In term of the wealth distribution, in my opinion, we should focus on nurturing and protecting our small and medium size company, so we can try to avoid South Korea current condition, in which their conglomerates growing can not afford to trickle down their wealth efficiently into the mass population.

The education system in South Korea seems to nurture their Chaebol businesses by creating submissive workers only. Some thing that I fear happening in Indonesia in the future by implementing tough education system which lack of analytical skills practice and Independent mentallity. Too much learning at school will make students get lesser time to learn and study something that they like at newspaper or books, two important source in which we can learn from the best and study different view and opinion regarding one particular topic.

Too much time under school institution will make follower mentality into the student brain, and best thinker are also not at school teaching them, best thinker can only be found at books, newspaper, CNN, and others. Dont forget about silly conversation at FB as well.

I respectfully disagree with your statement, our education system IMO is already one of the most lax in the world. Our students rank 2nd from bottom in problem solving skills (PISA). I remember studying from singapore's math textbook, man the A-level problems were so difficult compared to ours!
And yet when our govt put algebra into primary school curriculum, parents protested!
I guess being competitive is discouraged in our "kekeluargaan" culture, where "individualism" is branded as "western" and "foreign". I dread what will happen when ASEAN integration come into effect.
I hear a story about an IT company closing its factory here and relocate to malaysia, because they can't find 500 (!) IT engineers with actual, real knowledge, not just a university degree.

I prefer USA or other Western education system than Singapore/Japan/South Korean system.

Talking about Engineering sector I can say that Huawey hire too many Chinese engineers here, not because of better than us, but because of cheap. It should not be allowed. Ericsson Indonesia become a victim then, including my brother who worked there.

I also can say to you that my brother first job is at USA as Telecommunication engineer, he was graduated from our local university, similar likes my cousin working at Dutch company in Singapore as Engineer as well for his first job and he is a graduate from our university.

Experience problem is just an excused.

"Not only in the country, if the supply of bullets for Leopard has been fulfilled, PINDAD also targeting the Asian market using Leopard. Munitions Leopard market share in Asia is still limited, only Singapore and Indonesia and Australia," said Wayan.

PINDAD has had a large caliber munitions manufacturing facilities and large caliber munition rockets in Malang. Red plate industry is targeting in 2019 was able to produce the caliber of 76 mm, 90 mm and 105 mm which is widely used by the international market with the promised benefits.

"But PINDAD must meet the military needs first, then the excess can be exported," said Wayan.

Wayan explained that, in the future, Indonesia not to rely import. Currently the company is improving the quality and quantity of armaments and targeting products will be leading defense equipment manufacturers in Asia in 2023.

"We have carried out an increase in production capacity and the ability to design and production capacity has been planned three years. So by 2015, 2019, and 2023 was the vision PINDAD 2023 we will be the leading defense equipment industry in Asia. Because, right, every year designs or indeed the needs of the military re-review it in. it was in line with Law No. 16/2012. Hence, we have a target, the year 2023, Indonesia was able to top the defense industry in the region, "he said.

PINDAD continue to produce small caliber ammunition commonly used for pistol, rifle, assault rifle up. To multiply the number of these small munitions production, PINDAD has brought a new machine with the latest technology.

"The general nature of small-caliber ammunition. We already have the additional capacity to provide machinery of modern production. If all installed in 2015, I was able to double the production capacity of small caliber, 140 million eggs per year," said Wayan.

Four Indonesian naval ships on standby in E. Kalimantan for patrol
Sabtu, 22 November 2014 16:53 WIB | 397 Views

Balikpapan (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian navy (TNI AL) has sent four ships to patrol the northern waters of East Kalimantan.

KRI Kakap 811, KRI Pulau Rengat 711, KRI Birang 831, and KRI Suluh Pari 809 are ready to patrol and secure the Indonesian Archipelago Sea Lanes (ALKI) II, which includes the Makassar Strait, waters of Sulu, and those of Sulawesi that border Malaysia and the Philippines in the north.

"Right now, our primary focus is on protecting our fishermen and preventing foreign ones from poaching fish in our waters," the chief of the naval base in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Colonel Ariantyo Confrowibowo, said here on Saturday.

