WELCOME MESSAGE
H.E. Joko Widodo
President of the Republic of Indonesia
The World Islamic Economic Forum is a
unique and singular platform for developing
new partnerships. It brings together the
opportunities of the rapidly growing Islamic
economy to build international collaborations.
As a platform for Muslim and non-Muslim
nations and business to work together,
the World Islamic Economic Forum not only
helps to deliver valuable business relationships,
but also provides a key opportunity for deeper
and more rewarding cultural understanding.
The main theme of the 12th WIEF, “Decentralising Growth, Empowering Future
Business” resonates well with Indonesia’s current challenges. As the economy
of Indonesia keeps growing, the distribution of growth should not only be
focused on the major industries and business players. Recently, we have
witnessed the rise of startups in Indonesia, from eCommerce, eMarketplace,
service-based companies, and many more. They are continuously innovating
and improving their business practice to become more efficient, low-cost,
and reachable for everyone. These new players are the one who will reshape
the economic landscape.
The 12th WIEF will also acknowledge the important roles of SMEs to elevate the
economic growth around the globe, far from the preceding dominance of major
multinationals which only represent a small portion of the business community
for any particular country. The discussions will drive concerns, questions,
and most importantly, solutions for the SMEs.
Islamic Finance is set to play a vital part in developing the financial environment
to further propel us forward as a nation. However, finance is just one aspect of
the Islamic economy, which is set to deliver significant rewards for those of us
who embrace it. The creative industries, Islamic travel and halal food markets,
are other areas which are expected to see a significant leap in growth,
as regional and global development expand for wider opportunities.
It is our belief that the World Islamic Economic Forum provides the template
for that collaboration, a platform where Muslim and non-Muslim alike can
work together for our mutual benefit. It also provides a unique opportunity
for business within Indonesia, offering a platform for discussions around
private-public partnership in infrastructure, financial services,
manufacturing and many more.
FOREWORD
The Hon. Tun Musa Hitam
Chairman of the WIEF Foundation
In the eight years since the global financial crisis
of 2008, the only constant in our ever-changing
world is change itself. Even as the US dollar
struggles to recover, post-Brexit Europe is in
crisis while new powerhouses—particularly
China and Russia—are navigating their way in
a considerably less secure world.
What does this mean for emerging economies
in general and Muslim economies in particular?
What is the impact of these changes on
our lives? How can we remain resilient and
committed to the ethical and sustainable growth that is the cornerstone of
the global Islamic economy?
In seeking answers to these questions, the WIEF’s mission has become more
relevant than ever, and the theme of the 12th WIEF— Decentralising Growth,
Empowering Future Business—articulates the Muslim world’s collective
response to the crises that continue to grip conventional markets, economies
and societies around the world.
These crises have shown us repeatedly that future economic growth must
be inclusive, meaning that we must move away from the domination of
multinationals in favour of small and medium businesses that must form the
primary sources of economic growth in all nations.
If our future prosperity is to be ethical and sustainable, we must empower local
businesses and communities. We must diffuse economic power from the centre
throughout the periphery so that we may all share equitably in the fruits of our
collective efforts.
This transition cannot happen overnight. For this reason, the 12th WIEF focuses
on aspects of economic empowerment that are best suited to catalysing
positive change for local communities. Industry leaders will share their views on
disruptive technologies and infrastructure funding while experts will explore
how established corporations and startups can synergise.
A special focus on micro-businesses will examine ways to improve SME access
to credit as well as explore new opportunities in digitised trade, and of particular
interest will be the discussion on upgrading Indonesian micro-businesses for better
access to markets and funding. Of course, the WIEF Exhibition and the trailblazing
MOCAfest will once again provide a multidisciplinary platform, the latter in particular
for talented individuals from around the world to collaborate and exchange ideas that
can help empower millions of people around the world.
Many of the problems we will explore require urgent solutions. The WIEF remains
deeply committed to helping communities discover those solutions jointly and in
the spirit of friendship.
I take this opportunity to thank the Government of Indonesia and the Ministry
of Finance for hosting the 12th WIEF. This is the second time that the WIEF has
gathered in Jakarta, and on behalf of the WIEF Foundation, I would like to record
my gratitude to the Government of Indonesia for its enduring support.
I wish all speakers, delegates and participants a happy, productive, enlightening
and valuable time here at the 12th WIEF.
PATRON’S MESSAGE
The Hon. Dato’ Sri Mohd
Najib Tun Abdul Razak
Prime Minister of Malaysia and
Patron of the WIEF Foundation
It gives me great pleasure to see the annual
World Islamic Economic Forum, now in its 12th
edition, returning for a second time to Jakarta.
On behalf of the WIEF Foundation, I would
like to record my deepest appreciation of
H.E. Joko Widodo, the President of Indonesia,
for Indonesia’s continuing support of and
friendship with the WIEF.
This year’s theme— Decentralising Growth,
Empowering Future Business—is an apt
response to the persistent challenges to world
economic and political security as well as new developments sparked by events
such as the Brexit referendum in June and its consequences for Europe in the
global economy.
Viewed as part of a single continuum of cause and effect, many in Europe have
had to deal with the aftershocks of the 2008 global economic crisis without
having fully recovered—and now the possibility of a new crisis looms on the
horizon.
And yet a perspective beyond the Eurocentric worldview paints a very different
picture: according to the Thompson Reuters/DinarStandard State of the Global
Islamic Economy Report 2015/2016, the world’s Muslim economy grew at
almost double the global rate in 2014/2015, with Muslim consumer spending set
to reach US$2.6 trillion in 2020.
Closer to home, the ASEAN region recorded robust Gross Domestic Product
growth of 4.5 per cent in 2015 when Malaysia was Chair of the grouping, and is
expected to post marginally higher results for 2016 despite global uncertainty.
These two facts alone indicate that the decentralisation of economic growth
is not merely desirable but necessary in building more stable and just societies
in the future.
The domination of the global economy by major multinational corporations creates
a host of inequalities that inhibits competition and disadvantages small and medium
businesses as well as local communities, and this is as applicable here in Indonesia
as it is anywhere in the world.
In adverse economic conditions, this unequal relationship creates troubling systemic
vulnerabilities that jeopardise entire societies and we have seen its results several
times in recent decades: even our even vocabulary—which applies terms such as
“contagion” to financial crises—shows how serious the situation has become.
The way forward is clear: we must empower small and medium businesses at the
local level while remaining united in our vision for a prosperous and sustainable
future built on foundations that are just, ethical and inclusive. Whether we live
in Indonesia, ASEAN, the Middle East, Africa, Europe or elsewhere in the world,
the Islamic economy is more globally relevant now than ever before.
In discussing these issues here at the 12th WIEF, I pray that participants will discover
new ways to promote the Islamic economy as well as new innovative partnerships
and friendships that can transcend borders and help return balance to our
increasingly troubled world.

