After an amazing decade in space, these are humanity’s top achievements - Ars Technica

After an amazing decade in space, these are humanity's top achievements - Ars Technica

This image may provide a clue to our top space mission of the decade.

SpaceX

As we approach the end of the 2010s, it's been fun to contemplate the coolest, most daring, and most significant feats of spaceflight during the last decade. Such an exercise leads inexorably to a simple conclusion—humans from around the world have done a lot of amazing things in space over the last 10 years.

For simplicity's sake, I had originally hoped to write about the five most important missions. But soon, I realized that this was far too limiting. Truthfully, even picking 10 of the biggest and best accomplishments during the last decade has proven incredibly challenging. We've had to leave out some really awesome things on this list, not to mention ultimately cheating (as this list goes to 11). It was so hard. If you read through the "honorable mentions" at the end of this list, there are literally dozens of incredible space feats. It makes me feel better about our species.

This is a subjective list, of course. I asked my followers on Twitter for suggestions on the "coolest" or "most exciting" or "best" space missions this decade and got 175 replies. I spoke with several NASA and academic leaders for their input and got plenty more insight. But at the end of the day, this is my list of the things that I'd rank as the most inspiring and significant achievements. Address your hate mail accordingly.

11. Soyuz MS-10 abort

In October 2018, a Soyuz spacecraft launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome carrying two humans, Russian cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin and NASA astronaut Nick Hague. A "bent" sensor on one of the rocket's four boosters that failed to properly signal stage separation, and this caused one of the booster stages to improperly separate from the rocket. This booster then struck the core of the rocket, causing a significant jolt and triggering one of the Soyuz spacecraft's automatic escape systems.

Fortunately, the hardy Soyuz capsule's escape system worked as intended. This is notable, because launch escape systems are rarely, if ever, tested on the actual flight vehicles ahead of missions. But in times of emergency, they are absolutely critical to the saving of human lives. In this case, the abort system triggered automatically, subjecting Ovchinin and Hague to a brief period of high gravity before they returned to Earth in a parabolic arc. This was a hugely dramatic moment in human spaceflight this decade. It's a testament to both the hardiness of the Russian crewed spacecraft design and the apparently declining reliability of the country's aerospace manufacturing processes.

Both astronauts launched successfully into orbit on March 2019.

10. Rocket Lab and the rest

As it turns out, building a rocket from scratch is difficult. Just one private company succeeded in flying a new small satellite launcher during the 2010s—Rocket Lab. After an initial test flight failed to reach orbit in 2017, the company has rattled off nine consecutive successful launches from its New Zealand spaceport. By the end of 2019, Rocket Lab was launching at a cadence of one mission about every month and a half. In fact, of US-based companies, Rocket Lab ranked second in total launches in 2019 with six—ahead of United Launch Alliance and only behind SpaceX.

One of the big space stories over the last five years has been the rise of dozens of new launch companies seeking to build rockets capable of launching between 100kg and 2 metric tons to low-Earth orbit. Many of these companies will fail—some, like Vector, already have—as the commercial and government market for dedicated launch can likely only support a few competitors. NASA has provided some modest support for these companies, but the majority of capital backing them has come from private investors.

Given that so many other companies are trying to make it in this market, Rocket Lab's rise has been remarkable, both from recognizing the potential market early (the company was founded in 2006, three years before SpaceX abandoned the Falcon 1 for the larger Falcon 9) and having the skills to develop a competent rocket and grow its business. In 2020, Rocket Lab plans to expand its launch operations to a second site at Wallops Island in Virginia and to continue working toward reusing its Electron first stages.

9. Parker Solar Probe

One senior NASA official wrote me to specifically say this mission absolutely needs to make the list. Deservedly so.

Launched in August, 2018, the probe broke the record for closest, controlled approach to the Sun in October 2018 when it passed within 42.7 million km of the Sun's surface.  At its closest approach in 2024, the probe is due to get within 6.2 million kilometers of the Sun's surface. The Parker Solar Probe has also shattered the record for a spacecraft's velocity relative to the Sun, and it will eventually reach speeds of nearly 700,000 km/hour, or 0.064 percent the speed of light.

Earlier this month, scientists began reporting their first findings from observations made by the spacecraft, including new insights into the fundamental physics of the Sun's corona, and this should eventually allow for much improved predictions of space weather.

And the Parker Solar Probe had one other important first—NASA named it after a living scientist, Eugene Parker. The space agency took this extraordinary step due to Parker's persistence about his theories of the solar wind, which were initially widely dismissed by his fellow scientists. Now he gets to live to see a probe not only confirm his theories but provide troves of additional data.

8. Voyagers go into the great beyond

Never before had a spacecraft visited four worlds in a single, grand tour as the two Voyager probes did in the 1970s and 1980s with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Before the Voyagers launched in 1977, humans had been looking at fuzzy blobs in the outer Solar System for hundreds of years. Pioneer 10 and 11 provided some better views of Jupiter and Saturn, but still very little was known about the planets or their moons. Next to nothing was known of Uranus and Neptune. The Voyagers uncovered complex planetary systems and incredible moons, such as volcano-covered Io, icy Europa, and Titan with its methane seas.

But they didn't stop there. They continued to press onward and outward, eventually reaching the edge of the Solar System, where the Sun's energy stops directly affecting the environment. The Sun generates an enormous magnetic field that extends well beyond the planets and emits a stream of charged particles that stream out toward interstellar space. These influences are limited by the galaxy, which has its own magnetic field and an interstellar medium full of its own charged particles. At some point, distant from the Sun, these two influences collide: the Sun's influence weakens, and the galaxy takes over.

In 2012, Voyager 1 passed through this transition zone and beyond the Sun's influence. Voyager 2 joined its twin spacecraft in 2018, becoming the second human-built spacecraft to reach interplanetary space. Remarkably, both reported data back to Earth. Sadly, they are going to be the last two human-built spacecraft to cross this boundary for at least a quarter of a century.

7. Rise of women in space

Let's face it, the first decades of human spaceflight were heavily tilted toward men. But over the last 10 years women have taken significant steps toward catching up.

For example, during this decade, NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson set the US record for most cumulative time in space, with more than 665 days on orbit (she still trails nine Russian male cosmonauts, but she's the only American astronaut in the top 15).

