Hukum yang Berjalan (Tugas Jurnalistik 5)

Jakarta - Bareskrim Polri telah menggelar perkara dugaan penistaan agama yang dilakukan gubernur non-aktif DKI Jakarta Basuki Tjahaja Purnama atau Ahok. Hasilnya, Bareskrim menetapkan Ahok sebagai tersangka kasus penistaan agama.

"Meskipun tidak bulat, perkara ini harus diselesaikan di peradilan yang terbuka. Konsekuensinya akan ditingkatkan ke proses penyidikan dengan menetapkan Basuki Tjahaja Purnama atau Ahok sebagai tersangka," kata Kabareskrim Polri Komjen Pol Ari Dono Sukmanto di Mabes Polri, Jakarta, Rabu (16/11/2016).

Dalam gelar perkara yang dilakukan Selasa, 15 November, hadir kedua pihak, yakni pihak pelapor maupun terlapor. Sejumlah pihak internal dan eksternal Polri juga turut hadir.

Ahli dari kedua pihak dan Polri saling mengungkapkan pendapatnya masing-masing, soal pernyataan Ahok yang menjadi penyebab kasus ini. Polri juga memutar video sambutan Ahok saat bertandang ke Kepulauan Seribu, Jakarta Utara.  

Usai gelar perkara kasus penistaan agama itu, penyelidik tidak dapat langsung menyimpulkan laporan pimpinan FPI Rizieq Shihab dan kawan-kawan tersebut, apakah pantas dilanjutkan ke tahap penyidikan atau tidak.

Semua pihak harus menghormati proses hukum dan instrospeksi diri atas kasus dugaan penistaan agama dituduhkan kepada Basuki Tjahaja Purnama. Polisi telah meningkatkan proses penyelidikan ke penyidikan dan menetapkan Gubernur DKI Jakarta itu sebagai tersangka.

Ahok menyatakan ikhlas atas penetapan statusnya dan tidak mengajukan praperadilan. Gabungan ormas mengeluarkan pernyataan sikap, salah satunya meminta para pihak menahan diri. Proses peningkatan status tersebut telah menguras waktu, energi, pikiran, dan berbagai hal yang tidak bisa dianggap ringan.

Mulutmu Harimaumu (Tugas Jurnalistik 4)

Pidato Gubernur Ahok di hadapan masyarakat Pulau Seribu, yang di antaranya mengaitkan dengan Surat Al Maidah Ayat 51, telah menjadi perhatian publik yang amat luas, khususnya di kalangan umat Islam. Saya berpendapat bahwa seorang pejabat publik dan pejabat negara, harus sensitif jika berbicara tentang agama, apalagi menyangkut kitab suci dan akidah yang diyakini oleh para pemeluknya. Terlebih jika kata-kata itu diucapkan oleh mereka yang berbeda iman dan agama. Pemimpin harus menjadi contoh dalam ucapan dan perilakunya. Dalam kehidupan bangsa yang amat majemuk ini, toleransi dan kerukunan antar umat beragama amat diperlukan. Bagaimanapun unsur identitas (sara) dalam kehidupan sosial dalam batas-batas tertentu masih merupakan isu yang rawan, karenanya, harus terus menerus dikelola dengan bijak.

Saya yakin bahwa Gubernur Ahok adalah orang yang cerdas, tapi akan lebih baik lagi jika beliau berhati-hati dalam berbicara.

GROUP TASK (TOURISM SOFTSKILL)

Okay, today we will talk about what Country, City and University that we will choose to study. First of all we are choosing Ireland as a country that we want to visit. And then Galway, Galway is a city in the West of Ireland in the province of Connacht. And the last, we are choosing the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) as a place that we want to study. There are some explainations about the country, city and university that we choose and the reasons of it. And also what kind of passport and visa that we need to go there.

IRELAND

Ireland, also described as the Republic of Ireland, is a sovereign state in north-western Europe occupying about five-sixths of the island of Ireland. The capital and largest city is Dublin, which is located on the eastern part of the island, and whose metropolitan area is home to around a third of the country's 4.75 million inhabitants. The state shares its only land border with Northern Ireland, a part of the United Kingdom. It is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the Celtic Sea to the south, Saint George's Channel to the south-east and the Irish Sea to the east.

GALWAY

Galway  is a city in the West of Ireland in the province of Connacht. Galway City Council is the local authority for the city. Galway lies on the River Corrib between Lough Corrib and Galway Bay and is surrounded by County Galway. It is the fourth most populous urban area in the Republic of Ireland and the sixth most populous city in the island of Ireland.
According to the 2011 Irish Census, Galway city has a population of 75,528; however, the rural county agglomeration is far bigger.
Galway will be European Capital of Culture in 2020, alongside Rijeka, Croatia.

Public Transportation
The main Public transportation in Ireland is Bus. Bus are budget-friendly transportation and convenient way to travel Ireland. Connections between the major towns are generally fast, frequent and reliable.in another hand there is railway but the choice of places to visit will be limited. Generally the railway will bring you to a central destination and from there you will have to rely on other modes of transport. More than likely buses. Add the fact that Irish railways are not known for either cheap fares or luxury and bus travel becomes a sensible option in many cases.

