Tax Amnesty Implementation:
Government To Prepare Legal Base
President University Executive Club (PEC) and Pusat
Data Bisnis Indonesia (Indonesian Business Database
Center (PDBI)), President University and Rumah Kreasi
Indonesia Hebat (House of Wonderful Indonesian
Creations (RKIH)) held a discussion on the implementation of tax amnesty for economic security for the years
2015-2020. The discussion took place in the President
Lounge at Menara Batavia, Jakarta, on Tuesday, June 30
2015.
Tax amnesty has been implemented in many countries in the
world, developed and developing. There have been many
success stories as well as
failures. India (1997), Ireland
(1988) and Italy (1982, 1984,
2001/2002) are amongst the
success stories of tax amnesty
implementation.
Meanwhile,
Argentina (1987) and France
(1982 and 1986) experienced
failure in implementing tax
amnesty.
Second Director of Tax Regulations at The Directorate General
of Taxes, John Hutagaol, said
during the discussion that at
least 31 countries in the world,
including Portugal and Australia, had implemented tax amnesty. The success level of said
implementation differs from
country to country. For Indonesia, the government expects to
pull a revenue of IDR 1,000
trillion out of up to IDR 4,000
trillion that is deposited
overseas, especially Singapore.
“McKinsey said that there is a
total of IDR 2,000 trillion (US$
150 billion) in cash and another
IDR 2,000 trillion (US$ 150
billion) in assets belonging to
Indonesian citizens in Singapore. Not to mention the funds in
Macau, Hong Kong, Luxemburg, Switzerland and Cayman
Islands. If we can put a 10% tax
amnesty to every IDR 1,000
trillion (US$ 74.8 billion) we
can have at least IDR 100 trillion
to add to the state budget,” said
Hutagaol.
The government is currently
preparing a legal base for tax
amnesty implementation in the
form of a set of laws or a
presidential decree. Tax amnesty
is set for implementation in
October 2015 at the earliest.
“Ideally we need new laws for
tax amnesty as a mere presidential decree is not enough. We are
presently waiting for President
Joko Widodo’s approval, which
should not take long since The
THE PRESIDENT POST
House of Representatives has
shown positive responses,”
Hutagaol continued.
According to Hutagaol, the
implementation of tax amnesty
can help the government
achieve a tax revenue of IDR
1.239 trillion (US$ 92.7 million)
this year, 31% higher than last
year’s target. As of June 2015,
only 38% of the target revenue
has been achieved. Tax amnesty
will cover basic taxes, administration and fiscal sanctions as
well as fines of crimes such as
graft, money laundering and
illegal logging.
“We have asked business
owners for input on the tax
amnesty. Some asked for 3%,
the others 5% or 7%. We offered
10-15%, including guarantee of
confidentiality and immunity to
examinations by other instances,” explained Hutagaol.
Those entitled to tax amnesty
are individual and corporate tax
subjects. Tax amnesty procedure includes disclosure of asset
ownership, which means filling
out a tax amnesty form and
attaching documents of asset
ownership data. Remission
period of tax amnesty has an
expiry because it is based on the
lex specialis laws.
“Should a tax subject wish to
apply for next year’s tax amnes-
ty, he will have to attach cut-offs
of some of his assets by December 31 2015, and the fee for this
year is cheaper than next year’s.
However, we still apply a 10%
off tolerance level, which means
that amnesty will not be granted
if there is more than 10%
deviation between data of taxed
assets and facts,” Hutagaol said.
Tax amnesty revenues will be
used for Surat Berharga Negara
(State Treasure Notes (SBN) or
property purchase that allows 10
years for installments.
“There should be something to
keep the revenues in the country,
like turning it into SBN or
property or other assets so the
money will not go back
overseas, since we still apply
free
foreign
exchange,”
explained Hutagaol again.
Meanwhile, not everybody
agrees on the implementation of
tax amnesty. Suryadi Sasmita,
Vice President of Asosiasi
Pengusaha Indonesia (Association of Indonesian Business
Owners
(APINDO))
and
member of The Ministry of
Finance’s Tax Revenue Optimization Team, said that tax
amnesty would mean not giving
sanctions to money embezzlers.
“Anyone involved in graft can
walk free with tax amnesty, but
looking at the national reconciliation, about 70% of APINDO
members agree on tax amnesty,”
he said.
Also attending the event was
S.D. Darmono, founder of
President Executive Club, who
also gave an opening remark.
Panel members of the discussion
consisted of John Hutagaol,
Suryadi Sasmita, Chairman of
The House of Representatives’
Commission of Human Rights,
Law and Security Aziz Syamsuddin, Founder and Chairman
of PDBI Christianto Wibisono
and President University’s Head
of Accounting Study Program
Josep Ginting. The discussion
was moderated by Media
Indonesia News Director Usman
Kansong.