For the first time in 2013, half of NASA's new class of astronauts were women, and in 2018, the same could be said of a class of flight directors for the first time.  This year, in a sign of the increasing female presence on orbit, NASA conducted its first all-female spacewalk, when Jessica Meir and Christina Koch left the space station.

Overall, the aerospace industry remains more male than female, but women hold key leadership positions. The chief executive officers of Lockheed Martin, Marillyn Hewson, and Aerojet Rocketdyne, Eileen Drake, are women. So, too, are key leaders at other companies, including SpaceX's Gwynne Shotwell and Boeing's Leanne Caret. And organizations such as the Brooke Owens Fellowship are working diligently to train a new generation of female leaders for the industry.

This decade also saw NASA led by its first two female deputy administrators—Lori Garver and Dava Newman. In the next decade, hopefully, the agency will get its first female administrator, and NASA will succeed in going back to the Moon, bringing the fairer sex to another world.

6. Kepler and the exoplanets

This was the decade of the exoplanet. Before 2010, fewer than 100 planets had been found around other stars. And astronomers had so many questions—Were exoplanets common? Did other Earth-sized worlds exist? Are Solar Systems common or rare?

Launched in March, 2009, the Kepler Space Telescope changed all of this. The instrument studied light coming from more than half a million stars over nine years to detect periodic dimmings in their brightness due to a transiting exoplanet. Scientists have since found more than 4,000 confirmed exoplanets, with more than 600 planetary systems. Astronomers found that planetary systems around other stars come in an extraordinary variety of configurations, from large gas giants orbiting around their stars within a few days to clusters of small, rocky planets packed into tight orbits near their stars.

This is pretty astonishing and fundamental to understanding our place in the universe. Thanks to Kepler, we know that our galaxy teems with planets, at least as many as the billions of stars out there. This both increases the possibility that life may exist elsewhere and that, if one day we are capable of interstellar travel, there are many, many interesting places to go. The subsequent launches of NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (2018) and the European Space Agency's Cheops (2019) will only further our knowledge of exoplanets.

"Because of Kepler, what we think about our place in the universe has changed," Paul Hertz, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters, said last year. And he is right.

5. Rosetta

Built by the European Space Agency, the Rosetta spacecraft launched in 2004 and required several gravitational assists from Earth and Mars to catch up with Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It reached orbit around the 4km-wide comet in August, 2014, after traveling more than 8 billion km.

The mission is remarkable for a couple of reasons. It was the first spacecraft to make a controlled landing on a comet, although the mission's Philae lander was lost when its securing harpoons failed to fire after it reached the surface. Even after tumbling, the tiny lander still sent back valuable data.

The Rosetta mission was also memorable for the stunning, high quality of images it returned of the boot-shaped comet's rubble-strewn surface. We had never seen a comet like this before, so up-close and personal.

From a scientific standpoint, Rosetta confirmed that comets are remnants from when the Solar System formed, rather than fragments from later collisions. Comets therefore offer a window to 4.6 billion years ago. The program was a public relations success, too. It captured the world's attention, and we mourned its passing in 2016 after 12 years of service.

4. Falcon Heavy launch

It is not every day, or even year, that a brand new rocket takes flight. It is even more momentous when the new rocket also instantly becomes the most powerful rocket in the world. But that is what happened on February 6, 2018, when the Falcon Heavy rocket took flight for the first time.

The rocket's avionics system had to manage the flight of 27 engines at the same time, something which had not been done before. Watching it take off—slowly, very slowly—the mega-rocket began to climb away from the launch tower. Those 27 engines burned so brightly that, for a few seconds, staring at the rocket was akin to looking directly at the Sun. And yet we could not turn away.

Then there was the spectacle of the landing of the two side boosters, each a Falcon 9 rocket first stage, side by side not far from the launch site. This was something to behold. For hours afterwards, there were views of Starman in a cherry-red Tesla roadster floating away from Earth. It was hard to process everything in the moment.

The Falcon Heavy rocket has since launched twice more, making for three successful missions. The rocket has offered definitive proof that a private company can, independently, build a heavy-lift rocket without direct government oversight.

3. New Horizons

For those of us who grew up after the Voyagers sent home amazing images of the outer planets, we had never seen a major world in the Solar System revealed before our very eyes. But that is exactly what the New Horizons spacecraft did in July 2015 with Pluto—planet? Dwarf planet? Who cares, it's an amazing place.

The spacecraft's flyby of Pluto and its system of moons, including Charon, revealed a surprisingly diverse world with ice mountains, nitrogen ice flows, a ghostly atmosphere, and evidence of recent geological activity.

New Horizons is all the more significant in that the mission almost didn't happen, and it was canceled multiple times before finally launching in 2006 to meet a hard deadline. At a time when seemingly almost every major NASA project—the James Webb Space Telescope comes immediately to mind—faces long delays, the on-time launch of New Horizons seems all the more notable.

2. Curiosity

NASA had landed on Mars before. But the space agency had never landed a vehicle weighing nearly 1 metric ton on the red planet before, a mass far too heavy for the previously used parachutes and giant airbags solutions. John Holdren, the science adviser to President Obama, characterized Curiosity's landing  as "the most challenging mission ever attempted in the history of robotic exploration."

The space agency's engineers described the landing process as "seven minutes of terror," as they had seven minutes to get from the top of the atmosphere to the surface of Mars and to slow down from 13,000 miles an hour to zero. It required near perfect choreography. NASA invented a "sky crane" concept to use rocket powered engines to control its own rate of descent and lower Curiosity to the surface.

And it all worked. On August 6, 2012, the seven minutes of terror passed with high drama, but without incident. Curiosity reached the surface. And the largest rover to ever travel across Mars has been trundling along since then providing a slew of data about a world that used to be a lot more like Earth. The success of Curiosity led to development of a similar rover for the Mars 2020 mission that will launch next year. The sky crane technique may also eventually enable scientists to put a rover down on other worlds in the Solar System, such as Jupiter's icy and intriguing moon Europa.

1. Reusable rockets

Some readers will no doubt argue with this choice, but from the standpoint of both "coolness" as well as long-term power to transform spaceflight, there is no question that mastering the art of launching a rocket vertically, and landing it nearby a few minutes later, was a supreme technical achievement.