OUTLOOK
The Rise of the
Consumer Economy
Venue: Plenary Hall
In the past, entire supply chains were controlled by a few large
companies. Today, this is being challenged by new consumer-driven
frameworks that allow consumers to design, build, market, distribute
and trade among themselves. This bottom up approach to value
creation is fuelled by peer to peer networks, and DIY platforms that
constitute the ‘frugal economy’. Will frugal economics shape the next
decade? What will happen to the traditional value supply chain?

Can Islamic Fashion
Venue: Plenary Hall
Islamic fashion is often criticised for only catering for the Muslim
consumer market, and will not make it mainstream and high fashion.
But facts tell us otherwise. The consumer base for Islamic fashion
draws from a diverse range of people who are also non-Muslims.
And by the sheer number of potential consumer spending, this sector
will take the world by storm. In 2013, Muslims spend US$266 billion on
fashion alone, more than that of Japan and Italy combined. This figure
is expected to increase to US$484 billion in 2019. For a market
estimated to be worth US$96 billion, and with many mainstream
brands creating modest fashion capsules, the modest/Islamic fashion
movement can make it big. What are the constraints and prospects
for it to enter into the haute couture scene?

Empowering Women
in eCommerce
eCommerce has blossomed into a multi-billion dollar industry.
And With women accounting for around 58% of all online purchases
and deciding between 83-87% of consumer purchases, the role of
women in shaping the online business landscape is bigger than ever.
This has given rise to eCommerce businesses run entirely by women
and sometimes exclusively for women, which gives a strong validation
that there is a huge potential role for women to play in the eCommerce
space. What are the effective steps for women to participate in
this industry? Is running a business from of home entirely possible?

Linking Islamic Financing
to the Halal Sectors
Venue: Plenary Hall
The global halal industry, encompassing food, textiles, tourism and
healthcare, will double to US$6.4 trillion by 2018 from 2012, according
to the Malaysia International Islamic Financial Centre (MIFC). But this
consolidated industry, dubbed “Halal 3.0”, will not be realised unless
there is connectivity between funding and business expansion in
these various halal sectors. Islamic Banks have traditionally financed
businesses in the real-estate commercial and residential sectors,
but have not contributed to the expansion of the halal businesses.
What are the steps to close the credibility gap? What can halal
businesses do to improve their creditworthiness?

