealers also learn from this? Moreinterestingly, what will they choose to learn from Masriadi’ssuccess? My hope is that among the things that can be learnt fromit is that we really need to build art institutions of knowledge, suchas art museums and art schools, so that determination rather thanluck becomes the basis of an artist’s artistic merit. “If wishes werehorses, then beggars would ride,” so they say. So let us get overour wishes, and start working like horses. Have a happy Year of theHorse!84 JANUARY 2014 www.nowjakarta.co.idwww.nowjakarta.co.id JANUARY 2014 85

Urban Chat!MoviesBy RIZAL IWANMusicBy CRAIG MONEYUrban Chat!Let’s Talk Business!The PortfolioWhen it comes to“business of themovies,” one nearlyundisputable law isthat sequels makeeasier money andoriginals have towork harder. That iswhy, when predictingthis year’s potentialcash cows, most ofthe titles mentionedin everyone’s listsare either sequels orreboots. The same goesfor my list, althoughsome brand new titlesare promising somebig “kerching” actionfor their studios.The Hunger Games:Mockingjay Part 1A business strategy of choppingthe final installment of asuccessful franchise into twoparts has been proven effective,as was demonstrated by theHarry Potter and Twilight series.And so, the folks behind thislatest franchise sensationdecided to apply the sameformula, as Katniss’ cause inleading the districts to rebellionwill meet its conclusion. Thesecond part is scheduled to bereleased in November of 2015.Why it means good business:Not even one month after itsrelease, the second installment,Catching Fire, was already thethird biggest grossing film of2013. And in the meantime,Jennifer Lawrence will keepthe franchise’s momentum bycontinuing to charm commercialand festival crowds alike with astring of box office films and astrong Oscar presence.X-Men: Days of FuturePastOur beloved mutants are infor some time travelling as theX-Men are fighting togetherwith their younger selves tochange the past for the sake oftheir species. What is excitingabout this latest outing is thatwe are getting the best of bothworlds as the old favorites (HughJackman, Halle Berry, AnnaPaquin, Ellen Page) join forceswith the new X-Men additions(James McAvoy, MichaelFassbender, Jennifer Lawrence).And the best part is, BryanSinger will be back at the helm.Why it means good business:The X-Men series and spin-offshave proven to be a highlylucrative franchise over the years.The merging of the two X-Mengenerations will attract both themore mature audiences whohave been with the franchisesince the very beginning (andthe return of Bryan Singer willbe a plus point, too) and theyounger, hip crowd of today.Transformers: Age ofExtinctionThe fourth installment of theTransformers franchise takesplace four years after theChicago invasion. Shia LeBeoufwill not make a comeback thistime, and instead, a new castof characters is introduced.Mark Wahlberg takes centerstage as a mechanic who findssomething that will set both theDecepticons and Autobots afterhim and his daughter.Why it means good business:The absence of the originalactors will not make much ofa difference when it comes tothe film’s appeal. The robots arealways hogging the spotlightanyway. And as long as MichaelBay is still at the helm, andSteven Spielberg is producing,the crowd will still comeswarming in. I don’t see anyextinction for this franchise inthe near future.InterstellarThis is one of the few originaltitles that might just be thisyear’s box office bull’s eye.Christopher Nolan brings youa space odyssey focusing on ateam of space explorers whofind a new way to take spacetravelling to a whole new level.Nolan is still keeping the detailedplot at hush level, but his nameon the project is already gettingpeople’s eye on the film.Why it means good business:Given his recent portfolio(Inception and the Dark Knighttrilogy), Nolan is a solid playerat the box office. Adding to thisis a list of cast members whosestar power can light up a minigalaxy (Matthew McConaughey,Anne Hathaway, JessicaChastain). Plus, people’s interestin space-themed films is backafter the success of Gravity,and this will lend this film somemomentum.The Lego MovieAn animated film of a differentkind, as we see Chris Prattvoicing a Lego character whomust fight Will Ferrell as thevillain to save the Lego universe.Comedic turns will be providedby the voice of Will Arnettand Elizabeth Banks, and also,Morgan Freeman.Why it means good business:Novelty factor is high as thisis the first ever feature filmbased on the highly populartoy brand, and will be abreath of fresh air in termsof animation style. A goodfamily entertainment for kids,which will also attract othergenerations, because after all,who didn’t grow up with Lego?There’s a fragile moment in your life when music is most important to you - when it finally just ‘speaks’about the virtues of growing up, getting by, and getting on. Nothing reaches