UN Convention Against Corruption

Indonesia has ratified UN CAC by Law No 7, 2006. Bribery and emblezzement by private sector is considered as corruption and subject to penal code. Very good news!

(Kompas, Saturday, August 11, 2006, page 3)

Stop Cigarette Expansion

Indonesian Government has no serious intention to stop cigarette expansion. Sampoerna/Philip Morris is building a giant cigarette factory in West Java, capacity: 9 billions cigarettes/year. It is truly a man made disaster!

(Media Indonesia, Tuesday, August 8, 2006, page A2)

Cut Prices for Generic Drugs

On July 17, 2006, Minister of Health, Republic of Indonesia reduced prices of 386 generic drugs. The branded generic drugs' prices should not set more than 3 times of generic drugs'prices. Good news for the poor.

Indonesia is a low income country but with the highest drug prices in the region. Irony.

(Media Indonesia, Friday, August 11, 2006, page 5).

Field Survey: Donation of Water Treatment Plant

On Thursday, 11 August 2006, Mr. Rusnandi Garsadi (Intitute Technology of Bandung), Dr. Pua (Indonesian Medical Association), Mr. Abdul Malik and his crews (Jakarta Municipal) and my self made a field survey to determine the location of water treatment plant (2 liter/second, IDR 130,000,000 ~US$ 14,500) to be donated to poor people in Jakarta slum area. We checked four locations in West Pademangan Village, North Jakarta about water sources (quality, debet, possible contamination), etc, etc. Second survey will be done in Lenteng Agung and Kampung Melayu areas.
Objective of the donation (from Institute Technology of Bandung & Indonesian Medical Association) is to provide clean water for 2,000 people and to support their community development.

We have not yet decided the location, estimated: end of August 2006, the plant will operate in decided area. This is a pilot project that can be easily duplicated by the communities under guidance of local government and us.

The Cheapest Distance Learning

Indonesia with 220 millions inhibitants, 16,000 islands, 6,000 km wide from west point (Aceh) to east point (Papua), a distance learning is the best tool for mass education. But due to poor country, low income, bad telecomunication infrastructure, high telecomunication cost, the distance learning as you see in this picture is almost impossible except for a few affluent people.

I tried to set up a distance learning program with minimum cost, it works between myself in Bandung and my friends in Surabaya, 30 people.

We use Yahoo Messenger for exchanging text and photo (voice, video, webcam are not possible, due to bad and low speed connectivity). We use mobile phone (GSM) for voice exchanging. My friends in Surabaya connected the mobile phone to converter and then to active speakers and the computer to LCD projector.

I have calculated the cost for this simple kind of distance learning (text, picture, voice) with excellent result:
Investment for gadgets for 1 Distance Learning Center (DLC): PC Rp 4,000,000 LCD Projector Rp 8,000,000 Mobile phone: Rp 1,500,000 Converter Rp 175,000 Active speakers Rp 350,000 TOTAL Rp 14,025,000 ~US$ 1,500.

Operation cost for 1 hour training: Connection to internet: 60 minutes x Rp 150/minutes = Rp 9,000. Mobile phone: 60 minutes x Rp 800/minutes = Rp 48,000. TOTAL Rp 57,000/hour ~US$ 7/hour.