SpaceX had been experimenting with reusing a rocket's first stage since the very first flight of its Falcon 1 rocket (it had a parachute tucked into the top of the first stage), but the company did not get serious about the concept until the Falcon 9 rocket began flying. After many failures, the first successful vertical landing occurred at the end of 2015. The first landing on an automated drone ship occurred in April 2016. (Seeing a rocket, just back from space, land on a small droneship in the middle of a wide ocean is the coolest spaceflight thing I have seen in my lifetime. It felt like the future had arrived).

How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster.

NASA built the world's first reusable spacecraft in the 1970s, with the US space shuttle. The vehicle and its side-mounted boosters—but not the external fuel tank—were all reusable. But the refurbishment took months, and it required a standing army of technicians, engineers, and suppliers to make it all work. The shuttle was a technical masterpiece, but it was expensive as hell to fly, as much as $1.5 billion per mission by some estimates.

SpaceX seeks to go in a different direction with the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets, which have entirely reusable first stages as well as, increasingly, payload fairings. The company has not released detailed estimates of what it costs to turn around a Falcon 9 first stage for reuse, but SpaceX has already changed the world's mindset toward reusable rockets with 47 successful landings and counting. Increasingly, it seems anachronistic and wasteful to throw your rocket away after a single launch. And for us, that is the transformation of the decade.

Honorable mention

So many of these feats also belonged in our top 10—err 11—that it is absolutely no shame to be among the honorable mentions. Looking back on the last 10 years, it has been an absolutely magical period of space exploration. If the 2010s are any indication of where the space industry is heading, we can't wait to see what happens during the 2020s!

Launched in August, 2018, the probe broke the record for closest, controlled approach to the Sun in October 2018 when it passed within 42.7 million km of the Sun's surface.  At its closest approach in 2024, the probe is due to get within 6.2 million kilometers of the Sun's surface.

They continued to press onward and outward, eventually reaching the edge of the Solar System, where the Sun's energy stops directly affecting the environment. The Sun generates an enormous magnetic field that extends well beyond the planets and emits a stream of charged particles that stream out toward interstellar space. These influences are limited by the galaxy, which has its own magnetic field and an interstellar medium full of its own charged particles. At some point, distant from the Sun, these two influences collide: the Sun's influence weakens, and the galaxy takes over.

In 2012, Voyager 1 passed through this transition zone and beyond the Sun's influence. Voyager 2 joined its twin spacecraft in 2018, becoming the second human-built spacecraft to reach interplanetary space. Remarkably, both reported data back to Earth. Sadly, they are going to be the last two human-built spacecraft to cross this boundary for at least a quarter of a century.

7. Rise of women in space

Let's face it, the first decades of human spaceflight were heavily tilted toward men. But over the last 10 years women have taken significant steps toward catching up.

For example, during this decade, NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson set the US record for most cumulative time in space, with more than 665 days on orbit (she still trails nine Russian male cosmonauts, but she's the only American astronaut in the top 15).

For the first time in 2013, half of NASA's new class of astronauts were women, and in 2018, the same could be said of a class of flight directors for the first time.  This year, in a sign of the increasing female presence on orbit, NASA conducted its first all-female spacewalk, when Jessica Meir and Christina Koch left the space station.

Overall, the aerospace industry remains more male than female, but women hold key leadership positions. The chief executive officers of Lockheed Martin, Marillyn Hewson, and Aerojet Rocketdyne, Eileen Drake, are women. So, too, are key leaders at other companies, including SpaceX's Gwynne Shotwell and Boeing's Leanne Caret. And organizations such as the Brooke Owens Fellowship are working diligently to train a new generation of female leaders for the industry.

This decade also saw NASA led by its first two female deputy administrators—Lori Garver and Dava Newman. In the next decade, hopefully, the agency will get its first female administrator, and NASA will succeed in going back to the Moon, bringing the fairer sex to another world.

6. Kepler and the exoplanets

This was the decade of the exoplanet. Before 2010, fewer than 100 planets had been found around other stars. And astronomers had so many questions—Were exoplanets common? Did other Earth-sized worlds exist? Are Solar Systems common or rare?

Launched in March, 2009, the Kepler Space Telescope changed all of this. The instrument studied light coming from more than half a million stars over nine years to detect periodic dimmings in their brightness due to a transiting exoplanet. Scientists have since found more than 4,000 confirmed exoplanets, with more than 600 planetary systems. Astronomers found that planetary systems around other stars come in an extraordinary variety of configurations, from large gas giants orbiting around their stars within a few days to clusters of small, rocky planets packed into tight orbits near their stars.

This is pretty astonishing and fundamental to understanding our place in the universe. Thanks to Kepler, we know that our galaxy teems with planets, at least as many as the billions of stars out there. This both increases the possibility that life may exist elsewhere and that, if one day we are capable of interstellar travel, there are many, many interesting places to go. The subsequent launches of NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (2018) and the European Space Agency's Cheops (2019) will only further our knowledge of exoplanets.

"Because of Kepler, what we think about our place in the universe has changed," Paul Hertz, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters, said last year. And he is right.

5. Rosetta

Built by the European Space Agency, the Rosetta spacecraft launched in 2004 and required several gravitational assists from Earth and Mars to catch up with Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It reached orbit around the 4km-wide comet in August, 2014, after traveling more than 8 billion km.

The mission is remarkable for a couple of reasons. It was the first spacecraft to make a controlled landing on a comet, although the mission's Philae lander was lost when its securing harpoons failed to fire after it reached the surface. Even after tumbling, the tiny lander still sent back valuable data.

The Rosetta mission was also memorable for the stunning, high quality of images it returned of the boot-shaped comet's rubble-strewn surface. We had never seen a comet like this before, so up-close and personal.

From a scientific standpoint, Rosetta confirmed that comets are remnants from when the Solar System formed, rather than fragments from later collisions. Comets therefore offer a window to 4.6 billion years ago. The program was a public relations success, too. It captured the world's attention, and we mourned its passing in 2016 after 12 years of service.

4. Falcon Heavy launch

It is not every day, or even year, that a brand new rocket takes flight. It is even more momentous when the new rocket also instantly becomes the most powerful rocket in the world. But that is what happened on February 6, 2018, when the Falcon Heavy rocket took flight for the first time.

The rocket's avionics system had to manage the flight of 27 engines at the same time, something which had not been done before. Watching it take off—slowly, very slowly—the mega-rocket began to climb away from the launch tower. Those 27 engines burned so brightly that, for a few seconds, staring at the rocket was akin to looking directly at the Sun. And yet we could not turn away.

