Indonesian Cloud gandeng Dell garap UKM

Rabu, 26 Oktober 2011 22:46 WIB Jakarta (ANTARA News) - PT Indonesian Cloud menggandeng perusahaan penyedia perangkat dan solusi teknologi DELL untuk menyediakan layanan "cloud computing" atau komputasi awan untuk menggarap pasar usaha kecil dan menengah. "Kolaborasi dengan DELL menyediakan layanan "Public Cloud" dan "Private Cloud" bagi UKM mulai memasuki masa komersial pada 2012," kata Direktur Utama Indonesian Cloud Teguh Prasetya di Jakarta, Rabu. Teguh menargetkan sebanyak 150.000 UKM akan menjadi mitra pengguna layanan cloud. Indonesian Cloud yang dimiliki TRG Investama ini sebelumnya menggandeng Institut Teknologi Bandung untuk melakukan riset tentang konten spesifik berkaitan dengan cloud computing dengan investasi mencapai sekitar Rp10 miliar. Teguh menambahkan pasar komputasi awan untuk UKM terbuka lebar karena bisa menekan jumlah karyawan yang mengurusi teknologi informasi. "Mereka tidak ada waktu untuk mengurusi TI secara maksimal. Nantinya kami akan tawarkan "Platform as Services", "Software as services", dan "Infrastructure as services" untuk meningkatkan daya saingnya," katanya. Layanan Cloud Computing terbagi atas tiga jenis yaitu Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) dan Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Sifat jangkauan layanan cloud computing terbagi menjadi Public Cloud, Private Cloud dan Hybrid Cloud. Sementara itu Service Engagement Manager DELL Indonesia Arwinto Nugroho mengungkapkan kerja sama dengan penyedia layanan cloud (cloud provider) lokal ini adalah dalam bentuk konsultasi serta penyediaan hardware dan software. "DELL telah beraliansi dengan banyak cloud provider. Kami bukan pemain baru di bisnis ini. Bahkan dalam waktu dekat ada mini cloud hasil kerja sama dengan Kemnakertrans yang memudahkan pencari kerja meng-update portfolio kerja melalui balai-balai kerja di Indonesia," katanya. Senada itu Marketing Director DELL Indonesia Arif Darmawan memperkirakan pasar private cloud di Indonesia akan tumbuh pesat dalam kurun waktu satu hingga dua tahun mendatang, sedangkan public cloud baru akan tumbuh pesat lima tahun mendatang. "Ini karena momentum dan adopsi virtualisasi sangat cepat di perusahaan-perusahaan besar di Indonesia. Bagi perusahaan, komputasi awan harus dijalankan karena ini suatu perjalanan dari evolusi. DELL siap memaksimalkan kesempatan ini bagi layanan komputasi awan yang dimilikinya," katanya. Komputasi awan adalah layanan teknologi informasi yang bisa dimanfaatkan atau diakses oleh pelanggannya melalui jaringan internet. Namun tidak semua layanan di internet bisa dikategorikan sebagai komputasi awan, setidaknya beberapa syarat harus dipenuhi, antara lain pengguna dapat berlangganan hanya yang dibutuhkan dan membayar hanya untuk yang mereka gunakan.