elements in management. From these HR,

Opinion
Post Presidential Election (2015-2019)
Ideal Programs And Infrastructure Development
By : Samsul Hadi, Head of LKN RKIH
Indonesia has a wealth of professionals and other human
resources. We really need to
have a collective vision that is in
line with Nawa Cita, the government’s post presidential election
vision and mission, in order to
realize an Indonesia that is
integrated, independent and
prosperous.
Any kind of development costs,
and even if the funds are
available it does not mean that
we can easily reach ideal results.
We need short, medium and long
term plans, in which we have fit
the right human resources and
landscapes that are environmentally friendly. To achieve the
latter we need to ensure the
availability of material construction.
Geopolitical changes that have
been going on faster than ever
demand that the government be
able to compete globally. Being
able to compete globally means
we have to improve the competitiveness of many sectors.
Geographically, Indonesia has
two thirds more sea than lands.
This we can see from coastal
lines in every land in Indonesia
which altogether form a length
of 81,000 km. Therefore,
Indonesia has the one of the
longest coastal lines in the
world, second only to Canada.
This is one of Indonesia’s
strengths that can help the
country better its economy.
Combine our long collective
coastal line with our natural
resources, we have just the right
ingredients for the prosperity of
all citizens of Indonesia.
To manage all these riches well,
we need geospatial information
as ruled in Law no.4 year 2011.
Amongst the many advantages
of geospatial information, we
can use it to minimize the effects
of natural disasters.
As a base of plans, implementations and supervision of
developments, we need an
inventory of data on state agrarian assets. This is to optimize the
use of agrarian assets through
one map policy for developmental purposes.
Land use is a space structure and
pattern that are formed on the
national, regional and local
scales. This is ruled in National
Land Use, Area Land Use and
City Land Use.
A space covers land space,
ocean space and air space. It also
includes space below earth and
collectively these spaces are
where human beings and other
living creatures live and do
activities that maintain their
survival.
President Joko Widodo said that
the
government
currently
focused on the use of state
budget
for
infrastructure
development. In his opening
remarks at the National Development Plan meeting at Bidakara Hotel, Jakarta, on April 29, he
said that his government would
concentrate on agriculture,
irrigation, dams, as well as ports,
roads and tollways that connect
cities, regencies and provinces.
At the same opportunity,
President Widodo also said that
infrastructure
development
highly depended on the budget
of provinces, regencies and
cities.
As every development needs a
land, we need a breakthrough to
prevent any land acquisition
problems.
The following steps can be
applied: (1) Keeping the balance
between the need of land for
development and land availability; (2) Make sure land value is
efficient and fair; (3) Taking
control of land market mechanism, efficiency and price
rationality; and (4) Combining
policies on strategy, implementation and evaluation related to
land.We need a state policy that
contains necessary legal aspects
for the establishment of a “land
institution”, which will manage
land acquisition in cities.
Currently, there are plenty of
lands which still comply to
Eigendom Verponding. What is
Eigendom Verponding (EV)? In
the history of Indonesian agrarian law, EV is a Dutch occupation legacy which was set for
lands belonging to Indonesian
residents. Literally, “eigendom”
means permanent ownership of
land and “verpoding” means tax
bills of land and buildings.
“Verponding” is now known as
“Bill of Oustanding Taxes for
Land and Buildings.”
Meanwhile, “eigendom” should
be renamed “Land Ownership
Rights” in accordance to Law
no.5 Year 1960 on Agrarian
Affairs.
The government has promised to
solve agrarian and housing
issues one by one. At present,
the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs
and Land Use has currently been
discussing the abolishment of
Tax Object Selling Point, Land
Building Tax and Revenues of
Land and Building Rights.
On this abolishment plan, Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Land
Use Ferry Baldan said that these
bills were of no use. For
example, he said, property prices
were always above Tax Object
Selling Point, and the bill was
used to lower the land sale taxes.
Meanwhile, to lessen the burden
of citizens while buying a house,
the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs
and Land Use applies one-time
taxes for land or building certificates. The ministry also encourages land reform for benefits of
land ownership and use of
natural resources through renewals of main agrarian laws.
In the administration of
President Soekarno in the 1960s,
ideas of moving the capital city
from Jakarta to another city had
been bounced. Such ideas were
also bounced during the Dutch
occupation in the 19th century,
and indeed in early 20th century
the Dutch tried to move the
capital city from Jakarta (then
known as Batavia) to Bandung,
but the plan failed due to the
Great Depression followed by
World War II.
In 2010, debates went around
about a possible new capital
city, which was to be separated
from the center of business and
commerce. Then President
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
supported that idea of a new
center for state politics and
administration due to the
already tense issues of population and environment in Jakarta.
Also during the Yudhoyono
administration, issues of one
time zone in Indonesia went
around. No agreement was
achieved on a single time zone
in 2012, and the Widodo administration is expected to issue
approval for a single time zone
of GMT +8. The main reason
behind this the country’s preparation for ASEAN Economic
Community, which will take
place in August 2015.
Indonesia is on its way to
independence,
agriculture-based food security ,
maximum use of energy based
on national interests and
restoration of maritime economy. To achieve that, the government needs to improve the
citizens’
productivity
and
competitiveness on the global
level.
Therefore, the
needs to build:
government
-New roads at least 2,000 km
long
-At least 10 new ports and
renovate existing ones
-At least 10 new airports and
-At least 10 new industrial areas
and provide housing for laborers
-At least 5,000 new traditional
markets all over the country and
-A number of science and
technology parks around universities and schools with the latest
facilities built using the latest
technology
-Overall reformation on the
quality of citizens in terms of
prosperity, education and health
-An agrarian reform of nine
million-hectare lands to distribute equally to farmers, and also
to be used for subsidized flats
and welfare.
-One-stop services for investment and licensing efficiency
which will shorten processes to
just 15 working days maximum.

