SEMARANG ,16 Oktober 2017 07:47:17– Presiden RI Joko Widodo berpesan agar pelaksanaan Pilkada Serentak 2018 mendatang jangan sampai memecah belah masyarakat. Karena itu, pemetaan terhadapan area rawan konflik harus diantisipasi sejak ini.
Menteri Dalam Negeri (Mendagri) Tjahjo Kumolo mengatakan, pasangan calon yang maju pada pilkada nanti juga harus memberikan edukasi positif kepada publik. Misal dengan kampanye adu program dan hindari ujaran kebencian, apalagi fitnah.
“Jangan kampanye yang mengumbar isu SARA (suku agama ras dan antargolongan), tapi bagaimana menyusun program yang baik untuk masyarakat,” kata Tjahjo di Semarang pada Rakornas Camat Kamis kemarin.
Kemudian, para pasangan calon, kata dia juga harus komitmen dengan proses demokrasi ini. Artinya, mereka harus menjunjung tinggi kontestasi politik dengan siap menang dan kalah. Bila merasa dirugikan, maka ikuti mekanisme hukum.
Ia juga menyinggung soal tindakan anarkis yang dilakukan oleh oknum warga Tolikara yang diduga menjadi pendukung pasangan calon kalah pilkada di kabupaten tersebut, merupakan luapan emosi ‘salah alamat’.
“Tapi jangan pelampiasannya terus ‘menampar’ Kemendagri. Soal dia nuntut keadilan, ya itu ke KPU, ke Bawaslu, ke MK. Ini kan mekanisme hukum yang harus dipahami,” ujar dia.
Terkait potensi kerawanan Pilkada, Menurut Tjahjo, untuk antisipasinya, semua pihak harus bersinergi menjaga kondusifitas daerah. Bukan hanya peran pemda, penyelenggara pemilu dan Polri, namun juga parpol, pasangan calon dan timses.
“Saya yakin, KPU, Bawaslu, Kepolisian, BIN dan pemda sudah petakan, masing-masing daerah mana yang bisa timbulkan kerawanan,” ujar Tjahjo.
JAKARTA , 16 Oct 2017-Presiden Joko Widodo didampingi Wakil Presiden Jusuf Kalla, Menko PMK Puan Maharani, Menpora Imam Nahrawai, dan Ketua Penyelenggara Asian Games ke-18 (INASGOC) Erick Thohir menerima delegasi Dewan Olimpiade Asia atau Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) yang dipimpin oleh Syekh Ahmad Al Fahad Al Sabah, di Istana Merdeka, Jakarta, Senin pagi.
Menko PMK Puan Mahrani menjelaskan, pertemuan Presiden Jokowi dengan delegasi OCA itu membahas kesiapan Indonesia sebagai tuan rumah Pesta Olahraga Negara-Negara Asia (Asian Games) ke-18 pada Oktober 2018 mendatang.
“Kita meminta atau diminta juga untuk bisa meningkatkan prestasi berkaitan dengan Asian Games ke depan,” kata Puan seraya menambahkan, bahwa Asian Games ke-18 itu merupakan sukses penyelenggaraan, juga sukses opening closing, tetapi yang penting lagi adalah merupakan sukses prestasi, dimana Indonesia bisa meningkatkan prestasinya.
Indonesia, lanjut Menko PMK Puan Maharani, meminta Presiden OCA agar bisa ikut mempromosikan penyelenggaraan Asian Games 2018 ke dunia internasional, karena Syekh Ahmad Al Fahad Al Sabah yang berasal dari Kuwait itu juga sering bepergian dan bertemu dengan dunia internasional.
“Jadi memang yang diperlukan adalah bagaimana kemudian khususnya ke-45 negara yang nanti akan hadir atau ikut serta dalam Asian Games, untuk bisa berperan serta, dan tentu saja turut serta menyukseskan Asian Games 2018,” ujar Puan.
Pemerintah, jelas Menko PMK, berharap agar Asian Games 2018 yang digelar di Jakarta dan Palembang semua sukses bisa dicapai. Ya sukses prestasi, sukses penyelenggaraan, dan tentu saja sukses administrasi. Terlebih, Indonesia juga berkeinginan pada tahun 2023 bisa menjadi salah satu host dalam World Basketball bersama Filipina dan Jepang.
“Hal-hal tersebut yang memang dibicarakan oleh Presiden, dan tentu saja Presiden OCA mendukung hal tersebut, dan berharap bahwa ini merupakan suatu hal yang dilakukan lagi oleh Indonesia setelah tahun 1962,” terang Puan.
Presiden OCA, lanjut Puan, menyampaikan rasa optimismenya terhadap persiapan penyelenggaraan Asian Games 2018 di Indonesia. Mereka berjanji akan datang lagi nanti tahun depan untuk melihat hal-hal yang sudah dilakukan pemerintah Indonesia. “Tapi sampai saat ini Insha Allah tidak ada hal yang menjadi permasalahan,” ujarnya.
