KPAI: Penuhi Hak Anak Penyandang Disabilitas
JAKARTA, SENATORINDONESIA.COM. Setiap 3 Desember di seluruh dunia diperingati sebagai hari bagi
penyandang disabilitas. Pemerintah Indonesia telah menandatangani Konvensi Hak
Penyandang Disabilitas di New York pada tahun 2007. Namun baru meratifikasi
konvensi tersebut 4 tahun kemudian dengan undang-undang no. 19 tahun 2011.
Ratifikasi dimaksudkan untuk memajukan, melindungi, dan menjamin kesamaan hak,
kebebasan yang mendasar bagi semua penyandang disabilitas. Hal ini didasarkan
pada pandangan bahwa setiap penyandang disabilitas harus bebas dari penyiksaan
atau perlakuan yang kejam, tidak manusiawi, merendahkan martabat manusia, bebas
dari ekploitasi, kekerasan, dan perlakuan semena-mena.
Namun implementasi
undang-undang mengenai hak-hak bagi penyandang disabilitas ini masih jauh dari
harapan, baik pada penyandang disabilitas secara umum maupun pada anak
penyandang disabilitas khususnya. 5 tahun setelah ratifikasi konvensi, kita
masih menemukan bahwa pemenuhan hak anak dengan disabilitas masih belum
optimal. Realitas ini bisa dilihat pada minimnya sarana dan prasarana
pendidikan; banyak sekolah yang belum memiliki fasilitas jalan untuk siswa yang
harus memakai kursi roda, jumlah sekolah luar biasa [SLB] dan jumlah guru untuk
inklusi dan SLB juga belum sepadan dengan jumlah anak penyandang disabilitas.
Data kemendiknas 2010, jumlah siswa berkebutuhan khusus baru sekitar 20% dari
total 347.000 anak berkebutuhan khusus atau sekitar 75.000 siswa. Artinya masih
banyak anak berkebutuhan khusus yang tak mengenyam pendidikan formal SLB.
Fasilitas kesehatan untuk anak berkebutuhan khusus masih belum
memadai. Mereka membutuhkan fasilitas tumbuh kembang khusus agar memiliki hak
untuk mendapatkan penghormatan atas integritas mental dan fisiknya berdasarkan
kesamaan dengan orang lain. Anak tuna grahita (cacat ganda) misalnya,
membutuhkan pembinaan dan pendampingan terus-menerus oleh tenaga kesehatan
karena pada umumnya mereka sulit untuk hidup mandiri. Anak yang tinggal di daerah
yang jauh atau terpencil lebih sulit mengakses fasilitas kesehatan karena tidak
semua rumah sakit daerah memiliki layanan untuk anak disabilitas. Bahkan tidak
semua anak dengan disabilitas berasal dari keluarga dengan kemampuan ekonomi
memadai sehingga dapat memenuhi kebutuhan khusus anak-anak mereka. Oleh karena
itu, pemerintah pusat maupun daerah sebaiknya segera menyediakan fasilitas
kesehatan untuk anak dengan disabilitas yang mudah diakses oleh seluruh
masyarakat, terjangkau secara ekonomi serta berkualitas.
Pandangan masyarakat terhadap anak dengan disabilitas juga masih
beragam, sebagian besar masih memiliki opini bahwa anak disabilitas atau
penyandang cacat adalah beban keluarga. Bahkan pada daerah tertentu masih
ditemui anak disabilitas dipasung atau dikurung di dalam rumah karena dianggap
berbeda dengan anak-anak lainnya. Sosialisasi undang-undang dan peraturan
terkait hak-hak penyandang disabilitas perlu ditingkatkan, agar masyarakat
memahami bahwa anak disabilitas tidak boleh terkurangi hak-haknya seperti hak
nondiskriminasi, kepentingan terbaik bagi anak, hak tumbuh kembang dan
penghargaan terhadap pendapat anak.
Pemenuhan hak anak penyandang disabilitas merupakan tanggung jawab
bersama yang harus dilakukan oleh negara, pemerintah, dan masyarakat.
Implementasi berbagai kebijakan terkait hak penyandang disabilitas yang telah
dirumuskan hendaknya ditindaklanjuti secara serius oleh pemerintah agar
anak-anak Indonesia penyandang disabilitas memperoleh hak-hak mereka.
Pada peringatan tahun ini,
semoga anak dengan disabilitas di seluruh dunia, khususnya di Indonesia
terpenuhi hak-haknya tanpa hambatan, sehingga dapat tumbuh dan berkembang
dengan sehat, ceria dan tanpa diskriminasi.
