New Normal and New Order

Image
The "New Normal" that linked to the new life order brought optimism to the transformation of the state governance. But, will the stakeholders want to transform to implement an effective and efficient government? The New Normal, actually required to obey clean and healthy behavior and minimize face to face interaction in daily life, as well as on running the public administration. In my opinion, this condition makes an opportunity to accelerate to implement governance through ICT (e-government). All the time, e-government practical in Indonesia is going slow. UN Surveyed about E-Government Development Index (EGDI) in 2018 placing Indonesia on ranking 107. We are still far behind from the other South East Asia e.g  Vietnam (88), Philippines (75), Thailand (73), Brunei Darussalam (59), Malaysia (48), dan Singapore (7). Human resources and infrastructure become a hurdle that makes us left behind. However amid the pandemic which is not known when will be f...

Communist Ghost and Political Interest in Indonesia

Image
Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) faces blasphemy on the issue of draft bill of Direction of the Pancasila Ideology (HIP). The draft bill accused of reviving communism in Indonesia. But, the interesting thing is no clause that states about communism in its draft. Communism which identically with Indonesia Communism Party (PKI) has been forbidden since 1965. But in reality, it issues always rolled out in the political interest of certain groups. This issue is not the first time for PDIP. The ruling party often linked with PKI since 1999.  The historical aspect becomes a trigger to charge PDIP with a communism issue. Soekarno, one of the Indonesia founding fathers is a figure that closes to PKI. In the revolution era, He tried to consolidate three big ideologies (Nationalist, communist, and religious). When G30S occurs, Soekarno allegedly involved. Furthermore, after the dissolution, all of the organizations linked with the communist pa...

Image
Indonesia, a country with 270 million population (4th largest) is a big market for business. Countries in Europe, America, and Asia are competing in this archipelago country. Many products exported to Indonesia but we will discuss specifically automotive industries. Since the fall of Soekarno, Indonesia becomes Japan's market and big investment flow from Japan to Indonesia. Cars brand from Japan e.g Toyota, Suzuki, Daihatsu, Honda dominated the Indonesian market. They have been defeated Europe and America e.g Mercedez, BMW, Ford, etc. The question is Why Indonesian people more idolize Japan's Cars? First, Japan's cars have a lower price than Europe or America's cars. Indonesian income is still low. The income per capita in Indonesia is about US$ 4300 per year. So, rationally, Japan's car more affordable than Europe's cars that categorized as luxury cars. Second, it is still related to the income, where the treatment of Japan's car is eas...
