BANJIR bencana Ulah siapa

Banjir dan asap jadi langganan


Dimusim kemarau kita dapat petaka berupa kekeringan dan kebakaran hutan yang berdampak timbulnya kabut asap . Kabut asap tersebut sangat merugikan masyarakat seoperti terganggunya berbagai aktifitas dan kecelakaan transportasi. Selain itu,kabut asap juga menggangu kesehatan dengan banyaknya penderita penyakit radang pernapasan,infeksi saluran pernapasan akut (ISPA).

Namun,ketika musim kemarau berakhir dan disambut musim hujan petaka baru datang lagi, yaitu banjir dan tanah longsor.Masyarakat menjadi korban dan mengungsi didalam tenda-tenda darurat.Seperti korban banjir bandang di Aceh Tamiang (NAD) dan hampir seluruh wilayah di Sumatera.Dan dikalimantan Selatan,Kabupaten Tabalong, Balangan,Tanah laut hingga Hulu Sungai utara(Amuntai) dilanda banjir . Kini banjir juga menggenangi hampir seluruh ibukota Jakarta.Berbagai kegiatan atau aktifitas jadi terhenti.Jumlah kerugian harta dan benda sudah tidak terhitung lagi jumlahnya.Lalu bagaimana ini bisa terjadi? Adakah musim yang aman?

Apakah langkah kita bersama pemerintah dalam upaya menanggulangi banjir tidak ada? Kiranya untuk menjawab itu ada baiknya kita melihat kembali kebijakan pemerintah di sektor hulu.Yaitu upaya melestarikan hutan yang ada didaerah hulu yang akan berfungsi sebagai daerah resapan air jika terjadi hujan .

Kalau itu yang jadi ukuran maka masih dirasakan kurang ,sebab kerusakan hutan disektor hulu terus terjadi.Contoh banjir kiriman yang dialami Jakarta, lebih diakibatkan rusaknya hutan daerah puncak sebagai akibat dari perambahan hutan untuk pembangunan Hotel dan tempat pemukiman yang kurang memperhatikan dampak lingkungan.Dan kita juga tidak menutup mata ,kalau sebagian dari warga masyarakat juga punya andil dalam hal ini misalnya,dengan membuang sampah kesungai atau parit yang kemudian berakibat tersumbatnya aliran air hingga banjir lebih cepat terjadi.keadaan ini diperparah oleh curah hujan yang memang cukup tinggi.

Melihat kenyataan , bahwa baik di musim hujan ataupun di musim kemarau kita selalu kena petaka,musibah atau apapun namanya kenapa kita tidak menjadi lebih arif dan bijaksana dalam usaha mencegah atau mengantisipasinya?Disetiap musim kita selalu didera petaka tentu ada sesuatu yang salah atau keliru dengan tata kelola (governance) hutan.dalam Bencana pada musim kemarau, kemudian disambut lagi bencana dimusim hujan , seperti seekor keledai yang lepas dari mulut singa tapi disambut lagi oleh mulut buaya.Jika ini terjadi setiap tahun,tentu keledai akan habis dan binasa.Tetapi kita bukan keledai,sebab kita punya langkah antisipasinya namun masih banyak yang belum jalan atau masih jalan ditempat.

Menurut laporan dari badan Meteorologi dan Geofisika beberapa waktu lalu, bahwa hujan yang mengakibatkan banjir banding dan tanah longsor di sebagian besar wilayah sumatera lebih diakibat rusak/gundulnya hutan.Hal tersebut berdasarkan catatan mereka yang menyatakan bahwa curah hujan masih dalam batas normal.Pernyataan ini kemudian diperkuat oleh Wapres Yusuf kalla dan menteri Kehutanan MS. Kaban yang dilansir oleh berbagai media,baik cetak maupun elektronik.

Jika memang jelas sudah kerusakan hutan yang menjadi penyebab,maka ada baiknya kita terus memperbaiki tata kelola hutan yang kelihatan semrawut dan tidak terkendali pembabatannya.Aparat pemerintah mulai dari Presiden mengakui bahwa illegal logging /penebangan liar sangat besar pengaruhnya dalam kerusakan hutan.Kemudian itu Hutan yang semestinya jadi tempat resapan air yang kemudian dengan alami dan teratur mengalirkannya menuju anak-anak sungai hingga kelaut.

.

Kita perlu juga memperjelas bahwa kerusakan hutan tidak hanya diakibatkan oleh penebangan liar /illegal logging tetapi yang legalpun punya konstribusi seperti pemberian ijin pembabatan hutan untuk industri perkebunan serta untuk pertambangan.Bahkan izin ini sampai merambah kawasan hutan lindung seperti Perpu no 1 tahun 2004.

Seperti kita ketahui dalam jangka pendek pertambangan sangat bermanfaat bagi pendapatan nasional kita.Ia juga menyerap banyak angkatan kerja ,tetapi ia juga membabat hutan untuk kepentingan pertambangannya, sehingga kerusakan hutan juga tak bisa dihindari. Dalam jangka panjang hal tersebut juga membahayakan. Disini perlu perhatian dan kearifan kita semua dalam upaya menanggulangi dampaknya, terutama dengan sangat memperhatikan reklamasi dan reboisasi .Dan yang tak kalah penting didalam menambang mematuhi peraturan –peraturan, misalnya batas kedalaman sehingga tidak melewati batas permukaan laut.

