THE FUTURE OF INDONESIAN REPUBLIC CONSTITUTION

The Republic of Indonesia has the basic law that was legalized on August 18, 1945 by The Committee of Preparation for Freedom of Indonesia. Since on December 27, 1949 Indonesia caused to be effective RIS (The Temporary of Indonesian Republic), and since August 17, 1950 Indonesia put into effect (The Temporary of Indonesian Republic Constitution). The government of Indonesia via DPR (The Council of Citizenry Representation) discussed about re-validity of the 1945 constitution of Indonesian Republic (UUD 1945) on July 05, 1959. Eventually, on July 22, 1959, the 1945 constitution of Indonesian Republic (UUD 1945) was legalized by DPR.

In addition, the constitution was written in June, July and August 1945, when Indonesia was emerging from Japanese control at the end of World War II. It was abrogated by the Federal Constitution of 1949 and the Provisional Constitution of 1950, but restored on 5 July 1959.

The 1945 Constitution then set forth the Pancasila, the five nationalist principles devised by Sukarno, as the embodiment of basic principles of an independent Indonesian state. It provides for a limited separation of executive, legislative, and judicial powers. The governmental system has been described as "semi-presidential" or "presidential with parliamentary characteristics." Following the Indonesian 1998 Upheaval and the resignation of President Suharto, several political reforms were set in motion, which are still continuing.

The contents of the 1945 constitution of Indonesian Republic are below:

Preamble

The preamble to the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia contains the Pancasila state philosophy.

Chapter I: Form of state and sovereignty

States that Indonesia is a unitary republic based on law with sovereignty in the hands of the people and exercised through laws.

Chapter II: The People's Consultative Assembly

States that the People's Consultative Assembly is made up of the members of the People's Representative Council and the Regional Representatives Council, all of who are elected via general election. The People's Consultative Assembly changes and passes laws, appoints the president, and can only dismiss the president or vice-president during their terms of office according to law.

Chapter III: Executive powers of the state

Outlines the powers of the president. States the requirements for the president and vice-president. Limits the president and vice-president to two terms of office and states that they be elected in a general election. Specifies the impeachment procedure. Includes the wording of the presidential and vice-presidential oath and promise of office.

Chapter V: Ministers of state

Four short articles giving the cabinet a constitutional basis. The president appoints ministers.

Chapter VI: Local government

Explains how Indonesia is divided into provinces, regencies and cities, each with its own administration chosen by general election. The leaders of these administrations are "chosen democratically". Autonomy is applied as widely as possible. The state recognizes the special nature of certain regions.

Chapter VII: The House of Representatives

The members of the House are elected by general election. The House has the right to pass laws, and has legislative, budgeting and oversight functions. It has the right to request government statements and to put forward opinions.

Chapter VII-A: The Regional Representatives Council

An equal number of members is chosen from each province via a general election. The Council can put forward to the House of Representatives bills related to regional issues. It also advises the House on matters concerning taxes, education and religion.

Chapter VII-B: General elections

General elections to elect the members of the House of Representatives, the Regional Representatives Council, the president and vice-president as well as the regional legislatures are free, secret, honest and fair and are held every five years. Candidates for the House of Representatives and regional legislatures represent political parties: those for the Regional Representatives Council are individuals.

Chapter VIII: Finance

States that the president puts forward the annual state budget for consideration by the House of Representatives.

Chapter VIII-A: The supreme audit agency

Explains that this exists to oversee the management of state funds.

Chapter IX: Judicial power

Chapter IX-A: Geographical extent of the nation

States that the nation is an archipelago whose borders and rights are laid down by law.

Chapter X: Citizens and residents

Defines citizens and residents and states that all citizens are equal before the law. Details the human rights guaranteed to all, including:

• the right of children to grow up free of violence and discrimination
• the right of all to legal certainty
• the right to religious freedom
• the right to choose education, work and citizenship as well as the right to choose where to live
• the right of assembly, association and expression of opinion
• the right to be free from torture

It also states that the rights not to be tortured, to have freedom of thought and conscience, of religion, to not be enslaved, to be recognized as an individual before the law and to not be charged under retroactive legislation cannot be revoked under any circumstances. Furthermore, every person has the right to freedom from discrimination on any grounds whatsoever.