Foreign fishermen from various countries located north of Indonesia enter ALKI II or exploit the Indonesia Exclusive Economic Zone (ZEE).

The colonel explained that foreign fishing vessels stay outside Indonesian territorial waters during daylight hours or when they are being monitored. "But as soon as night falls, they enter our waters and start poaching fish. This is one of their methods of operation," he added.

Confrowibowo stated that the foreign fishing ships are usually large and use thousand watt lights to attract fish. This leaves Indonesian traditional fishermen, who do not have such facilities, with no fish to catch.

The foreign fishing vessels also use fishing equipment, including trawls, which are banned from use in Indonesian waters, the navy chief noted.

In view of that, he remarked that the TNI AL could understand why the new minister of fisheries and marine resources was furious over the situation and had threatened to burn and sink the ships if they were caught entering Indonesian territory.

Produk pertahanan karya lokal kualitas internasional

Produk pertahanan karya lokal kualitas internasional

Kalau mau jual pesawat ke Indonesia jangan hanya jual saja, tapi perakitan akhirnya harus di Indonesia."

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Persenjataan dan perlengkapan militer produk Indonesia ternyata sudah mendunia, hal itu terungkap dalam pameran Indodefence 2014 baru-baru ini di Jakarta.

Perusahaan garmen Sritex memproduksi pakaian militer ke 30 negara seperti Jerman, Malaysia, Amerika, Swedia, dan lain sebagainya.

"Kita sudah suplai ke 30 negara, seperti seragam loreng, jaket, Pakaian Dinas Harian (PDH)," kata Torang Siburian, selaku General Manager Sritex.

Keunggulan pakaian militer buatan perusahaan yang berlokasi di Solo ini ialah penggunaan teknologi anti-infra merah, anti-api, anti-air, hingga anti-serangga, pada seragam garapannya sehingga mampu mendukung operasi militer di setiap medan.

Terdapat juga rompi tempur canggih buatan PT Farin Industri Nusantara yang bermarkas di Bandung Jawa Barat.

Rompi yang mampu menyerap panas tersebut merupakan hasil penelitian bersama dengan Puslitbang (pusat penelitian dan pengembangan) Polri dan Kementerian Pertahanan.

Menurut Stephen Nusantara, Presiden Direktur Farin, rompi yang kerap digunakan militer maupun kepolisian kerap menyebabkan heat stress (Kondisi panas tubuh yang berlebih), sehingga menurunkan ketahanan fisik prajurit.

"Dengan lapisan ini, panas yang dihasilkan tubuh akan diubah menjadi dingin melalui proses kimiawi dari lapisan tersebut," kata Stephen.

Dia mengatakan lapisan yang bisa diaplikasikan kepada semua jenis rompi tempur tersebut diminati banyak negara, baik di Asia maupun Amerika.

Stephen mengatakan Thailand, Filipina, Malaysia, dan Amerika memesan produk tersebut hingga jumlah ribuan unit untuk digunakan sebagai komponen pelindung pasukan militer maupun penegak hukum mereka,

"Inovasi ini lebih maju dibandingkan Amerika yang masih menggunakan kantong es untuk mendinginkan badan. Padahal mereka kan senior di bidang teknologi militer," katanya.

Indonesia juga masih memiliki potensi pada bidang pengembangan persenjataan dan pertahanan ringan maupun menengah.

Terdapat kendaraan taktis buatan PT Sentra Surya Ekajaya (SSE) yang telah digunakan sejumlah pasukan khusus Indonesia seperti Komando Pasukan Katak (Kopaska) TNI AL, Detasemen Jala Menkara (Denjaka) Korps Marinir, dan Komando Pasukan Khusus (Kopassus) TNI AD.

"Kita juga telah mengirim lima unit kendaraan angkut personel lapis baja ke Srilanka. Sampai sekarang tidak ada keluhan," kata Chief Executive Officer PT Sentra Surya Ekajaya, Eka Suryajaya.

Sementara itu, Dinas Penelitian dan Pengembangan (Dislitbang) TNI AD telah berinovasi dengan mengembangkan sejumlah produk.