Salam senyum anak
Indonesia,

Official BMW fleet hand over to Singapore Sports Council for Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012
Official BMW fleet hand over to Singapore Sports Council for
Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012.
Full and Half Marathon runners stand a chance to win a brand
new BMW X1 sDrive20i.
Singapore – BMW Asia today announced their continued sponsorship of the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012 (SCMS) for the second consecutive year, by providing more than 25 units of BMW cars, with a mixture including; the flagship BMW 7 Series, the BMW 3 Series sedan, as well as sports activity vehicles like the BMW X1 and BMW X5.
Mr Lim Teck Yin, Chief Executive Officer, Singapore Sports Council, and Chairman of the SCMS 2012 Organising Committee said: “BMW’s continued support of the SCMS exemplifies how Corporate Singapore can be involved in sports events to engage their consumers in a meaningful way and help them live better through sports. Through its Pacers’ Programme and Team BMW – BMW has taken customer engagement to a deeper level. This builds brand awareness, affinity and loyalty in the long run. As we see more major sports events introduced in Singapore’s sports calendar, especially with the new Sports Hub opening in 2014, we encourage more companies to consider using sports as a channel to engage their customers.”
“BMW is pleased to be participating in the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012 for the second year. Contrary to popular belief, marathon running and BMW cars actually have a lot in common. While marathon runners aim to cover as much distance with as little energy spent, BMW cars are engineered to achieve more power without compromising on fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions thanks to the Efficient Dynamics technology,” said Mr Neil Fiorentinos, Managing Director of BMW Group Asia.
The philosophy behind the Efficient Dynamics technology comprises of a highly efficient engine through air and fuel management, minimised energy loss, lightweight design and superior aerodynamics. In principle, these are also core aspects of marathon running; proper breathing techniques, efficient use of energy and lightweight or aerodynamic running gear.
Apart from sponsoring the fleet, BMW Asia will also be providing a brand new BMW X1 sDrive20i for the runners of the Full and Half Marathon (more details as below).
BMW’s Participation in Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012
Similar as before, BMW Asia will be unveiling a series of initiatives aimed at further engaging participants and improving the race experience for SCMS 2012 runners, in the lead up to and during the race on 2 December 2012.
Runners of the Full and Half Marathon will also have a chance to win a brand new BMW X1 sDrive20i by joining Team BMW. This will be complemented with a series of activities including running clinics where runners will be given expert coaching to hone their technique and performance ahead of SCMS 2012.
BMW will also be sponsoring the pacers programme for Full Marathon runners to help them improve and achieve their personal bests. And as the official car, a fleet of more than 20 BMW cars will be deployed to provide medical, logistics and operational support on race day.
Win the BMW X1 sDrive20i
All Singapore citizens and Singapore Permanent Residents, who are 18 years and above as of the date they signed up for either the Full Marathon or Half Marathon race category of the SCMS 2012, will be eligible to win the BMW X1 sDrive20i simply by registering for Team BMW. A point system and random draw will then determine the lucky winner of the BMW X1 sDrive20i, which will be conducted on 12 December 2012.
The BMW X1 is a tremendously popular compact all-rounder that has proved to be a bestseller with more than 300,000 units already delivered worldwide. The stand-out position of the BMW X1 is also reflected in the many national and international prizes bestowed on the BMW X model in recognition for its designed, deriving characteristics and high safety levels, including; Readers’ Choice for Off-Roader of the Year by “OFF ROAD” magazine, Red Dot Designed Award 2011 and 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, just to name a few.
Now, the new BMW X1 comes equipped with a more powerful engine powered by BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and a broad spread of BMW EfficientDynamics technology fitted as standard to give the sports utility vehicle the tools to further increase its lead over the competition in terms of sporting ability and efficiency.

ACARA APINDO: Indonesia Services Dialogue (ISD)
Sektor jasa memainkan peran yang semakin signifikan dalam perekonomian
nasional dan penciptaan lapangan kerja. Pertumbuhan nilai tambah dan
pekerjaan di sektor jasa jauh lebih cepat dibanding sektor-sektor utama
lainnya. Nilai output di sektor jasa berkembang hampir dua kali lebih
cepat, sedangkan pekerjaan di sektor jasa meningkat lebih dari dua kali
kecepatan yang dicatat sektor pertanian, manufaktur, dan pertambangan
pada tahun 2000-an.