Finally, every person is obliged to respect the rights of others.

Chapter XI: Religion

The nation is based on belief in God, but the state guarantees religious freedom for all.

Chapter XII: National defense

States that all citizens have an obligation and right to participate in the defense of the nation. Outlines the structure and roles of the armed forces and the police.

Chapter XIII: Education and culture

States that every citizen has the right to an education. Also obliges the government to allocate 20 percent of the state budget to education.

The national economy and social welfare

States that major means of production are to be controlled by the state. Also states that the state takes care of the poor.

Chapter XV: The flag, language, coat of arms, and the national anthem

Specifies the flag, official language, coat of arms, and national anthem of Indonesia.

Chapter XVI: Amendment of the constitution

Lays down the procedures for proposing changes and amending the Constitution. Two-thirds of the members of the People's Consultative Assembly must be present: any proposed amendment requires a simple majority. The form of the unitary state cannot be changed.

Actually, Indonesia still needs some points to perfect the constitution. Probably, Indonesia can consider and learn more about the United States constitution. The writer feels that there is point which is needed on helping to perfect the Indonesian constitution. It is Amendment VI (Right to speedy, public trial by impartial jury; Right to have witnesses and a defender for the trial). “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the sate and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.” (Amendment Book)

The reason is; In Indonesia, the right to speedy, public trial by impartial jury; right to have witnesses and a defender for the trial has not been maximized yet. So, Indonesia still needs rules that can help Indonesia to be better on constitution. We feel that we can learn more about the constitution with from the United States constitutions.

In conclusion, every country has different constitution or basic law that can manage the government and make it a good government. Every country can learn more or can study another country to improve their constitution, because as long as the government runs, the rules are there.

ILLITERACY

By : Abdul Rohman El-Hafid

Illiteracy is one of the biggest problems in Indonesia. There are many people who cannot read and write. This problem is caused by the system of education. Indonesia had 14 systems in Education, and always exchanged every 4 years. Department of education is still concerned on about the system, but it was not able to solve illiteracy problem. In addition, also includes the citizenry awareness to study. They don`t know about the benefits and functions of education. They have fun what they do. Because they don’t know what must they do. The Government doesn`t look at this problem. This case is not only in one area, but in some areas in Indonesia. I think also this problem is caused by economy level of Indonesian. There are so many people who can`t study at school, because their parents are not able to pay cost for study at school. And we should take responsibility with this problem.

Furthermore, illiteracy is a global issue in the world, because this problem can influence many aspects of life. Above all in the developing business sector, we cannot develop our business without skills and education. We need more people who can grow our business and give feedback to Government as income.

By looking at this problem, we must try to solve this problem by any way that can help to solve it. We have to offer the best way and the best choice as human being who respects about illiteracy problem. We should address this problem immediately.

There are many solutions which we can offer to solve this problem. Firstly, we have to know about the program of department of education for illiteracy. After knowing this question, we will discuss and share about illiteracy to list the solutions and to plan whatever we need to solve this problem. Secondly, we will offer some programs as the best choices as citizens who care about this problem. I think we can open registration to everybody who wants to help this problem by teaching in area where illiterate people live. And we can give them facilities to help their teaching. And the last one is supporting to government to increase quality of education system and open free-school. Actually, free-school has been opened in Jakarta, but not all areas in Indonesia. We might find no illiteracy next time.

In conclusion, illiteracy is global issue in the world, so not only in Indonesia or another country that have this problem, but countries that good in education can help them to solve illiteracy problem. We need education, and education needs us.

WELCOME TO INDONESIA

(An Introduction about Indonesia)

By Mr. Abdurrahman El-Hafid, I.Ed

Indonesia is the biggest Moslem community in the world. As the biggest Moslem community in the world, Indonesia has unique culture which different with another country. As we know that different countries, different cultures. Indonesia has a lot of Islands. And each island has a lot of cultures and languages. So Indonesia has many races. And they have uniqueness.

