Estonia to Help Guide Indonesia National Cybersecurity Update
Dina Manafe | April 06, 2013
Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet and his Indonesian counterpart Marty Natalegawa met in Jakarta
Indonesia is seeking to learn more about cybersecurity from Estonia, a country which has seen rapid growth in information technology after becoming a victim of a systematic cyberattack in 2007.
Dian Triansyah Djani, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry’s director general for American and European affairs, inaugurated the Jakarta Honorary Consulate for the Republic of Estonia on Thursday evening.
The Jakarta Honorary Counsel for the Republic of Estonia, Adriana Sri Lestari, said the consulate will enable the two countries to strengthen ties, particularly in the fields of education, information technology, infrastructure and trade.
Adriana noted the rapid development Estonia has shown in information technology after the former Soviet state was targeted by a series of cyberattacks from a pro-Kremlin group.
The attack left the country paralyzed, swamping websites belonging to Estonian government offices, banks, organizations and media. But since then, the country has thoroughly revamped its IT network. The country is now rated as being one of the most prepared against cyberattacks, according to a recent report by security vendor McAfee.
“Internet connection is now available throughout the country and Estonia has a high ... penetration rate,” Adriana said.
Marko Mihkelson, the delegation of the Republic of Estonia counsel, said the country is eager to share its successes in updating its cyber security. “We hope that soon there will be a meeting to cooperate on education and training in this field,” he said.
“I have met with the Estonian ambassador for Indonesia to stage additional meetings to determine what topics need to be discussed and what focuses must be prioritized.”
Indonesia has also been the target of cyberattacks. The Ministry for Communication and Information Technology has recorded a total of 36.6 million attacks against Indonesian websites.

Navy opens new base prepared for submarines
Ruslan Sangadji, The Jakarta Post, Palu | Archipelago | Sat, April 06 2013, 11:18 AM
Ideal base: The Indonesian Navy chief of staff Adm. Marsetio (second right), reveals the plan to develop the Palu Naval Base in Palu, Central Sulawesi, on Friday, to Central Sulawesi Governor Longki Djanggola (second left) and Palu Mayor Rusdi Mastura (left). The naval base will house Indonesian submarines on account of its ideal geographic conditions.(Antara/Basri Marzuki)
Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) chief of staff Adm. Marsetio opened on Friday the Palu Naval Base in Palu, Central Sulawesi, as part of an effort to secure Indonesian waters, especially in the eastern part of the country.
The naval base is located on a 13-hectare plot in Palu’s Watusampu subdistrict, Ulujadi district, of which only 2.8 hectares have been built on.
The building, which faces Palu Bay, has been built over the past two years and cost around Rp 7 billion (US$717,000).
“The naval base location is ideal and strategic, and there is no such dock in Indonesia like the one in Palu,” Marsetio told the media after the opening ceremony.
He said the naval base was precisely located in Palu Bay and at an ideal depth. It is the third-deepest sea in the world.
It will also serve as the Navy’s submarine base, where three submarines purchased from South Korea, will be stationed. “The KRI Cakra 401 and KRI Nanggala 402 submarines have often docked here, as the sea is very deep and suitable for submarines,” said Marsetio.
Palu Bay was picked as one of TNI AL’s submarine bases because the bay is quite strategic in Indonesia. It is 10 kilometers wide and its coastline stretches for 68 kilometers while its depth reaches 400 meters. Natural protection against extreme ocean currents is also considered to be adequate and advantageous for a submarine base.
“At such a depth, large vessels, such as aircraft carriers from the United States could easily navigate through the bay,” said Marsetio.
The Palu Naval Base will in the future not only serve as a forward base, but a main naval base. Therefore, the navy will equip it with various facilities given the base’s close proximity with the Malaysian border.
“The Ambalat waters remains vulnerable, so the submarine base in Palu is most strategic to secure the region,” he added.
Meanwhile, Central Sulawesi Governor Longki Djanggola said that based on documents belonging to the Palu city administration, in terms of defense strategy, Palu Bay is centrally situated between the Indonesian border in the north and the Java Sea in the south, so submarines stationed there could cover the region effectively.
The area is also part of the second Sea Lane of Communications (ALKI) II, where large merchant ships could traverse under the UNCLOS international maritime law.
“Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan and China, which are very strategic for Indonesia from the geopolitical and geoeconomic aspects, are located north of the ALKI II. So, Palu Bay is very suitable as TNI AL’s submarine base,” said Longki.
Indonesia’s current submarines, the U-206 type KRI Cakra and KRI Nanggala, were made by German shipyard Howaldtswerke in Kiel, Germany, and were commissioned in 1981.
The three U-209 type submarines, worth some $1.07 billion, will be delivered in 2015 and 2016. Two of the submarines will be build at Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) facilities in Busan, South Korea. The third would be completed at the state-owned shipyard PT PAL Indonesia facilities in Surabaya, East Java.
Initial reports said the submarines would weigh 1,400 tons and be 61.3 meters long. Each submarine will carry up to 40 crew members and have eight weapons tubes for torpedoes and other weapons.