Then there was the spectacle of the landing of the two side boosters, each a Falcon 9 rocket first stage, side by side not far from the launch site. This was something to behold. For hours afterwards, there were views of Starman in a cherry-red Tesla roadster floating away from Earth. It was hard to process everything in the moment.

The Falcon Heavy rocket has since launched twice more, making for three successful missions. The rocket has offered definitive proof that a private company can, independently, build a heavy-lift rocket without direct government oversight.

3. New Horizons

For those of us who grew up after the Voyagers sent home amazing images of the outer planets, we had never seen a major world in the Solar System revealed before our very eyes. But that is exactly what the New Horizons spacecraft did in July 2015 with Pluto—planet? Dwarf planet? Who cares, it's an amazing place.

The spacecraft's flyby of Pluto and its system of moons, including Charon, revealed a surprisingly diverse world with ice mountains, nitrogen ice flows, a ghostly atmosphere, and evidence of recent geological activity.

New Horizons is all the more significant in that the mission almost didn't happen, and it was canceled multiple times before finally launching in 2006 to meet a hard deadline. At a time when seemingly almost every major NASA project—the James Webb Space Telescope comes immediately to mind—faces long delays, the on-time launch of New Horizons seems all the more notable.

2. Curiosity

NASA had landed on Mars before. But the space agency had never landed a vehicle weighing nearly 1 metric ton on the red planet before, a mass far too heavy for the previously used parachutes and giant airbags solutions. John Holdren, the science adviser to President Obama, characterized Curiosity's landing  as "the most challenging mission ever attempted in the history of robotic exploration."

The space agency's engineers described the landing process as "seven minutes of terror," as they had seven minutes to get from the top of the atmosphere to the surface of Mars and to slow down from 13,000 miles an hour to zero. It required near perfect choreography. NASA invented a "sky crane" concept to use rocket powered engines to control its own rate of descent and lower Curiosity to the surface.

An artist's concept shows the sky crane maneuver during the descent of NASA's Curiosity rover to the Martian surface.

And it all worked. On August 6, 2012, the seven minutes of terror passed with high drama, but without incident. Curiosity reached the surface. And the largest rover to ever travel across Mars has been trundling along since then providing a slew of data about a world that used to be a lot more like Earth. The success of Curiosity led to development of a similar rover for the Mars 2020 mission that will launch next year. The sky crane technique may also eventually enable scientists to put a rover down on other worlds in the Solar System, such as Jupiter's icy and intriguing moon Europa.

1. Reusable rockets

Some readers will no doubt argue with this choice, but from the standpoint of both "coolness" as well as long-term power to transform spaceflight, there is no question that mastering the art of launching a rocket vertically, and landing it nearby a few minutes later, was a supreme technical achievement.

SpaceX had been experimenting with reusing a rocket's first stage since the very first flight of its Falcon 1 rocket (it had a parachute tucked into the top of the first stage), but the company did not get serious about the concept until the Falcon 9 rocket began flying. After many failures, the first successful vertical landing occurred at the end of 2015. The first landing on an automated drone ship occurred in April 2016. (Seeing a rocket, just back from space, land on a small droneship in the middle of a wide ocean is the coolest spaceflight thing I have seen in my lifetime. It felt like the future had arrived).

How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster.

NASA built the world's first reusable spacecraft in the 1970s, with the US space shuttle. The vehicle and its side-mounted boosters—but not the external fuel tank—were all reusable. But the refurbishment took months, and it required a standing army of technicians, engineers, and suppliers to make it all work. The shuttle was a technical masterpiece, but it was expensive as hell to fly, as much as $1.5 billion per mission by some estimates.

SpaceX seeks to go in a different direction with the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets, which have entirely reusable first stages as well as, increasingly, payload fairings. The company has not released detailed estimates of what it costs to turn around a Falcon 9 first stage for reuse, but SpaceX has already changed the world's mindset toward reusable rockets with 47 successful landings and counting. Increasingly, it seems anachronistic and wasteful to throw your rocket away after a single launch. And for us, that is the transformation of the decade.

Honorable mention

So many of these feats also belonged in our top 10—err 11—that it is absolutely no shame to be among the honorable mentions. Looking back on the last 10 years, it has been an absolutely magical period of space exploration. If the 2010s are any indication of where the space industry is heading, we can't wait to see what happens during the 2020s!

Gojek Tanggapi Maia Estianty yang Tertipu Driver & Saldo GoPay Dikuras

Posted: 27 Dec 2019 05:19 AM PST


Beritaterheboh.com - Penyanyi Maia Estianty mengaku mengalami kerugian materi gara-gara akun aplikasi Gojek miliknya diretas oknum pengemudi.

Menanggapi itu, Senior Manager Corporate Affairs Gojek, Alvita Chen, mengatakan telah menghubungi Maia untuk membantu menyelesaikan kasus penipuan tersebut.


"Kami telah menghubungi Ibu Maia mengenai kasus ini dan siap membantu agar penipu dapat diusut dan ditindaklanjuti oleh pihak kepolisian," kata Alvita dalam keterangan tertulisnya yang diterima Kompas.com, Jumat (27/12/2019).

Kata dia, keamanan pengguna dan mitra adalah prioritasnya.

Pihaknya pun juga mengecam kasus penipuan yang menimpa mantan istri Ahmad Dhani itu.

"Kami mengecam kasus penipuan berbasis social engineering yang menimpa Maia Estianty," ucap Alvita.

Diberitakan sebelumnya, Selebritas Maia Estianty mengeluh lantaran ponselnya diretas pengemudi ojek online saat memesan GoFood. Gojek pun telah menghubungi Maia guna mengusut peretas tersebut.

Maia bercerita, dirinya hendak memesan GoFood kemarin (26/12). Namun, mitra pengemudi mengaku kendaraannya mogok dan mengusulkan untuk mengubah driver.

Mitra tersebut meminta kode one time password (OTP) yang masuk melalui pesan ke ponsel Maia. Tentu Maia tak memberikan kode OTP tersebut.

"Rupanya dia dapat data SMS yang saya terima. Saya tidak kasih kodenya, tetapi saldo GoPay terkuras," kata Maia melalui akun Instagram-nya @maiaestiantyreal, hari ini (27/12).