inside us and releasesour hopes, dreams and desires quite like music can. So while the business of music continues to roughand tumble in this digital era, the output of inspiring those very real human moments has never beenso relevant. The good news is there is plenty of inspiration around.Bruce Springsteen – High HopesColumbia – Contemporary Singer/Songwriter, RockSpringsteen has always been akin to the blue-collar union leaderwith his music. And in the past decade with the global malaise,he’s pretty much taken over to rep the white-collar folk too -leaving a pretty big target audience. On his 18 th studio album hismusic delivers once again reflecting on an unspoken mantra oftoday that to get by we need to hustle, settle the score on equalopportunity and above all else – take care of each other.Beyonce - BeyonceColumbia – Pop/R&BOn Dec 13, Mrs. Knowles-Carterdid the unthinkable in our overtlytransparent times, dropping a fulllengthalbum complete with 14 tracksand 17 respective short films withzero marketing – perhaps to witnessthe true effects of social media.Dubbed as a ‘visual’ album, the endpackage becomes a pioneeringway to experience new music. Her5 th record is as significant as it isunguarded and her approach will becommended for years to come.Eric Clapton –Give Me Strength:The ‘74/’75 StudioRecordingsPolydor – RockAs many of us are aware,Clapton as he is today was notalways the case. The pivotal forkin the singer-songwriter careerafter The Yardbirds, Cream andBlind Faith was soon after therelease of the ‘Layla’ era.

Heresay? Not quite. At itscore is a splendid left-field takeon cuts of the Everly Brothers’discography from the 50’s thatis more honest folklore and lessBroadway musical kitsch. Theproof is that good music willalways be just that.Britney Spears –Britney JeanRCA – PopMusic auteur or collateraldamage diva, Britney retainsher effort for a pop-princessmantle to stay relevant to thetimes.

Sincethen, Habitat for Humanity has grown andreached out to a great many people.Why have we chosen to return to Habitat forHumanity again this month? Why are theyour “Local Heroes”?Well, people need a place to call home,somewhere they can feel safe, a place fortheir children to grow. Everyone needs aplace with clean water to wash and cook,and a place where they can dream theirdreams.There are many people out there whosehome can’t be defined as a proper home.Some people live in an overcrowded roomin a slum, or in a leaky shack. Getting cleanwater is also not easy for them, especiallyif the environment of their current house isnot clean (near a garbage field or dirty river).It’s unhealthy and unsafe.Purchasing a decent home is no small task;we all know that nowadays house prices aregetting more and more expensive. How cansomeone be expected to pay rent on theirhouse if the monthly fee is twice their ownsalary every month?Habitat for Humanity, which was founded in1976, is an organization that provides a thosein need with a decent place to live. They wantto help people build homes, not only withbricks and mortar, but also with hope andlove. What the poor need is not charity, butthe capital to build a decent home. Habitatwon’t just give away homes to families, butsell them at affordable prices.Established in Indonesia in 1997, Habitatfor Humanity Indonesia has served morethan 40,000 families in 59 sub-districts in13 provinces (Nanggore Aceh Darussalam,North Sumatera, West Sumatera, Riau,Lampung, Banten, DKI Jakarta, West Java,Central Java, DI Yogyakarta, East Java, Baliand North Sulawesi).Habitat houses around the world are builtaccording to the same guiding principleswhich are simple, decent and affordable.Habitat houses are modestly-sized, largeenough for the homeowner family’s needs,but small enough to keep construction andmaintenance costs to a minimum. They usequality, locally-available building materials.The most important thing is that the housesare affordable to the homeowners. The laborof volunteers and partner families, efficientbuilding methods, modest house sizes andno-profit loans make it possible for lowincomefamilies to purchase Habitat houses.Habitat strives to build sustainable or “green”buildings by designing and constructinghouses that are efficient and durable, thatuse less resources, are healthy to live inand are affordable. The home constructionstandards that they use pay attention towater and energy efficiency, safety andhealth and conservation of materials, notonly to take better care of the environment,the homeowners and the volunteers, but alsoto reduce the home’s monthly and life cyclecosts and increase efficiency and durability.Local Habitat affiliates reuse and recycleleftover materials. These materials arechanneled back into house constructionor to materials recyclers. They sell reusableand surplus building materials to the public.The proceeds fund local Habitat houseconstruction. As a result, they