C. Java election security simulation blasts off

A water cannon, rifles, barbed wire and a bomb squad were used during a security simulation held at the National Police Academy in Bhayangkara Square, Semarang, on Friday.
Involving hundreds of police and military personnel, the simulation was held as Central Java’s security forces prepare for the gubernatorial election, which is slated for May 26.
The Central Java General Elections Commission (KPUD) had previously announced on Thursday that three pairs of candidates would contest the gubernatorial race.
They are incumbent Governor Bibit Waluyo, who is paired with academic Sudijono Sastroatmodjo, with support from the Democratic Party, the National Mandate Party (PAN) and the Golkar Party; lawmaker Ganjar Pranowo and running mate Purbalingga Regent Heru Sudjatmoko, who are supported by the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P); and Central Java provincial secretary Hadi Prabowo and his running mate, Sumedang Regent Don Murdono, who have been nominated by the Great Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party, the United Development Party (PPP), the National Awakening Party (PKB), the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the National Ulema Awakening Party (PKNU) and the People’s Conscience (Hanura) Party.
The three candidate pairs were seen watching the simulation on Friday.
“I have learned that the use of water cannon is less effective [than other measures]. The exhausted crowd became wild again when water was sprayed on them. We can use this in our evaluation feedback,” Central Java Police chief Insp. Gen. Didiek Sutomo Triwidodo said after the simulation.
The simulation depicted a situation in which hundreds of angry people were dissatisfied with the election result at a polling station and aimed to destroy the place.
The incident grew and anarchic behavior extended into urban areas.
Hundreds of police personnel, soldiers and public order officers were sent in as a mass force to get the situation under control. But the mob grew even wilder and began to taunt the security personnel by throwing stones and burning anything they could get their hands on. They also destroyed public facilities and looted shops.
In an attempt to regain order, the security personnel then used the water cannon on them, while members of the police’s Mobile Brigade (Brimob) managed to round up the looters.
It turned out that a bomb was also reported to have been placed inside the KPUD office. Brimob’s Gegana bomb squad was promptly deployed to the site to defuse the bomb.
“From this simulation we can see the speed with which the joint security apparatus secured the gubernatorial election,” Didiek said.
Separately, gubernatorial candidate Ganjar Pranowo said the simulation gave him confidence regarding the security surrounding the election.
“I hope a riot like this doesn’t happen during the upcoming gubernatorial election,” he said.
“I believe that the people of Central Java are peaceful and fair-minded.”
The police will be deploying 22,600 personnel to secure the election. This figure excludes personnel from the military and other institutions.
The police also said that during the campaigning, election and post-election periods, each gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidate would be personally guarded by police officers.

The South Korean company conducted a demonstration campaign at the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) base in Jakarta.
Equipped with Optronics systems and a small naval radar, an armed Aron M50 can fire small anti-ship missiles or guided rockets to attack larger ships. Aron deployed from coastal bases can provide a country with swift first response capability against trespassing vessels on its maritime territory. According to the manufacturer, Aron is an asset in strengthening core coastal patrol operations. It is able to assist in tactical response to enemy ships and control of long distance ocean borders.
In its basic configuration, the WIG craft is capable of reaching a top speed of 200 Km/h and has a range of 800 Km.

Why we must buy these craps, i don't think we can find the best use for those aircraft or whatever you name it. In my opinion TNI AL should buy more choppers or dedicated ASW/MPA aircraft not those kind of rubbish in which you can't use it properly too far from water surface like sea or lakes.