SMEs are beset by all sides with financial restrictions that impede
their business expansion. In most cases, banks require huge
collaterals from SMEs for loans, a treatment not accorded to big
businesses that have the same propensity to default. One of the
reasons is the structure of SMEs that is not scalable and attractive
to financial institutions. What are the various credit access options
available to SMEs? What is a conducive structure for SMEs to receive
sustainable financing?

Micro-Businesses in
Market Access and

Venue: Plenary Hall
Micro-businesses make up an overwhelming percentage of the
workforce in Indonesia, but contribution to GDP remains low and
fragmented compared to their bigger counterparts. Part of the
problem is due to market access and funding. Since the bulk of

take micro-businesses to the next level. What are the policy steps
being taken to address this?

CLOSING SESSION

• Fauzi Yusoff, Multimedia Artist, Malaysia
H.E. Joko Widodo
President,
In 2005, he decided to enter
politics and ran for the office of
mayor of Surakarta representing
the Indonesian Democratic
Party of Struggle. Initially people
viewed him with skepticism as
he was primarily a businessman
with no political connections.
President Joko Widodo is the 7th
President of Indonesia, serving in
this position since October 2014.
President Joko Widodo, a forestry
faculty graduate from the Gadjah
Mada University in Yogyakarta,
officially entered politics when
he was elected as Governor of
Jakarta, after proving to be very
popular among both the urban
and rural sections of the society.
In 1988, he founded his own
business, CV Rakabu, which was
later re-established and became a
very successful furniture exporter
by 2002. He also served as the
chairman of a local branch of the
country’s influential furniture
manufacturers’ association.
He won the elections and soon
proved his detractors wrong
by initiating many progressive
reforms in the city. As the mayor
he earned much respect for his
progressive reforms and his
honesty which distinguished
him from other politicians.
He developed a rapport with the
people as he had risen to this
post from an underprivileged
background, and thus could
connect with people from all
sections of the society.
In 2010, he was re-elected for
a second term of office with
over 90 per cent of the vote.
In 2012, he decided to run for the
Governor of Jakarta. President
Joko Widodo was contesting the
election against the incumbent,
Fauzi Bowo, and ousted him
in the second round of that
election. As the Governor of
Jakarta, he implemented many
policies to encourage small
industries and focused on
improving Jakartans’ access to
health care and education.
He implemented a universal
health care programme in
Jakarta, based on a ‘Healthy
Jakarta Card’ (Kartu Jakarta
Sehat or KJS) which became very
popular. He also launched the
“Smart Jakarta Card” in order
to help poor students by giving
them an allowance that can be
withdrawn from ATMs in order
to buy school supplies.
The leader of the Indonesian
Democratic Party of Struggle,
Megawati Sukarnoputri
chose Joko Widodo to be the
presidential candidate of her
party in 2014. His mayorship in
Surakarta and his governorship
in Jakarta had made him highly
respected and popular all over
Indonesia. He won the election
with more than 53 percent of
the popular vote, defeating his
opponent Prabowo Subianto.
After assuming office in 2014,
President Joko Widodo focused
on curbing corruption within the
Indonesian administration and
has been taking steps to attract
more foreign direct investment
into the country. He has also
implemented land reforms,
improved public services,
and initiated healthcare and
educational programmes.
He was awarded the Bintang
Jalasena Utama, 1st Class
(“Navy Meritorious Service Star”)
in 2011 by the Government of
Indonesia, and the 1st Class
“Star of the Republic of Indonesia”
(BRI), Bintang Republik Indonesia
Adipurna in 2014, and was
once ranked as the third best
mayor in the world by the
international City Mayors
Foundation.
The Hon. DATO’ SRI MOHD
NAJIB TUN ABDUL RAZAK
Prime Minister of Malaysia
and Patron of WIEF Foundation
Minister, by 29 the Chief
Minister of a state, and by 33
a full Cabinet Minister. Having
successfully led most key
ministries, including Education,
Defence and Finance, aged 55 on
3 April 2009 he became Prime
Minister.
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC
TRANSFORMATION
Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak is the
Prime Minister of Malaysia.
As the son of Tun Abdul Razak
Hussein, Malaysia’s second
Prime Minister, and nephew
of Tun Hussein Onn, Malaysia’s
third Prime Minister, Dato’ Sri
Najib was born into a family
of political pedigree.
40 YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE
Having initially pursued a career
in business, he only entered
public service upon his father’s
death. After an outpouring of
public support, at the age of 22
he became the youngest MP in
Malaysia’s history. Despite the
absence of his father to help him,
by 25 he was a Deputy Cabinet
Since then, Prime Minister Najib
Tun Razak has implemented the
most far-reaching political and
economic reform programmes
since Malaysia’s independence.
These include:
• Repealing the colonial-era
Internal Security Act, which
permitted indefinite detention
without trial;
• Ending Malaysia’s 60-year
State of Emergency;
• Introducing measures to
increase media freedom, such
as scrapping restrictions
on newspaper publishing
licenses;
• Reforming the Universities
and University Colleges Act
to allow undergraduates
to participate in political
activities;
• Creating the Peaceful
Assembly Act, for the first
time enshrining in law the
right to peaceful protest;
• Repealing the Banishment Act;
• Repealing the Restricted
Residences Act;
• Implementing various electoral
reforms.
• Diversifying the economy
and halving government
dependency on oil and gas
from 41 percent of total
revenue when he assumed
office in 2009, to 21 percent
by 2015.
through implementing a
minimum wage, encouraging
foreign investment – which grew
by more than 22 percent per
annum from when he took office
in 2009 until 2015 – and turned
Malaysia into one of Asia’s
most dynamic and successful
economies. His flagship New
Economic Model is on target to
transition Malaysia to a highincome nation by 2020.
The Prime Minister also
introduced the ‘1Malaysia’
concept, which stresses the
importance of national unity,