Ini juga pernah disampaikan oleh Shirato Syafei dalam editorialnya di majalah Indonesia Corp.edisi 13 tahun 2004. .

Kerusakan hutan kian tahun terus berkurang secara kwantitas karena pemerintah kelihatannya agak lumayan dalam upaya menanggulangi.Ini disebabkan operasi hutan lestari yang digelar pemerintah.Tetapi yang jelas dan pasti adalah hutan yang dirusak kini hampir tidak ada lagi .

Kita berharap Rencana pemerintah yang akan membentuk badan yang akan mengelola dana 9,7 triliun rupiah Seperti yang diberitakan Metro TV lewat running teks- nya untuk reboisasi berjalan lancar dan tidak menjadi dana untuk orang yang bermental korup .Dengan begitu hutan dapat diperbaiki dan dampak dari kerusakannya seperti banjir dan tanah longsor dapat ditekan seminimal mungkin.

Lepas dari semua itu adalah perlunya penegakan hukum yang sangat kuat dan tegas bagi mereka yang melakukan pembalakan liar ,pembakaran hutan .Dan jangan kita hanya berwacana saja.

Dalam upaya penegakan hukum hendaknya pemerintah tidak terjadi tebang pilih,tetapi tegas dan seperti yang duungkapkan Menteri kehutanan MS kaban,bahwa para perusak hutan itu seperti teroris,sebab mereka tidak peduli jumlah korban atau kerugian yang ditimbulkannya.

Kalau penulis malah menganggap para pelaku kerusakan hutan baik yang ditebang atau dibakar sebagai hama yang perlu dibasmi sampai keakar-akarnya,sebab hama tidak punya rasa kemanusiaan dan kepedulian akan dampak merugikan yang mereka timbulkan. Jadi Untuk membasmi nya tidak perlu menggunakan hati tapi dengan tindakan yang sangat tegas.Yaitu dengan membuat para aparat penegak hukum seperti Predator yang kokoh dan kuat dengan payung hukum yang ia miliki.Dengan demikian kita harapkan para pelaku jadi jera dan hutan tetap lestari,kebakaran hutan dan kabut asap beserta banjir dapat dihindari.

BERSIHAR LUBIS menghina KEJAKSAAN ?

MENGHINA/TERHINA/PENGHINAAN , BENAR ATAU BETUL

Apa betul ya pak Bersihar itu menghina.kejaksaan spt yg diberitakan !!?
kalau ia dianggap menghina apa betul-betul terhina pihak yang MERASA DIHINA. kIRANYA ADA YANG TAK TERIMA DENGA TULISANNYA YANG BERJUDUL "KISAH INTEROGATOR DUNGU"MEMBUAT PIHAK KEJAKSAAN KEPANASAN.
Ia didakwa pasal 207 KUHP tentang pencemaran tertulis terhadap penguasa dan badan umum di indonesia dan pasal 316 yo 310 ayat (1) KUHP,karena telah menghina instansi Kejaksaan Agung.Hal ini membuktikan kebebasan pers memang tidak bebas.Tidak mengherankan jika Indonesia hanya memduduki peringkat ke-100 dalam hal kebebasan pers seperti yang telah dilansir olehkumpulan jurnalis di perancis beberapa waktu lalu.
kenapa merasa dihina?apakah tulisan itu menyebarkan fitnah?sebab tidak didukung fakta..yg valid atau cuma ingin meredam kebebasan pers yg bisa membahayakan org atau lembaga

Terlepas dari itu semua kebebasan pers harus dan terus kita perjuangkan sebab ia menjadi kontrol terhadap pemerintah atau kekuasaan.Tapi kita juga harus hati-hati dalam menulis sebab bila kurang didukung fakta bisa berakibat fitnah atu pencemaran nama baik dll ....

Biography of President George W. Bush


George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States. He was sworn into office on January 20, 2001, re-elected on November 2, 2004, and sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2005. Prior to his Presidency, President Bush served for 6 years as the 46th Governor of the State of Texas, where he earned a reputation for bipartisanship and as a compassionate conservative who shaped public policy based on the principles of limited government, personal responsibility, strong families, and local control.

President Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, and grew up in Midland and Houston, Texas. He received a bachelor’s degree in history from Yale University in 1968, and then served as an F-102 fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. President Bush received a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School in 1975. Following graduation, he moved back to Midland and began a career in the energy business. After working on his father’s successful 1988 Presidential campaign, President Bush assembled the group of partners who purchased the Texas Rangers baseball franchise in 1989. On November 8, 1994, President Bush was elected Governor of Texas. He became the first Governor in Texas history to be elected to consecutive 4-year terms when he was re-elected on November 3, 1998.