Hanya dalam waktu satu dekade, pangsa jasa terhadap PDB meningkat dari 44 persen menjadi lebih dari 50 persen, sedangkan pangsa pekerjaan di sektor jasa naik dengan besaran serupa, hingga sedikit kurang dari 50 persen dari semua pekerjaan yang tercatat di tahun 2010.
Pertumbuhan di sektor jasa sangat penting karena berkontribusi langsung terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional dan penciptaan lapangan kerja. Pertumbuhan sektor jasa juga sangat penting untuk menghindari timbulnya sumbatan dalam kegiatan usaha dan pembangunan nasional. Mengapa? Sebab sektor jasa merupakan "pelumas" yang membuat perekonomian berfungsi secara efektif, khususnya jasa keuangan, telekomunikasi, transportasi, dan distribusi.
Meski disadari bahwa peran sektor jasa sangat krusial, tampaknya belum ada perhatian khusus dari berbagai pihak untuk mengembangkan sektor ini. Isu yang perlu mendapat perhatian adalah mengenai kualitas dan efisiensi sektor jasa. Kualitas dan efisiensi sektor jasa akan memengaruhi biaya menjalankan usaha, iklim investasi, penciptaan lapangan kerja, dan daya saing perekonomian Indonesia di kancah internasional.
Pengembangan sektor jasa memerlukan kerja sama seluruh pemangku kepentingan – pemerintah, swasta, dan akademisi – guna menciptakan pendekatan yang lebih strategik dan terintegrasi dalam meningkatkan efisiensi dan pertumbuhan sektor jasa di Indonesia. Diperlukan pula riset-riset ekonomi dan diskusi sebagai input dalam rangka penyusunan kebijakan dan regulasi yang mendukung berkembangnya sektor jasa.
Indonesia Services Dialogue (ISD) adalah sebuah forum bagi para pemangku kepentingan di sektor jasa, yaitu pemerintah, pengusaha, dan akademisi untuk mendiskusikan berbagai opsi reformasi untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan efisiensi sektor jasa Indonesia.

IRMAN GUSMAN : ITB Harus Mampu Melahirkan Pemimpin yang Dapat Menjawab Tantangan Globalisasi
Ketua DPD RI Irman
Gusman memberikan kuliah umum (stadium
general) dihadapan mahasiswa Institut Tehnologi Bandung, Jawa Barat pada
Rabu, 28 November 2012 bertajuk “Kepemimpinan
Nasional sebagai Variabel Penting dalam Menjawab Masa Depan Indonesia di Era
Demokratisasi dan Globalisasi”.
Irman Gusman akan
menekankan mengenai tantangan di era globalisasi saat ini. Menurutnya, kualitas
mahasiswa menjadi faktor penting agar mampu bersaing dalam era kompetisi
global, terutama dalam era teknologi informasi yang perkembangannya sangat
pesat.
“Kunci kesuksesan
masa depan ditentukan oleh kualitas sumber daya manusia saat ini. Dalam
kompetisi global, sumber kemakmuran suatu negara sudah tidak lagi ditentukan
oleh kekayaan alam yang melimpah, melainkan oleh kecerdasan (BRAIN), visi dan
mimipi-mimpi besar (DREAM), semangat pantang menyerah (SPIRIT), dan rasa
percaya pada kekuatan sendiri/kekuatan dalam negeri (CONFIDENCE)”, jelas Irman.
Lebih lanjut Irman
mengatakan banyak kasus di beberapa negara, terutama di kawasan Afrika yang
kekayaan alam melimpah namun tidak berbanding lurus dengan tingkat kemajuan dan
kesejahteraan. Malah negara yang kaya justru mengalami paradoks sumber daya
alam (the paradox of plenty) dimana
negara-negara yang kaya itu terjebak pada konflik dan kekerasan, seperti yang
terjadi di Pantai Gading (negara penghasil Kakao terbesar nomor satu di dunia),
Ghana, Nigeria, dan sebagainya.
“Fenomena paradoks
sumber daya alam biasanya disebabkan beberapa faktor, yakni salah manajemen
(salah kelola), praktek korupsi, dan rendahnya sumber daya manusia di negara
tersebut. Karena itu, salah satu kunci penting untuk memenangkan kompetisi masa
depan adalah semua anak bangsa harus memiliki kemampuan sumber daya manusia
yang unggul, karakter (jati diri), sekaligus juga penguasaan ilmu pengetahuan
dan teknologi”, tambahnya.
