Source : http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/11/28/n-sumatra-police-nab-7-cops-2-women-for-alleged-drug-party.html

The north sumatra police officers have been arrested of doing the drug party. There were 7 police officers and 2 women who get caught consuming drugs at a cafe on Jl. Listrik in Medan. When The arrived in police office, they were interrogated and tested. From their urine test, they are all being sentence because all of them are positive of consuming drugs. The police officers have been interrogated and the women were gone for rehabilitation.

I praise the police officer on my last blog but then I found this news. How come the police officers who should be the one who know about the drugs, criminal and so on become the one who violate the law itself. They should protect the country not making it has more damage. Indonesia National Police should really take an action of this and I hope the police officers know that they are wrong and back to the right way again.

Nine people arrested because the police believe that they are the people who made a chaos of the demonstration in Jakarta on Nov 4. They started to attack the police by trying to take a gun from police officer. However, it was not going well with the plan because police officers there did not bring their gun. No matter what happen, this nine people keep trying. They burn two police car to success the mission they have. The aim of the demonstration is to let down the governor of Jakarta now-Basuki "ahok" Tjahaja Purnama. Nevertheless, police believe that it is not because of that and they have another reason. The reason is that they are joining IS in Syria. Police afraid that this nine people will make a fuss later on so they arrested them all first before the bad condition happen in Indonesia.

In my opinion, the police officers have done their best to protect our country. They can not easily angry when the demonstrator teased them by punching the helmet and so on. I believe they also dream about peace. And also I hope for the society for not being racist. Because all of us are all the same and all of us is one. We are Indonesia and we should respect each other and reflect our behaviour based on Pancasila.

Bali police say tests show Australian teen didn't have drugs

Jamie Murphy, an eight teen years old boy who has already graduate from his high school in Australia came to Bali to celebrating his graduation. Unfortunately, he bought a white powder which weight 1,6 grams from a stranger in the way to night club. That stranger said that it was a medicine and it would make his life better. Not long after that, police found the powder inside his backpack and they brought him to police station for investigation. After investigating the powder and test his urine, The police released that boy because that powder did not contain drugs but it contain a paracetamol and mixed with a second analgesic which the authorities did not name. Before this happened, some Australian people who had gone to Bali and have a suspicious look also being investigated by the police. The police confirmed that they consume drugs so that they should go to jail for months or doing the public service for a while.

I think Bali's police officers have already given their best to decrease the usage of drugs. We can see it from the amount of the criminals who have been caught for past years. Indonesia forbids the usage of drugs and that law also applies to all foreigners who come to Indonesia. I hope the foreigners cab respect our culture and enjoy their visit to Indonesia without going to the police station because they bring drugs to Indonesia.

Kelimutu lakes change color for the 6th time this year

Source : http://www.thejakartapost.com/travel/2016/11/24/kelimutu-lakes-change-color-for-the-6th-time-this-year.html

Kelimutu lakes are the tourist attraction place in Indonesia which is located in East Nusa Tenggara. It has three lakes which usually change color once a year. However, this year is different because it has already change six times from January until November. Kelimutu National Park Agency (BTNK) believe that it was happening because of the chemical reaction occurring in the mountain crater. Some people thought that it changed color to often because of volcanic activity from the mountain but  BTNK has already checked it and the data showed that it was not because of the volcanic activity so they asked the people who lived around the mountain not to worry about this lakes condition.

I think we should believe what the expert said. However we should also have an anticipation because the mountain is still active and we can not avoid the fact that it has a chance to explode later. I hope no one is injured when volcano happen there. 

Miss World 1998 shares rape story in documentary

This article tells about online documentary film that made by Abargil, Miss World 1998. She shared her experience through it. She was raped in the age of 18 by an Israeli travel agent in Milan. From her video, she said that woman who being raped should not blame herself. "We are all the victims and we should tell this situation to the police and give the evidence also" She added. She also mentioned that the first thing to do after that bad situation happen is telling the family or close person so that they can give an advice and support the victims no matter what the situation now is. Abargil shared her video and experience because she want to encourage the victims of rape. The victims should not be afraid to go on law and fight for her right.

I think that all Abargil saying is right and raping is like a common issue for every country in the world. It is all the consciousness and responsibility of all the people. The criminals should think about what have they done and I think they should go to jail so that they can understand that they only give bad experience for the victims, that they could make the victims become trauma or even more become mentally ill. The victims should not blame their-selves and report the crime to the police as soon as possible. The victims also need the support and love from close people when it comes, so their family or friend should help them to go out from stress because of this crime. Furthermore,  Government should give his attention to criminalization like this so that the amount of the crime will decrease and it will not make anyone suffer from it ever again.

Samarinda church attacker convicted terrorist: Police

Source : http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/11/13/samarinda-church-attacker-convicted-terrorist-police.html

On the Sunday, people in Samarinda become startled because of the explosion that happened in the parking lot of one church. The explosion came from Molotov Cocktail that has been throw by a man. This man who has an initial "J" is 32 years old. Police said that he was the terrorist and has been arrested in 2012. He sentenced or 42 months prison for his involvement to blow up one of the institute in Serpong, Banten. The explosion caused 4 victims who are all toddlers and 4 motorcycle were had damage.

In my opinion it will trauma people in that area. How can people who has already gone to prison made the same mistake as before and go to jail again in the end. How come he is not reflect his fault and made the disadvantage of other people? I think he should spend his whole life in prison so that he will  not make the same mistake never again.

PPP suggests LGBT 'healing' program be covered by BPJS

Source : http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/11/14/ppp-suggests-lgbt-healingprogram-be-covered-by-bpjs.html

PPP ( The Islam based United Development Party) recommended to the government that LGBT people in Indonesia should be treated. LGBT people can use BPJS ( Social health card for Indonesia people ) to lighten the cost of the doctor's treatment. Although they think it must be cured, WHO does not consider it as psychiatric disorder. PPP deputy also the recommended a law for LGBT. He warned people of this issue and said that we should protect the young generation of that issue.

I slightly disagree about this because I think people have their right to choose what they like without the barrier of the society or law. Love is not a bad thing so why it should be in law. We can not choose to fall in love but we just did it naturally. I think the best way to find solution is remind silent if you are LGBT or simply moved to other country that give you freedom. Since Indonesia is not a free country and most of the people here have traditional thought that will make it difficult to be different.