Issues of food security and
energy security have emerged
not only at regional and global
context, but currently have also
been experienced by most of the
people of Indonesia. The high
price of fuel and basic food
commodities
made
public
protest to President Joko
Widodo during demonstration in
front of the Presidential Palace
May 20, 2015 (National Awakening Day). The emergence of
two issues dominated the
political system since the
Indonesian presidential election
campaign in Presidential Candidates and Vice President on July
20, 2014. However, availability
and access to food is a basic
human right. The Food and
Agriculture Organization has
pledged in the Rome Declaration
on World Food Security to
achieve food security and halve
the level of global hunger to 400
million by 2015.
While, in Indonesia’s case, the
fundamental policies still seem
to be unclear. The Global Food
Security Index shows that by
2012 in terms of food security
Indonesia ranks 65 out of 105
countries studied.
Thus, the weaknesses’ of food
security programs in Indonesia
are: too much focus on rice
production but not on farmers’
incomes and the dominance role
of the government that leaves
little opportunity for people to
develop food security initiatives
based on local resources.
Indonesia’s presidents elect
Joko Widodo and his Vice
President Jusuf Kalla designed a
nine priorities agenda called
“Nawa Cita” for his presidency
in 2014 to 2019. According to
Jokowi’s winning team, this
agenda is Jokowi’s priority for
Indonesia’s political sovereignty
and independence in economy
and culture. It is translated here
as a recapitulation as Mr
Widodo is about to be sworn in
as President on 20 October 2014.
On 27 May, 2015, the Center of
Strategic Analyst (DAS) of State
Intelligence Agency (BIN)
Republic of Indonesia together
with Study Program of International
Relations
President
University, and its affiliated
Student Association (HIMA)
organized, Seminar and Book
Launch of Dr. Muhammad U.S.
Hikam, carrying the idea:
"Down to earth Nawa Cita:
Eradicating Poverty through
National Food and Energy
Security 2015", in Cikarang,
City of Jababeka, Bekasi. Dr.
Muhammad A.S. Hikam, Chairman of the Center for Strategic
Analyst in front of 400 students,
academics,
and
university
researchers explained, "What
and how Indonesia’s 'bargaining
position' within the next five
years (2015-2020) can be
survived in the globalization?".
It seems match and link with the
dynamics balance of the
surrounding strategic environment, international phenomena,
and
government
proactive
policy issues, in dealing with
food and energy crises at regional and international arena.
While, DAS BIN Secretary,
Brigadier General (Ret) Ir.
Nurdiyanto illustrates how the
global economic crisis can lead
Indonesia into poverty, which
will be filled with the productive
unemployed
and
street
criminals; bad public health;
worst infrastructure; as well as
the high cost of energy and
electricity consumption ahead of
2025. Such conditions can be so
fatal, if the President Joko
Widodo does not willing to
anticipate the crisis urgently to
implementing national strategy
based on his Nine Priorities
Agenda,”Nawa Cita”.
Vice Rector 3, A.A. Banyu
Perwita, Ph.D., stressed the need
for consistency and commitment
of the Indonesian government in
regulating agriculture and oil
and gas energy policy simultaneously aimed at human sustainable development. Post 2008
global economic financial crisis,
the world leaders attention
focused on their country's
national interests to anticipate
food and energy crisis, including
Indonesia. Unfortunate absence
of resource person with respect
to energy security from the PT.
Pertamina, which represented
Ifki Sukarya, Media Relations
Manager; Agus Mashud S.
Asngari, CSR manager; and
Agoes
Boedijono,
Brand
Manager suddenly, canceled
attendance.
Joko Widodo had identified
three main existing problems in
Indonesia, which are: (1)
Threats to the authority of the
state. The country has lost its
capability to impose its authority
and failed to ensure the safety of
all citizens, detect future threats
to its sovereignty, protect human
rights and uphold a strong law
enforcement, leading to the
people’s distrust towards public
institutions; (2) Weaknesses in
the pillars of the economy: this is
shown by the continued high
rate of poverty, welfare inequality, development gap between
regions, environmental destruction as a result of over-exploitation on the country’s natural
resources, as well as a high
dependency on food, energy,
finance and technology; and (3)
Intolerance and crisis of national
character: the weakening in
Indonesia’s national character as
a nation of high-spirited fighters
as a result of the spread of
sectarian conflict which reduces
the spirit of solidarity and
mutual cooperation.
The following are Jokowi’s nine
priorities agenda to tackle those
problems: (1) To renew the
state’s obligation to protect all
people and provide security to
all citizens through the free and
active foreign policy, national
security and the development of
reliable national defense based
on integrated national interests
and strengthening national
identity as a maritime nation; (2)
The presence of the government
through a clean, effective, democratic, and reliable governance,
by giving priority and efforts to
restore public confidence in
democratic institutions and
continue the consolidation of
democracy through reform of
the political party system,
electoral and representative
institutions; (3) To build Indonesia from its periphery; to
strengthening the rural areas
within the framework of a
unitary state of Indonesia; (4) To
reject a weak state by reforming
the system through corruption-free dignified, and reliable
law enforcement; (5) To
improve the quality of Indonesians by improving the quality of
education and training through
“Smart Indonesia” program and
increasing Indonesia’s social
welfare and health through the
“Healthy Indonesia” and “Prosperous Indonesia” programs.
To encourage land reform and
