Rumah Mesum Bebekan Digerebek Polisi

Untuk memastikan segala aktivitas mesum atau asusila selama Ramadhan ini benar-benar tutup, aparat Polres Lumajang tidak tanggung-tanggung melakukan pemantauan. Tidak hanya hotel saja yang diawasi ketat, namun berbagai rumah mesum dan warung remamng yang tersebar di berbagai wilayah Kecamatan, juga tidak luput dari pemantauan.

Sebagai bukti, Kamis (4/8/2011) siang, aparat gabungan Polres Lumajang melakukan penertiban ajang asusila di areal prostitusi liar berupa rumah mesum di Dusun Bebekan, Desa Kabuaran, Kecamatan Kunir. Dalam operasi penertiban dnegan sandi Pekat (Penyakit Masyarakat, red) ini, petugas bergerak dengan menumpang truk dari Mapolres Lumajang.

Setiba di areal yang menjadi sasaran penertiban, petugas pun segera melakukan penertiban dengan mengepung rumah mesum yang ada di sana. Rata-rata rumah mesum yang menjadi sasaran, menangkap warung kopi dan makanan.

Dari penertiban ini, petugas tiak memperoleh hasil yang memuaskan. Pasalnya, para penghuni rumah mesum setempat, yakni para Pekerja Seks Komersial (PSK) yang kerap mangkal di sana, mencium kedatangan petugas dan berhasil meloloskan diri. Meski, jumlah PSK yang tetap bertahan selama Ramadhan di lokalisasi prostitusi liar tersebut, tidak banyak.

Ada yang kabur ke arah kebun tebu dan jagung yang berbatasan langsung dengan bagian belakang rumah mesum yang mereka huni. Hingga, petugas pun kesulitan untuk menangkap mereka. Meski, ada yang disebutkan kabur dalam kondisi telanjang saat melayani tamu pria hidung belang.

Hanya seorang perempuan yang diduga berperan sebagai mucikari alias germo saja yang berhasil diamankan dalam operasi pekat siang itu. Mucikari ini belakangan diketahui bernama Lia (25), asal Desa Ranu Pakis, Kecamatan Klakah.

Perempuan yang diidentifikasi sebagai mucikari ini, selanjutnya diboyong petugas ke Mapolres Lumajang untuk diproses lebih lanjut atas perbuatan tindak pidana ringan yang dilakukannya.

“Dari hasil penertiban pekat di Dusun Bebekan itu, seorang mucikari yang diamankan diproses lebih lanjut untuk disidangkan dalam tindak pidana ringan. Sanksinya, biar Pengadilan Negeri (PN) Lumajang yang memutuskan,” demikian kata AKP Suherkamto Kasubag Humas Polres Lumajang kepada DIDI reporter Sentral FM Lumajang mendampingi AKBP Tejo Wijanarko Kapolres Lumajang.(her/ipg)

Indonesia bans YouTube, MySpace

Jakarta - Indonesia`s Information Minister Mohammad Nuh has ordered internet providers to ban access to popular sites like YouTube and MySpace.

The ban aims to prevent Indonesians from accessing a Dutch anti-Islam film.

A signed letter from the minister says: "[The] broadcast of the Fitna movie through the internet by the Dutch politician Geert Wilders might cause disturbance in relations between religions and civilisations around the world."

"We ask you to immediately use all effort to block all sites and blogs which post the Fitna movie," it added.

The letter was copied to Indonesia`s Police Chief.

Fearing a visit from the police, Indonesia`s Internet Providers Association has instructed its members to pull the plug on at least five sites including YouTube and MySpace.

A new internet law passed last month carries a maximum penalty of six years jail for online slander or creating conflict between groups.

The film by Wilders, leader of the Dutch anti-immigration Freedom Party, alternates images of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and other Islamist bombings with quotations from the Koran.

It also shows an image of the Prophet Mohammad primed to explode and says the rising number of Muslims in Europe threatens democratic values.