Bahkan, pelaku berhasil meretas akun Tokopedia milik Maia. Peretas juga meretas ponselnya dan menghapus aplikasi WhatsApp.

Lantas ia menelepon pusat layanan Telkomsel guna meminta kode untuk menonaktifkan upaya pemindahan data, yang tengah dilakukan pelaku. "Bisa.

Walaupun hampir saja dia masuk akun Tokopedia saya dan membeli ponsel menggunakan kartu kredit," kata dia.

Ia pun memblokir kartu kreditnya agar tidak dapat digunakan oleh pelaku. Maia berharap para startup digital seperti Gojek dan Tokopedia mengantisipasi peretasan seperti yang ia alami.

"Aplikasi-aplikasi ini memang canggih, tetapi maling jauh lebih ahli," kata Maia.

USF’s climb through the decade made it a top Florida school - Tampa Bay Times

USF's climb through the decade made it a top Florida school - Tampa Bay Times

Editor's note: This story is part of a series that examines how Tampa Bay has changed in the past decade. We will publish one story a day until Dec. 31. Read the whole package here.

The University of South Florida is entering a new era, and not just because it's the end of a decade.

The school has hit goal after goal over the last 10 years. The biggest of those — becoming the state's third "preeminent" university in 2018 — will bring more status and funding. Now with a new president — and a plan he crafted for consolidating USF's three campuses in 2020 — the school is stepping into the future with a certain confidence.

Ten years ago, U.S. News & World Report put USF at No. 101 among the nation's public universities. Now, it's tied for 44th, and one of the fastest-rising universities in the country.

The school is enrolling more advanced students and graduating them faster than ever, hitting a 61 percent four-year graduation rate this year. And more students than ever live on campus, including in St. Petersburg, where a 375-bed residence hall will be complete next summer.

At the same time, USF's annual research expenditures have reached nearly $600 million — about a 50 percent increase from the beginning of the decade.

Major gifts to the university have fueled growth, too, as USF reached $514 million in endowments this year. The largest of those donations have made possible the Muma College of Business, the Patel Center for Global Solutions, the future Judy Genshaft Honors College, the Kate Tiedemann College of Business in St. Petersburg and the soon-to-open tower in downtown Tampa that will house the Morsani College of Medicine and Heart Institute and the Taneja College of Pharmacy.

Steve Currall, who became USF's seventh president in July, said part of what drew him to the job was the university's quick elevation in recent years.

"I continue to be deeply impressed," he wrote in a statement. "The impact of USF's achievements during the past 10 years is a key reason why the world's top talent chooses to live and work in the Tampa Bay region."

Five things to watch over the next 10 years:

Accessibility: There's a down side to becoming a preeminent university and consolidating campuses: USF is harder to get into now, and that's starting to shut out many local students who could have counted on the school as a safe option in the past. How will USF meet its ambitions and still stay accessible?

Getting into USF these days requires a higher GPA and a better SAT score than in the past. "There was a time many moons ago where we opened the door to all comers and we swept them all in," Provost Ralph Wilcox said. But too many students weren't ready, he said, and "frankly hadn't earned their right" to be at USF. [Times (2018)]

Consolidation: It's the biggest issue at USF right now, and the controversial process will be complete in July. Will consolidation help or hurt the university's smaller campuses in St. Petersburg and Sarasota?

The process sparked fears that the St. Petersburg and Sarasota branch campuses would lose programs and clout to the main campus in Tampa. But a revised plan by new president Steve Currall has set more people at ease. [SCOTT KEELER | Times]

Leadership: Steve Currall, who took over for long-time president Judy Genshaft in July, says he's here for the long haul. How long will that be? And what new initiatives will define USF's Currall era?

Football: USF fans have long pushed for a football stadium on the Tampa campus. Currall has said he sees their point but insists other priorities must come first. Will another decade pass before the wish for a home field comes true?

A financial feasibility study found that after initial donations and borrowing, an additional $110 million would be needed to pay for the facility. So a project like that will be an uphill climb financially. [Courtesy of USF]

Prosperity: USF's medical, business and athletic programs have been bolstered by private donations. As the university continues to mature with a growing community of alumni, will more of them step up with big gifts?

Pelaku Penyiraman Air Keras Novel Baswedan Ditangkap, Ini Rangkaian Investigasi Polisi

Posted: 27 Dec 2019 04:19 AM PST


Beritaterheboh.com - Dua terduga pelaku penyiraman air keras terhadap Novel Baswedan langsung ditetapkan sebagai tersangka. Saat ini keduanya masih menjalani pemeriksaan intensif di Polda Metro Jaya.

"Tadi pagi sudah ditetapkan sebagai tersangka. Tadi siang dilakukan pemeriksaan bagi tersangka," ucap Karo Penmas Divisi Humas Polri Brigjen Argo Yuwono di Polda Metro Jaya, Jumat (27/12/2019).

Dua tersangka itu berinisial RM dan RB. Kabareskrim Komjen Listyo Sigit Prabowo sebelumnya menyebut keduanya merupakan anggota kepolisian aktif.

"Jadi pelaku ada dua orang, inisial RM dan RB, Polri aktif, terima kasih," ucap Listyo.

Novel mengalami insiden penyiraman air keras pada 11 April 2017. Saat itu Novel baru saja menunaikan salat Subuh di Masjid Al-Ihsan, yang berjarak sekitar 4 rumah dari kediamannya di Jalan Deposito, Kelapa Gading, Jakarta Utara. Hingga hari ini berarti sudah 990 hari kasus itu diusut polisi.

Penyerang Novel Baswedan Ditangkap, Ini Rangkaian Investigasi Polisi

Polri menangkap pelaku penyiraman air keras terhadap penyidik senior KPK, Novel Baswedan. Sebelum menangkap pelaku, polisi sudah berulang kali melakukan olah tempat kejadian perkara (TKP).

"Bahwa penyidik telah mengamankan 2 terduga pelaku. Setelah kita melalui penyelidikan panjang dan kemudian juga penyidikan-penyelidikan. Dan penyidik juga melakukan olah TKP prarekon 7 kali," kata Karo Penmas Divisi Humas Polri Brigjen Argo Yuwono di Mapolda Metro Jaya, Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Jakarta, Jumat (27/12/2019).

Argo mengatakan pihaknya juga sudah memeriksa puluhan saksi. Polisi juga bekerja sama dengan sejumlah instansi untuk mengungkap kasus teror air keras ke Novel.