land ownership for the people in
Indonesia by 2019; (6) To
improve people’s productivity
and competitiveness in the
international market so that
Indonesian can move forward
and stand up with other Asian
nations; (7) To achieve economic independence by moving the
strategic sectors to domestic
economy; (8) To revolutionize
the nation’s character through a
policy of restructuring the
national education curriculum
with advanced civic education;
to teach the history of the nation,
the values of patriotism and to
love the country, as well as to
build the passion and character
to defend the state through
national education; and (9) To
strengthen diversity and social
restoration of Indonesia by
highlighting the policy of education for diversity and creating
spaces of dialogue among
citizens.
Food security has three pillars:
availability, access and utilization of food. Experts elaborate
that food security systems and
strategies can be developed into
five interrelated subsystems
namely production, process,
distribution,
access
and
consumption of food. The
paradigm shift toward the
production and consumption of a
variety of local food will reduce
the reliance on one type of staple
food,
import
dependence,
increasing access to healthy food
as well as economic opportunities.
A food diversification program
has been introduced by the
government and is expected to
encourage increasing the variety
of food consumption patterns.
As reported by The Ministry of
Agriculture (2012), that rice
consumption in Indonesia was
still around 316 grams per capita
per day, considerably larger than
the target of 275 grams per
capita per day. The demand for
rice is still very huge, amounting
to 2.7 to 2.8 million tons per
month.
Meanwhile
the
consumption of tubers is still
considerably low, only at 40
grams from the target of 100
grams per capita. But, rice
production has been rather
stagnant over the last 10 years.
The Central Statistics Agency
(BPS) reported that rice-harvesting areas increased from 11.53
million hectares in 2002 to 13.35
million ha in 2012, while rice
production rose from 51.49
million tons (un-husked) in 2002
to 59.04 million tons in 2012.
However, rice production is still
concentrated in a few provinces
in Java, accounting for over 50
percent of national production.
The other provinces that contribute above 5 percent to total
production are South Sulawesi
(7.1 percent), North Sumatra
(5.4 percent) and South Sumatra
(5.0 percent). Noted by the
National Food Security Council
(2010), in an macro perspective,
the level of grain consumption
tends to decrease (ranging from
0.45 per cent in the period
2005-2009), through a reduction
in consumption of rice (0.67
percent per year) and maize
(5.96 percent per year).
The reduction of rice consumption has caused new food
problems, because this decrease
caused wheat consumption to
increase by 6.63 percent per
year. The latest data shows that
the import of wheat and wheat
flour has reached about 7 million
tons. National development
policy of food diversification
can be interpreted as the
presence of wide varieties of
food at all times, which is an
important strategy for food
security. Appropriate policy
measures on food diversification
should be introduced at any level
ranging from the central government to village level. It includes
systems of production, distribution, purchasing and marketing,
protection and consumption of
local food.
So, the advocacy of communication strategies on food security
and food diversification should
be properly arranged with
targets on related governmental
agencies, political leaders,
pressure
groups,
business
organizations, and social leaders
at any level through interpersonal and media approaches.
The government policy of one
day no rice, non-rice dishes
made for meetings and guest
visits, development of various
refined products made from
local food such as the development of various modified
cassava flour, full use of root
and tuber crops in several
regions of Indonesia could be an
alternative strategy to reduce
rice and wheat consumption.
Thus, the clear roadmap of
research and action on the
development of local food
sources is badly needed. Local
food development will lead to an
increase in the variety of
processed healthy food and their
modifications, as well as attract
young consumers and urban
consumers.
In changing the behavior of local
food consumption the schools
have a strategic role in the
provision of knowledge through
curriculum support as well as
behavioral models, for example:
school regulations to endorse
bringing lunch meals from
home, the availability of a
variety snacks made from local
food commodities in school
cafeterias and also the use of
school yards or gardens for
experimental local food cultivation.
The nurture of awareness on
food diversification can be
helped by the utilization of
various groups both formal and
non-formal institutions, such as
healthcare institutions, research,
religious groups, farmer groups,
women’s groups and youth
groups. The Ministry of Agriculture stated Joko Widodo government immediately establishes an
integrated regional food estate in
Borneo by 2016, with provided a
land area of 500 thousand
hectares. Consequently, the
character of Indonesian agriculture and food will be shifted
from rural farming system based
on the family agriculture into
corporate farming system based
agricultural production.
There are five solutions offered
to the President, namely: (1)
Develop land, sea, and air
transportation
infrastructure
facilities supporting the food
commodities leading sectors,
namely rice, corn, soybeans; as
well as oil and gas energy
inter-connection; (2) Ensure
food and energy availability
through 2025; (3) Establish and
manage early warning food and
energy
crisis
mechanism
transparently, measurable, and
integrated; (4) Eliminate mafia
of food and energy in Indonesia;
(5) Build Food, Energy, and
Water Sovereignty as a basic
requirement of sustainable
human development, as mandated by Article 33 of the 1945
Constitution.