Since becoming President of the United States in 2001, President Bush has worked with the Congress to create an ownership society and build a future of security, prosperity, and opportunity for all Americans. He signed into law tax relief that helps workers keep more of their hard-earned money, as well as the most comprehensive education reforms in a generation, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. This legislation is ushering in a new era of accountability, flexibility, local control, and more choices for parents, affirming our Nation’s fundamental belief in the promise of every child. President Bush has also worked to improve healthcare and modernize Medicare, providing the first-ever prescription drug benefit for seniors; increase homeownership, especially among minorities; conserve our environment; and increase military strength, pay, and benefits. Because President Bush believes the strength of America lies in the hearts and souls of our citizens, he has supported programs that encourage individuals to help their neighbors in need.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked our Nation. Since then, President Bush has taken unprecedented steps to protect our homeland and create a world free from terror. He is grateful for the service and sacrifice of our brave men and women in uniform and their families. The President is confident that by helping build free and prosperous societies, our Nation and our friends and allies will succeed in making America more secure and the world more peaceful.

President Bush is married to Laura Welch Bush, a former teacher and librarian, and they have twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna. The Bush family also includes two dogs, Barney and Miss Beazley, and a cat, Willie.

As an undergraduate at Wellesley College, Hillary mixed academic excellence with school government. Speaking at graduation, she said, "The challenge now is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible."

In 1969, Hillary entered Yale Law School, where she served on the Board of Editors of Yale Law Review and Social Action, interned with children's advocate Marian Wright Edelman, and met Bill Clinton. The President often recalls how they met in the library when she strode up to him and said, "If you're going to keep staring at me, I might as well introduce myself." The two were soon inseparable--partners in moot court, political campaigns, and matters of the heart.

After graduation, Hillary advised the Children's Defense Fund in Cambridge and joined the impeachment inquiry staff advising the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives. After completing those responsibilities, she "followed her heart to Arkansas," where Bill had begun his political career.

They married in 1975. She joined the faculty of the University of Arkansas Law School in 1975 and the Rose Law Firm in 1976. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the board of the Legal Services Corporation, and Bill Clinton became governor of Arkansas. Their daughter, Chelsea, was born in 1980.

Hillary served as Arkansas's First Lady for 12 years, balancing family, law, and public service. She chaired the Arkansas Educational Standards Committee, co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, and served on the boards of the Arkansas Children's Hospital, Legal Services, and the Children's Defense Fund.

As the nation's First Lady, Hillary continued to balance public service with private life. Her active role began in 1993 when the President asked her to chair the Task Force on National Health Care Reform. She continued to be a leading advocate for expanding health insurance coverage, ensuring children are properly immunized, and raising public awareness of health issues. She wrote a weekly newspaper column entitled "Talking It Over," which focused on her experiences as First Lady and her observations of women, children, and families she has met around the world. Her 1996 book It Takes a Village and Other Lessons Children Teach Us was a best seller, and she received a Grammy Award for her recording of it.

As First Lady, her public involvement with many activities sometimes led to controversy. Undeterred by critics, Hillary won many admirers for her staunch support for women around the world and her commitment to children's issues.

She was elected United States Senator from New York on November 7, 2000. She is the first First Lady elected to the United States Senate and the first woman elected statewide in New York.

BIOGRAPHY FIDEL CASTRO

RIWAYAT HIDUP SINGKAT SANG MAESTRO POLITIK AMERIKA LATIN/CUBA,PENCIPTA PERANG DINGIN......


Fidel Castro (Ruz) (1926-)

Cuban revolutionary, prime minister (1959- ), and president (1976- ).

Fidel Castro was born on August 13, 1926, near Birán, Cuba. One of five children, he showed an interested in history and military matters growing up. Castro studied law in Havana and became involved with a revolutionary group at the university.

In 1953 Castro was imprisoned after an unsuccessful rising against Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. He was later released under an amnesty. He went to Mexico and spent time in the United States to prepare for second attempt to overthrow Batista. Castro returned to Cuba in 1956 by boat with a small band of insurgents. In 1958 he mounted a full-scale attack and Batista fled the country in January 1959.

Castro took power in early 1959. As prime minister he set about far-reaching reforms. Castro ended U.S. economic dominance of the island and stopped the U.S.-supported émigré invasion at the Bay of Pigs (1961). Castro changed Cuba into the first communist nation in the Western Hemisphere and aligned himself with the Soviet Union. The country became reliant on Soviet aid, which caused economic hardship when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.

Beginning the late 1990s, the state of Castro's health became a subject of much discussion. While numerous health problems had been reported over the years, the most significant news came on the night of July 31, 2006. A letter from Castro was read on Cuban television announcing that Raul Castro, Fidel's brother, would be the country's leader temporarily. Fidel had surgery for gastrointestinal bleeding. During the recovery period, Raul would serve as Cuba's president. Raul had been Fidel's second in command for many years and had officially been selected as Fidel's successor in 1997. Since his surgery, the public has only seen him in photographs or video footage meeting allies.

Castro has led the country for more than four decades. He has been credited with making some improvements in education and healthcare, but the Cuban people still face food shortages, economic hardship, and little personal freedom. A strict ruler, Castro has been known for quieting anyone who criticizes his government and has imprisoned or killed numerous opponents.
