He got the same accusation as Lia Eden, the leader of Kingdom of God Community. They were doing actions that against religions and using religion with a wrong way.

Abdurahman's lawyer ask freedom for his client. But judge still want to hold Abdurahman's case. Law in Indonesia has more different than in West countries where people can create their own cult or religion. In Indonesia, government only admit 5 religions ( Islamic, Christian, Catholic, Hindu and Buddha ), government also admit some belief, but all of them are under the eye of Law Departement ( for belief ) and Religion Departement.

Lia and her companion made a new religion. They mix some religions into a new one, they believe about Christ but also taking some Islamic belief, and they add some reincarnation too. The Moslems people dont like about their action and asked police to caught the leader and forbid that cult.

Prison Break! Guards sleep after World Cup

World Cup isnt only a chance for commercial businesses, but also a chance for run away from jail. 5 prisoner from Belawan Police Office, Medan, ran from the jail. They know that all the 4 guards slept after watching World Cup. The guards felt asleep after watched Ghana vs Italy ( shown at 2.00-4.00 in the morning ).

The prisoners break the gate with small wire. They made a several damage first at the gate. After that they just run away from Police Office's jail. They are prisoners from many cases, drugs, business flaw, etc. Unfortunately one of them can be caught back. But the other 4 still being hunt by polices.

The poor careless guards now being investigated by their fellow polices friend. And I think they wont watched World Cup again, or they can just taped it.

Communist again? well old issue back again

Indonesia's Intelligence Department detect an increased of communist activity. The Head of BIN ( National Intelligence Body ), Syamsir Siregar said that government should pay attention about this issue. BIN found that the communists try to regain its power again, they keep doing some meetings masked under cooperation ( koperasi = kind of business that run by people for people ) topic.

The communist activity is being detected happen at Bandung, Blitar, Bogor and Cipayung. BIN also said that communists are the masterplan of some labor's demonstration.

Issues about communists are haunting Indonesia from long time ago. Communists are like a scarcrow doll to frightened Indonesian peoples and government keep bursting the issues. At 1965, communist party make riot and accused killed 7 generals, after that all the communists get discrimination ( even that their grandchildren can have work, and get special id card ). The 1965 riot is still a mystery, is it true that communist behind this riot?

Anyway, If I write more about this, it may cause harm to myself, since nobody dont want to get relate to communism.

Some of Hindu's spiritual leader reject Playboy. I Dewa Ngurah Swastha said that he and other friends ( spiritual leaders and educators ) hope that Bali government will close Playboy's office in Denpasar and also banned that magazine.

Playboy Indonesia wont make any benefit for Balinese and against their culture. " Playboy is against our belief, Tri Hita Karana ", said Swastha. " With Playboy appearance in Bali, people will think Bali as pornographic island, ironically, we're not trying to remove pornographic island's stigma from Bali and hope we can support the anti pornographic and pornoaction rule "

In other way, Prof Ni Luh Ketut Suryani said that , people dont make negative reaction against Playboy before seeing its content. And as long as Playboy get permission from government, its ok for Playboy Indonesia to markets its magazine here.

Polling from internet said that 78% of World Cup viewer in Indonesia feel upset about this. Titik is too old and not sporty looking. They prefer younger model for hosting World Cup. Almost of viewer dont watch Titik and only jumping in for the match.

Using Titik as a host is one of SCTV's tactic to make sensation. Because right now, Cendana's family ( Soeharto's family ) is having big attention from media. Soeharto is sick but still can celebrate his 85th birthday, and his son, has affair with artist. Now SCTV use Titik for host....