Manchester United Batal Jual Saham di Asia

Liputan6.com, Jakarta: Manchester United dikabarkan membatalkan rencananya untuk mencatatkan sahamnya di bursa Asia dan beralih ke bursa saham di Amerika Serikat. Menurut sumber yang dikutip dari Reuters, Kamis (14/6), awalnya klub sepakbola asal Inggris tersebut berencana untuk menjual saham perdana (Initial Public Offering atau IPO) ) di Hong Kong. Setelah itu berpindah lagi untuk IPO senilai US$ 1 miliar di Singapura dan kembali batal karena pasar keuangan tengah guncang. Hingga kini, pihak MU enggan berkomentar soal rencana IPO tersebut. MU saat ini dimiliki oleh keluarga pengusaha asal AS, yaitu Glazer. Rencananya, tiga perusahaan yang akan menangani IPO MU ini adalah Credit Suisse, JP Morgan, dan Morgan Stanley. Namun, entah bagaimana kelanjutannya saat ini. Soal rencana IPO di AS, Forbes pernah membuat survei, MU bakal mendapatkan nilai penjualan saham yang tinggi di Negara Adidaya itu. Tidak seperti klub sepakbola lainnya di Inggris, MU dinilai sangat menguntungkan karena sering memenangkan kejuaraan. MU dikabarkan memiliki penggemar sebanyak 659 juta orang hingga kini. Klub ini sangat komersil, terbukti dengan kontrak iklan besar dengan General Motors sebagai sponsor utama. Namun, para bankir sangat skeptis dengan rencana MU melakukan IPO di AS. Apalagi, di tengah kondisi pasar saham yang belum stabil. "Ini merupakan tindakan yang berani dari MU untuk IPO di AS. Semoga mereka sukses," ujar salah seorang bankir di Asia. Sebenarnya, rencana MU untuk IPO di Singapura sangat berpotensi untuk menarik investor ritel seperti di Indonesia yang memiliki banyak fans MU. Apalagi, penjualan merchandise MU di Asia sangat besar selama ini. Bisa saja MU mencatatkan sahamnya di dua tempat atau dual listing, yaitu di Singapura dan AS.

Viral marketing

Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. It can be word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet.[1] Viral promotions may take the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, ebooks, brandable software, images, or even text messages. The basic form of viral marketing is not infinitely sustainable.

The goal of marketers interested in creating successful viral marketing programs is to identify individuals with high Social Networking Potential (SNP) and create Viral Messages that appeal to this segment of the population and have a high probability of being passed along.

The term "viral marketing" is also sometimes used pejoratively to refer to stealth marketing campaigns[2]—the use of varied kinds of astroturfing both online and offline to create the impression of spontaneous word of mouth enthusiasm

E. Kalimantan, S. Sulawesi share karate gold

East Kalimantan and South Sulawesi took two gold medals each in the karate event at the National Games on Sunday, with six golds up for grabs at the Balikpapan Sports and Convention Hall.

In the final of the women's over-60-kilogram bout, home favorite Atik Wahyuningsih overpowered South Sulawesi's Wiwik Pertiwi to claim victory.

Imas Nurhayati from West Java and Mardiah Nasution from West Sumatra, who failed to live up to her top billing after winning bronze at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar, took bronze.

Cheered on by a near-capacity crowd, East Kalimantan added to its medal tally when Ade Bagus beat East Java's M. Hasan Basri in the final of the men's 65-kilogram contest.

North Sumatra's Jintar Simanjuntak and Jakarta's M. Nur Fajar settled for bronze after losing in the semifinals.

The South Sulawesi karate team, led by 2007 Southeast Asian Games champion Ismail Aswar, reigned in the men's 70-kilogram individual and team competitions.

Ismail outclassed Bali's I Ketut Murti in the final, with bronze going to Billi Maulana S. from East Java and Risky Syahbana from West Java.

Ismail then teamed up with Faizal Zainuddin and Fidelys Lolobua to clinch gold in the team event. Jakarta's Angga Firmala, Dennies Ibrahim Sari and Fery Maradona took silver, while East Java's Adhe Rengga Drestian, Bambang Muchpriyanto and Harison Panghitung Situmorang shared the bronze medal with West Java's Erwin Ramdani, Fransiskus and Sutiawan.

"I am really happy I could deliver two gold medals today," Ismail told The Jakarta Post.

The West Java women's team won the team event, with Alit Tresna, Dewi Yulianti and Tuli Ekayanti outclassing their opponents.

The losing finalists were East Java's Indriana P., Staphanie Dewi and Tinne Novita. Desak Made Asmarawati, Gusti Agung Maharani and Ni Luh Sumadiani from Bali shared third place with Ririn Krisnasari S., Sulhadrah and Tri Wulan Mei S. from South Sulawesi.

The final event of the day was the women's under-60-kilogram event, in which Central Java's Puspita Triana Gustin defeated Meilina from South Sumatra.

Semifinalists Tantri Widya Sari from North Sumatera and Puspa Meonk from Jakarta won bronze.