Indonesian has many languages from many races. Such as: Java Island, Sumatera Island, Kalimantan Island, Sulawesi Island, Nusa Tenggara Island, etc. And each island has language, dialect and accent. But generally, type of verbal communication style is slow and it`s level medium, is not loud. When people studies and practices Indonesian Language, they will find difficulties in accent. Because, there are many Indonesian people who doesn`t know about language from another Islands. For example, people who live in Java Island, they don`t understand about language in Sumatera island like Padang`s Language. But, we have standard of Indonesian language that was fixed by expert of Indonesian language. So, Indonesian people have various languages, and in verbal communication style is very slow on medium level.

In addition, as the biggest Moslem community in the world, Indonesian people have habitual action to take greeting for everyone whenever and wherever. The greeting is very special, and this is style of all moslem in the world. The greeting is “Assalamu`alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh” and someone who listened, should answer by “Wa`alaikumussalam Warahmatulllah Wabarakatuh”. Not only `salam` , but also for some people after salam they hug and shake hand for greeting. This is named Brother in one God. And Indonesian people usually keep distance between male and female when they are talking or sitting together. And they keep their view, because in the eyes of Islamic Religion, keeping distance (hijab) on the relationship between male and female is very important.

Furthermore, if we will talk about time in Indonesia, we can compare with another country. Indonesian people have commitment to on-time. For example, when there is event that should start at 8.00 p.m, we have to start! And we don`t wait whoever who doesn`t come. But, this commitment only for some people, and generally this is style of Indonesia on the time. And actually, we expect to attend in every events, whenever, wherever by on-time.

Nowadays, there are many people who want to get title and status. This is same in Indonesia, status is very important. And the most important is brotherhood. We call our friends by “brother” or “bro” and “sister”. These calling are enough to respect for another people. And we also call people of a higher than us by “Mr” or “Mrs”. Above all to teacher, we never call our teacher by calling their name, but also we call them by calling “Mr, Miss or Mrs Teacher”. In Indonesia, teacher is very special. And about person`s title, Indonesian people usually call someone who got academic title only their name, but if we write their name in a letter or another place, we have to put their title. For example, if someone wants to invite a professor to attend in wedding party, they have to put title professor in invitation card. And then, Indonesian people usually call someone just nickname. And first name is not important. Because, there are some people whose nickname is same with first name.

However, Indonesia is very friendly country. We welcome to accept whoever as friend. And also, Indonesia is very friendship. Above all for foreigner who can speak Indonesian language. We are very proud with them. We will invite them to visit our house, but usually if we have been enjoyable with them in the first meeting. Everyone who wants to be a colleague, they should marry with Indonesian people.

In concluding, Indonesia is very friendly country with different cultures. So, don`t worry if you want to visit to Indonesia, you can get excellent service. You can join in our program “Visit Indonesia 2009”.