Persiapan Jadi tuan rumah Sudah Asian Games 2018 sudah on the track
Menurut Menko PMK Puan Maharani, dalam pertemuan dengan Presiden Jokowi itu, delegasi OCA menilai bahwa langkah yang dilakukan pemerintah dalam mempersiapkan diri menjadi tuan rumah Asian Games 2018 sudah on the track, sudah dalam hal yang benar dalam pelaksanaannya.
“Beliau (Syekh Ahmad) juga menyampaikan bahwa dari kamar hotelnya melihat pelaksanaan rehabilitasi di Gelora Bung Karno sudah sesuai dilakukan, dan sepertinya dijalankan selama 24 jam. Beliau tidak menyangka bahwa semua yang dilakukan Indonesia itu bisa sesuai dengan apa yang ditargetkan,” kata Puan.
Ia menambahkan, sesuai laporan dari Kementerian PUPR pembangunan venue di Jakabaring, Palembang, Insha Allah awal Januari sudah selesai semuanya. Bahkan Jakabaring pun sudah melakukan tes event di Palembang.
“Untuk tes event yang ada di Indonesia, atau di Jakarta nanti akan dilakukan pada bulan Januari, itu badminton, kemudian bulan Februari akan dilakukan 9 cabang olah raga yang lain untuk tes event,” papar Menko PMK.
Jadi, tegas Puan, sampai saat ini target dari venue-venue yang ada sudah sesuai dengan targetnya, dan insya Allah Januari- Februari tes event untuk Asian Games udah bisa dilakukan. “Jadi ya semuanya on the track dan sesuai dengan target yang kita realisasikan,” tegas Puan.
Ditambahkan Menko PMK, bahwa untuk penyelenggaraan Asian Games 18 yang akan dilaksanakan Agustus 2018 itu, dibutuhkan kurang lebih 13 ribu volunteer. Sementara sampai saat ini sudah mendaftar 30.000 orang, dan akan pakai kurang lebih 2.000 untuk tes event.
Former 250 World Champion to line up in the premier class on home turf with EG 0,0 Marc VDS
Tags MotoGP, 2017, MOTUL GRAND PRIX OF JAPAN, Hiroshi Aoyama, EG 0,0 Marc VDS
Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS will field two former intermediate class World Champions at the Japanese Grand Prix, with HRC test and development rider Hiroshi Aoyama joining Tito Rabat in the team as a replacement for the injured Jack Miller. Aoyama was crowned World Champion in 2009, the final year of the 250cc two-stroke machines, and the Japanese rider has extensive MotoGP™ experience, having raced four full seasons since making his debut in the premier class back in 2010. Since 2015 the 35-year-old Japanese rider has been an HRC test rider and heavily involved in the development of the Honda RC213V he’ll race this weekend in Motegi on home soil.
Hiroshi Aoyama: “Firstly I want to wish Jack a speedy recovery and I hope he will be fit to race in his home Grand Prix at Phillip Island. It’s never nice to replace an injured rider but I hope that I can do a good job for both Jack and the team in Motegi. I also want to thank Michael Bartholemy and Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS for giving me the opportunity to race once again in front of the Japanese fans. I have not raced yet this season, so it will take some time to get back the feeling. The fact that I already know a lot of the crew, having worked with them in the past, will help a lot, as will having a rider with Tito’s experience on the other side of the box. I am looking forward to the weekend ahead!”
Michael Bartholemy, Team Principal: “Firstly I’d like to say a big thank you to Hiroshi for stepping in at the last minute to replace Jack in Motegi and to HRC for arranging everything at such short notice. I am looking forward to welcoming Hiroshi into the team this weekend. It won’t be completely new for him, as he’s worked with many of our technical staff previously, so we start already from a good position. I am sure he will do a good job for us this weekend and I hope he enjoys this opportunity to race once again in front of his home crowd.”