regardless of one’s race or
religious beliefs.
Since assuming office, the
Prime Minister has presided
over a new era in Malaysia’s
foreign policy, ending populist
confrontation tactics and instead
pushing for open regionalism.
A strong believer in ASEAN, he
has promoted cooperative ties
with major powers, emerging
economies and the developing
world. In particular, the relations
he has cultivated with other
world leaders has vastly
increased trade, foreign
investment and jobs
for Malaysians, and
helped to bring
peace and
stability to the
region.
His Government Transformation
Programme has fundamentally
changed the provision of
government services – improving
education, widening access to
healthcare, developing rural
infrastructure, expanding public
transport, reducing poverty, and
cutting crime. Alongside this,
his Economic Transformation
Programme has significantly
liberalised the economy, creating
more than 1.8 million jobs,
raising living standards, virtually
eliminating absolute poverty
FOREIGN POLICY RESULTS
For example, the Prime Minister
played a key role in facilitating
a peace agreement to bring an
end to Asia’s longest-running
insurgency in the Southern
Philippines. He also personally
negotiated behind-the scenes
with pro-Russian rebels in
Ukraine, securing the return of
bodies, wreckage and black boxes
from Malaysia Airlines flight
MH17 – something no other
world leader was able to do.
The Prime Minister has called
for a new Global Movement
of Moderates to combat
extremism, attracting support
from President Barack Obama
among others, and was the first
Muslim head of government
to unequivocally condemn
suicide bombings and label
them un-Islamic.
ELECTION WINS
In 2013 the Prime Minister
was returned to office after
winning Malaysia’s 13th general
election. His Barisan Nasional
(BN) coalition won 133 seats
against the opposition’s 89.
In 2016, despite being a midterm government subject to
an unprecedented campaign of
politically motivated allegations,
BN under the Prime Minister’s
leadership won landslide
victories with hugely increased
majorities in Sarawak –
Malaysia’s biggest state – and
also in the constituencies of
Kuala Kangsar and Sungai Besar.
Following these landslide
election wins, the Prime Minister
said his priority will continue to
be the economic development,
social welfare and security of all
Malaysians.
H.E. Emomali Rahmon
President, Republic of Tajikistan
convocation. In autumn 1992,
he was elected as the Chairman
of the Executive Committee of the
Council of the People’s Deputies
of Kulyab province. Later that
year, he was elected as the
Chairman of the Supreme Council
of the Republic of Tajikistan.
On November 6, 1994, Emomali
Rahmon was elected to the post
of the President of the Republic
of Tajikistan by nation-wide
voting.
President Emomali Rahmon
was born on October 5, 1952 in
Dangara district of the Republic
of Tajikistan.
From 1971 to 1974 he served in
the Pacific Navy Military Force.
After the demobilisation, he
started working at the Lenin
collective farm in Dangara.
He graduated from the Faculty of
Economics at the Tajik National
University in 1982. From 1987
to 1992, he was appointed the
Chairman of the Lenin collective
farm in Dangara.
In 1990, President Rahmon was
elected as People’s Deputy at the
Supreme Council of the Republic
of Tajikistan of twelfth
5 years later, President Rahmon
was re-elected on the alternative
basis and by nation-wide voting
and assumed an office of the
President of the Republic of
Tajikistan for a seven-year term.
In 2006, at free, transparent and
democratic elections, held on
the alternative basis, Emomali
Rahmon was elected as the
President of the Republic
of Tajikistan for a further
seven-year term.
The greatest achievement
of President Rahmon is,
undoubtedly, the establishment
of lasting peace and national
unity. The bitter experience
of internal wars in the world
suggests that no single state
could overcome its opponents
on the battlefield and stand at
the head of the state machine,
management structures and
military agencies, using weapons,
equipment and its warriors.
By ensuring peace and national
unity, he laid a solid foundation
for moving towards the economic
recovery and the beginning of
constructive affairs.
Over twenty years of
independence, under the
leadership of President Rahmon,
Tajikistan made confident steps
forward on the path of building
an independent democratic
state. During this time, the
country has had its own flag,
emblem and anthem. Principal
foundations of statehood –a
national army and border troops
have emerged and matured.
Tajikistan became a member of
the authoritative international
organizations and established
political, economic and cultural
ties with most countries in the
world. The fundamentals of the
constitutional system and public
administration were streamlined,
national currency was put into
circulation and national passport
was recognised.
Thus, the historical merits of
President Rahmon recognises
the fact that he took over
management of the state,
prevented the threat of its
collapse, extinguished the flames
of civil war, restored paralysed
power authorities, particularly
the law enforcement bodies,
created a national army and
border troops, provided the
conditions for consolidation of
power and state, guaranteed
the nation’s peace, returned
the refugees and displaced
persons back to homeland.
He laid a solid foundation
for building a new society of
Tajikistan, held constitutional
reform in the country, created a
new Constitution of Tajikistan,
provided political and legal basis
for signing General Agreement
on the Establishment of Peace
and National Accord on June 27,
1997. He also brought peace
between Tajiks, which
was instructive
experience for
the world
community.
He created
the conditions for national
revival, marked the beginning
of creative works, radically
improved the socio-economic
situation of the people,
eliminated the threat of hunger
and contributed to the growth of
political authority of the state on
the international arena.
At the new stage of constructing
young Tajik state, a fortune
bestowed upon the ancient
Tajik nation unique historical
personality –President Emomali
Rahmon – the person, who
represents the highest qualities
–justice, generosity, courage,
compassion and unique ability
to unite the people. It is the
combination of these qualities
that has brought society to
a high level of self-knowledge.