supportmaterials conservation and help Habitatbuild more houses.Habitat for Humanity looks beyond shelterto pave the way for the development of acommunity. While Habitat builds homes,its partners provide access to water andsanitation facilities and electricity supply,educational and livelihood opportunities,health awareness programs, training toempower women and help to internallydisplaced people to integrate into societyThere are high increases in support toHabitat’s work by philanthropic foundations,commercial banks, specialist microfinanceorganizations, and official national andmultilateral funding institutions. Those kindof sources are really important to createambitious community-wide “transformationprojects” where housing is one componentin larger-scale programs aimed at breakingthe cycle of poverty for individuals and theirfamilies.90 JANUARY 2014 www.nowjakarta.co.idwww.nowjakarta.co.id JANUARY 2014 91

TravelHidden HeritageNomads of the SeaText Stephanie Brookes | Photos David MetcalfI sat talking with Asman, an ethnicBajau Palauk on his woodenfishing boat as sea cucumbersdried on the upper deck and wespoke about his seafaring life. “Welove to be on the ocean. The oceanis our land. We feel very happy andcontent and it is all we know. Mytwo children were born at sea onthis boat and my wife also. Whenone of our family die, we just laythe body on the sea because webelieve our God is the ocean. Wereally love our God.

TravelHidden HeritageThe Mirror Never LiesIndonesia›s young filmmaker,Kamila Andini, released afilm in 2011 about the Bajaupeople, set in Wakatobi, “TheMirror Never Lies”. This filmwon international acclaimat the Mumbai Film Festivalin 2011 and Kamila Andiniwon the Bright Young TalentAward. In 2012, the film wonBest Film and Best Directorat the Bandung Film Festival(FFB). The story follows thelife of a young Bajau girlwho lost her father at seaand uses mirrors to look forhim. The intention of thefilm is to encourage peopleto learn more about theBajau people, their origins,lifestyles, customs, art andtraditional culture.Asman and his family are not alone, as his brother alsotravels alongside them on his smaller boat. One ofthe challenges is having enough fuel to power theirsmall craft, so they trade fish and sea cucumbers forfuel, which is really the only time they make landfall.“My parents were born in Sampurna district nearthe Philippines, at sea, and I was also was born at sea. I don’t reallyknow what it is like living on the land, but here among the wavesand currents I feel at home in the ocean. Sometimes we see the Navyboats, but they leave us alone, as we do not cause any trouble.”I met Asman on Derawan Island, East Kalimantan, on one of therare occasions that he and his family were on dry land, as when he wastrading for fuel supplies. He was planning on leaving that afternoon,to head out back into the sea, a place where he feels at home.Derawan Island’s main street is comprised of soft white powderysand, which diligently gets swept, on the hour. Bright colourfulwooden houses stand in neat rows. Just before dusk freshly caughtfish are dropped to the many casual little warungs (restaurants) andthe aroma of grilled fish and spicy sauces fills the air.Staying on Derawan is a very local experience. It is mostlyhomestay accommodation and the local Bajau people operate all thebusinesses on the island. Crystal clear waters, fringed with coconutpalms surround this idyllic spot in East Kalimantan. Giant green seaturtles laze in the shallow waters and swim under small cottagesperched over the water. It only takes forty minutes to walk aroundDerawan Island, which includes a walk through a serene forest, in themiddle of the island.For generations now the Bajau have lived in East Kalimantan.On Derawan Island the locals are either land dwelling Bajau (whoselivelihoods are still very dependent on the sea), or seafaring familygroups, like Asman’s family, who roam the seas to earn a living byfishing. More and more Bajau are now settling on the land, withthe help and encouragement of the Government, which provideseducation and medical facilities.The Bajau originally arrived by boat centuries ago, from the SuluSea, in the South-western part of the Philippines and can be found invillage settlements from Aceh in the west of Indonesia to Papua in theeast, including coastal settlements in Sulawesi, the Wakatobi Islandcluster, East Nusa Tenggara, Lombok, Moluccas, Sumbawa (MojoIsland), Madura (East Java) and Labuan Bajo, whose name is derivedfrom a Bajau (Bajo) tribe.The mother tongue of the Bajau people is a similar language toTagalog, a language spoken in the Philippines. Even though theirculture is scattered throughout Indonesia, the Bajau tribe speak thiscommon language regardless of their location.Affectionately known as sea gypsies, the Bajau people live alife based around the sea and practise some pre-islamic rituals.Traditional