MASA DEPAN HUBUNGAN INDONESIA-AMERIKA SERIKAT

Terpilihnya Barrack `Hussein` Obama menjadi Presiden ke-44 Amerika Serikat sejenak menyita perhatian dunia terhadap sosok yang fenomenal sepanjang sejarah Amerika. Begitu pula Indonesia, menjadi salah satu Negara yang juga menyambut baik terpilihnya Obama menjadi Presiden Amerika. Harapan demi harapan datang dari seluruh warga dunia, hanya karena positive track record Obama yang berbeda dari Presiden Amerika sebelum-sebelumnya.
Bagi Indonesia sendiri, Obama adalah sosok yang menjadi bagian dari Indonesia. Sebab beliau pernah tinggal di Indonesia selama beberapa tahun, dan pernah mengenyam pendidikan di SDN Menteng 1 Pagi. Akhirnya, harapan Indonesia seakan melambung tinggi karena ada presiden Amerika pernah mengisi masa kecilnya di Indonesia. Agaknya bayangan yang ada adalah Indonesia ke depan akan jadi anak emas presiden Obama.
Mimpi Indonesia juga terus bertambah untuk Obama dan Amerikanya, setelah kunjungan Menteri Luar Negeri AS Hillary Clinnton ke Indonesia. Hillary Clinton seakan membawa kabar gembira bagi Indonesia, sebagai satu-satunya Negara Asia Tenggara yang dikunjunginya. Apalagi kunjungan Hillary Clinton di Indonesia disambut dengan baik oleh kepala Negara beserta jajarannya. Memang agaknya Hillary ingin menaruh simpatik pada Indonesia, ia sangat mencoba hadir bukan sebagai tamu Negara, namun lebih kepada sahabat. Kehadirannya di RCTI pada acara `Dahsyat` begitu menarik perhatian banyak mata yang menyaksikannya, komunikasinya yang seakan-akan bersahabat lama dengan Indonesia menjadi nilai khusus yang dapat mencuri perhatian dunia. Acara tersebut juga ternyata diliput oleh beberapa channel berita terkemuka di beberapa Negara di Amerika dan Eropa.
Begitulah cerita tentang harapan Indonesia untuk Amerika. Segudang cerita akan membawa angin segar hubungan masa depan Indonesia dengan Amerika. Namun, apakah semua kenyataan ini dapat merubah pandangan kita terhadapa dunia Islam internasional? Janji Obama terhadapa penyelesaian konflik Negara-negara Timur Tengah belum kunjung terealisasi. Obama lebih terlihat masa bodo dengan kondisi yang terjadi di Timur Tengah. Apakah karena janji kampanyenya kepada Israel untuk terus mendukungnya, atau karena Amerika takut kehilangan sekutu sejatinya, yaitu Israel.
Indonesia sebagai Negara Muslim terbesar di dunia tentunya juga menilai bagaimana seharusnya hubungan diplomatik dengan Negara Amerika dibangun. Ini yang terlihat pada saat kunjungan Hillary ke Indonesia. Beberapa organisasi masyarakat dan mahasiswa mendemo penolakan Hillary datang ke Indonesia. Mereka menganggap kehadiran Hillary hanya intrik politik Amerika untuk meminta dukungan terhadapa Amerika, yang akhirnya simpatik Indonesia untuk Amerika akan dimanfaatkan pada masa yang akan datang. Bahkan salah satu ormas Islam yaitu HTI (Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia) menyatakan bahwa `Obama is New Terrorist` yang dipasang pada spanduk mereka ketika berdemonstrasi.
Sebenarnya point yang terpenting bagi Amerika untuk membuka hubungan lebih baik dengan Negara-negara Islam di dunia apalagi Indonesia adalah penyelesaian konflik Timur Tengah, ini adalah kuncinya. Kalau ini bisa dijawab oleh Amerika, maka jangankan Indonesia, seluruh Negara di dunia akan menyambut baik Amerika sebagai Negara yang ingin berubah memandang dunia.
Dunia internasional saat ini lebih cenderung pada permasalahan konflik Timur Tengah dan perekonomian dunia. Krisis global akan membawa warna baru pada porsi Amerika terhadapa perekonomian dunia. Kalau saja Amerika mau membangun komunikasi yang efektif serta mau lebih banyak mendengar daripada mengambil kebijakan sendiri dalam penyelesaian ekonomi dunia, tentunya akan membawa sedikit baik hubungan dengan Negara-negara di dunia.
Terlepas dari semua itu, kita tidak bisa berharap banyak dengan Obama dan Amerikanya sebelum Obama dan Amerikanya dapat menjawab pertanyaan masyarakat dunia dalam berbagai permasalahan yang selama ini tak kunjung usai. Indonesia akan menjadi harapan dunia apabila hubungannya dengan Amerika dibangun sebagai pengantar komunikasi efektif bagi Negara-negara lain. Semoga saja kehadiran Hillary ke Indonesia bukan hanya sekedar intrik politik, namun lebih kepada harapan baik untuk membangun citra Amerika di mata Dunia. Kita juga berharap agar pemerintah Indonesia tidak hanya memikirkan perasaan elit yang berkuasa di negeri ini karena kedatangan tamu spesial dari negeri paman syam, namun lebih berpihak pada perasaan dunia Islam internasional, dan bagian dari dunia Islam internasional adalah Indonesia sendiri.(On Feb 22, 2009;el-hafid)