Inovasi terbaru dari Dislitbang TNI AD ialah Kendaraan Intai-Tempur Komodo dan Senapan Mesin Multi Laras (SMML) kaliber 7,62 milimeter.

"Kendaraan Komodo ini adalah hasil riset mandiri Dislitbang dan bekerjasama dengan PT Fin Komodo Technology di Cimahi, Bandung," kata Kepala Seksi Rekayasa Mekanik Laboratorium Dislitbang TNI AD, Mayor Infantri Rudy Heru Yudoyono.

Terobosan lain yang dilakukan Dislitbang TNI AD ialah pengembangan SMML yang menggunakan mekanisme mirip seperti Gatling Gun buatan Amerika.

"Ini adalah versi ke tiga, sudah mengalami perubahan dan penyempurnaan dari versi sebelumnya. Untuk mengembangkan ini kita juga kerja sama dengan PT Pindad," kata Rudy menjelaskan.

Transfer Teknologi
Dalam perkembangannya, Indonesia juga menjalin kerja sama dengan sejumlah pihak dari luar negeri untuk turut membantu mengembangkan industri pertahanan.

Kerja sama yang dilakukan dapat bermacam-macam bentuknya, dan biasanya turut disertakan dalam sebuah kontrak pembelian atau penjualan produk militer antar negara.

Indonesia mensyaratkan suatu kerja sama kepada negara yang menawarkan produk militernya.

Kerja sama tersebut ialah Transfer of Technology (ToT), yaitu suatu kerja sama yang mengharuskan penjual membagi kemampuan teknologi pembuatan produk mereka kepada pembeli, baik sebagian maupun keseluruhan.

Direktur Utama PT Dirgantara Indonesia Budi Santoso mengatakan Indonesia juga mengajukan syarat khusus terhadap setiap pembelian pesawat tempur dari luar negeri.

"Kalau mau jual pesawat ke Indonesia jangan hanya jual saja, tapi perakitan akhirnya harus di Indonesia," kata Budi.

Dengan begitu, katanya, Indonesia bisa leluasa melakukan perbaikan atau upgrade secara mandiri tanpa harus mengirim ke negara asal pembuatannya.

"Siapa pun saya dukung asalkan buat pabrik perakitannya di Indonesia, di mana pun silahkan. Tidak harus di PT DI," kata Budi menjelaskan.

Eurofighter Typhoon
Indonesia kini sedang dalam rencana penggantian armada pesawat tempur F-5 Tiger.

Budi mengatakan, saat ini perusahaan konsorsium dari Eropa, Eurofighter, menjadi pihak yang tengah bernegosiasi terkait persyaratan tersebut, yaitu menyerahkan proses perakitan jet tempur Typhoon di Indonesia.

"Nanti setiap bagian pesawat akan datang ke Indonesia. Seperti sayap dari Italia dan Spanyol, badan pesawat dari Jerman atau Inggris, akan dikirim dan dirakit di sini," kata Budi.

Pengecekan akhir dan tes terbang yang pertama kali pun akan dilakukan oleh Indonesia, katanya.

Budi lebih lanjut mengatakan Eurofighter menawarkan desain dan fitur khusus pada pesawat itu sehingga varian Typhoon milik Indonesia akan berbeda dengan varian yang dimiliki negara lain.

"Ada Conformal Fuel Tank (CFT) di sisi atas, dan ini desain baru yang belum pernah dibuat. Sekarang mereka juga meminta saya untuk menghitung desainnya kepada mereka," katanya.

CFT pada Typhoon menambah daya angkut persenjataan di bagian sayap, serta meningkatkan aerodinamisme pesawat ketika bermanuver di udara.

Budi menuturkan banyak negara yang menawarkan penjualan berbagai jenis pesawat tempur ke Indonesia, namun enggan memenuhi syarat tersebut.

"Alasannya karena itu kan rahasia negara. Tapi Typhoon ini kan konsorsium dari Jerman, Inggris, Italia, dan Spanyol, jadi sudah bukan rahasia negara lagi dong?," kata Budi.