SO FAR SO GOOD

Again … tengger-bromo-semeru national park

astonishing and gorgeous mountaineous range
just located on my backyard
everytime i turn my head
whenever try to go away
i can see the way she’s waving me
asking me to be back
time by time
moment by moment
enchanting me
since i was a kid
by its caldera
oh the holy Sang Hyang Widi Wasa
so peaceful standing on its foothills

Mount Bromo is situated on east Java, and we can find this beautiful sand mountain range from Probolinggo, Malang or Pasuruan (approximately hundred kilometres from Surabaya). On the way to the top, you can find the nice mountain flower called Edelweiss. And for my own, it can be so special because my first name ‘Ukirsari’ (taken from Sanskrit lingo) means ‘mountain flower’ also — it means Edelweiss too :)

Majority, people’s religion at Bromo are Hindu. They’re celebrates a traditional annual ceremony called ‘Kasodo’ [or Kasada]. They’re preparing food, vegetables and cattles then put them down to the crater of Bromo as a sign to say thanks for the Gods.



This habit taken from a legend called ‘Roro Anteng and Joko Seger’. The story is about a couple (Roro Anteng and Joko Seger) who got married several years but not yet have a child. They’re praying everyday on Bromo, and the Gods finally giving them 12 kids! With a notification; they have to give the youngest kid for the Gods in the crater. And since then, Bromo people celebrating Kasodo.

Beside put the cattles, vegetables and food in the crater, the Hindu priests also celebrates annual meeting on the centre of the desert. They’re show their ability and make it just like a ‘fighting’, so I called this place as a battle field.

Well, you can have that pretty beautiful scenery on sunrise from view point of Gunung Penanjakan

Speaking about this Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park, the whole of this area simply known as Mount Bromo. But in fact, there are three mountains in the caldera [known as Tengger Massif], a volcanic landscape with Gunung Bromo, Batok and Kursi laying on its flat sea of lava sand. Then further south of them is Mahameru, or Semeru. A sacred mountain in Hinduism, and known as the mother of Gunung [mount] Agung in Bali, also the highest mountain in Java

Kelimutu's three colors trilogy

Located some 60 kilometers to the east of Ende, Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, are three lakes of three different colors that are collectively known as the Kelimutu Lakes.
To get to the lakes, tourists must travel about two hours overland from Ende to the parking area of Kelimutu National Park and from there walk for about 30 minutes through casuarina trees to reach the crater.
Scientists continue to puzzle over the colors of the lakes, which are situated about 1,690 meters above sea level, because they change over time. Before 2006, the lakes were red, blue and white. Now, the red lake is black-brown, the blue lake is light green and the white lake is black.
The black-brown lake and the light green lake are located side-by-side, separated only by a wall of earth that is 100-200 centimeters thick.
Locals believe the light green lake is a gathering place for the spirits of young men and women (tiwu nua murifai); the black-brown lake, for evil sprits (tiwu ata polo); and the black lake, which is located some 200 meters away, for the spirits of old people (tiwu ata mbupu).
When I arrived at the lakes at 6:30 a.m. in the last week of February, the view of the black lake was obscured by a mist that did not disappear until almost 45 minutes later.
Is it the mineral content of the lakes' standing waters that is responsible for their color? Or is it their algae content? Scientists have yet to draw a conclusion.
The Kelimutu Lakes were discovered by Van Such Telen, a Dutchman, in 1915, although locals may have known about them earlier.
On Feb. 26, 1992, the government declared the Kelimutu area -- measuring 1,051,000 square meters -- a national park.
Locals believe Mount Kelimutu is haunted by ghosts who are friendly if they are left undisturbed and it is customary for them to make offerings at a location called Perikonde, the gateway for the spirits wishing to go to Kelimutu.
To fully enjoy the mountain in all its beauty, tourists, visitors and researchers must work hard to get to the top of the mountain before 9 a.m., because from early to late afternoon, mist will once again obscure the view.
I left from Ende at about 3:30 a.m. in a car chartered for Rp 500,000. However, there is another option: you can spend the night in Kampung Moni, which is located about three kilometers away from the Kelimutu Lakes.
In this village, you can stay in wooden huts that are managed by the local administration. The cost is about Rp 100,000 a night. Alternatively, if you are on a limited budget but would like to spend a few days in Kelimutu, you can stay in a homestay for Rp 50,000-75,000 a night.
Tourists can also enjoy the beautiful maiden forests of pine, fir, redwood and edeilweiss.
Tourist look at ikat (woven clotch) produced by local artisans. (JP/Yemris Fointuna)
In Kelimutu, locals sell traditional snacks and main meals, with beef, bananas and corn featuring heavily on the menu. At night, a glass of moke, an alcoholic beverage created from the sap of the palm tree, warms the cockles of the heart.
Ende souvenirs include woven fabrics bearing motifs that are peculiar to the district. Prices range from 40,000 for a scarf to 300,000 for a sarong.
Souvenir seller Sisilia Sita, 53, said tourist numbers peaked between April and October. The mother of three also sells snacks and coffee in the parking area.