Untuk itu, sebagai
“Kampus Teknologi” ITB diharapkan mampu menjadi motor dan pioner untuk
memajukan teknologi di Indonesia karena teknologi telah menjadi bagian dari
kebutuhan manusia saat ini.
“Tugas Anda semua
sebagai mahasiswa ITB adalah bagaimana ke depan Anda semua serius dan
sungguh-sungguh dalam menggali ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi agar nantinya
menjadi bagian dari penentu kemajuan bangsa” ungkapnya.
Selain memberikan
kuliah umum di ITB, Ketua DPD RI Irman Gusman didampingi oleh Anggota DPD Jawa
Barat, Prof. Dr. Muh. Surya, Amang Syafruddin, Ella Giri Komala dan KH. Sofyan
Yahya juga melakukan kunjungan ke Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. ***

EIGHT UNMET PROMISES ON CLIMATE FINANCE: RICH NATIONS SCORE POORLY IN MOST DETAILED ANALYSIS TO DATE
The
most detailed analysis to date of how well rich nations have kept
promises to provide poorer ones with funds to tackle climate change was
released today. The research concludes that they have collectively
failed to fulfil eight substantive pledges.
Published
by the International Institute for Environment and Development — the
study comes as countries prepare for the latest round of
intergovernmental climate-change negotiations, which begin next week
in Doha.
The
wealthier nations promised in 2009 to provide developing countries with
US$30 billion by the end of 2012, and said this should be “new and
additional” finance balanced between support for adaptation
and mitigation activities. They made additional pledges about
transparency, governance and the need to help the most vulnerable
nations first.
But
so far, only US$23.6 billion of the US$30 billion promised has been
committed. And only 20 per cent of the fast start finance has been
allocated to projects that will help poor nations adapt to a changing
climate.
Less
than half of the fast start finance is in the form of grants. The rest
is loans, which means poor countries must repay with interest the costs
of adapting to a problem they have not caused.
And
rich nations have not provided enough transparent information to prove
that their contributions are really new and not just diverted from
existing aid budgets.
To
examine transparency in more detail, the researchers evaluated donor
nations across 24 measures. On the resulting scorecard, no donor nation
scored more than 67 per cent.
“Without
transparency about how and when rich countries will meet their climate
finance pledges, developing countries are left unable to plan to
adequately address and respond to climate change,” says co-author
Timmons Roberts of Brown University in the United States, whose Climate
and Development Lab led the research.
David
Ciplet, also of Brown University, adds: “Only two of the ten donors we
assessed are delivering their fair share of climate finance, based on
their ability to pay and how much they have contributed
to climate change through emitting greenhouse gases in recent decades.”
On
these measures, Norway has performed best, providing five times its fair
share. At the other end of the scale, both Iceland and the United
States contributed less than half their fair share.
The
broken promises will make it harder for developing countries to take
seriously what richer nations say at the UN climate change talks, which
take place in Doha, Qatar from 26 November to 7 December.
One
way to restore trust would be for rich countries to channel their
climate finance through funds that the UN Framework Convention on
Climate Change set up as they have a governance structure with equal
representation from developed and developing nations. Also critical
will be to fulfil the US$30 billion promise by the end of the calendar
year, and to ensure that this money is delivered to support projects in a
timely manner.
This
is something that, in 2010, all rich countries agreed should be a
feature of funds through which they channel their climate finance. Yet,
so far, rich nations have channelled only two per cent of the
climate finance through these UNFCCC funds.
The
poor track record of rich nations in meeting their fast start finance
pledges has raised serious concerns that these countries will also
renege on their bigger promise to ensure that US$100 billion
flows to developing nations each year by 2020 to help them to respond
to climate change.
“With
trust in short supply, and little time to negotiate a global response
to climate change, the UN talks need an injection of goodwill,” says
Saleemul Huq of IIED. “The rich nations can provide this
by making good on their past promises and showing the poorer nations
that they are serious about working together to tackle this global
challenge.”

AUTO TROPHY 2012: Triple Success for BMW
| The new BMW 3 Series Sedan, Luxury Line (10/2011) |
“Auto Zeitung” readers vote for the new BMW 3 Series and the BMW 1 Series Convertible as their favourites. The BMW 5 Series print campaign wins the “Best Advertising” category.