ASIAN-AFRICAN RELATION
The Developing World
1955 ASIAN-AFRICAN
CONFERENCE
The recent Asia-Africa summit
of April 2015 in Jakarta was held
to commemorate the 60th
anniversary of the Asian-African Conference in Bandung. The
1955 Bandung Conference was
in fact the first largest and
strategic gathering between
leaders of the two largest
continents of the world.
It will be recalled that the historical meeting was attended by a
number of prominent leaders of
the two continents. As shown on
the pictorial drawing below. It
shows from left to right: Zhou
Enlai, Gamal Abdel Nasser,
Jawaharlal Nehru , John Kotelawa, Sukarno, U Nu and Muhammad Ali Bogra.
It was an extremely large gathering with Indonesia chosen as the
host and lead country. Attended
by delegates from 109 Asian-African nations, 16 observer states,
and 25 international organizations. Observed by 5000 domestic and international members of
the media.
It will be noted that the very
large number of participants
during the recent Jakarta
meeting demonstrated once
again that the nations of Asia
and Africa still recall with
respect and admiration what
happened in Bandung on April
24, 1955.
THE BANDUNG SPIRIT
There are different and even
opposing views on the 1955
Bandung Conference. One of the
positive suggestion is to see the
Conference not as an ordinary
large meeting. Or as a usual
diplomatic gathering of heads of
states. As is frequently happening today.
But that the 1955 Bandung AA
conference be seen as a unique
event with its special spirit.
Known as the Bandung spirit. A
conference where the aspirations
of the once oppressed nations of
the world was launched. By
representatives of two very large
underdeveloped continents of
the world.
There is the impression that it
was a gathering where the
socalled “battle cry” of leaders
of underdeveloped nations was
heard. With the purpose to end
colonialism, to abolish racism,
and to avoid the use of force in
settling disputes.

