(BNN) Secretary Insp. Gen. Bambang Abimanyu said Monday that
Indonesia had as many as 3.6 million recorded drug users, around
two percent of the countrys popu-lation, in 2008. However, Bam-bang
admitted that the data did not reveal the actual number of drug
users in the country.
With an estimated of 3.2 million drug users in 2004, the gure
showed that around 100,000 people start consum-ing drugs each year,
said Bam-bang. "The increasing number of new users has made
Indo-nesia a potential market for international drug dealers,"
Bambang said as quoted by kompas.com.

More Power To Support Indonesian Economy Source :

JAKARTA - Indonesia aims to increase its electricity capacity to
15,000 megawatts this year to sup-port its economic growth target
of 7 percent by 2014, a senior minister says. "The 15,000 MW
capacity can be achieved through construction of new power plants,"
Coordinating Minister for the Economy Hatta Rad-jasa told.
Hatta said that adequate power supply would help boost economic
growth and increase competitive
edge of the countrys industrial prod-ucts in the world market.
The extra supply of electricity would keep state power producer
from rotating black-outs.
"There would be no longer rotating blackouts throughout the
country starting in June," he said as quoted by Antara. He said the
government's middle term target was to overcome power shortage in
2012-2013. As many people wait anxiously for that moment to come,
most will face regular blackouts though, just like it used to be
for decades.

EDITORIAL
3Issue #06 - 3 May 2010 - BuGils bi-Weekly
I have nothing against Indians, but Ive always wondered why they
wobble their heads so often.
In our bars we sell Indian food, so we have a lot of Indian
customers. I enjoy observing the wobble an Indian makes from the
moment they order, till the moment they pay their bill. I want to
understand it, but I cannot. In the process of choosing something
from the menu, an Indian couple will normally shake their heads
rather softly, and often to one side, with small intervals. Once
they come closer to a choice, the couple makes clear to each other
what they want to order, the wobbling increases to both left and
right. Once they eat, they keep their heads rather steady, even
though I think that a bit of wobbling might actually help to bring
the food down to their stomach a bit faster. But who am I tell them
that? Once the food is nished, and they fall back in their chairs,
their heads still balance loosely and much more relaxed above the
rest of their body. It isnt until they receive the bill -my
favor-ite part, when the most extensive wobbling occurs. There is
often a lot
WHY DO INDIANS WOBBLE THEIR HEAD?
of pointing and arguing over the bill with the waitresses, but
in the end their wobbling heads will go down in the purse and the
raised voice will go down with it and decreases to a mumbling
sound. I shouldnt watch these scenes anymore, as I noticed that I
started shaking my own heavy head as well from time to time Could
it be infectious?
A few months ago I landed in Aber-deen. My rst time ever in
Scotland and the rst Scot I met was an Indian. It was the money
changer at the airport. You better change here! Best price in town
and I give your money back if you can nd a better deal, the Indian
Scotsman said. This tiny Indian fellow would never have lasted this
long between all the huge Scotsmen, if he wasnt honest, I thought,
so I changed all the Euros I had. You guarantee the best exchange
rate? And you are open every day? I asked to be sure. He didnt say
anything, but he nodded yes. When he nodded yes again, and again, I
got a bit suspicious, but I had the pounds already in my hand. The
taxi driver from the airport told me I was robbed. It was a
terrible rate. A few days later, when I returned to the airport
hungry for revenge, the Indian money changer was closed. Well,
actually he was in his little box, but he ignored my calls to open
up. Im sure he heard me. It was only until I kept a handful of
pounds up in the air when he looked in my direc-tion. But only from
the corners of his eyes. He did not smile, he did not talk, he just
looked up that little bit, was motionless for 3 seconds, then
wobbled his head for 3 seconds and turned around again to continue
counting the money in his drawer. I felt like a fool. I survived 20
years of doing business in Indonesia, but got robbed after 10
minutes in Scot-land.
I wonder if there is a border is between wobblers and
non-wobblers, or if the wobbling just fades away in border areas
And
what happens when a wobbler marries with a non-wobbler? Will the
parents accept it? Their daughters will probably get warnings like,
You can go out with him, but only when your head stays rm on your
romp! You dont give a kick, you hear me? And the boys parents are
not too happy as well, but they know it will be alright, as
wobbling is infectious and in the long run the girls head will
loosen up. So the wobblers are winning terrain, that is for sure.
The other day in Eastern Promise, I saw one of the waitresses doing
it, while writing down an order from an Indian with a turban. I
called the waitress to me, and asked why she also wobbled her head
while taking the order, I warned it her it could annoy the
customer! She said it was not. In general tips are higher when I
hobble wobble my head a bit, she explained. And while I looked at
her in bewilderment, there were a few seconds of silence between
us. Then she just did a quick head wobble, smiled at me and
returned to take another order.
Next time I need to change money in Aberdeen, I bring her with
me