The Dutch Government has distanced itself from Wilders`s film, and the Dutch Upper House of Parliament has condemned what it called efforts to denigrate Islam and promote hatred.

ASEAN satisfied at RI`s steps to address haze pollution

Kuala Lumpur - ASEAN subregional ministers have expressed satisfaction at Indonesia`s efforts to address forest fires and haze pollution and called on ASEAN member countries to take joint preventive steps to face the dry spell probably in the third quarter of this year.

"We are satisfied at the progress made by Indonesia in coping with haze pollution. The number of hotspots in Sumatra and Kalimantan last year fell by 51 percent compared to 2006 based on data from the ASEAN meteorology and geophysics agency," Rachmat Witoelar, chairman of the fourth meeting of the sub regional ministerial steering committee on transboundary haze pollution held in Putrajaya, Malaysia, said on Tuesday.

The two-day meeting which opened on Monday was participated in by Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam and Thailand.

Based on its national plan of action on climate change, Indonesia had set itself the target of reducing the number of hotspots by 50 percent in 2009, 75 percent in 2012 and 95 percent in 2025 with 2006`s data as reference, said Witoelar, who is also Indonesian environment minister.

"These targets will serve as reference for the central and local governments in implementing their activities," he said.

ASEAN was also pleased with Indonesia`s decision to significantly raise the amount of budget allocations by Rp800 billion this year to cope with forest and bush fires, he said.

"We also have prepared steps to face the dry spell probably in the third quarter of 2008 which may increase the number of hotspots," he said.

ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) groups Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Donors affirm support to Mindanao dev`t plans

Mindanao - THE donor community has reaffirmed support for Mindanao`s peace and development, citing the need to move the peace process forward and harmonize convergence of foreign aid in the island.

At the recently concluded 2008 Philippines Development Forum, donors agreed to address the need to pursue a negotiated peace settlement between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and improve harmonization of Official Development Assistance (ODA) as priority agenda for Mindanao.

In his closing statement, Bert Hofman, Philippines country director of World Bank and PDF co-chair, said addressing conflict in Mindanao is critical in alleviating poverty in the poorest regions.

"Participants agreed it was imperative for the government and the MILF to continue (the) pursuit of a negotiated settlement of their conflict," Hofman said, citing the results of forum discussions. This, he added, "would permit the full development of regional agricultural and growth potential."

He further noted as positive development the ongoing review of the 1996 Peace Agreement with the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).

Citing conflict cessation as a key to poverty reduction, improving donor coordination is seen to be a critical mechanism particularly in the delivery of donor assistance in conflict areas and impoverished communities.

"Donors agreed to work through a unified strategy and mechanism for conflict-affected areas so that assistance is used effectively during and after the peace process," Hofman said, adding that peace-building efforts and community-driven development programs "have shown great promise in delivering the much needed basic services in poor and conflict-affected areas."

During the forum, some of the major donor agencies renewed commitment for continued support to peace and development initiatives in Mindanao.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAid) affirmed its support to the government`s peace and development agenda by focusing on improving education in conflict affected areas in Mindanao, while the European Commission said it would support on improving the health sector.

Likewise, the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) said it would work with relevant parties to build the foundation for peace in Mindanao.

Also in the pipeline is Japan government`s plan to invest capital and technical assistance in Mindanao through the Japan Bangsamoro Initiatives for Reconstruction and Development (JBird) project.

"The overwhelming continued support of our donor partners and a stronger voice in the Philippine Development Forum (PDF) offers a major impetus and stronger commitment in our collective pursuit of the Mindanao peace and development agenda," said Undersecretary Virgilio Leyretana, chair of the Mindanao Economic Development Council (Medco).

Leyretana also shared that Medco was able to initiate a convergence mechanism of Project Management Offices (PMOs) with implementing units in Mindanao to develop a "community of practice" for the sharing of lessons learned and good practices in local peace-building with other donor projects, media, and local government units (LGUs).

Hofman also said strengthening the capacity of the local governments is critical to the peace and development efforts in Mindanao.