The Changing
Global Economy
Today, some sixty years
later, one can observe in
clear terms the immense
changes taking place in
the global economy.
Amidst
their
many
obstacles and shortcomings and the declining
trend of the global economy, Asia and Africa are
showing that they have
the ability and strong
desire to transform their
countries from poor to
more well-off countries.

Within a few decades Asia has
succeeded to be on top of
countries with rapidly growing
economies (+ 5.7% growth) led
by China, India but also Indonesia. Followed by Sub-Sahara
Africa, and the Middle East and
North Africa. At the same time
there is the deep recognition that
much has still to be done to
achieve better conditions for
their people.
The following pointers contain
(right or wrong) some preliminary observations and suggestions:
•
The
Asian–African
Conference provide Indonesia
with an added economic-business area to play with. Needed to
expand and strengthen the weak
country’s external economic
relations;
INDONESIA
According to a recent survey by
Bloomberg among the 20
Fastest-Growing Economies for
2015 some 11 countries
represent Asia-Africa. Namely
China, the Philippines, Kenya,
India,
Indonesia,
Nigeria,
Malaysia, Thailand, South
Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.
Peru, Colombia and Mexico
from Latin America.
Indonesia- Africa economic
relations :
Indonesian trade with Africa has
been low. Especially compared
to such Asian countries as
China, Japan, India and South
Korea. According to the IMF the
largest traders from ASEAN
include Thailand and Indonesia.
It must be surprising to know,
however, that in fact some 14
Indonesian companies have
been quietly on the move to
explore and reach Africa. To
bring up business ventures
particularly in the area of trade
which now amounts to some
US$ 10,7 billion.
Apparently the presently attractive products from Indonesia are
presently in such fields as : palm
oil, textiles, culinary products
But also electronics, Toyota cars
and automotive components.
Even Wijaya Karya is already in
the construction area and another company in the area of
petro-chemical items. Trade
with Africa is still difficult to
pursue but the prospects ahead
are plentiful as many countries
experience.
TO EXPAND EXTERNAL
ECONOMIC
RELATIONS
•
The global economy is
changing quite rapidly. With the
developing countries fastly on
the move. To reach the position
closely on par with the
developed countries. To face the
growth of a multipolar world,
with Asia as the epy-center;

The G-7 countries,
however, remain the richest and

the world. Particularly in the
area of technology, combined
with their vast experience;

Much

business is currently moving to
centers of growth: To Asia with
China and India in the lead; to
the Middle East particularly the
Gulf countries. And to the Latin
American countries a.o Brazil,
Mexico, Columbia.
To take advantage to go global: Jokowi kumpulkan menteri ekonomi di istana Bogor
there is the need for most
Indonesian business to have a
good look to the upcoming
prospective regions of the world.
Particularly among the developing countries. Among others to
Asia-Africa and Latin America.
And to develop in particular
good partnership such as
joint-ventures with enterprises
from other countries to strengthen their competitive position to
go regional and global. (A/S)
was the adoption of the Ten
Principles, the Bandung Dasa
Sila on international relations. In
addition the meeting highlighted
the urgent need to promote the
birth of new independent
countries, particularly in Africa.
It has also resulted in the
emergence of the Non-aligned
Movement at the time of the
cold war. And the frequent calls
for a better situation and
position for the people of the
under-developed nations in Asia
and Africa.