"Kemudian juga memeriksa beberapa saksi yang sekitar 73 saksi. Tim teknis, tim pakar yang kemudian kita ada kerja sama berbagai instansi, Labfor, Inafis, dan kemudian hasil penyelidikan sehingga dari informasi tadi malam kita mengamankan terduga pelaku," ujar dia.

Polisi kemudian mengamankan dua terduga pelaku berinisial RM dan RB di Cimanggis, Depok. Saat ini keduanya sudah ditetapkan sebagai tersangka.

"Kemudian kita bawa ke Polda Metro Jaya tentunya Polda Metro Jaya dan kedua pelaku ini akan dilakukan interogasi. Tadi pagi jadi tersangka. Tadi siang pemeriksaan sebagai tersangka dan ada pendampingan hukum dari Mabes Polri. Bersabar ini sedang pemeriksaan awal.

赤ちゃんがストローを使えるのはいつから? 練習方法や注意点も紹介 - ウーマンエキサイト

Posted: 27 Dec 2019 02:28 AM PST

2019年12月27日 16:00|ウーマンエキサイト

赤ちゃんは成長するにつれて離乳食を食べたり、自分で飲み物を飲んだりするようになります。ストローについてはいつから使うのでしょうか?使い始める時期・練習方法・注意点・おすすめのストローについて紹介します。

ストローはいつから使える?練習方法も

赤ちゃんがストローを使えるのはいつから? 練習方法や注意点も紹介 「ママ友が赤ちゃんにストローマグを使っているのを見た。うちもそろそろ始めないと…!」よその子がやっているのを見ると、焦ってしまうママは多いことでしょう。

そもそも赤ちゃんはストローをいつから使えるのでしょうか?どんなふうに練習するかも合わせて、見ていきましょう。

対象年齢は8ヶ月ごろから


市販のストローマグには、対象年齢は8~9ヶ月ごろからとの表示がある物が多くなっています。ちょうどこの時期は離乳食に慣れてくると共に、「母乳・ミルク」での水分補給から「水・麦茶」への切り替えのタイミングといえるでしょう。

ただし、赤ちゃんの成長は個人差が大きいものです。赤ちゃんの様子を見ながら、焦らず開始時期を決めいきましょう。

練習は6ヶ月ごろからしても


ママの中には、離乳食を始める6ヶ月ごろから、ストローの練習を同時に始める人もいます。ストローマグと哺乳瓶の中間的存在ともいえる「スパウト」を使うママも多いようです。

スパウトは、下向きでしか飲めないストローと違って、赤ちゃんが上を向いた姿勢でも飲めることが特長ですが、哺乳瓶よりも強い力で吸わない飲めない構造になっています。

そのため、ストローを練習する前のステップとして、よい導入方法といえるでしょう。

ストローを使う練習方法


まずは赤ちゃんをストローに慣れさせることが大切です。ママがストローをくわえるところを見せ興味を持たせながら、赤ちゃんにストローをくわえさせる練習から始めましょう。

ストローを嫌がらなくなったら、紙パック飲料で練習します。赤ちゃんがストローをくわえたときにパックの側面を軽く押して、ストローから飲み物が口に入ってくる体験をさせます。

ストローから飲み物が出ることを学んだら、今度は自分で吸って飲み込むことを練習させます。最初は飲み物を吐き出したり泣いたりすることもあるかもしれませんが、根気よく続けましょう。

おすすめのストローマグをチェック

赤ちゃんがストローを使えるのはいつから? 練習方法や注意点も紹介

実際にストローマグを購入するにはどんな物がよいのでしょうか?

ストローは柔らかい・丈夫・交換可能・洗いやすいといった点で選ぶとよいでしょう。ストローマグは、軽くて危なくない・液体がもれにくい・赤ちゃんが自分で持ちやすい点がポイントです。

ここでは先輩ママのおすすめストローマグを3点紹介します。

サーモス 真空断熱ベビーストローマグ


真空断熱の魔法びん構造で保冷効果が高く、夏でも飲み物を冷たくキープします。もれにくく、結露しない点もうれしいですね。

シリコン製ボディーグリップがあるので、赤ちゃんも持ちやすいですよ!丸洗いもOKなので衛生的です。

グロウハンドル付ストローカップ


赤ちゃんが飲みやすいアーモンド形の飲み口が特長です。ストローには弁が付いている上ふたもあるので、二重構造でもれにくいので、持ち運びにも便利ですよ!食洗器・煮沸・漂白が可能な点も衛生的で使いやすいでしょう。

赤ちゃんの成長に合わせて、スパウト・ストロー・コップ飲みのトレーニングまで使えます。ストローなどの替え製品も充実しているので、長く使える点がうれしいですね。

コンビ テテオ マグストロー バルーン Neo


飲み口とハンドルが斜めになっており、マグを傾けたり顔を上に向けたりしなくても飲みやすいように工夫がされています。

カチッと締まるキャップがもれを防止し、ストラップも付いているのでお出かけにもピッタリです。

煮沸・電子レンジ・薬液による消毒・除菌がOKで、スパウト・コップ飲み用パーツも販売されているので、長く衛生的に使いたいと願うママにおすすめです。

ストローで遊ぶ・むせる?注意点を確認

赤ちゃんがストローを使えるのはいつから? 練習方法や注意点も紹介
ここでは赤ちゃんのストロー練習のときの注意点を2つ紹介します。安全を確保することはもちろん、赤ちゃんのペースに合わせた練習方法が大切です。

赤ちゃんにとっては初めてのことで大きなチャレンジでもあります。ママは見ていて歯がゆいこともあるかもしれませんが、気長に構えましょう。

練習は必ず大人の目が届くところで


赤ちゃんは紙パック飲料などに刺してあるストローを抜いて振り回したり、マグを落としたり倒したりして遊ぶことがあります。

口の中や目をストローで刺す・マグが赤ちゃんに当たってしまうなどの事故が起きないために、必ず大人が見ているところで練習させましょう。

嫌がる・むせる場合は無理しないで


ストロー練習で大切なことは、赤ちゃんに強要しないことです。特に、練習を始めたばかりの頃は嫌がったり、上手に吸えずに吐いたりむせたりすることも多いでしょう。

どうしても赤ちゃんが嫌がる場合には、まだ準備ができていないのかもしれません。少しお休み期間を置いて再トライするなどしましょう。

ストローでママも赤ちゃんも楽ちんに

赤ちゃんがストローを使えるのはいつから? 練習方法や注意点も紹介

ストローがあると、お出かけのときなどの水分補給がずいぶんスムーズになります。ママも赤ちゃんも楽になれるし、成長したなと実感もできるでしょう。

でも、初めてのことは誰だって最初から完璧にできるわけではありません。赤ちゃんも一生懸命トライするのです。

上手にくわえられた・少し吸えたといったように、進歩が見られたときにはたくさん褒めてあげましょう。赤ちゃんにとっては、ママの笑顔と励ましの声が何よりのやる気の種となるでしょう。