Belitung: A Sumatra Neverland

We touched down in Belitung with a thud, followed by cheers.

I looked out the window of the plane, it was raining really hard. It didn't seem like the right time to be in Belitung.

Bangka Belitung is a province in southern Sumatra that comprises two main islands separated by a five-hour ferry ride, and a number of smaller islands.

We were waiting for friends to arrive from Bangka. They'd booked their tickets to Belitung through a travel agent in Jakarta who'd apparently thought Belitung and Bangka were the same place.

So, when they'd arrived in Bangka the night before and confidently asked for directions to our hotel, the locals told them there was no hotel called that in Bangka. My friends showed them the scrap of paper with the hotel's address on it, and the locals answered in unison, "Oh, it says here that the hotel is in Belitung, Pak -- this is Bangka! It's a five-hour ferry ride to Belitung." Oh yeah? Very good.

Andrea and Belitung

We'd developed a sudden craving for gangan or fish-head casserole, a Tanjung Tinggi speciality, and by the time our friends arrived we were starving. There's a word in Belitung, kempungan, which is used to describe the bad luck that follows indulging in a "guilty" pleasure. But still we went in search of gangan.

'Ponpes' strive to improve education for women

The quality of education today for Muslim women is being continuously improved upon these tenets of Islamic education. The teaching of both Islam and sciences are considered very important, particularly in the face of contemporary challenges.

Despite the greater number of professional women who are advocating better education for their peers in the country, the domestic role of women in guiding their children's learning still seems to remain the primary reason for improvement.

"Children rarely, if ever, turn to their fathers first about something. They are more likely to ask their mothers first. This is because they are closer to their mothers and see her every day," the chairman of the Al Rifa'ie Ponpes foundation, Ahmad Muflih Azam, told The Jakarta Post.

Some educators of a particular segment have responded to the need by providing a broader educational opportunity for Muslim girls.

One such individual is K.H. Achmad Zamachsyari, who set up in 1992 a modern pondok pesantren (ponpes) for female students.

The Al Rifa'ie Islamic boarding school in Gondanglegi district, Malang regency, aims to educate its students to develop their command of technology, to be proficient in foreign languages, to become high achievers and to develop a noble character. At present, it has 734 female students who come from 18 provinces.

Muflih rejected the prevailing assumption that ponpes were "backward"; he believes that the stigma of ponpes as a marginalized educational institution is no longer relevant.

"That might have been the case during the colonial era, when santri (Islamic students) had no opportunities for formal schooling. Now we have equal opportunity, and ponpes often provide a more complete syllabus, particularly with regard to religious education," he said.

The Al Rifa'ie ponpes achieves this balance between academics and religion by combining formal secondary school curricula with religious education provided at its Madrasah Murottilil Qur'an Al Rifa'ie (MMQA) and Madrasah Diniyah Al Rifa'ie (MDA).

The MMQA provides Koranic studies that lead towards a teaching certificate while the MDA follows the government-approved Islamic/ponpes curriculum, which has been developed further with the Lirboyo-Jombang, the Gontor-Ponorogo and other regional ponpes.

In addition, Al Rifa'ie offers its santri creative skills courses such as culinary management, fashion design and crafts during its 18-hour school day. It also has classes in modern languages, journalism, shariah banking, social sciences, computer sciences, multimedia technology and the life sciences.

"There's no discrimination in Islam. Men and women have the same educational opportunities," said Muflih.

Another all-girls ponpes, Al Ishlahiyah, located in the district town of Singosari, provides religious classes on campus and sends its students to attend classes in academic subjects at other Islamic schools.

"Basically, our students study more salafiyah subjects on the Koran and the Hadith than those attending formal schools, including tauhid (Allah and His attributes), tazawuf (building character towards a divine union) and fiqh (Islamic law)," said Lathifah Mahfudz, the curriculum advisor at Al Ishlahiyah.