Bajau have a dukun (shaman), and believe in a numberof taboos and hold special ceremonies relating to the sea. One suchritual is the offering of thanks to the God of the Sea, Omboh Dilaut.When a significant haul of fish is brought in or a large catch is made,this ritual is performed. If an illness befalls a village, or anchorage,spirit mediums are called upon and “spirit boats” are cast adrift in thesea beyond the village.Connections and traces of the Bajau have been found as far asArnhem Land in Northern Australia. This is documented in the legendsof the Yolngu Aboriginees and tells of mysterious Baijini Jinn peopleand their mythical tales.Another example of their wanderings of the sea is evidentin a piece of Australian legislation; The 1974 Memorandum ofUnderstanding, whereby “Indonesian traditionalfisherman” can fish in the Exclusive Economic Zone ofAustralia, which includes the Bajau’s traditional fishinggrounds.Another interesting fact about the Bajau is theirphysique and in particular, their lung capacity. Theyare expert free divers and over the centuries havedeveloped physical adaptations, which enable them todive for long periods underwater. Some of the divingBajaus can work underwater for up to 5 hours per day,totally submerged. This can take its toll however and it isnot uncommon to meet a Bajau elder with poor hearing,due to ruptured eardrums and other ear problems. Theireyesight has also evolved to allow more effective visionunderwater.Stephanie Brookes is a travel writer with tales from Indonesia and beyond.Please visit her website: www.travelwriter.wsThe Bajau people are an ethnic sea faringtribe with a rich history, proud of their traditionalways, and they form part of Indonesia’s uniquecultural diversity.As I stood on the shore and waved toAsman as he and his family headed off intothe distance, I had a feeling of admiration andrespect for these nomads of the sea and theirsense of freedom. Roaming across the vastsouthern oceans as their ancestors have donefor thousands of years totally oblivious to ourworld of gadgets and technology, they surviveon ancient wisdom and strong belief systemsand a love of their family and respect for theirocean home.Dave Metcalf runs photography and cultural tours to Bali and other places in IndonesiaPlease visit his websitewww.davidmetcalfphotography.comwww.facebook.com/indodaveCultural Connections:Derawan Guide: Mr ArdiATA Travel Services BorneoEast Kalimantan, IndonesiaT: +62 812 159 3848 | E: info@adventure-borneo.com | www.adventure-borneo.comKakaban Island –Jellyfish LakeA biological phenomenonoccurs on the neighbouringisland of Kakaban.

TravelThailandOne Night in BangkokText & Photos ERZA S.T.With years of experience as a travel and lifestyle writer, I often wonder why I have neverbeen to Thailand. All my friends share my sentiments and joke about it, especially sinceto them Bangkok is the 101 of travel destinations for Indonesians after Singapore. So fullof determination, I decided to make the journey to see Bangkok’s highlights, and getThailand checked on my map.Of all the hotels in Bangkok, I was glad to have chosenSiam Kempinski Hotel for its strategic location andof course, the standard of opulence. Starting with itsgrand lobby, complete with high ceilings and linesof columns, the whole ambiance here oozes luxury.I was interested to discover that the hotel was erected in the areathat formerly housed the Lotus Pond Palace (Sra Pathum Palace),commissioned by Rama IV (the king from the famous The King and I)as a retreat outside the city.Taking on the concept of “resort within the city,” this hotel, with its303 rooms and lavish suites, is built in a circle with lush landscapedtropical gardens and three saltwater pools at its centre. My 45 sqmdeluxe room, which overlooked the gorgeous pools and gardens,had a warm ambiance with a modern yet luxurious interior and abathtub which was just so inviting.Aside from having great facilities, I like this hotel for its strategiclocation – right in the heart of Bangkok’s premier shopping andentertainment district. After enjoying a scrumptious breakfast bythe pool, I consulted my itinerary with the hotel’s concierge. Sheadvised me to go to Siam Paragon Mall (connected to the hotel)and check out Siam Ocean World Bangkok. Noticing my doubtfulexpression, she convinced me that even adults would have a greattime there. She also informed me that the famous Jim ThompsonHouse is located within 10 minute’s walk from the hotel. And so myfirst two destinations of the day were decided.Located two storeys underneath the glitzy Siam Paragon shoppingmall, Siam Ocean World Bangkok is like an aquatic wonderland thesize of three Olympic swimming pools. Renowned as the largestin South East Asia, this Marine World houses a staggering 30,000curious looking creatures from various depths and aquatic regionsacross the globe. From odd - looking giant fish from the