“Trump Takes Agenda of Change to the United Nations”
– Farnaz Fassihi and Eli Stokols, The Wall Street Journal
Farnaz Fassihi and Eli Stokols of the Wall Street Journal write about President Trump’s comments to the United Nations, focusing on the President’s belief in the “tremendous potential” the U.N. has to become more effective and influential. The article states President Trump wants the organization to “focus more on people and less on bureaucracy,” and is dedicated to a variety of institutional overhauls. A U.S.-drafted 10-point document titled “U.N. Reform Declaration” asks countries to “commit to reducing mandate duplication, redundancy, and overlap including among the main organs of the United Nations,” and encourages U.N. Secretary General Guterres to “pursue impactful and field-centric management reforms,” Fassihi and Stokols report.
The Daily Signal outlines several of the reforms that U.S. officials have said President Trump will be pushing at the U.N. General Assembly, saying he will “focus on ensuring that other countries take a more equitable burden to ensure international security, to demand greater accountability of U.N. officials, and to reduce the budget by eliminating duplication.”
Regarding tax reform, Chris Edwards writes in USA Today “if the GOP focuses on pro-growth tax changes, we shouldn’t worry about the short-term hit to the deficit,” as the corporate tax rate cuts in countries like Canada and Britain show that a more competitive tax code will benefit America in the long run. Edwards states that over time, with a corporate tax rate cut, companies would “build more U.S. factories, bring foreign profits back home, and evade taxes less.”
In Obamacare news, The Washington Free Beacon reports that “next year, average benchmark premiums for Obamacare plans are expected to rise 15 percent more than they did this year, according to projections from the Congressional Budget Office.”
On Graham-Cassidy and the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, The Atlantic’s Russell Berman reports that the new GOP bill is gaining momentum as the White House has reengaged Republicans in an effort to guarantee a simple majority win before the September 30th deadline.
Andrew Kreighbaum of Inside Higher Ed reports on the appointment of Johnathan Holifield as executive director of the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This announcement comes amidst the President’s ongoing meetings with key leaders and students from historically black colleges as a part of the HBCU Week Conference, Kreighbaum writes.

Why South Koreans would stand up to the North, By Peter Ward
The Republic of Korea would not simply roll over in the event of a U.S. withdrawal
North Korea is rapidly developing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that will, one day soon, be capable of hitting the continental United States. There is talk in certain quarters that the North may use this potential to force the U.S. to choose between Seoul and San Francisco, and if pressed, the Trump administration, or the one them.

Germany is struggling to shut down a hostel funding North Korea. The hostel is fighting back.

China Orders North Korean Businesses to Close (Voice of America) China has ordered all North Korean-owned businesses in the country to close by early January.

It is expected to sharply limit the flow of money to North Korea.
China’s commerce ministry said that North Korean companies — including joint operations with Chinese companies –must close within 120 days of September 11.

The case for brinksmanship with North Korea (Washington Post) Trump’s threats against Pyongyang may actually work. “There may be a method to the apparent madness in Trump’s approach, even if he has not done a coherent job of explaining it.

China and Russia’s Dangerous Entente (Wall Street Journal)Beijing and Moscow have developed a good-cop/bad-cop routine that will frustrate efforts against North Korea. “The budding partnership between these two great powers—who were riven for decades by high levels of mistrust—is a natural response to the adversity and confrontation in the U.S.-Russian relationship…