"That's the general advantage of ponpes over formal schooling. Instead of relying on formal subjects alone, ponpes offer more religious content, so its graduates will cultivate good character and serve as role models (in society). Most formal schools only have two hours of religious lessons a week," she added.

With about 350 santri, Al Ishlahiyah has more limited facilities compared to Albut the heads of the two ponpes agree that the central and regional governments needed to assume a greater role in supporting the development of Islamic schools. "... Apart from their considerable contributions (to national education) since the colonial era, ponpes can also act as a screen to filter out anti-religious influences on the younger generation," Muflih said.

A key area of support is human resources, which requires technical guidance and training as well as skills in curricular management to rais their competitiveness. Ponpes also need more quality science teachers, scholarship funds and modern facilities.

"So far, we haven't received any special government attention. Though a ponpes department has been established under the education ministry, its direct impact on schools is yet to be seen," Muflih said.

Lathifah is more critical in her views: "The government may have noticed that we have survived independently without aid, so perhaps it believes that ponpes will continue to exist (without support)."

Despite of the lack of government support, ponpes still try to accommodate disadvantaged students.

"At our institution, we give opportunities to those who cannot afford school expenses, as long as they are highly motivated to learn and to succeed," Lathifah said.

Aside from academic knowledge and skills, ponpes offer santri valuable experiences in developing a sense of solidarity, discipline, respect for teachers and elders, tolerance, ethics and financial management skills.

"Such experiences will be very useful at home and in (the students') future family life," she stressed.

East Java wins three gold on athletics opening day

East Java won three of six gold medals on offer on the opening day of the track and field competition at the National Games (PON) at Palaran Stadium in Samarinda on Monday.

Darwati won the first gold for East Java by winning the 20-kilometer walk in the morning. Lusi Febrianti and Eddy Zakaria accounted for the other two golds, in the women's high jump and men's 110-meter hurdles, respectively.

West Java, West Papua and Riau won the other three golds, while Central Java, North Sumatra, East Nusa Tenggara, Bangka Belitung and Papua all picked up silver and bronze medals.

Djoko Sudargo, chief of East Java's athletics team, expressed his pleasure with the results of the first day of the track and field competition, saying three golds was beyond their wildest expectations.

"I did not expect gold in the high jump. We were surprised that Lusi (Febriyanti) won it for us," Djoko said.

Lusi cleared 1.65 meters to finish ahead of West Java's Dewi Ika Puspita and Helam Nurul Ulfa.

In the women's 20-kilometer walk, Darwati finished in a time of one hour, 49 minutes and 33 seconds. Indonesian veteran Tersiana Riwu Rohi of East Nusa Tenggara finished in third place in a time of 1:57:55, behind Central Java's Risa Wijayanti (1:51:53).

East Java's third gold came late in the day, with Eddy Zakaria winning the men's 110-meter hurdles in 14.18 seconds. Zulkarnaen Purba of North Sumatra and Eddy's teammate, Rusli, finished second and third, respectively.

"This is the fruit of long training that started at the end of PON 2004. We are still counting on our veterans, but they were still be able to beat their younger rivals," Djoko said, adding that the team would be happy with another two medals in track and field.

A total of 46 gold medals are on offer in track and field.

In the men's 20-kilometer walk, Kristian L. Tobing of North Sumatra won in a time of 1:35:50. Sutrisno of Central Java followed in second in 1:37:51 and Andre Maulana of West Java finished third (1:37:55).

West Java's Dony Susanto won the men's long jump with a leap of 7.45 meters. Slamet Susanto of East Java and Asril of Bangka Belitung finished second and third with jumps of 7.29 and 7.18 meters, respectively.

The last gold on offer went to West Papua in the men's javelin, with Julius Morin taking the event with a throw of 67.01 meters. Agustinus Mahuse of Papua finished in second with 65.79 meters, and M. Rusmanto won bronze for Central Java with a throw of 63.80 meters.

The opening day of the track and field competition also saw preliminary heats in men's and women's 200 meters and 800 meters.

Olympic hopeful Suryo Agung Wibowo, who represents Central Java, is the favorite to win the men's 200 meters in Tuesday's final after finishing with the fastest qualifying time.