Munich. In the "Auto Trophy 2012", the new
BMW 3 Series was chosen as the most popular mid-range automobile,
while the BMW 1 Series Convertible came out top in the
"Convertibles up to 30,000 euros" category. The "Best
Advertising" award also went to BMW - here readers of the
automobile magazine "Auto Zeitung" showed a clear preference
for the BMW 5 Series Touring campaign. The outstanding BMW result was
rounded off with numerous other top 3 placements for the BMW 5 Series,
the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé, the BMW 7 Series and the BMW X1.
The award ceremony for the "Auto Trophy 2012" was held yesterday at the Meilenwerk in Düsseldorf. Representing the Munich-based premium automobile manufacturer and there to receive the trophies presented by TV host Barbara Schöneberger and "Auto Zeitung" editor-in-chief Volker Koerdt were BMW AG Head of Development, Dr. Herbert Diess, and Ian Robertson, Head of BMW Sales and Marketing.
Class victory in the "Auto Trophy" is the second renowned award for the new BMW 3 Series within a very short period of time, coming just a few weeks after it received the "Golden Steering Wheel" from "Bild am Sonntag" and "Auto Bild". We presented the first BMW 3 Series in July 1975 - and the concept has remained unique ever since: a compact body featuring elegant design, powerful modern engines, classic rear-wheel drive and sporty suspension settings. Today's award is especially pleasing for us, confirming as it does that the new BMW 3 Series continues to perpetuate its success story in the model's sixth generation," said Dr. Herbert Diess, BMW AG Head of Development.
The new BMW 3 Series Sedan has been on sale worldwide since February 2012 and offers not only impressive athletic flair and efficiency as is typical of BMW but also a level of ride comfort and space which has been further optimised as compared to its predecessor model. Sporty, elegant lines and a re-interpretation of the characteristic front view give the BMW 3 Series an unmistakable appearance. The current model program includes five petrol and five diesel engine versions as well as the BMW ActiveHybrid 3. The intelligent all-wheel drive system xDrive is available for four models. The new BMW 3 Series Touring was also successfully launched in September. 31.4 per cent of "Auto Zeitung" readers voted for the BMW 3 Series as the top-ranking car in the mid-range category, putting it clearly ahead of the rest.
The BMW 1 Series Convertible established its lead in the "Convertibles up to 30,000 euros" category with a share of 22.5 per cent of votes cast. "We are very pleased to see that the BMW 1 Series Convertible has gone down so well with Auto Zeitung readers, now winning for the fourth time," said Dr. Diess.
The third award for "Best Advertising" was received by Ian Robertson, Head of BMW Sales and Marketing. This went to the BMW brand campaign "Dynamic performance starts in the mind". This cross-media campaign offers a novel interpretation of dynamic performance. Emotional visual worlds are presented to create a logical, harmonious connection between apparently contrasting themes. For BMW, dynamic performance means not just dynamic driving but also a dynamic and timeless way of thinking. The Munich-based creative agency Interone was responsible for the campaign, while the German print version was produced by Serviceplan, Hamburg.
The "Auto Trophy" was awarded for the 25th time this year. Over 110,000 "Auto Zeitung" readers took part in the vote, choosing their favourites from almost 400 current models in 30 categories.

Masyarakat Papua Desak Pemerintah Prioritaskan Pembentukan 3 Provinsi Baru di Papua

 |
| Ketua DPRD Papua Barat, Jimly D. Ijie, Ketua DPD RI Irman Gusman, Wakil Ketua DPD
RI GKR Hemas, Ketua DPRD Papua, Ketua Komite I Alirman Sori. |

Dalam Negeri Gamawan Fauzi, Ketua DPD RI Irman Gusman, Wakil Ketua DPD
RI GKR Hemas, Ketua DPRD Papua, Ketua Komite I Alirman Sori. |
LIPUTANSATU-Jakarta. Indonesia dapat menjadi
negara yang maju dengan memulai pembangunan dari kawasan Indonesia timur. Hal
ini di ungkapkan Ketua Senat (Dewan Perwakilan Daerah) Republik Indonesia Irman
Gusman saat beraudiensi dengan perwakilan masyarakat Papua dan Papua Barat, Dewan
Perwakilan Rakyat Papua (DPRP), Majelis Rakyat Papua (MRP), Gubernur Papua dan
Papua Barat, serta Menteri Dalam Negeri di Ruang GBHN Nusantara V, Komplek
MPR/DPR/DPD RI.