Postscript:The BuGils management was
seriously worried that the content of this editorial could oend
our Indian customers. However, after consulting
a few of our best Indian customers, they independently voted
that the story should be published. At rst,
they were a bit hesitant (shaking their heads without saying
anything), but
when we oered a discount on the curries, it was a conrmed
nod.

Ex-SAS Commander Tipped As Australias Next Envoy To
Indonesia
source : blog.indahnesia.comFemale tourist would have beneted
from their activities. The chief of security of Kuta Beach, one of
the most popular beaches on the island, has said this Tuesday.
The man are being interrogated and when it is proven that they
are indeed involved in illegal business, they will be handed over
to the police, said I Gusti Ngurah Tresna. The chocolate brown,
muscled man would often approach foreign female tourists an care
about them for the time they are on the island. The men would then
get paid by the women for their services and possibly sex.
Reason for their arrest is the recently released documentary
Cowbows in Paradise from Amit Virmani, that was
KUTA - At least 28 man were arrested because they would have
oered themselves as gigolo on the Indonesian resort island of
Bali.
Gigolos Arrested After Video Release
released on the South Korea lm festival last week. Pieces of the
movie about gigolo's and their female 'victims' on Bali are a true
hit on the internet at the moment. According to Tresna, the
authorities do not want their sweet image of Bali to be disturbed
by images of gigolo's.
The Indian director, who grew up in Indonesia, names the
phenomenon of 'Kuta Cowboys' something that has been around for
ages and is also a big public secret. He just wants to show the
human side of these gigolo's with his movie. The director has
already received a lot of hate-mail from people that say he made an
anti-Indonesian movie. The lm has not yet been ocially released in
Indonesia, but internet is never far away.
Source : www.theaustralian.com.auAustralian prime Minister Kevin
Rudd's national security adviser, former SAS commander Duncan
Lewis, is the front-runner to become Australia's next ambassador to
Jakarta. Diplomatic sources in Canberra and Jakarta told The
Australian yesterday that the Indonesian-speaking Mr Lewis was in
line to replace the current ambassador, Bill Farmer, whose term is
about to expire.
The Department of Foreign Aairs and Trade would neither conrm
nor deny the appointment. A spokesman for the Prime Minister
referred queries to Foreign Minister Stephen Smith's sta, who also
declined to conrm or deny the claims. But the appointment, if it
goes ahead, would be very signicant. Mr Lewis, 54, who has
previously served as defence attache in Jakarta and retired from
the army as a major-general, is a high-prole special forces ocer
and intelligence expert. And he had a "formi-dable" knowledge of
Indonesia, said a
NEWS
national security expert and former long-term Jakarta resident.
"More broadly he is across a range of high-level security issues on
the agenda between Canberra and Jakarta - terror-ism, police and
military co-operation, people-smuggling, border control and illegal
shing," he said.
Mr Lewis retired from the army in 2005 and was recruited by
former prime minister John Howard, and appointed rst assistant
secretary of the national security division in the Department of
the Prime Minister and Cabinet. In December 2008, he was appointed
as national security adviser to the Rudd government.
A seasoned crisis manager, Mr Lewis was also the commander of
Australian troops in East Timor after the departure of then major
general Peter Cosgrove - at a time of high tension along the border
after the 1999 Australian-led Interfet deployment.