Irene Truitje Joseph, a past champ in the women's 100 meters, could only finish with the second-fastest qualifying time in the 200 meters, behind Dedeh Erawati. Both run for Jakarta.

"I'm not expecting to win the 200 meters. I'm concentrating on the 100 meters although Dedeh will still be the favorite along with Serafi (Anelis)," said the 29-year-old Irene, who is participating in her fourth PON since 1996. She won 100 meters gold at the 1999 Southeast Asian Games.

34 parties make the cut for 2009 polls

The 2009 legislative election will see 34 political parties vying for seats in the House of Representatives, after the General Elections Commission (KPU) passed 18 new parties after less than a month of factual verification.

Old faces will feature in next year's election, including former Indonesian Military commander Gen. (ret) Wiranto with his Hanura Party, Roy Janis with his Democratic Reform Party, Oesman Sapta with his Regional Unity Party and Yapto Soerjosumarsono with his Patriot Party.

Only 24 parties contested the election in 2004, down from 48 in the country's first democratic election in 1999.

Sixteen established parties automatically qualified for the election without verification as they already hold seats in the House, according to the new election law.

The 16 parties are the Golkar Party, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), the United Development Party (PPP), the Democratic Party, the National Mandate Party (PAN), the National Awakening Party (PKB), the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the Star Reform Party (PBR), the Prosperous Peace Party (PDS), the Crescent Star Party (PBB), the National Democratic United Party, the Pioneers' Party, the National Concerned Workers' Party, the Marhaenism Indonesian National Party, the Justice and United Indonesian Party and the Indonesian Democracy Upholders Party.

Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) member Wahidah Suaib said it was unfortunate the KPU had failed to simplify the political party system, which constitutes the spirit of the election law.

She said the number of parties contesting the 2009 polls would have fallen if the KPU had followed the regulations.

"If the KPU strictly enforced the rules, many more parties would not have made it to the election," she said.

"Many parties, for example, could not prove their real popular support in the form of their members' ID cards, but the KPU overlooked this."

Before the announcement of the parties eligible to run in the election, at least 10 members of the police bomb squad (Gegana) swept the KPU building and its surroundings for explosive devices while dozens of police officers guarded the front door and the building area.

Everyone -- including hundreds of journalists and party supporters -- were asked to wait outside the building during the security process.

Police also thoroughly checked all those wanting to enter the building.

Under the 2008 law on the legislative election, each party must have at least 50 members with chapters in at least 60 percent of the country's 33 provinces and branches in half of the 500 regencies.

The law also obliges parties to allocate 30 percent of their central board executive seats to women, and they must have at least 1,000 citizens as members.

About 174 million people will be eligible to vote in the legislative election, scheduled for April 9, 2009, but the KPU expects only 70 percent of them to turn out.

The campaign period will run from July 12 to April 5 next year and is divided into two stages. The first stage, from July 12 to March 17, is dedicated to indoor rallies, whereas the second phase, from March 18 to April 5, allows outdoor rallies.

The government has allocated Rp 6.667 trillion to fund the 2009 elections.

Muslim organizations should exercise retrain over Monas incident: Activist

Muslim organizations should exercise restrain from protesting for
the disbandment of the Islam Defenders' Front (FPI) over the
attacks at the National Monument (Monas), says Peaceful Alliance
Against Islam's Defilement coordinator.

Noer Muhammad Iskandar said Muslim organizations should not get
involved in the clamor for FPI's disbandment because the matter
was being legally settled by the appropriate authorities.

He said whether or not FPI should be dissolved was a matter
that only a court of law could decide.

"Physical or verbal conflicts among Muslims would only
disadvantage Muslims themselves," said Iskandar, who is also head
of the Asshiddiqiyyah Islamic Boarding School.

He said Ahmadiyah's dissolution would not be a violation of
religious freedom.

"Muslims' demand for the disbandment of the deviant Ahmadiyah
sect is not a violation of religion freedom because Ahmadiyah
has defiled Islamic teachings by recognizing Mirza Ghulan Ahmad
(Ahmadiyah's founder) as the last prophet, instead of the Prophet
Muhammad."

Iskandar urged the government to put an immediate end to the
controversy concerning Ahmadiyah by issuing a joint ministerial
decree on the sect's fate.
