China Cracks Down on Illegal Industrial Mining

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

BAISHAZHEN, China — The elderly rice farmer was leading three outsiders into an illegal quarry to show them the gangster-run mine that has poisoned his village’s fields and streams.

Suddenly, a blue Hyundai sport utility vehicle sped up to them in a cloud of red dust. A Toyota pickup pulled up behind, its windows tinted too dark to see how many people might be inside.

“Shove off!” the Hyundai driver screamed at the old man and his visitors, who included an American reporter. “We’re going to carve all of you up, slaughter all of you and burn your car!”

The stooped farmer, Song Zuokai, 81, grunted and began shuffling out of the quarry with his jittery guests.

Such threats are all too common in this region of southern China, long plagued by gangsters who illegally mine some of the world’s most sought-after industrial metals. The gangs reap profits that can rival drug money, while leaving pollution and violence in their wake.

What is new are efforts by China’s national and provincial governments to crack down on the illegal mines, to which local authorities have long turned a blind eye. The efforts coincide with a decision by Beijing to reduce legal exports as well, including an announcement by China’s commerce ministry on Tuesday that export quotas for all rare earth metals will be 35 percent lower in the early months of next year than in the first half of this year.

Israel can never defeat the resistance

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

A senior Hamas official has asserted that any Israeli act of aggression is destined to fail in the face of the steadfastness displayed by the Palestinian people. “They can’t accomplish anything against the people, who resist the occupation,” the deputy chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau, Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook, told Press TV. Speaking on the anniversary of the beginning of Israel’s December 2008-January 2009 war on the Gaza Strip, he said Tel Aviv launched the assault for political gain. Israel sought to break the resistance of the Palestinian people and to remove Hamas from Gaza, he noted.

“They want(ed) to accomplish the many aims at that time and the Israeli troops failed to accomplish any of those aims,” he added.

Tel Aviv tried to justify its decision to start the war by claiming it had been targeted by home-made rockets reportedly fired from Gaza. However, the projectiles are seldom known to have caused any casualties or considerable damage to Israeli property.

The Gaza war killed more than 1,400 Palestinians and inflicted over $1.6 billion in damage on the besieged territory’s economy.

Marzook also called for unity among all Palestinians.

Andrea Hirata: A Writer’s Journey

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

The success of Andrea Hirata’s tetralogy — Laskar Pelangi, Sang Pemimpi, Edensor and Maryamah Karpov (to be released soon) — has turned the best-selling author into a rising star on the Indonesian literary map. Readers can’t get enough of him, critics don’t know what to make of him and filmmakers are knocking at his door. He sits down with Maggie Tiojakin and tells her why, despite all the attention, he remains a small- town boy at heart.

It is 4:30 in the afternoon and Andrea Hirata, wearing a mauve shirt and a black beret, is in the middle of a day full of meetings. This will be his sixth interview of the day, but he seems unfazed by the prospect of sitting through yet another hour of relentless questions.

A quick glance at his standard profile does not do full justice to the author of three best-sellers, and his laid-back attitude often betrays the energy that emanates from within him as he speaks. He begins by telling the story of his beloved teacher, Ms. Muslimah, whose passion for teaching inspired him to write Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warriors), his first work about growing up on the island of Belitung.

bali ngaben | Thousands bid farewell to late King of Peliatan

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

The Bali royal families, foreign dignitaries and thousands of residents of Peliatan and Ubud flocked to Peliatan Palace to witness the grand cremation of the late King of Peliatan IX, Ida Dewa Agung Peliatan, on Tuesday.

Royal cremation: A wooden sarcophagus in the shape of a white bull with gold plated horns makes its way along Ubud’s crowded streets on Tuesday. The coffin  of the late Ida Dewa Agung Peliatan IX, the last king of Peliatan, with a  25-meter-tall bade cremation tower on it is seen in the background. The remains of the Balinese king were later moved from the tower and placed inside the sarcophagus  and cremated. Almost 7,000 men from 30 hamlets in Ubud took turns  to help carry the sarcophagus, the bade and the naga banda (dragon) during the funeral procession. JP/Agung Parameswara

Prior to the grand palebon agung — a cremation ritual for members of the Bali royal families — Peliatan’s royal family and nobility paid their last respects to the late King, who died from diabetes last August.

Hindu High Priest Ida Pedanda Lingsir Padang Tegal, who presided over the religious ritual, fired a sacred arrow into a 6-meter-tall dragon-shaped bridge called naga banda in a symbol of destroying the earthly desires that tormented the late king, and thus releasing his soul from the temptations of the material world.

Malaysia to order CN-235 maritime patrol aircraft from Indonesia

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Malaysia is planning to sign a letter of intent in April for four Indonesian Aerospace CN-235 maritime patrol aircraft.

Air force officials, including chief of staff Rodzali bin Daud, have been negotiating with Indonesia’s state-owned aircraft-maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia for the purchase, say industry sources.

The two sides hope to sign a letter of intent at the Defence Services Asia show in Kuala Lumpur in late April, they add.

Malaysia needs maritime patrol aircraft because its air force has been relying largely on four Beechcraft Super King Airs that it received in 1994. One of these was recently upgraded with a Thales radar and a second is to undergo the same work in the coming months.

The air force wants the CN-235MPAs to widen its operations and improve payload performance, say industry sources. The service already operates CN-235 transports, so Indonesia’s offering provides some fleet commonality.

Malaysia has considered other types, such as a version of the Fokker 50. Fokker Services Asia had pushed the model as a cheaper alternative, and made a proposal to have some commercial Fokker 50s recently phased out by Malaysia Airlines converted for the maritime patrol mission by national maintenance, repair and overhaul firm Airod. Malaysian government investment firm Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad owns the retired aircraft.