Our Oil and Gas Reserves
Regardless of whether

plenty of oil and gas

that Indonesia must

Like family, perhaps that can

May 11, 1992 is now entering

statement right after he was installed as the head of the country’s oil and gas regulator SKKMigas on 15 January 2013.
Rudi said that the oil production
in 2013 reaches the lowest level. The country’s oil production
target continues to drop despite
the production target of 900,000

Prior to that, the late Prof. Widjajono Partowidagdo, whom

ment has not been able to provide reliable data about the real
oil and gas reserves in Indonesia. For how long will they still be
available and keep up with our
daily production target? Can’t
it be measured with a more reliable data rather than with assumptions that only lead to wild
opinions?
The government would actually face a dilemma if it came out
with a reliable data. If the data
showed that there were only little left, it would automatically create pessimism. Pessimism
would have implications on the
government’s policies especial-
ly those related to cooperation
contracts with contractors. But
if the answers were that we still
have plenty of reserves, it would
automatically create a sense of
optimism and it will increase our
bargaining power.

until today issued data on Indonesia’s oil and gas reserves either by the Energy and Mineral
Resources Ministry or the National Energy Board. In one of
the hearings between the House
Commission VII and geologists
in 2011, geologists said that they
too didn’t know how much oil
and gas reserves Indonesia has.
The government, in this case
the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, should compile data and issue an official
information so that the public
can understand the real condition. The data should of course
be based on international standards so that the public can support all policies that the government decides to take.

try with its administration capacity can maintain its integrity and sovereignty in managing
its bureaucracy to achieve its national development agenda.
Domestification and internationalization process will play
bigger roles in the government’s
management in the era of globalization in which traditional
borders of a country will become
more and more blurred. One of
the impacts that we will encounter from such a process is growing demand for better transparency, accountability and
professionalism in dealing with
both national and international
issues. Our unwillingness and
incapability in managing nation-
al development matters professionally will only open the door
to foreign intervention, either by
countries that have signed certain accords and those that have
not. These are already reflected
in a wide range of development
problems, especially in the management of the domestic natural
resources.
There are at least three crucial
points related to the actors involved in our bureaucracy management. First of all, the country
actors are the most important
actors in the administration and
bureaucracy management. Sec-

countries’ needs for coordination cooperation pattern among
state bureaucratic institutions.
On the other hand, this model
also refers to the interaction patterns between the state actors
and non-state actors in providing public policies and services.
In this context, the term commonly used to explain the interaction pattern between state and
non-state actors is informal international administration and
bureaucracy. This concept refers
to administration and bureaucracy regulations and manage-

necessity to understand what international administration and
bureaucracy is in order to understand the “relational state model”. On one hand, this model re-
ment which make both domestic
and international accords become more flexible, not too binding with regards to many of the
state’s non-political issues.
At this point, the demand for
full competence on international
administration and bureaucracy
in this globalization era becomes
higher because it will affect the
effectiveness level that can be
applied in various local, national
and global issues. The administration competence is also related with the quality of good public governance which carries 8
(eight) characteristics, namely: participatory, consensus, accountability, transparancy, responsiveness, effectiveness and
efficiency, equitability and compliance with the law.
Secondly, the lack of or absence of competence in bureaucracy will only lead to three types
of malgovernance, namely bad
governance, weak governance
and underdeveloped global governance. The three malgovernances which are marked by
weak national leadership and
lack of austerity will only result in various multidimensional problems in the local, national and international level. That’s
exactly what Indonesia is facing
right now in its national development management.

Recurring revenue from the
infrastructure businesses (mainly power, water & port) make
up 65% of the revenue in 1Q15,
compared to 55% in 1Q14.
This overall larger portion of
recurring revenue is the main
reason that the consolidated
gross profit margin reduced
from 47% in 2014 to 40% in
2015.
Infrastructure revenue, although
providing steady, predictable

income was recorded at Rp81
billion as per March 31 2015,
significantly lower compared to
the same period of 2014 when
KIJA recorded Rp 301 billion in

The main reason for this difference is because KIJA recorded a