Akun @digeeembok Bongkar Lagi Sumber Penghasilannya, Sidi Siwi Kutip Ayat Alquran Gegara Terdzalimi

Posted: 27 Dec 2019 01:49 AM PST


Beritaterheboh.com - Siwi Sidi, pramugari cantik ini terus mendapat komentar negatif dan cibiran dari netizen. Hal ini berkaitan dengan kasus yang menimpa maskapai Garuda Indonesia, tempatnya bekerja.


Siwi Sidi terus dituduh dan disebut sebagai simpanan petinggi maskapai tersebut. Isu ini mulanya mencuat dari pengakuan akun anonim di Twitter, @digeeembok. Siwi bahkan dituding memakai uang negara untuk menjalani kehidupan mewahnya.



Namun tuduhan itu telah dibantah Siwi Sidi. Dia menegaskan kalau dirinya tidak ada hubungan dengan siapapun yang berkaitan dengan negara, apalagi memakai uang negara seperti yang dituduhkan akun Twitter tersebut.


Tapi kini, nama Siwi Sidi kembali ramai diperbincangkan setelah akun tersebut semakin menjadi-jadi bahkan sampai menyinggung soal orang tua dan masa lalu Siwi. Akun itu bahkan menyebut kalau Siwi sudah pernah menikah. Terkait hal ini, Siwi Sidi pun memberikan tanggapan yang cukup santai. Seperti apa? Berikut ulasannya.



Berbagai tudingan miring yang menimpanya, dihadapi Siwi Sidi dengan cukup bijaksana. Alih-alih marah dan membalas dengan emosional, Siwi lebih memilih untuk langsung melaporkan akun Twitter tersebut ke pihak kepolisian dengan menggandeng sejumlah pengacara.


Meski begitu, tudingan-tudingan itu tetap membuat Siwi Sidi merasa terzalimi. Melalui Instastory-nya, Siwi pun mengutip ayat Al-Quran yang menggambarkan kondisinya sekarang. Ayat tersebut menjelaskan tentang dosa apabila berprasangka buruk pada orang lain.


"Surat Hujurat Ayah 12. 'Wahai orang-orang beriman jauhilah banyaknya prasangka sesungguhnya sebagian prasangka itu dosa, janganlah kalian mencari-cari kesalahan, jangan menggunjing sebagian terhadap sebagian, apakah engkau senang jika makan bangkai saudaranya? Maka kalian membencinya, dan takutlah kepada Allah sesungguhnya Allah menerima taubat dan Maha penyayang'," tulisnya yang dibagikan ulang akun gosip @tante.officially.


Siapkan buktikan tidak bersalah




Tidak hanya itu, Siwi Sidi kembali mengutip ayat Al-Quran yang memanjatkan doa agar para netizen berhenti dan segera bertobat. "Surah Asy Syuuraa 'Doakanlah untuk si zalim agar ia menjadi sadar dan bertobat'," sambung Siwi Sidi di unggahannya yang lain.


Siwi pun memberi pesan agar publik tidak mudah percaya dengan Twitter anonim tersebut. Pasalnya, akun itu tidak memiliki bukti atas tuduhannya. Dia pun mengatakan akan segera membuktikan dirinya tidak bersalah.


"Kalau kalian Pintar, Baca akun digembok psikopat itu dengan hati dan pikiran kalian, Baca dengan tenang, apa kalian sadar itu smua yg ditulis cuma dari segi si dia itu, nytanya smpai skrg ga ad bukti kalau ak GUNDIK dan hal lain2 yg berkaitan aku 100% akan buktikan. Smua sdg memprosesnya, ak rasa kalian org yg cerdas, coba urutkan dari bawah awal mulanya," tandas Siwi Sidi sebagaimana dilansir dari intipseleb.com


Sementara itu akun twitter @digeeembok terus saja memblow up soal Sidi Siwi.

Berikut ini postingan terbaru cuitan akun twitter @digeeembok

Top Boeing Lawyer to Retire at Year’s End - Wall Street Journal

Top Boeing Lawyer to Retire at Year's End - Wall Street Journal

Boeing Co. BA -0.92% said Thursday that longtime general counsel Mike Luttig, a close adviser to ousted CEO Dennis Muilenburg, planned to retire next week as the aerospace giant reshuffles its executive ranks.

Mr. Luttig served as Boeing's general counsel from 2006 until May.

Since then, the 65-year-old has been advising the board on strategic matters and leading its legal efforts related to the twin crashes of 737 MAX jetliners that led to the plane's grounding and the biggest crisis in the company's 103-year history. The accidents took a total of 346 lives and have been linked to flawed design work.

Boeing said Mr. Luttig's retirement had been long considered. His departure is the fourth from Boeing's executive council. Mr. Muilenburg resigned this week, replaced initially by longtime financial chief Greg Smith and then on Jan. 13 by David Calhoun, a veteran industry executive who's been on the board since 2009.

Others that have left the council since the crashes include Kevin McAllister, who was removed as head of the company's jetliner business, and Anne Toulouse, who is stepping down at year's end as senior vice president of communications.

Before joining Boeing, Mr. Luttig served 15 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and was once in the running to be nominated as a Supreme Court justice. 

In 2018, Mr. Luttig's total pay at Boeing, including bonuses and stock awards, was valued at $7.8 million.

Global aviation regulators grounded the MAX in March after a fatal accident in Ethiopia—the second one for the MAX, following one less than five months earlier in Indonesia.