The Hon. Ranil Shriyan
Wickremesinghe
Prime Minister,
Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka
Prime Minister Ranil
Wickremesinghe was sworn
in as the Prime Minister of Sri
Lanka for the fourth time on 21st
August 2015. He is the Leader
of the United National Party
(UNP), Sri Lanka’s largest political
party, which is a constituent
member of the National Unity
Government led by H.E. the
President Maithripala Sirisena.
Ranil Wickremesinghe was
first appointed as the Prime
Minister from 1993 - 1994 after
the assassination of President
Ranasinghe Premadasa. He
was again elected as the Prime
Minister from 2001 - 2004
when the United National Front
Government won the general
elections in 2001.
A lawyer by profession, Prime
Minister Ranil was elected
to Parliament in 1977 at the
age of 28, having worked in
the Youth League of the UNP
from his university days. As
the youngest Minister in Sri
Lanka at the time, he held the
post of Deputy Minister of
Foreign Affairs under President
Jayewardene. Soon after, in
recognition of his exceptional
talents and unique capacity for
work, he was appointed to the
Cabinet as the Minister of Youth
Affairs and Employment. Later
on, he was given the portfolio
of Education. Then in 1989, as
a seasoned legislator, he was
made the Leader of the House
under President Premadasa.
He also served as the Minister
of Industries, Science and
Technology.
From 1977 to 1994, during the
seventeen years that the UNP
was in power yet again, Prime
Minister Ranil, made a crucial
impact on the development of
the country. He is still considered
to be the best Education Minister
of the country due to the
radical educational reforms he
initiated in the 1980s, aimed at
the qualitative improvement of
school education (with a special
focus on English, Technology
and Computer skills) and the
Education Administrative
Service. He energised the young
people in Sri Lanka with creative,
motivational as well as skill
development programs through
youth clubs (Yovun Samajas) and
youth camps (Yovunpuras).
Later on, as the Minister
of Industries, Science and
Technology, he was responsible
for Sri Lanka’s second round
of economic liberalisation that
commenced in 1989 with focus
on financial deregularisation
and industrial promotion in rural
areas through infrastructure
development and the institution
of industrial estates. As the MP
for Biyagama, he dramatically
developed his electorate to
become a modern model suburb
with brand new carpeted roads,
electrification schemes, water
and sanitation projects, schools,
community centres and other
infrastructure inputs. He also
established the Biyagama
Free Trade Zone to provide
employment for thousands
of young men and women in
a range of industries.
In 1993 after the untimely
demise of President Premadasa,
Prime Minister Ranil was
appointed Prime Minister
during the presidency of
D. B. Wijetunge. Eveready
for a challenge, the young
Prime Minister rose to the
responsibility of high office
and he has been credited for
establishing law, order and
stability in the country at the
crucial juncture. During the short
period, the country recorded the
highest level of economic growth
for the decade.
After the UNP was voted out
in 1994, Prime Minister Ranil
became the Leader of the
United National Party and the
Leader of the Opposition in

