10 Alasan Mengapa Anggota DPR Tidur Saat Sidang

Anggota DPR banyak yang tertangkap kamera tidur saat sidang. Apa alasan mereka tidur? Ini dia 10 alasan kocaknya. Mudah-mudahan alasan di bawah ini tidak benar, jadi kita mengharapkan anggota DPR tidak tidur saat sidang.

1. Anggota DPR selalu menghargai nasehat orangtua. Kata orang tua tidur siang itu penting dan sehat, supaya terhindar dari penyakit berbahaya dan awet muda.

2. Tidur tidak tidur, mereka dibayar. Jadi, lebih baik tidur

3. Pasti akan gantuk mendengar pembicaraan berbelit, tidak berisi, penuh daya khayal, munafik, berliku, kaku, tak ada tujuan pasti arahnya,

4. Kalau ingin menjatuhkan musuh besarnya seperti seperti Sri Mulyani anggota DPR pasti bersemangat dan pantang menyerah. Dijamin 7 hari 7 malam melek terus karena demi memperjuangkan kepentingan dirinya dan partainya,

5. Tidak semua anggota DPR tidur. Mereka hanya tidur bila bicara soal rakyat. Tapi bila sudah bicara tentang duit, gaji, tunjangan, posisi jabatan, proyek, matanya melek smua hingga dinihari.

6. Mereka tidak tidur. Mereka sedang merenung dan bermimpi bagaimana agar rakyatnya dan dirinya tambah kaya, setidaknya balik modal, karena gajinya banyak disetor ke kas partai, bayar cicilan vila dan mobil mewah, dan konstituen! Pada saat yang sama gerak mereka tak bebas lagi setelah ada KPK.

7. Karena yang dibahas dalam sidang tidak menyangkut kepentingan diri sendiri dan partainya. Seandainya menyangkut individu dan partai, pasti diskusi dan interupsi tak pernah putus.

8. Ruang sidang sangat nyaman tempatnya dingin harum dan kursinya nyaman sekali. Makanya kalo sudah duduk lupa berdiri.

9. Mereka memikirkan nasib bangsa ini tanpa henti. Jadi kalo pas sidang mereka tidur kelelahan, biar masyarakat bisa melihat betapa “capek” mengurus bangsa ini.

10. DPR selalu menjunjung tinggi hukum dan undang-undang dalam setiap mengemukakan pendapat. Dalam aturan tata tertib persidangan, hanya dilarang mengganggu jalannya sidang. Sehingga, tidur saat sidang tidak melanggar aturan dan undang-undang

At least 112 dead, more than 500 missing after Indonesia quake

Indonesian resorts destroyed

Jakarta, Indonesia -- At least 112 people were killed and 502 others were missing after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Sumatra on Monday and triggered a tsunami, Indonesian officials said Tuesday.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake generated a "significant" tsunami. Some of the missing may include people who are unaccounted for after fleeing to higher ground, said Henri Dori Satoko, the head of the Mentawai Islands parliament.

Although communication with remote areas was difficult, some witnesses in West Sumatra reported seeing a wave 6 meters (nearly 20 feet) high. Other reports described the tsunami as being about 3 meters (almost 10 feet) high.

Satoko said at least one village with a population of about 200 people was swept away, with only 40 people recovered.

Eight to 10 Australians on board a tourist vessel who had been feared missing were reported to be safe, Satoko said. "All foreign tourists are safe.".

The numbers of dead and injured were in flux because information was trickling in from remote parts of Indonesia, a country made up of myriad islands. The area believed hardest-hit was the Mentawai Islands, a popular surfing destination. In particular, Pagai Island was thought to have been affected, said Ita Balanda, a program manager for World Vision in Padang.

Large waves were keeping rescue crews and aid workers from reaching the area. An Indonesian Red Cross assessment team had set out for the island but was forced to turn back because of high seas and debris in the water, said Gayat, spokeswoman for the agency, who like many Indonesians only uses one name. She said the team will try again Wednesday morning.

The trip takes 10 hours, even under good conditions, Balanda said.

The quake struck at 9:42 p.m. Monday, triggering a tsunami warning that was later lifted when sea level readings indicated the threat had diminished or was over for most areas. Its epicenter was 240 kilometers (150 miles) south of Padang, at a depth of 20.6 kilometers (12.8 miles), according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The magnitude was revised upward from a preliminary magnitude of 7.5.

"Big, slow, long earthquake last night, and a couple tremblers afterward," WavePark Mentawai Surfing Resort said on its website. "Turns out it was a 7.5 about 70 [kilometers] south of us." The resort said it saw "about six waves on the beach after about 20 minutes" but none was higher than usually seen during high tide.