Six Million Indonesian Women Now Working Abroad; Families
Struggle
NEWS
5
Source : IRIN, The Jakarta GlobeThe number of women leaving
Indone-sia, legally or illegally, has been steadily climbing over
the past decade, accord-ing to the National Authority for the
Placement and Protection of Indonesian Overseas Workers.
An estimated six million Indonesian woman some 90 percent of all
Indonesian migrant labourers are now working overseas, according to
the authority.
Most go to the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE,
Jordon and Qatar, with the rest are in Asia Pacic, including
Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan.
Many Indonesian villages are left with a shortage of women. Men,
such as Edin in Cimanggu village, in a rural farming community on
Java Island, sometimes assume the role of a single parent for years
at a time.
Its very dicult. I have to be very patient to raise them. The
grandparents cannot take care of them, so its only me, said Edin,
who has two teenagers.
His wife worked in Saudi Arabia for almost seven years, enabling
the couple to pay school fees and buy a motorcycle.
But they still cannot aord their own land or a house, he
said.
His wife returns in six months from what he hopes will be her
last trip. It is not worth it, I dont want her to go again, he
said.
While their wives are away, many Indonesia men have been left to
take care of their children alone.
According to the World Bank, the regis-tered remittances
Indonesian migrant workers send home account for more than US$6
billion annually, comprising the second-highest source of income
after oil and gas. But this contribution comes at a signicant cost
to women and their families.
Most of the women are in debt because of placement fees and
travel costs they have to pay the [employment] agents. It sometimes
takes them the rst 16 months to pay the agents back, said Yoko Doi,
a specialist in migrant labour at the World Bank in Jakarta. They
also lack nancial planning.
For many, the desperately sought-after prosperity for which they
sacriced so much remains elusive.
Nine-year-old Zikiris mother has been
working for more than two years in Saudi Arabia and left when
his sister was still a baby. She has only sent money home once.
His father was supposed to take care of him, but he could not do
it. The kids were dirty and did not get enough food, so we brought
them here, said Ai Syam-siyah, Zikiris aunt.
Some migrant workers build big houses, but cannot aord the
maintenance and are forced to go back to work abroad. But most of
the money is spent on daily costs for schooling, food and
transporta-tion.
Wages abroad are low and the workload sometimes involves looking
after entire families alone without holidays.
Women make the most in Hong Kong, earning almost $500 per month,
while in Malaysia, they make less then $150, according to Migrant
Care, an Indone-sian NGO.
But back home they make a fraction of that amount, and
unemployment and poverty are rife.
The stories about the appalling condi-tions experienced by
migrant workers are painful. Some women sleep in cupboards, or have
no private space at all. Food is poor and insucient. They often
work extremely long hours and are the rst to get up and the last to
go to bed. An estimated 20 percent come back abused, raped, or
without being paid, according to Migrant Care.
But for the women of Cimanggu, such horror stories do not deter
women from leaving home.
I was worried sick. If I was rich, I would not have let her go,
but I could not even send her to school. She sacriced herself for a
better economic situation, said Eneh, whose 18-year-old daughter
went to Saudi Arabia. After two years of hard work there, her
daughter returned with only $120.

trolley as she waits for her documents to be processed after
arriving from Saudi Arabia, last year. An estimated six million
Indonesian women are now working abroad, often in appalling
conditions. (Reuters/Beawiharta)