democratised the Party to
represent a more
equitable balance in
terms of ethnicity,
gender and youth.

to power and was sworn in
as Prime Minister once again.
In spite of the fact that the
President was from the opposing
party who could exercise full
executive powers and was a
strong opposition in Parliament,
Prime Minister Ranil’s most
significant achievements were
to restore full-time electricity,
rejuvenate the ailing economy,
break down the many ethnic
barriers in the country, bring
the warring LTTE to the
negotiating table for peace
talks, and galvanise the goodwill
and financial support of the
international community for
Sri Lanka.
Outside of politics, Prime
Minister Ranil is the Chair
of the Dhayakasabha of one of
Sri Lanka’s historic temples, the
Kelaniya Vihara and a dhayakaya
of Gangaramaya, Walukaramaya
and the Weragodalla (Sedawatte)

spoken widely on Sri Lankan
history, Buddhism and world

Born in 1984 in Los Palos, Timor-Leste, Etson is
one of the best known and most accomplished
musicians of his generation. He plays bass guitar
for the well-known band Galaxy, one of the only
Timorese acts to have been invited to perform
at international festivals; the Darwin Festival in
2006 & 2008 and the Sines festival in Portugal,
2010. He is also one of the country’s most
creative and in-demand percussionists.
He is a veteran of the Arte Moris free art school,
where he established and taught in the music
department there. Currently, he is involved as
one of the central organisers of the annual Festa
Múzika, which is supported by the EU, now in its
third year in Dili. Etson distinguishes himself as
a multi-genre artist who incorporates traditional
instruments into creative performances, and as
a highly-regarded organiser that brings people
together from different realms. He is regularly
involved in voluntary work for smaller public arts
events. After years of hard work and dedication,
he is now formally recognised as an important
part of the cultural life of East Timor; he was
a featured speaker at the prestigious TEDx
Dili earlier this year. He is married and has
3 children.
Haryo Sasongko
Founder of G&B Guitars,
The idea of painting Batik on electric guitars
came to Haryo Sasongko (Kongko), 15 years
ago. He started customising some of his
branded guitars collection, and soon the
beautiful art pieces gained recognition from his
family and colleagues. Inspired by the feedback
and the will to create an originally made guitar,
Kongko started creating his own guitar designs
and specification, and from that process, the
first line of guitars was born which he then
branded as G&B Guitars.
G&B Guitars did not stop developing there.
Not only did they paint beautiful batik designs
on guitars, but they sought to meet the
standards from the demands of professional
guitarists. This inspired them to work harder
to develop designs that brought comfort
and great playability. In 2011, after 10 years in
researching and developing the programme,
the originally made guitars of G&B Canting
Guitar received positive feedback from players
and art collectors. This was then followed by
other models, like G&B Canting Bass. The legal
trademark of G&B began in 2011, and today G&B
is a registered brand and company under the
name of PT Gitar Batik Produktama.
Jamal Raslan
Spoken Word Artist,
Malaysia
Jamal Raslan, a versatile writer with experience
in advertising, is an established spoken word
poet in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As a copywriter,
he has worked with BBDO as the Malay