But on longer journeys the train may be better value for money - travel times are usually shorter than on a bus, there are toilets on board and you can stretch your legs by walking about a bit.

National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG)

The university was founded in 1845 as Queen's College, Galway, and was more recently known as University College, Galway (U.C.G.). It is divided into several colleges including the College of Arts, Social Science and Celtic Studies, the College Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, the College of Business, Public Policy and Law, the College of Science and the College of Engineering and Informatics. The university has an enrollment of 16000 (2010).

In our group, for degree we choose Bachelor of Art (BA), School of Languages, Literatures & Cultures and for the major is Major of Classics. So what kind of study that we can learn in Classics ?

The Major of Classics in NUIG will introduce you to some of the oldest (and newest) ways of answering such fundamental questions as ‘What makes us human beings?’  Classics in this university takes on that challenge by orienting ourselves first from ancient Greece and Rome and then broadening the scope, moving back into prehistory and forwards towards the rise of Christian Europe and the Middle Ages, including the place of Ireland in this international process.

There are three basic themes in this study:

1. Literature and thought
2. Art and archaeology
3. Languages and texts

This terms of study will take three years to finished our study.

The Reasons

Why we choose Ireland and Galway to study ? there are some reasons why we choose it. The first one is because Ireland is a countru full of fresh air and outdoor lifestyles with breathtaking svenery, its a great place to study or live for a short terms. Ireland is one of the attractive country because of the nature and the society. And becuse Irish is rich a heritage in arts and literartures, plenty of literary works was created in there and we can study the background of a literary works in there, so this is the right place to study literature and culture in there. And also because Ireland is one of the best education systems in the world for higher education achievements.

Why we choose the National University of Ireland (NUI) as a place to study ? Because NUI Galway offers a welcoming and supportive environment to help students adjusts university life in Ireland such as visa and immigration advice, counselling and career development. And NUI Galway is ranked among the top 2 per cent of universitie in the world. Galway is known as Ireland's Cultural Heart because of that NUI is the perfect place for everyone who wants to study about literature and culture.

What kind of passport and visa do we need to go there ? As a student who wants to study abroad of course we need some documents like pasport and visa. So what kind of passport and visa do we need ? For the passport we only need the common passport because our purpose is to study not to conduct travel on diplomatic assignment or mission. And for the visa we need Limited-stay Visa because as a student our purpose is to finished our study in that country. So we need to stay for a while in that country thats why we need the Limited-stay Visa.

In our group, we decided to choose British Airways as an airline to go to Ireland and it will transit two times, the first transit is in Hongkong International Airport. Because Hongkong is free visa for Indonesian so we don’t need Visit Visa. And the second transit is in London Heathrow. In London as long as we don’t get out from the airport and as long as we stay in there less from 24 hours we don’t need the Visit Visa.

INDIVIDUAL TASK (TOURISM SOFTSKILL)

Diplomacy

A diplomat is someone who is appointed by a nation state to represent and protect that nation's interests abroad. The four ranks of diplomats are determined by international law, and include ambassadors, envoys, ministers, and charge d'affaires. In modern diplomacy there are a number of ranks below ambassador. These ranks now rarely show a mission's importance, but rather show the diplomat's seniority within their own nation's diplomatic career ladder. This modern ranking system follows a similar, but not exactly parallel, pattern in different countries, and is as follows:

• Ambassador (High Commissioner in Commonwealth missions); Ambassador at large
• Minister
• Minister-Counselor
• Counselor
• First Secretary
• Second Secretary
• Third Secretary
• Attache
• Assistant Attache

What does a diplomat do?

-Relationship Building

One of the primary functions of a diplomat is to build and improve relations with his foreign host country. In this role, a diplomat offers guidance to his host country on topics that affect the well-being of the people and governments of both countries. He also works to resolve disagreements between his home and host countries and negotiates solutions to political and social differences. He accomplishes these tasks by connecting with leaders and decision-makers in both governments and local community leaders and members.

-Reporting and Policy

A diplomat creates detailed, factual reports about his observations and thoughts regarding his developments in his host country that affect his home country's interests. They may become part of recommendations to his government about how it should act to further its interests and respond to changes in the world. For example, federal departments in the United States focused on economic, labor, scientific, military, safety, health, environment, agriculture, social and other areas use these reports to develop foreign and domestic policies, draft agreements for trade or investments and handle legal issues that can occur abroad.

 -Consular Services

In the host country, a diplomat provides general and emergency support to citizens traveling or living abroad, and foreign nationals interested in learning more about, visiting or moving to his home country. General services might include providing document notarization support, citizen voting-in-absentia and tax filing assistance and foreign national visa issuance and relocation information and help. Emergency services might include issuing hazardous region warnings, assisting with and coordinating citizen evacuations, providing financial aid or re-issuing travel documents to citizens experiencing hardship abroad, helping with missing, abducted or deceased citizen cases and resolving requests for asylum from foreign nationals.

-Media and Publicity

A diplomat also serves as the representative of his country and uses his public exposure and status to promote his host country’s interests and policies by interacting with foreign and domestic media entities. He might speak with his government about developments in his host country or the world as they arise and issue statements on his country’s behalf to the press. He might also invite the media to join him at social functions. He could coordinate and hold online events between representatives of his home and host countries and invite members of the media and citizens of both countries to observe and interact.