AmazonRiver to even more weird sea creatures from the Jurassic period– all can be seen here. Other attractions include a 270 degreeunderwater tunnel, glass-bottom boat rides, a 5D cinema, and, ifyou really can’t resist, you can dive in and have a swim amongst thesharks and rays. What the concierge lady said was true. I had indeedhad an excellent time inside and was amazed by the rich diversity offish and other animals kept at Ocean World.Fresh from the deep blue sea, I started the walk towards JimThompson’s House. The whole world recognized Jim Thompsonand his life in Thailand for his success in rebuilding the silk industrythere. As one of most influential expatriates of that era, JimThompson, who mysteriously disappeared on an ill-fated holidayin Malaysia, left us with his beautiful silk creations which are still inproduction until now, and his stunning house.Located on Soi Kasemsan 2, Jim Thompson’s House consists of acomplex of six traditional Thai-style houses made from teak. Despitethe decorative influence of other great cultures such as Indian,Chinese, Khmer and Burmese, the architectural style of Thai homesremains relatively simple. Built entirely without nails, this house is afine example of how authentic Thai traditions blended with Westerntastes. There is an English guided tour every hour where you canget more stories and details. A visit to the boutique after the tour isa must if you love silk and gorgeous, unique silk products.Before going to Bangkok, a friend of mine suggested a visit to thegigantic reclining Buddha in Wat Pho to partake in the coin ritual. Soafter finishing at Mr. Thompson’shouse, I decided to take one ofBangkok’s famous tuk tuk (threewheelerrickshaw) to Wat Pho.After haggling with simple andbasic English, I was on my way tothe Rattnakosin district.Adjacent to the Grand Palace, WatPho is one of the most famousBuddhist temples, named aftera monastery in India whereBuddha is believed to have lived.In this large temple site lies therenowned Reclining Buddha,which is 15 metres high and 43metres long with his right armsupporting his head of tight curls.It really is quite overwhelmingto see it directly. The room hereis also covered with stunninghand painted murals. Aside fromthe gigantic Buddha, you canalso find 108 bronze bowls alongthe corridor indicating the 108auspicious characters of Buddha.I followed the lead of others,exchanging 20 Baht with a stackof coins and dropping one intoeach bowl, as it is believed tobring good fortune.Little do people know that thistemple is also home to oneof the earliest Thai massageschools. You can either learnthe art of Thai massage yourselfor have someone give you amassage. For just 420 Baht(equivalent to US$13), youcan get an hour’s rejuvenatingThai massage or a relaxingfoot massage. It is totallyworth trying. The day wasalmost at an end by the timeI finished wondering aroundthe Rattnakosin district. Afterwatching a magnificent sunsetby the side of Chao PhrayaRiver, I decided to go to my lastdestination of the day: a MuayThai boxing arena.Located at Lumpinee BoxingStadium, Muay Thai contests areheld every Tuesday, Friday andSaturday, starting from 6PM.Recognized as the indigenoussport of Thailand, Muay Thaiis originally a combat sportthat has existed since the reignof King Naresuan in 1560.Competitors stand uprightstriking with various clinchingtechniques; Muay Thai is a sportthat demands physical andmental discipline. At LumpineeBoxing Stadium, combat isaccompanied by live traditionalmusic which further enhancesthe ambiance.It is truly an experience to seea real fight in the arena withthat mystical music playing aspeople cheer on their favourites.Lumpinee is also one of thefew places in Thailand wheregambling is permitted and ittakes place on the second level.Betting is done by hand signals.However, if you just want toenjoy the game, then the areasby ringside are the best to get aclose up view, though tickets aremore expensive.My one night in Bangkok wastruly memorable and I canhardly wait to go back for more.The hospitality and friendlinessshown by the Thai people is in itsown class. It’s true what MurrayHead once said in his famoussong that one night in Bangkokmakes a hard man humble.I would like to thank TourismAuthority of Thailand Jakarta forall the assistance and experience.98 JANUARY 2014 www.nowjakarta.co.idwww.nowjakarta.co.id JANUARY 2014 99

It remindedme of flights from Saudi Arabia toHeathrow, where the same thinghappens.I spent a few days in Sydney — heavenlyin early December — before flying back toBali on Garuda.In another enlightened gesture, theairport managers have now placed a giant,waist-high Hindu-look ashtray right atthe corner as one enters the ‘Bali Temple’forecourt: this provides a pre-smokingroom ambience and post Armageddon-inminiaturevistas achieved with of almostconcentric circles of hundreds of halfsuckedcigarettes in a sea of black sand.