As a poet, he has performed in various local and
international creative and corporate events, and
won his debut slam in 2010. He has performed
at Impact Forum, Singapore; the World Islamic
Economic Forum, London; and has appeared on
TEDxKL twice. His exploits as a poet earned him
an invitation from Saatchi & Saatchi to guestwrite their winning pitch for a Bank Simpanan
Nasional (National Savings Bank, Malaysia)
campaign before going on to perform at the
campaign launch.
Jamal has also expanded his portfolio to teach
English and poetry to high school students.
Jamal juggles this passion with his day job as
a banker. He recently concluded his gig as a
consultant for the upcoming “25” campaign with
ASTRO Oasis, one of the channels under the
satellite pay-per-view TV network ASTRO.
Having released an EP titled “The Word” at
the Georgetown Literary Festival 2012, Jamal

and is collecting materials for his debut album
targeted for a release in 2016. He is also
collecting materials for a book to be published
in the same year.
Krom Monster
World Music Band,
Kingdom of Cambodia
Krom Monster is a unique collaboration between
British and Cambodian musicians.
On their eponymous debut and the subsequent
Versions Metal Postcard 2014, Krom Monster
sketched out a unique take on Cambodian
musical traditions, where ancient melodies
combined with ragged beats, digital noise and
lush soundscapes.
The band emerged from a series of residencies
bringing together Cambodian and British
musicians. This residency was conceived and
supported by the Cambodian Living Arts,
a major force in promoting the recovery and
rejuvenation of contemporary Khmer music,
and Incidental, a contemporary arts
organisation in the UK.
The result is an energetic live performance that
resamples traditional instruments, reworking
traditional themes and blending Khmer themes
with contemporary electronics, urban music and
free improvisation.
Live shows are accompanied by responsive
video projections developed by David Gunn
and Tith Kanitha, that deconstruct a collage
of footage from contemporary and historical
Cambodia.
Krom Monster features Sour Vanna on Gong
Tum, Chamroeun Phan on Tro Sao, Lun Panith
on Ksae Diew and David Gunn on laptop.
Tony Amaral

throughout Timor-Leste.

and Timor-Leste’s first public arts festival,
Arte Publiku.
He is a talented painter, sculptor and
multimedia artist. More recently his focus
has been on urban arts - graffiti, street art,
stencilling - bringing his artistic expression
onto the streetscape.
Wani Ardy &
The Guitar Polygamy
Music Band,
Malaysia
Wani Ardy & The Guitar Polygamy has had
an eventful year so far; an expanding lineup,
a sound that is getting increasingly diverse
and difficult to pigeonhole, and a barely feasible
DIY touring schedule across the Peninsula.
The band is going all heart on all four cylinders,
proving that they are rapidly becoming the little
group that can.
Marrying the tender, melodic toughness of
her early singer/songwriter influences
(KT Tunstall, Missy Higgins, Nick & Liesl to name
a few) with a trippier, slanted fare (Sia, Filastine,
and Portishead), the upcoming record Raskat
is already shaping up to be as eclectic and
potentially peerless in its own right; Gelombang
Dasar Laut is trip hop with heavy Javanese
overtones slathered with feedback and noise,
Gula Melaka is poetry underscored with sensual,
dreamy synth pop and Lampu Jalan already
treads on semi-post rock territory.
The bands discography includes Senikatawati
(EP) 2007, Meanwhile (EP) 2009, Langit Vanilla/
Sekarang Aku Tahu (single) 2012, and Raskat
(full length) TBA. Among their published works
are Perempuan Simpanan (anthology) Sindiket
Soljah, 2009, Langit Vanilla (prose/poems)
Sang Freud Press, 2011, and Mesin Cahaya Masa
(prose/poems) Sang Freud Press, 2014.

WBN Tea Talk Programme
On 21 March 2016, WIEF Businesswomen Network organised the inaugural WBN

innovation in a business.
In light of the success of the inaugural WBN Tea Talk, the WIEF Businesswomen
Network would continue to hold other similar programmes as an avenue for
entrepreneurs to network and interact closely with captains of industry.
WIEF Regional Online Marketing Workshop
Today, strong online presence and the use of social media are considered valuable
asset for almost any business. In order for businesses to maximise the use of
internet, ecommerce and social media tools, WBN introduced the WIEF Online
Marketing Workshop in January 2012 in Kuala Lumpur. The Workshop capitalises
on the current technological connectivity that helps women entrepreneurs expand
their business reach globally.
Since then, WBN has successfully organised similar programmes all over the world:
• 1st Regional WIEF Online Marketing Workshop in Nairobi, Kenya in
September 2012
• 2nd Regional WIEF Online Marketing Workshop in Surabaya, Indonesia,
in April 2013

More than two hundred women entrepreneurs from Kenya, Indonesia, Iran,
Morocco, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Yemen,
Brunei, Bangladesh, Uganda, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and Malaysia have benefited
from the Workshop. The Workshop would be continually improved to keep abreast
with changing technology and practices of businesswomen globally.
WBN Mentorship Programme
The WBN Mentorship Programme was launched by the Hon. Tun Musa Hitam,

The WBN Mentorship Programme provides opportunities for personal growth and
development as well as a range of other benefits for both mentors and mentees.
The programme can also help develop business through improved planning,

