34 Partai Untuk Pemilu 2009

By Calvin Michel Sidjaja | Jul 11, 2008

Saya rasa tidak perlu banyak bicara. Kekhawatiran bahwa partai yang lolos terlampau banyak menjadi kenyataan, seperti yang saya tulis berbulan-bulan sebelumnya. Pada tahun 2009 kita akan memiliki 33 Partai yang akan mengikuti pemilu (kata surat kabar sih 34, tapi yang di KPU baru 33 tuh).
Menurut saya ini indikator adanya pertarungan kepentingan yang amat parah di [...]

Today there were three speakers invited, the first was Prof. Dr. Aleksius Jemadu, who delivered interesting lecture of “Good Governance ad the Role [...]

Apakah FPI “Untouchables”?

By Calvin Michel Sidjaja | Jun 3, 2008

Saya rasa semua orang sudah  membaca berita mengenai kejadian memalukan ini (dan menambah panjang deretan kejadian tidak pantas yang dilakukan FPI). Pada hari kesaktian Pancasila, FPI menyerang Aliansi Kebangsaan di Monas. Sebetulnya membicarakan FPI tidak ada habisnya, tapi saya sendiri lalu bertanya-tanya, kenapa FPI tidak dibubarkan? Apakah FPI sebegitu berbahayanya sampai-sampai pemerintah pun tidak [...]

By Calvin Michel Sidjaja | Apr 29, 2008

Postingan ini sebenarnya adalah lanjutan dari postingan saya mengenai Intrex dan Pemilu di Unpar, soalnya substansinya agak penting.
Seperti yang saya katakan di postingan sebelumnya, ada satu Stand dari ASEAN Secretariat, dan mereka membagikan souvenir gratis, seperti kartu pos, dan buku kisah rakyat negara anggota ASEAN dan China yang memiliki ilustrasi bergambar dan tampaknya ditujukan [...]

Indonesia Follows China: The Great Firewall and Sexuality Control

By Calvin Michel Sidjaja | Apr 13, 2008

Indonesia, just like China, just has recently begun its internet censorship. Unless you aware already, China actually has so-called “Great Firewall of China”, a jargon used to indicate the heavy censorship toward values that aren’t allowed by Communist Party.
Anyway, Indonesia also more or less, will start its own firewall. On 11 April 2008, Ministry of [...]
