Megawati’s story is considered un-Islamic even though she has performed 2 pilgrimages and 3 Umrahs

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com February 17, 2023

Jakarta –

PDI-P chairman Megawati Soekarnoputri said that she was considered un-Islamic. Megawati said she was even though she had performed Hajj twice and performed Umrah twice.

This was stated by Megawati at the Pancasila Kick Off in Action ‘The Universal Movement Plans to Prevent Stunting’ which was held by the BKKBN, Thursday (16/2/2023). Megawati initially spoke about the Indonesian people’s lack of sensitivity to disasters.

“Why are our people not ready for (disasters)? It’s always said like this, the disaster was God’s gift, masyaallah. Yo, what can we not do? That’s my trial too,” said Megawati.

Then, he told me that he was often considered un-Islamic.

“I am a Muslim, later you will be told that I am not Muslim. I am a Muslim, I have gone on the Hajj twice, I have done Umrah 3 times, some say I am not Islamic, that’s so stupid,” he said.

“I mean God said, Allah SWT, we must have a name in order to live, live,” he added,

Furthermore, he also asked the public not to wait for the ball to be picked up from the authorities if there was an earthquake. Communities are considered to be alert in the face of disaster.

“Well, if Wes panics like that, I think it’s like Turkey (an earthquake), don’t wait. So please coordinate with him,” he said.

Touched on the Height Requirements for TNI Candidate Body

During the event, Megawati also touched on the height requirements for TNI candidates. He regretted that the former TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa had revised the TNI height requirement to 160 cm.

“When Pak Andika was still Commander in Chief, ‘Dik’, because I knew the two of them were still dating, because Mr. Mrs. he was my BIN, Mr. Hendropriyono, so I called him ‘Dik’,” said Megawati, in a broadcast on BKKBN’s YouTube.

“Sister, that’s what you’re talking about, Sis, I was talking about Indonesian youths who are 180 cm tall. You know you came out with a minimum height of 160 cm. Is this what you want?” he continued.

Megawati then imitated Andika’s response. At that time, continued Mega, Andika had difficulty finding candidates for TNI members who were over 170 cm tall.

“Yes, ma’am, you don’t know the field is really difficult, ma’am, looking for 180 cm.

Don’t ask for innovation results, but the license

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com February 10, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Jakarta –

Head of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Laksana Tri Handoko spoke about the results of BRIN’s 2-year work since it was formed in April 2021. Tri emphasized that researchers should not be asked about innovation results.

“I always answer, researchers don’t ask about the results of innovation, ask about the license, ask which one of them?” said Tri Handoko to reporters at the BRIN Office, Central Jakarta, Friday (10/2/2023).

“If we are asked about the results of the innovation, he will just launch it. When it comes to launching, it’s easy, it’s just for self-exhibition, isn’t it. But is that really going to happen, entering the industry?” he added.

Tri said that his party was focused on licensing the results of research conducted by BRIN researchers. According to him, licensing is far more important than launching an innovative product.

“We focus on licensing, focus on the industry directly, because it is precisely the process that is important, that’s what has not been done so far,” he said.

He assessed that issuing a research license would be much more useful because it could generate royalties compared to launching an innovative product. He admits that he does not like to show off the achievements of the institution he leads.

“So we publish every year and hand over the royalties given to our friends, whose patents have been licensed and that’s quite good, and that’s far more concrete than, and creates a real economic effect, rather than launching spending money too,” he said.

“I was also asked, ‘Why not launching?’. I don’t like to show off, I said,” he continued.

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com February 1, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Jakarta, CNNIndonesia —

Member of Commission VII DPR from NasDem factionRudi Hartono Bangun threatened to report the Head of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Laksana Tri Handoko regarding allegations of budget abuse in his institution to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

This statement was made by Rudi in the DPR’s Commission VII meeting with BRIN at the parliament complex, Monday (31/1). He said Laksana had committed a lot of budget abuse for several programs at BRIN.

“You eat too much by yourself. Later you will get caught later, if there is something bad we will do, we will encourage you, we will demonstrate you in front of the KPK, you will enter. This regime is okay, you will survive, the future regime is not certain,” said Rudi, pointing his hand .

Rudi initially questioned BRIN’s use of the budget, which he considered unreasonable. One of them highlighted the budget allocation for activities for the leadership and members of Commission VII with details of 25 activities until August 2023.

He questioned the urgency of the activity. What is the proper nomenclature of the activity. According to him, the activity was inappropriate and overlapped with the activities of Commission VII.

According to him, this activity has been carried out by the Secretariat General of the DPR. He considered that the activities carried out by BRIN overlapped.

“If it is examined by the BPK, this overlaps sir. You should make a kind of EO sir. You auction it off to a third party. Then hand it over to a member, you want to take half of it from Rp. 100-200 million, half of which will be handed over to the member’s clear EO, ” he said.

“This is Mr. manipulation with the members below. You wrote down this procurement, a budget of Rp. 300 million. This is what I suspect is called manipulation and corruption,” added Rudi.

The meeting later urged the government to immediately replace Laksana Tri Handoko as Head of National Agency for Research and Innovation. The meeting also recommended that a special audit be carried out on the use of the 2022 BRIN budget by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).

“Commission VII of the DPR urges the government to immediately replace the Head of BRIN considering the various problems of BRIN that have not been resolved,” quoted the conclusion of the meeting.