ABOUT INDONESIA
INVEST IN INDONESIA
The world economy is going through a period of
slow growth. The International Monetary Fund
(IMF) estimates that global economic growth
in 2016 and 2017 will be around 3.4% and 3.6%
respectively. Similar to the IMF, the World Bank
estimates the numbers to be slightly lower at
approximately 3.3% and 3.2% respectively.
Despite the global slowdown, the prospect of
Indonesia’s economy remains positive. As a
result of expanded fiscal and reserve buffers
(Standards & Poor, May 2015), Indonesia’s
economy is demonstrating resilience and has
been able to respond swiftly to external shocks
(Standards & Poor, May 2015). The country’s
economy has reached its turning point in the
last quarter of 2015, with the Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) recorded at around 8,976 trillion
Rupiahs (an increase of around 4.9% compared to
2014). In 2014, Indonesia was ranked 16th largest
economy in the world. As a result, stable growth
in Indonesia is expected to be supported by public
consumption and investments.
In 2016, the World Bank estimates a higher
growth rate for Indonesia at around 5.3%, while
the IMF predicts slightly lower at around 5%. The
Oxford Economics also claims that the long-term
outlook of Indonesian economy is relatively strong
with a prospect of 5% economic growth rate in the
real term until 2025.
In addition, Indonesia also has the 4th largest
population in the world, with around 250 million
people. Currently, around 45 million people
are under the consuming class category, with
approximately 50% of its population categorised
as young people under 30 years old. The World
Bank reports elucidates that this favourable
demographic profile of Indonesia could serve
as one of the powerful drivers of growth. With
burgeoning middle-income class and educated
workforce, there is a huge potential within the
domestic market.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has also
acknowledged that market size is one of
Indonesia’s key competitiveness factors.
(Indonesia is ranked 10th in the market size
category among the 140 countries observed
in WEF’s Global Competitiveness Index).
Also, having the largest Muslim population in the
world, Indonesia has an enormous potential to
be a key player in the Islamic economic sectors,
such as Islamic finance, halal business, as well as
modest fashion and the creative industry.
INDONESIA’S ECONOMY
Strategic Investment
Destination
Indonesia has been highly recognised
as an ideal investment destination by
several international organisations.
The country was ranked first place
as “Southeast Asia’s Top Investment
Destination for United States’
Multinational Companies” by AmCham
ASEAN Business Outlook Survey
in 2015. Furthermore, in the same
survey, Indonesia was among the best
locations for potential new business
expansion, alongside Myanmar and
Vietnam.
Similarly, Indonesia was ranked 2nd
for the “Most Promising Country for
Business Development in December
2015” and “The Best Investment
Destination in Asia for 2015” by Japan
Bank for International Cooperation
and The Economist respectively.
In addition, Indonesia was ranked
14th globally in 2014 as a country with
the highest Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI) inflows by the UNCTAD,
moving up five places compared to
2013. This prospect has also been
highly acknowledged by the Asian
Development Bank, which has
allocated around US$1.6 billion of
their portfolio in Indonesia with the
possibility of expansion. Finally,
three major credit ratings such as S&P,
Moody’s and Fitch have also assigned
a positive and stable outlook for
Indonesia.

> Fuel subsidies significantly reduced and

level while diversifying sources
of financing
In view of Indonesia’s large amount
of natural resources and a favourable
demographic profile, the Government
of Indonesia is committed to shifting
from resource-based economy to
manufacturing and value-adding sectors
through policy reforms and infrastructure
development. Starting from last year,
the Government has significantly
increased the budget allocation for
infrastructure development at around
290.3 trillion Rupiahs or 15% of total
spending. This allocation will continue
to expand in 2016. This effort is aimed
at reducing logistics cost among regions
in Indonesia, as well as increasing
efficiency, reducing operational budgets
and providing higher profit margins for
businesses.
In 2015, the Indonesian Government had
also launched several stimuli to promote
investment in the country, such as licence
and permit simplification, tax incentives
in the form of tax relief for labour-intensive
industries, and enhancement of integrated
logistics zones.
High Infrastructure Investment
> Three main sources of financing for IDR
5tn investment needs: State and
regional budget, State-owned enterprises and PPP
> Continuing from 2015 ‘s policy, infrastructure spending will be higher than fuel subsidy
> Infrastructure spending focused on basin infrastructure projects – arterial roads, railways, dams irrigation, small seaports and local airports
> Fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to attract infrastructure investment and promote PPP
In conclusion, combining Government’s
commitment and favourable economic
factors, Indonesia is on a positive trajectory
for greater growth and development.