In In Reflection Reflection“What counts in life isnot the mere fact thatwe have lived. It is whatdifference we have madeto the lives of othersthat will determine thesignificance of the lifewe lead.”— Nelson MandelaThe Passing of a Global HeroText RISTI BROPHYAs the world grieved the passing of oneof the greatest personalities in the historyof mankind, actor Morgan Freemanbecame a trending topic on Twitterwhen people confused him with NelsonMandela. A common mistake, as Freemandid play Mandela in the movie Invictus.Mandela’s exceptional life, filled withhardship and struggle, was definitelynot one that is easily forgotten. BornRolihlahla Mandela, he was christened‘Nelson’ after the admiral by a Britishteacher at the local Methodist schoolthat he attended. Sentenced to lifeimprisonment for 27 years, Mandelabecame the architect of South Africa’stransformation from racial despotismto liberal democracy, and is the firstdemocratically elected President.On 5 December 2013, Mandela returnedto his Maker aged 95 and was buriedin his home land of Qunu in a funeralattended by around 90 representativesfrom foreign states.Let’s take a look at what the world hasto say about Mandela, as compiled bythe BBC. Hope it can help us refreshour memories of what he has donenot only for his country but also forthe international community. NelsonMandela was indeed a global hero. Mayhis legacy stay alive.US President BarackObama. “We’ve lost oneof the most influential,courageous and profoundlygood human beings that anyof us will share time with onthis earth.”French PresidentFrancois Hollande saidMr Mandela’s message would“continue to inspire fightersfor freedom, and to giveconfidence to peoples in thedefence of just causes anduniversal rights”.Germany’s AngelaMerkel said Mr Mandela’s“political legacy ofnon-violence and thecondemnation of all formsof racism” would continue toinspire.Venezuelan PresidentNicolas Maduro comparedthe death of Mr Mandela to thepassing of the late Venezuelanleader, Hugo Chavez: “Ninemonths after the departure ofour commander, today anothergiant of the people leaves thisworld. Madiba you will liveforever!”British Prime MinisterDavid Cameron: “A greatlight has gone out in theworld. Mr Mandela was atowering figure in our time;a legend in life and now indeath - a true global hero.”South African ex-President FW de Klerk,who freed Mr Mandela fromprison in 1990 and shared theNobel Peace Prize with him in1993, said: “Tata, we shall missyou - but know that your spiritand example will always bethere to guide us to the visionof a better and more justSouth Africa.”Former US Secretary ofState Hillary Clinton saidMr Mandela’s appeal had beenuniversal: “To combine withinone’s self the contradictionsthat he lived with, a lawyerand a freedom fighter, aprisoner and a leader, a manof anger and of forgiveness,has so captured the hearts ofpeople not only in his country,but as we are seeing with theoutpouring of response tohis death, people around theworld.”Former US PresidentBill Clinton: “We willremember him as a manof uncommon grace andcompassion, for whomabandoning bitterness andembracing adversaries wasnot just a political strategybut a way of life.”“Mr Mandela made us allunderstand that nobodyshould be penalised forthe colour of his skin or thecircumstances into which hewas born,”Burmese oppositionleader and Nobelpeace prize laureate,Aung San Suu Kyisaid. “He also made usunderstand that we canchange the world.”Morgan Freeman:“Nelson Mandela was a manof incomparable honor,unconquerable strengthand unyielding resolve-- a saint to many, a heroto all who treasure liberty,freedom and the dignity ofhumankind.”108 JANUARY 2014 www.nowjakarta.co.id