Source : Yessar Rosendar, the Jakarta GlobeThe shine is wearing
o of Indonesia as an investment destination for interna-tional
energy companies, despite the global energy rush and the countrys
massive reserves of oil and natural gas, according to a survey
released by Price-waterhouseCoopers on Thursday.
According to PWC, executives from oil and gas companies cited
rising concerns about uncertainty over cost-recovery legislation,
corruption, interference by government agencies, the sanctity of
contracts and the general regulatory structure of the upstream and
down-stream oil and gas industry. The execu-tives said they were
increasingly skepti-cal about the chances for positive change in
these ve areas in the near term, according to PWC.
Indonesia still regarded as attractive. However, the shine seems
to be wearing o, said William Deertz, lead technical adviser for
energy, utilities and mining practices at PWC Indonesia. There is a
shift of sentiment, survey participants seems less optimistic in
near term improvement, which is not good for investment.
PWC surveyed 317 executives from 76 foreign and domestic oil and
gas companies. The ndings come at a time when the government is
struggling to nd ways to reverse the gradual decline in national
oil production.
Once a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries, Indone-sia is now a net importer of crude, and is
struggling to reverse steadily declining output, targeted this year
at 965,000 barrels a day.
The government provided some measure of relief and certainty to
inves-tors this week when it announced it would not proceed with a
plan to limit the amount of expenses oil and gas companies could
claim under the cost-recovery process.
The unsettled regulation and the issue of limits has been a
major concern for investors.
Cost-recovery that changed midway is unacceptable, Deertz
said.
Ron Aston, president of the Indonesian
Petroleum Association, which repre-sents almost all oil and gas
producers in the country, said Indonesia was still attractive as
long as the investment climate remained positive. Indonesia still
has basins that contain large reserves, he said.
The fundamental thing for the oil and gas industry across the
world is geologi-cal prospectivity, so its certainly attrac-tive,
Aston said.
However, the government needed to take steps to make the sector
more attractive to international investors, he said.
Over the next few years energy compa-nies are set to invest
around $1 billion to explore the blocks around the Makassar Strait,
even though it was uncertain whether oil was in the area, Aston
said, adding that this highlighted the high level of risk
involved.
Its a staggering fact that they invest billions of dollars just
to see if some-thing is there.
The government should complete the cost-recovery regulation very
soon, because it will enhance production activities in oil and gas,
he said.
There is a misconception. Cost recovery is not a reimbursement,
its government investment so that production can increase, Aston
added.
Edy Hermantoro, director of upstream oil and gas at the Energy
Ministry, said Indonesia still has enormous oil and gas potential.
According to ministry data, in January 2009 the country had
potential oil reserves of 3,695.39 million barrels of oil and
proven reserves of 4.303.1 million barrels of oil.
International oil and gas executives have growing reservations
about investing in Indonesia, according to a survey by PWC. (Antara

A little male-bashing..for fun.
I have always wanted to put myself in the shoes of the girls
that work behind the bar at Bugils.obviously depending on what kind
of shoes they have on. But only recently have I been privy to
seeing what these girls go through.
I have been in and out of Bugils for a while, but only recently
am I getting the hang of how it works here in Bali. If a woman is
single (attractive is not a require-ment), just single and a little
bit of personality and brains she has a good chance at Bugils Bali
of meeting a man. What kind of manwell that isnt guaranteed but men
that will compliment you and treat you well. They will tell you
that you have nice legseven though you have had the same legs in 5
other countries and no one has said a word, they will touch your
lower back and move to your backside, even though in 5 other
countries you would get slapped for that behavior. Men look at your
cleavagewhich I assure you has never happened to me due to a lack
thereof. If you are really lucky you may get a guy who will even
nibble your ear or try to touch your breast at the bar!
Bugils is a great bar with great fun people. Most of these
great, fun people are menwhich we like very much! And a fair share
of the men are gentlemen, mar-ried and unmarried and treat women
with the utmost respect. For some othersthere are times when I
really do wonder if they realize what they look like from the other
side of the bar.
And for your lonely single girls out there, this is an
invitation for you to come and meet the charming and not so
charming at Bugils Bali, as I do believe in sharing the wealth!
Oldies but goodies:
Man: Your face must turn a few headsWoman: And your face must
turn a few stom-achs.
Man: Haven't I seen you some place before?Woman: Yes. That's why
I don't go there anymore
Man: Hey baby, what's your sign?Woman: Do not enter.
Man: I think I could make you very happy.Woman: Why? Are you
leaving?
Man: I would go to the end of the world for you. Woman: Yes, but
would you stay there

Sudoku, known as well as sdoku or su doku is a logical kind of
Japanese puzzle.
RULES ARE simple, it consists of a 9x9 grid, divided in 9 blocks
of 3x3, that have to be lled up so all rows, columns, and blocks
(3x3) contain numbers 1 to 9 without repeating,
YOU OBVIOUSLY start out with some spaces already lled in. Theres
only one possible solution for each sudoku, so be careful!