MENUJU LDK EMAS 2010 (Bag I)

Oleh: Abdurrahman El-Hafid

Antara harapan dan kenyataan
Inilah adalah harapan baik yang mestinya dijadikan sebuah keyakinan untuk menuju hidup yang lebih baik. Ini adalah bukti keseriusan kita dalam berdakwah, mengatur serta memperhitungkan jangkauan kita untuk masa depan. Tidak ada salahnya ketika kita memiliki mimpi besar untuk sebuah kebesaran yang baik. LDK EMAS 2010 adalah sebuah konsep besar dakwah dalam era baru yang membutuhkan strategi-strategi baru menghadapi permasalahan-permasalahan baru. Era dakwah yang lebih professional, progresif dan kreatif. Era pembuktian dakwah kampus untuk sebuah perubahan.
Melihat banyak agenda strategis pada tahun 2010 yaitu: pertama,akan dilaksanakannya FSLDKN XV (Forum Shilaturrahim Lembaga Dakwah Kampus Nasional) yang insya Allah akan dilaksnakan di Universitas Pattimura-Ambon. Kedua, akan dilaksnakannya konferensi FSLDK Banten III. Agenda inilah sebagai salah satu bagian terpenting untuk menunjukan masa-masa keemasan dari Lembaga Dakwah Kampus di Indonesia.
Paling tidak, agenda LDK EMAS 2010 ini menjadi agenda penting bagai Lembaga Dakwah Kampus “Ummul Fikroh” IAIN Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten. Sebagai PUSKOMDA (Pusat Komunikasi Daerah) Banten, maka eksistensi sebagai PUSKOMDA harus lebih terekspose dengan motivasi menuju LDK EMAS 2010. Ini adalah agenda kita bersama, dan kita akan design bersama konsep serta gambaran nyata LDK EMAS 2010.
Kita harus optimis untuk sebuah perubahan. Ini adalah satu dari banyaknya cara membangun dakwah di kampus. Namun, kita juga harus realistis melihat gambaran ke depan dari berbagai kondisi yang ada. Kita juga mesti menawarkan alternative yang baik, beralasan dan terukur. Oleh karena itu sebelum kita men-design konsep tersebut, kita akan terlebih dahulu menganalisis sejauh mana pencapaian hasil yang kita miliki melalui ukuran keunggulan dan kelemahan kita, serta melihat sejauh mana peluang yang ada dan tantangan apa saja yang akan kita hadapi ke depan.



Konsep Idealitas dan Realitas
Dalam menyusun sebuah konsep, kita juga ttidak bisa melupakan realita yang ada di lapangan. Banyak orang yang mengatak bahwa konsep hanya ada di atas kertas, hanya ideal dalam tulisan namun mentah di lapangan. Makannya terkadang ada seorang konseptor yang dilemahkan pendapatnya karena orang tersebut teramat ideal menyusun konsep. Padahal sesungguhnya begitulah knsep, dibuat seideal mungkin untuk menjawab segala kemungkinan yang akan terjadi.
Begitu pula dengan harapan baik kita untuk mencoba membangun dakwah kampus, sebuah skala kecil yang merupakan pembelajaran bagus untuk melihat lebih jauh dakwah paska kampus di kalangan professional dan masyarakat umum.
Ini adalah tulisan pengantar untuk memberikan rangsangan bagi siapa saja yang masih perduli akan dakwah kampus ke depan. Kalaulah bukan 2010 masa-masa keemasan dakwah kampus, kita akan terus menyusun rencana strategis LDK EMAS untuk masa yang akan datang.