Irman mengatakan DPD RI terus
berusaha memperjuangkan keadilan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat Papua, serta
mendorong akselerasi pembangunan di tanah Papua diantaranya dengan mengusulkan
kepada Presiden SBY agar sisa anggaran 2011 yang berjumlah sekitar 20 triliun dianggarkan
untuk pembangunan kawasan Indonesia timur diantaranya Papua, Papua Barat, dan
NTT.
Pemekaran wilayah diakuinya
merupakan salah satu solusi untuk memajukan kawasan Indonesia Timur. Pembangunan
kawasan Indonesia Timur dapat dilakukan secara merata karena masing-masing
Provinsi yang dimekarkan dapat mengajukan anggaran unruk pembangunan daerahnya.
“Pemekaran Papua memang
memerlukan proses yang panjang, namun DPD akan tetap konsisten untuk
menindaklanjuti aspirasi pemekaran tersebut”, tegas Irman.
Dalam pertemuan tersebut, Ketua
DPRP John Ibo mengemukakan pemaparannya dengan pertanyaan utama, “Otonomi
Khusus untuk Siapa?”. Menurutnya selama ini aspirasi yang masuk ke DPRP sekitar
90% mengenai keluhan kondisi masyarakat Papua.
“Salah satu hambatan dalam pembangunan
masyarakat maupun pembangunan infrastruktur di tanah Papua adalah faktor
geografis dan keterisolasian wilayah. Oleh karenanya, muncul desakan untuk
memekarkan wilayah Papua” tutur John Ibo.
Menurut John, idealnya pembentukkan
provinsi di Papua dilakukan berdasarkan 7 wilayah adat, yang nantinya dapat
dibagi ke menjadi Provinsi Papua, Provinsi Papua Tengah, Provinsi Papua Utara,
Provinsi Papua Timur, Provinsi Selatan, Provinsi Papua Barat, dan Provinsi
Papua Barat Daya. Pemekaran tersebut akan dilakukan secara bertahap, dengan
memprioritaskan 3 provinsi untuk tahun 2013, yakni Provinsi Papua Tengah, Papua
Selatan, dan Papua Barat Daya.
Dilain pihak, Ketua Majelis
Rakyat Papua Timotius Murib menyesalkan bahwa selama ini banyak masyarakat
papua ‘lompat pagar’ ke pusat sehingga MRP tidak diberdayakan dengan baik.
Senada dengan Timotius, Ketua DPRD
Papua Barat, Jimmy D. Ijie menyayangkan hingga kini baik legislatif maupun pemerintah pusat tidak pernah terdengar
mengajukan usulan RUU pemekaran Provinsi Papua ataupun membuat grand design tanah
Papua ke depannya.
“Padahal, melihat luas wilayah
dan banyak suku di tanah Papua, sudah selayaknya dilakukan pemekaran guna
mencapai kesejahteraan masyarakat Papua. Masyarakt Papua harus dipertahankan
dengan jalan pemekaran”, kata Jimly.
Dalam audiensi tersebut, sejumlah
inisiator pemekaran wilayah Papua mengungkapkan bahwa pemekaran Papua bukanlah
keniscayaan. Diantaranya, Ketua Tim Pemekaran Provinsi Papua Barat Daya, Yosafat
Kambu mengatakan salah satu solusi permasalahan yang ada di Papua saat ini
adalah pemekaran wilayah.
Yosafat Kambu menyesalkan
kebijakan moratorium untuk pemekaran daerah. “Masyarakat Papua berharap
pemerintah dapat bertindak bijaksana dengan membuka peluang pemekaran untuk
wilayah Papua”, tegasnya.
Menanggapi hal tersebut, Menteri
Dalam Negeri Gamawan Fauzi mengatakan bagi pemerintah sangat penting untuk
mengetahui bahwa seluruh masyarakat Papua memiliki pandangan dan sikap yang
sama terhadap usulan pemekaran Provinsi Papua.
“Penting bagi pemerintah karena kalau
sikap masyarakat dibawah berdeda-beda, ada yang mendukung tapi ada juga yang
menolak, maka pemerintah akan serba salah”, jelas Gamawan.
Pemekaran harus diatur dalam
suatu mekanisme dan persyaratan tertentu, supaya tidak menimbulkan gonjang
ganjing dan tidak ada masyarakat Papua yang memprotes bahwa asprirasinya tdk
didengarkan.
“Pemekaran merupakan hipotesa
awal yang masih perlu pengkajian. Ketika pemekaran berhasil maka akan menjadi kesenangan utk
semuanya, tapi kalo tidak berhasil itu harus tanggung jawab bersama juga. Untuk
itu, diperlukan kajian yang mendalam agar jangan ada penyesalan dikemudian hari”,
tegasnya.
