The Strategic Case of Climate Change for Indonesia
It is critical to frame the issue of climate change as a problem to the population. It should not be seen only as a problem to the environment, since it also poses grave challenges to social and economic development. Planet Earth has been in existence for more than four billion years and has gone through solar storms, meteor impacts and several ice ages. Several dozens of high-grade hurricanes and meters of rising sea level will not jeopardize the planet as much as it will demolish the people living on it.The window of opportunity for Indonesia to embed climate change considerations into its development plan and muster international support to undertake a low carbon development is still open – but not for long.

For all its pivotal utilities, the calendar system also sets benchmarks in our lives so that we can see our life journey in sections like days, months, and years. It enables us to review our past and plan for the future. But most of the time we do not know the full extent of what we do today will bring us in the future. Just like we didn’t know that something small in the past actually brought something we value dearly.
Memilih Sekolah di Luar Negeri beserta Tanggung Jawabnya
Setiap pelajar Indonesia yang sekolah di luar negeri memiliki beragam tanggung jawab. Tapi semua itu dimulai dengan tanggung jawab untuk memilih pendidikan yang sebaik-baiknya. Jangan sampai hanya semata karena dis-informasi atau mis-informasi, putra-putri bangsa ini mubazir merantau.
Impian Itu Adalah Setiap Anak Indonesia Kenal Komputer
Di negara dengan ketimpangan sosial yang relatif tajam seperti Indonesia, kesenjangan teknologi pun lebih terasa. Sebagian mahasiswa metropolitan kerap memeriksa surat elektronik melalui kotak ajaib seukuran telapak tangan, sementara rekan-rekan mereka di pedalaman masih belajar dengan lampu minyak. Memang, keadaan seperti itu banyak bergantung pada faktor ekonomi, tapi hal ini dapat dilangkahi dengan penerapan teknologi mutakhir yang merakyat.

Reputasi Hukum
Antara Masyarakat dan Penegak Hukum
Pasca gerakan reformasi, banyak pihak berharap supremasi hukum dapat ditegakkan dengan alat-alat hukumnya yang berfungsi sebagaimana mestinya, tidak lagi basa-basi semasa orde baru. Sayangnya, institusi-institusi penegak hukum di negara ini sampai sekarang masih belum memiliki reputasi yang sungguh-sungguh berwibawa, dihormati, dan disegani. Padahal reputasi semacam itu adalah salah satu prasyarat untuk mereka dapat menjalankan tugasnya dengan baik. Kehadiran polisi di jalan raya masih sering dilecehkan, otoritas jaksa kerap diacuhkan, dan vonis hakim tidak jarang diragukan.
Hukuman Mati di Indonesia
Sebuah Kekeliruan Mortal
Sistem hukum Indonesia pun masih mengakui keabsahan hukuman mati, dan juga masih melaksanakan eksekusi dengan regu tembak. Tulisan ini akan mencoba menunjukkan betapa keadaan status quo adalah suatu kekeliruan yang sangat berbahaya dan tidak ada lagi argumen signifikan untuk mempertahankannya, baik secara umum apalagi secara khusus dalam konteks sistem hukum Indonesia. Rasa keadilan bagi korban seharusnya cukup dipuaskan dengan proses hukum yang adil, pembuktian yang sah, dan hukuman setimpal (seumur hidup misalnya). Rasa dendam? Bukanlah tugas negara untuk memuaskan rasa dendam.