"No damage here, but reports of damage to other resorts and charter boats further south," the posting said.

"The local residents in the Mentawai Islands reported seeing a tsunami as high as 3 meters [that] reached as far as 600 meters inland," said Mujiharto of the Indonesian Health Ministry.

The Perfect Wave, a surf travel company that said it had 32 clients in the area, also described the wave in a statement as about 3 meters (10 feet) high, and said it washed through a bay where two boats with clients on board were docked. One boat hit the other, which caught on fire, and all the guests jumped overboard. Nine guests and five crew members were washed into the jungle and took more than an hour to make their way to safety, the company said.

All those aboard were picked up by a third boat and were safe "apart from suffering some smoke inhalation and minor scratches," the statement said.

A surf guide aboard the third boat reported "there was a lot of debris floating in the water including bar stools and other pieces of furniture from Macaronis Resort," the company said. "No news on the state of the village at Silabu."

The resort, where six clients were staying, is "all but gone," the statement said.

"It's very difficult to access the coast right now because the sea is quite bad," said Gilles Bordessoule, owner of the Siloinak Surf Resort. He said his property was unaffected, but his staff was attempting to help the Macaronis Resort, which was "completely destroyed" along with two others. Two of the Macaronis guests are missing, he said.

He said the only means of communication with the affected area is by satellite phone, which is how he found out about the resort and received some other information. The fate of the other 130 kilometers (80 miles) of coastline is unknown, he said.

Bordessoule said he had been in contact with authorities and residents of the area and was told between 150 and 180 people are dead and body bags are needed.

World Vision's Balanda said her organization is working with the Indonesian government and the United Nations to figure out how to get to the hardest-hit area. Indonesian government resources have been sent to central Java, where Mount Merapi was erupting, she said, but said her group hopes one or two helicopters will be freed up to help with the quake and tsunami response. She said she is receiving information from a local nongovernmental organization as well as others in the region.

The Perfect Wave said it was working to obtain replacement passports for its clients and organize flights home.

The city of Padang and the Mentawai Islands are at the meeting place of two tectonic plates, making them vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis.

On December 26, 2004, a 9.1-magnitude earthquake struck off northern Sumatra. A tsunami generated by that earthquake killed more than 225,000 people in 14 countries -- mainly India, Indonesia, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The Indonesian region of Banda Aceh was hard-hit: About 150,000 died there.

At least 40 dead, 380 missing after Indonesia quake

Earthquake kills dozens in Indonesia

Jakarta, Indonesia -- At least 40 people were killed and 380 others were left missing after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Sumatra on Monday, Indonesian officials said Tuesday.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake generated a "significant" tsunami. Although communication with remote areas was difficult, witnesses in west Sumatra reported seeing a 6-meter (18-foot) high wave. One representative said at least one village with a population of about 200 people was swept away, with only 40 people recovered.

The numbers were in flux because information was trickling in from remote parts of Indonesia, a country made up of a myriad of islands.

Large waves also were keeping rescue crews from reaching the disaster zone, Hendri Dori Satoko, head of the Mentawai Islands parliament, said on local television.

The Sumatran coastline is known for large waves, making it a popular surfing destination. Surf travel company The Perfect Wave said in a statement on its website it had 32 clients in the area.

Between eight and 10 Australians were missing and were thought to be on a tourist boat, the MV Southern Cross, that was in the affected area when the quake struck, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in a statement.

The Australian Embassy in Jakarta was attempting to contact the boat, but "efforts to contact the captain have been hampered by poor telephone coverage in the area and by the fact that the boat is reportedly not equipped with a satellite phone," the statement said.

Indonesia's Sea Security Coordinator said it had not received any distress calls from boats in the area, and "at this stage we have no information that causes us to hold concerns for the welfare of the Australians on the boat." But the embassy will continue working with Indonesian authorities to confirm their safety, the statement said.

"The local residents in the Mentawai Islands reported seeing a tsunami as high as 3 meters [that] reached as far as 600 meters inland," said Mujiharto, of the Indonesian Health Ministry.

The quake struck at 9:42 p.m. Monday, triggering a tsunami warning that was later lifted when the warning center said sea level readings indicated the threat had diminished or was over for most areas.

The Perfect Wave statement said the quake triggered a 3-meter (9 feet) high tsunami that washed through a bay where two boats with clients on board were docked, the statement said. One boat hit the other, which caught on fire, and all the guests jumped overboard. Nine guests and five crew members were washed into the jungle and took more than an hour to make their way to safety, the company said. All those aboard were picked up by a third boat and were safe "apart from suffering some smoke inhalation and minor scratches," the statement said.

A surf guide aboard the third boat reported "there was a lot of debris floating in the water including bar stools and other pieces of furniture from Macaronis Resort," the company said. "No news on the state of the village at Silabu."