Tambahnya, saat ini pemerintah
tengah mengkaji dari berbagai aspek penataan wilayah Papua. Bahkan pemerintah
telah membuat grand design atas wilayah Papua.
“Kami telah siapklan grand design
atas pemekaran Papua hingga menjadi 5 Provinsi, namun hal itu masih memerlukan
kajian secara mendalam dari berbagai aspek”, ungkap Gamawan.(SP/D/RAC)

In the slipstream of the DTM winners: BMW M Performance at the
Essen Motor Show 2012.
BMW celebrates its triple triumph with a newly designed appearance at the international tuning fair – stand design in race track style – tyre change contest using original DTM equipment - world premiere of the new BMW 3 Series Touring with BMW M Performance accessories.
Munich/Essen. Just a few weeks after the triple triumph at the German Touring Car Masters (DTM), the BMW appearance at the Essen Motor Show 2012 is inspired by the brand's sensationally successful comeback season. The current BMW M Performance range is presented at the international tuning fair, celebrating the success of BMW in the driver, team and manufacturer rankings. The retrofit products from the program of Original BMW Accessories perfectly exemplify the intensive transfer of technology from motor racing. The range of products from the areas of drive, suspension, aerodynamics and cockpit is currently being extended to other BMW models. At the Essen Motor Show from December 1st - 9th 2012, visitors will be able to see the world premiere of the BMW M Performance accessories for the new BMW 3 Series Touring (available from April 2013). There will also be an attractive program of activities to create DTM atmosphere and motor racing flair at the exhibition stand, which covers a surface area of approximately 480 square metres. For example trade fair visitors will be able to take part in the "Pit Stop Challenge", demonstrating their tyre-changing skills on a DTM racing car or be able to obtain BMW DTM driver’s original signatures at one of the autograph sessions.
"BMW M Performance accessories create a link between our cars on the race track and the sporty BMW serial production models," says DTM driver Martin Tomcyzk. As the driver of the BMW M Performance Accessories DTM for the BMW Team RMG, the 2011 DTM champion contributed to the overall victory of BMW in the manufacturer rankings. BMW M Performance products are created specifically for each model and produced in close collaboration with BMW M GmbH. This means that BMW drivers who are racing enthusiasts and especially value high performance are able to profit from longstanding experience and race-winning expertise when they opt for a BMW M Performance product. What is more, the BMW M Performance range is characterised by authentic design and uncompromising premium quality.
The breadth of this program of products offering finest performance at first hand is due to be extended as of spring 2013. The Essen Motor Show 2012 will feature the first display of retrofit products designed for the new BMW 3 Series Touring. For example, the BMW 320d Touring on show will be fitted with a BMW M Performance Power Kit, which increases the peak output of the 2.0 litre diesel engine from 135 kW/184 bhp to 147 kW/200 bhp. In addition, the five-door model has a BMW M Performance suspension with a particularly sporty set-up as well as a BMW M Performance brake system. The 20-inch M Performance light alloy wheels of the Touring model feature a double-spoke design and the bi-colour look in Ferric Grey typical of BMW M Performance with burnished spoke fronts. Meanwhile the interior of the BMW 3 Series Touring also has a touch of racing flair to supplement the model-specific BMW M Performance exterior components. The range here includes a BMW M Performance sports steering wheel with Race Display, BMW M Performance stainless steel pedals, interior strips in Alcantara and carbon and numerous other interior components finished in carbon. In the latter, a new, open-pore type of carbon is used featuring a matt structure which perfectly matches the Alcantara surfaces.
The BMW 320d Touring fitted with BMW M Performance products is literally presented right on the ideal line at the Essen show. For the first time, the exhibition area is designed in the style of a race track with the models on display occupying their positions on a left-right chicane complete with painstakingly recreated curbs. In addition to the new BMW 125i there is also a BMW 120d of the predecessor generation, a BMW 535i Sedan and a BMW M3 Coupé - all featuring the maximum scope of BMW M Performance products.
There will also be a BMW M3 DTM positioned in the "pit lane" of the trade fair stand. This vehicle will be used for the "Pit Stop Challenge" - a competition in which participants have to change tyres as quickly as possibly using original DTM team equipment. The racing workshop character of the exhibition area is further enhanced by numerous exhibitions which show technical details of the BMW M Performance components. There is also an interactive configurator which provides a precise overview of the range of products available for each specific model. Meanwhile the current product program is available at the BMW Accessories and Lifestyle Shop at attractive trade fair rates. Visitors to the Essen Motor Show can also obtain a voucher which gives them reductions on accessory products purchased from participating BMW dealerships and service partners.
