Fighting the corrupt culture in
the organization, held by Youth Proactive and Transparency International
Indonesia May 15, 2015.
Mrs. Meuthia, sociolog from
Universitas Indonesia (now she is one of Pansel KPK Srikandi) was a speaker at
that day. Corruption in the office or the places where we work is becoming
“usual”. The mechanism has been “arranged” systematically. Corruption happened
due to the character or bad moral from individual which is from the
organization itself. The higher position will give the bad action, the others
will follow. So, the behaviour at the top level is absolutely important. They
tend to be afraid if they don’t do what their boss is doing.
Mr. Ahmad Ramdani, lecturer at
Bakrie University, HR practitioner from Omnividya. He told us to keep positive
thinking as it is the best way for young generation, be part of the solution.
When we will become “minority” in our society, what he means minority in this
context is honest person. Honesty is “expensive” We have to be ready for facing
the truth that some people may not like us.
In addition. Mr. Ahmad
differentiate that the way birocrats think, they focused on the procedure, so
that SOP (Standar Operasional Prosedur)
is the main goal. On the other hand, the professional taught, the way to get
the best result is the important things. Results will follow. The natural
willing of people is looking for the “money”. That’s why this will impact to
someone’s behaviour and become culture.
Corruption is the serious menace
that we should tackle as young generation.

Jokowi Visited Two Asian Economic
Giants Countries
7 Days visited Japan and China,
President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, which was accompanied by Indonesia
Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi, kicked off Indonesia's economic cooperation
between those countries.
The main goal is improving
Indonesia's cooperation with Japan and China, specifically in the trade sector
and economic ties. Concrete investment and cooperation, which was related to
infrastructure, seaports, airports, power plants, railways and toll roads will
be the focused things, according to Mr. President.
Japan, ranked as the
second-biggest investor after Singapore, has invested US$ 2 billion of the
total $21.7 billion foreign direct investment in Indonesia. There’s still a
lack of product diversification even though Indonesia-Japan Economic
Partnership Agreement (IJ-EPA) has been implemented since 2008.
Japan’s Chamber of Commerce and
Industry will follow up the economic cooperation during Jokowi visit, as well
as improving cooperation in military training and technology, by asking
Indonesia and China to sign the agreement.
Japan said about South China Sea
territorial disputes as well. Although Japan has no territorial claims in the
South China Sea, Vietnam and Philippines’ maritime patrol boats was supplied by
Japan. Therefore, Japan must strengthen several agreements related to trade,
investment, and defense cooperation, according to Foreign Ministry’s
spokesperson. Japan and Indonesia agreed to launch a high-level bilateral
maritime forum to expand cooperation in ensuring security at sea. Japanese
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo signed
the defense cooperation pact that involve Japanese capacity building assistance
for Indonesian forces, as well as bilateral cooperation in peacekeeping
missions and defense equipment development.
Jokowi will visit China on March
27. He expects to strengthen the economic and military cooperation between Indonesia
and China.
Xi Jinping welcomed Jokowi at
Beijing
Issues of finance, industry,
infrastructure, natural disaster management, and aerospace will be the focused
cooperation between Indonesia and China. Two leaders discussed various
bilateral issues and witnessed the signing of MOU for those topics as well.
Jokowi will prioritize the more
concrete commitments like he did for Japan. Indonesia and China will celebrate
the 65th anniversary of diplomatic ties this year. Following the two
countries’ meeting last November in APEC, two countries agreed to make the cooperation
more concrete, and it has achieved progress in all field, according to Antara
news Agency.
The cooperation will be enhanced
at bilateral, regional, and international levels. President Joko “Jokowi”
Widodo intended to officially invite the Chinese leader to attend Asia-Africa
Summit in Bandung as well next month.
