The Rot Within OUTGOING acting KPK Chairman Taufiequrachman Ruki leaves behind a legacy of broken promises and a weakened anti-graft institution. In one year, he has given in to the pressures of the Police and the Attorney-General’s Offi ce and demoralized the once-vibrant crusading spirit of activist investigators and prosecutors. Is it true that he only reports to the all-powerful Coordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security, Luhut Pandjaitan? Economy: Soekarno-Hatta Airport Expansion STATE-OWNED Angkasa Pura II is revamping major airports under its management. One priority will be the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, which services Jakarta and neighboring provinces. Built to accomodate 22 million travelers a year, today it must cater to some 60 million people. The plan calls for a revamp of air traffi c control mechanisms, the infrastructure and public facilities. Can Angkasa Pura II do the job? Outreach: Local Wisdom And Disaster Management AT least four villages in Riau, Sumatra, have not been impacted by the forest fi res in 2015, which were recorded as one of the biggest in Indonesia. They are Tanjung Leban, Sepahat, Buruk Bakul and Sungai Pakning, villages applying local wisdom handed down from their forefathers to prevent peatlands from drying out and triggering forest fires. The ways are varied, from digging canals and rainwater catchments to boring wells and making use of endemic plants. Their success has been acknowledged, and they have been named as model villages in managing forest fi res. Tempo English reports from Bengkalis in Riau.