The resort, where six clients were staying, is "all but gone," the statement said. However, its staff and guests were all reported safe.

The company said it was working to obtain replacement passports for its clients and organize flights home.

The epicenter of the quake was 240 kilometers (149 miles) south of Padang, at a depth of 20.6 kilometers (12.8 miles), according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The magnitude was revised upward from a preliminary magnitude of 7.5.

The city of Padang and the Mentawai Islands are located at the meeting of two tectonic plates, making them vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis.

Sikap Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid Terhadap Fitnah Keji

SIKAP JAT TERHADAP FITNAH KEJI YANG MENGKAITKAN JAT DENGAN KASUS KRIMINAL

Berkaitan dengan upaya-upaya pembunuhan karakter dan pembusukan institusi Jama’ah Ansharut Tauhid melalui penggiringan oponi publik dengan pemberitaan segelintir media yang tidak lagi mengindahkan etika jurnalistik dan pendapat-pendapat orang-orang yang ‘mendadak’ menjadi pakar atau pengamat ‘terorisme’ serta ditambah lagi omongan ‘ngawur’ para mantan aktivis, maka perkenankanlah kami menyatakan beberapa hal berdasarkan fakta yang kami miliki:

1. Mengingatkan semua pihak dan lapisan masyarakat untuk mampu bersikap obyektif diatas landasan hati nurani serta kejujuran yang tersisa dalam menyimpulkan berbagai upaya pembentukan opini dari pihak – pihak yang memiliki kekuasaan dan sarana publikasi. Terutama segala hal yang terkait dengan rekayasa dan fitnah yang ditujukan kepada Islam dan kaum muslimin yakni upaya TERORISASI dan KRIMINALISASI Aktivis atau kelompok Islam.
2. Jama’ah Ansharut Tauhid, sekali lagi dan untuk kesekian kalinya, menegaskan bahwa tidak ada sikap ataupun program JAT yang membenarkan apalagi melibatkan anggota atau lembaganya kepada hal-hal yang berbau kriminalisme. Justru kami membentuk laskar untuk memerangi hal-hal yang berbau kriminal dan menjadi penyakit dalam masyarakat.
3. Jama’ah Ansharut Tauhid berpegang teguh pada Al Qur-an dan As Sunnah selaras pemahaman Salafus Sholeh berserta kaidah – kaidah fiqhiyah yang kokoh sesuai mazhab Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah. Maka kami menolak dengan tegas tindakan kriminal yang dibungkus dengan istilah-istilah Syar’i.
4. JAT memandang konsep Fa’i hanya berlaku di wilayah Perang dan Indonesia bukanlah wilayah Perang secara phisik. Indonesia adalah wilayah dakwah maka yang harus dilakukan adalah adu argumentasi / hujjah ‘perang’, nilai dan pemikiran.
5. JAT tidak menganut konsep Khawarij melakukan pengkafiran kepada kaum muslimin yang bukan golongannya secara sembrono tanpa dasar kaedah ilmiyah yang benar dan juga tidak menganut konsep Murji’ah yang mendiamkan berbagai kemunkaran bahkan membenarkan kekafiran.
6. Oleh karena itu, kami juga sangat perlu membantah pemberitaan TV One yang mewawancarai Khairul Ghazali sebagai salah satu korban penangkapan Densus 88 dalam acara Telusur tanggal 4 Oktober 2010 jam 22.00 malam dan Kabar Petang pukul 19.00 pada tanggal 5 Oktober 2010. Dalam acara itu disebut bahwa Alex dan Taufik Hidayat yang mati tertembak polisi yang disebut tersangka pelaku perampokan CIMB Medan, adalah anggota bahkan pengurus JAT Wilayah SUMUT.

Maka dengan ini kami tegaskan, bahwa :

• Alex dan Taufik Hidayat sama sekali bukan anggota apalagi pengurus JAT.
• JAT tidak memiliki anggota apalagi struktur kepengurusan wilayah Sumatra Utara.
• Pemahaman orang yang keliru tentang aplikasi Fa’i, yakni menghalalkan perampokan harta bukan dalam wilayah perang, siapapun orang yang menganut paham menyimpang ini, sama sekali bertolak belakang dengan pemahaman yang kami ajarkan dalam Jama’ah Ansharut Tauhid.
• Mendesak pemerintah RI dan jajaran keamanannya beserta seluruh media massa untuk segera menghentikan segala bentuk rekayasa yang mendiskreditkan JAT melalui fitnah keji sebagai pelaku Teror dan Kriminal. Dimana secara umum, hal ini pasti akan menyudutkan Islam dan kaum Muslimin.