The BMW appearance at the Essen Motor Show 2012 continues the brand's involvement in this event as started last year with a wide range of new attractions. Racing-inspired accessories for BMW models turned out to be highly popular among fans of sporty and individual automobiles last year. Once again this year, the Essen Exhibition Centre will be an international meeting point for exhibitors and visitors who share a passion for motor racing. The organisers are expecting some 340,000 visitors to the fair, which will be held for the 45th time.

At the Essen Motor Show from December 1st - 9th 2012, visitors will be able to see the world premiere of the BMW M Performance accessories for the new BMW 3 Series Touring (available from April 2013). There will also be an attractive program of activities to create DTM atmosphere and motor racing flair at the exhibition stand, which covers a surface area of approximately 480 square metres. For example trade fair visitors will be able to take part in the "Pit Stop Challenge", demonstrating their tyre-changing skills on a DTM racing car or be able to obtain BMW DTM driver’s original signatures at one of the autograph sessions.
"BMW M Performance accessories create a link between our cars on the race track and the sporty BMW serial production models," says DTM driver Martin Tomcyzk. As the driver of the BMW M Performance Accessories DTM for the BMW Team RMG, the 2011 DTM champion contributed to the overall victory of BMW in the manufacturer rankings. BMW M Performance products are created specifically for each model and produced in close collaboration with BMW M GmbH. This means that BMW drivers who are racing enthusiasts and especially value high performance are able to profit from longstanding experience and race-winning expertise when they opt for a BMW M Performance product. What is more, the BMW M Performance range is characterised by authentic design and uncompromising premium quality.
The breadth of this program of products offering finest performance at first hand is due to be extended as of spring 2013. The Essen Motor Show 2012 will feature the first display of retrofit products designed for the new BMW 3 Series Touring. For example, the BMW 320d Touring on show will be fitted with a BMW M Performance Power Kit, which increases the peak output of the 2.0 litre diesel engine from 135 kW/184 bhp to 147 kW/200 bhp. In addition, the five-door model has a BMW M Performance suspension with a particularly sporty set-up as well as a BMW M Performance brake system. The 20-inch M Performance light alloy wheels of the Touring model feature a double-spoke design and the bi-colour look in Ferric Grey typical of BMW M Performance with burnished spoke fronts. Meanwhile the interior of the BMW 3 Series Touring also has a touch of racing flair to supplement the model-specific BMW M Performance exterior components. The range here includes a BMW M Performance sports steering wheel with Race Display, BMW M Performance stainless steel pedals, interior strips in Alcantara and carbon and numerous other interior components finished in carbon. In the latter, a new, open-pore type of carbon is used featuring a matt structure which perfectly matches the Alcantara surfaces.
The BMW 320d Touring fitted with BMW M Performance products is literally presented right on the ideal line at the Essen show. For the first time, the exhibition area is designed in the style of a race track with the models on display occupying their positions on a left-right chicane complete with painstakingly recreated curbs. In addition to the new BMW 125i there is also a BMW 120d of the predecessor generation, a BMW 535i Sedan and a BMW M3 Coupé - all featuring the maximum scope of BMW M Performance products.
There will also be a BMW M3 DTM positioned in the "pit lane" of the trade fair stand. This vehicle will be used for the "Pit Stop Challenge" - a competition in which participants have to change tyres as quickly as possibly using original DTM team equipment. The racing workshop character of the exhibition area is further enhanced by numerous exhibitions which show technical details of the BMW M Performance components. There is also an interactive configurator which provides a precise overview of the range of products available for each specific model. Meanwhile the current product program is available at the BMW Accessories and Lifestyle Shop at attractive trade fair rates. Visitors to the Essen Motor Show can also obtain a voucher which gives them reductions on accessory products purchased from participating BMW dealerships and service partners.
The BMW appearance at the Essen Motor Show 2012 continues the brand's involvement in this event as started last year with a wide range of new attractions. Racing-inspired accessories for BMW models turned out to be highly popular among fans of sporty and individual automobiles last year. Once again this year, the Essen Exhibition Centre will be an international meeting point for exhibitors and visitors who share a passion for motor racing. The organisers are expecting some 340,000 visitors to the fair, which will be held for the 45th time.
