Kontroversi Corby bermula ketika Pembela Corby menuntut Corby Bebas Murni karena konon, tanpa setahu Corby, Narkoba seberat 4,2 Kg tsb diselundupkan ke dlm tas bawaan Corby. Sementara Pengadilan RI menyatakan Corby Bersalah dan memutuskan Hukuman Penjara 20 Tahun utk Corby. Pembela Corby lalu membuat Buku dan Film Tragedi Corby dan menekan Aussie Govt. So far, hasilnya adalah Grasi dan BebasBersyarat utk Corby..yg karenanya SBY hrs rela menerima Kritik dan Makian dari Rakyatnya.

OPINI TERBARU

In The Jakarta Posts Outlook 2014, Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, current deputy defense minister, wrote an interesting piece entitled Asymmetric warfare, a clear and present threat (27/01). By explicating asymmetric warfare, Sjafrie tries to inform and to some degree convince readers that threats to national security are no longer adequately seen in a military way per se, e.g. from foreign attack. We also have to deploy huge resources to deter the growing threat to the states ideology, politics, economy and socioculture. Lets take a look at security threats in the ideological, political and economic fields. There are radicalism, decay of moral values and national ethics, and communal conflict in the ideological field; anarchy or rebellions, coups dtat or attacks on vital installations in the category of politics. Threats in the economic field are financial crime, transnational crime, energy scarcity, corruption and money laundering. Looking at Sjafries list in a retrospective way, surprisingly we could not locate neoliberalism as one of the security threats in the ideological, political or economical fields. Why do I say surprisingly? Because neoliberalism was the central theme of the speech delivered by the Indonesian Military (TNI) commander Gen. Moeldoko in early February. In front of the chief of the National Police, clerics and community leaders, Moeldoko displayed no hesitancy in condemning neoliberalism and the domination of foreign companies in the public sector because these had endangered the Indonesian people and state.

Some have expressed disagreement at Moeldokos statement, not because of the content or substance of the speech (nowadays everybody associates themselves with progressive or anti-neolib policies at least verbally), but because an active military man should not speak about politics. According to the Law on TNI, active military personnel should not engage in day-to-day politics. Talking about neoliberalism, which is considered a politico-economic issue, is not the sort of public gesture that we expect from high-ranking military officers. Reading the statement in a different way, Moeldokos statement is somehow a reflection of the obscurity of threat assessment in Indonesia, an old issue that has been criticized by civil society for example in the case of the draft bill on national security but its progress remains static. The executive and legislative branches tend to put everything into one basket; from territorial encroachment by foreign military forces to poverty, ignorance [kebodohan], corruption, but dont provide clear definitions and guidance as to how all these issues should be handled in a professional, manageable as well as an accountable way. We think we do know what the problems are, but we simply dont know how to solve them. In a democratic state, this kind of situation is dangerous. A murky and carte blanche definition in the regulation of the security sector is the perfect ingredient for abuses of power. Moreover, to express his or her opinion or deep resentment about something is an inalienable right of every Indonesian citizen. But, Moeldoko is not an ordinary citizen; he is the chief of the TNI. Everything he says must be scrutinized, and can be interpreted as the official position of the government. If the state really considers neoliberalism as a threat to national security i.e. it endangers the social cohesion and territorial integrity of Republic of Indonesia, then there should be a systematic approach to halt its dissemination and practice. We could take the case of the political left as an example. Since 1965 until now, the state has prohibited the dissemination, education or practice of the political left or Marxism. Systematic policy, propaganda and apparatus were deployed by the state to repress the political left. During the New Order era the existence of the Command for the Restoration of Security and Order (Kopkamtib) later becoming the Coordinating Body for Assisting in the Maintenance of National Stability (Bakorstanas) was dedicated to supporting the totalitarian ambition of the Soeharto regime, by conducting surveillance, political intervention, ideological management and terror against the political left and any political power outside the regime (Tanter, 1991). While in the Reformasi era, we can still find the same approach toward the political left. The latest Indonesian Defense White Paper, which was published over six years ago, states that communism is a potential threat to Indonesia. Moreover, recently book discussions on Tan Malaka, one of the Indonesian national heroes and founder of the Indonesian Republic Party (PARI), were banned in Semarang and Surabaya.

Budisan's Blog: Does neoliberalism constitute a national threat

Kurban Pelangi Dalam Bencana Dari Komunikasi Hingga ke Dewan Revolusi Kemana Arah Pembangunan Kita? [Bukan] KPPN No.1 Jafung "Bendahara", Kemandirian, dan Profesionalitas JFPP dan Pengelola Perbendaharaan yang Profesional Sosialisasi SPAN ala Budisan Menyiasati Rekonsiliasi Antara Data SAU dan Data SAI

Nonetheless, it must be emphasized here that I am not suggesting the physical and cultural persecution of neoliberalism as happened to the left in Indonesia. What I am trying to explain is how the national security threat is always political in nature. It depends on ever-changing national interests and regime survival. Describing a particular situation or ideology as dangerous or threatening is a serious business, and it risks affecting Indonesian society in general. Having said all the above, we could demand that Moeldoko walk the talk, or probably he could make recommendations to the President to declare that neoliberalism is a national threat. If there is no active and deliberate action, all negative sentiment toward neoliberalism is merely a matter of lip service. However, I am afraid that is the case, because it was Moeldoko himself who last year wholeheartedly said that the TNI would protect foreign investment in Indonesia.