Demikianlah pernyataan sikap resmi kami ini, semoga Alloh Subhanahu wa Ta’ala menunjukkan kita jalan menuju kepada hal – hal yang diridhoiNya dan melindungi kaum muslimin serta bangsa ini pada umumnya agar tidak terjebak dan termakan oleh berbagai fitnah dan kebohongan publik yang dilakukan oleh segelintir orang-orang yang berambisi terus melakukan pembenaran terhadap kebodohan dan perilaku jahatnya kepada bangsa dan Negara ini .

Hasbunalloh wa ni’mal wakiil, Laa haula wa laa quwwata illa billah .

DPR Harus Evaluasi Total Densus 88

Direktur Eksekutif Center Indonesian Reform (CIR), Sapto Waluyo, melayangkan kritik keras terhadap sepak terjang Densus 88 di Medan.

Menurutnya, penyergapan terduga teroris di Medan sangat bermasalah. Hal ini karena terduga teroris sama sekali tidak sedang melakukan perlawanan. Bahkan, sedang shalat Maghrib.

”Sangat mencolok ambiguitas Densus 88 saat terungkap bagaimana terjadinya penyergapan kepada para tersangka,” ujar Sapto.

Menurutnya, dalam penyergapan yang bermasalah itu, tersangka ternyata tidak melakukan perlawanan seperti yang disampaikan polisi selama ini. Bahkan, sedang shalat.

”Mengapa harus ditembak mati? Apa bahayanya?” tanya Sapto.

Menurutnya, tragedi ini mengingatkan kita dengan penyerbuan terhadap tersangka teroris yang bernama Ibrahim di Temanggung beberapa waktu lalu.

”Dan ini terulang lagi di Medan!” tegas Sapto dengan nada keras.

Karena itu menurutnya, DPR harus melakukan evaluasi total Densus 88 via Pansus, sejalan terbentuknya Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme,” ucap Sapto. mnh

Gunmen kill 3 officers at police station in Indonesia

Jakarta, Indonesia -- Unknown gunmen fatally shot three policemen Wednesday at a police station in Indonesia's North Sumatra province, authorities said.

Men on motorcycles entered the police compound about 1 a.m. and shot the officers, who were on duty at the district police station in Deli Serdang, said District Police Chief Inspector General Oegroseno. Oegroseno, who goes by one name, spoke on local television.

The killings raised speculation about a link to recent police raids and the arrests of suspected terrorists in North Sumatra.

No such link had been established, police spokesman Marwoto Soeto said.

On Sunday, Indonesian authorities killed three suspects and arrested 15 others in raids. Ties were later established between the 18 and terrorist groups, police said Monday.

The raids netted TNT and high-powered weapons, police said.

The three suspects who were killed Sunday, and three of those arrested, were involved in a bank heist in August, National Police Chief Bambang Hendarsono Danuri said at a news conference Monday in Medan, North Sumatra. The men belonged to a terror cell in charge of raising money to buy weapons, the chief added.

The suspects were part of a militant training camp in Aceh, which authorities raided earlier this year, and fled to nearby Medan to raise more money, Danuri said. Police are still hunting for other members of the group.

Terror cells in Indonesia have used armed robberies to raise money for their operations in the past.

Indonesians protest U.S. church's plan to burn Quran

Jakarta, Indonesia -- Thousands of Indonesians gathered Sunday outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta to protest a Florida church's plan to burn copies of the Quran.

The Dove World Outreach Center in Gainsville, Florida, plans to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks by burning copies of the Muslim holy text. The center describes itself as a "New Testament church based on the Bible." It made headlines last year when it distributed a T-shirt that said, "Islam is the devil."

Protesters in Jakarta carried signs saying, "Jihad to protect Koran" and "You burn qu'ran you burn in hell." The protesters included members of the hard-line Muslim group Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia and the pluralism care movement, a multi-faith group.

"We hope that the U.S. government to stop this plan. We represent Muslim, Christians and other religions who all wants to avoid any clashes as a result," Damien Dematra, the coordinator for the pluralism care movement, said in a news statement.

Police were on the scene at the peaceful protest, which included children.

The Florida church said on its blog: "On 9/11/10 we are burning Korans to raise awareness and warn. In a sense it is neither an act of love nor of hate. We see, as we state in the Ten Reasons below, that Islam is a danger. We are using this act to warn about the teaching and ideology of Islam, which we do hate as it is hateful. We do not hate any people, however. We love, as God loves, all the people in the world and we want them to come to a knowledge of the truth. To warn of danger and harm is a loving act."

Muslims see provocation in the plan.

"The burning is not only an insult to the holy Koran, but an insult to Islam and Muslims around the world," said Muhammad Ismail, the spokesman for Hizb ut-Tahrir.