Viral Video Anak Punk Diusir Polsuska, Begini Klarifikasi PT KAI

Posted: 26 Dec 2019 11:49 PM PST


Beritaterheboh.com - Beredar video Polisi Khusus Kereta Api (Polsuska) diduga melakukan penganiayaan kepada salah satu penumpang kereta api di media sosial. Terlihat, petugas mengusir anak muda yang bergaya punk agar turun dari kereta.

Awalnya, video diduga penganiayaan itu diunggah oleh akun ???????????????????? @ricky_Hf pada Rabu, 25 Desember 2019. Menurut info, anak-anak punk naik kereta api dan dipaksa turun dengan alasan mengganggu kenyamanan penumpang lain.

"Walaupun mereka ada tiket dan duduk di kursi yang betul. Andai mengganggu, kan bisa dengan cara baik bukan pake pistol, mengapa tidak dibuat aturan jika anak punk tidak boleh naik KA!?," tulis akun Ricky yang dikutip pada Kamis, 26 Desember 2019.

Kemudian, akun Ricky kembali menempelkan link video lengkap youtube dengan judul 'VIRAL SECURITI KERETA API MENODONG PISTOL KEPADA ANAK PUNK!!!'.

"Nih lanjutan pidio anak punk di KA. Tonton sampai abis, terus simpulkan sendiri dan jangan dishare kesimpulannya," tulisnya.

Dari video tersebut, sempat terjadi cekcok antara anak punk dengan Polsuska hingga diduga petugas tersebut menodongkan senjata api. Padahal, anak punk ini juga bayar seperti penumpang lainnya.

"Kami bayar. Bapak menodong dengan pistol," ucap penumpang anak punk.

Klarifikasi PT Kereta Api Indonesia

Kepala Humas PT KAI Daops I, Eva Chairunisa membenarkan beredarnya video yang viral diduga petugas mengusir penumpang anak punk. Namun, ia memberikan klarifikasi terkait kronologi kejadian tersebut.

"Iya betul. Kejadian berlangsung pada 8 November 2019 di KA Lokal Rangkasbitung-Merak nomor 472," kata Eva saat dikonfirmasi VIVA, Kamis, 26 Desember 2019.

Eva mengklarifikasi tidak ada aksi pemukulan petugas Polsuska kepada penumpang, termasuk tidak ada penodongan pistol. Menurut dia, awalnya ada pengaduan dari beberapa penumpang yang merasa tidak nyaman dengan perilaku sekelompok penumpang yang berjumlah sekitar 25 orang. 

"Dalam aduannya, mereka dianggap mengganggu ketertiban dan berjalan mondar-mandir di kereta," ujarnya.

Selanjutnya, kata Eva, Petugas Polsuska langsung menuju tempat aduan untuk kemudian menegur mereka secara baik-baik, tapi respons dari rombongan tersebut tidak kooperatif dan bahkan menantang petugas.

"Saat diimbau mereka tidak koperatif. Untuk itu, petugas bertindak untuk menertibkan," jelas dia.

Bukan pistol, tapi senjata kejut

Eva juga menjelaskan, benda yang dikeluarkan petugas Polsuska bukan senjata api atau pistol, tapi itu senjata kejut untuk pengamanan diri.

"Sebab, jumlah rombongan tersebut cukup banyak. Tindakan tersebut juga dilakukan untuk berjaga-jaga dari kemungkinan alat itu direbut atau disalahgunakan," kata Eva.

Pada akhirnya, petugas Polsuska bertindak tegas dengan menurunkan beberapa penumpang yang membuat kegaduhan. Setelah itu, perjalanan KA kembali dilanjutkan.

"PT KAI Daop 1 Jakarta berharap agar para penumpang senantiasa menjaga ketertiban selama dalam perjalanan, sehingga tidak menggangu kenyamanan penumpang lainnya," tutur Eva.(viva.co.id)

Ogah Gandeng KPK, Kejagung Mau Tangani Sendiri Skandal Jiwasraya. Ini 10 Orang Yang Dicekal

Posted: 26 Dec 2019 11:19 PM PST

Beritaterheboh.com - Kejaksaan Agung memastikan bakal terus mengusut kasus kerugian Jiwasraya yang sekarang sudah masuk ke tahap penyidikan dengan potensi tersangka 10 orang. Kekinian mereka sudah dicekal.

Hal itu dikatakan Jaksa Agung ST Burhanuddin saat menanggapi keinginan Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulayni untuk menggandeng aparat penegak hukum lainnya, yakni Polri dan KPK untuk turut mengungkap kasus Jiwasraya. Burhanuddin beruhar bahwa ia belum mendengar langsung keinginan Sri Mulyani.

"Sampai saat ini saya belum mendengar kami akan gandeng tangan, yang pasti kami akan tangani sendiri ini sudah tahap penyidikan ini ya," ujar Burhanuddin di Kejaksaan Agung, Jakarta, Jumat (27/12/2019).

Sebelumnya, Jaksa Muda Tindak Pidana Khusus Adi Togarisman mengatakan bahwa 10 orang yang berpotensi tersangka bakal diperiksa pada pekan depan secara bergantian. Baru setelah itu pada awal Januari, Kejaksaan Agung bakal memanggil kembali secara keseluruhan orang-orang yang terkait Jiwasraya untuk diminta keterangan. Jumlahnya sampai 24 orang.

Diketahui, Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani Indrawati mengatakan akan melibatkan aparat penegak hukum dalam kasus gagal bayar polis asuransi Jiwasraya jika ada unsur pidana dalam masalah tersebut.

Hal tersebut dikatakan Sri Mulyani usai Melakukan Rapat Dengar Pendapat (RDP) dengan Komisi VI DPR RI dan juga manajemen PT Asuransi Jiwasraya, di Gedung DPR RI, Jakarta, Senin (16/12/2019).

"Langkah-langkah yang bisa dilakukan kami menengarai di situ ada hal-hal yang sifatnya kriminal, maka kami akan minta aparat penegak hukum lakukan penanganan sesuai peraturan perundang-undangan," kata Sri Mulyani.


Pekan Depan, Kejagung Panggil 25 Orang Terkait Skandal Jiwasraya


Kejaksaan Agung menjadwalkan pemanggilan kepada 10 orang terduga atau berpotensi tersangka dalam kasus Jiwasraya. Sebelumnya diketahui mereka telah dicekal ke luar negeri sejak Kamis (26/12/2019) malam.

Jaksa Muda Tindak Pidana Khusus Adi Togarisman mengatakan bahwa 20 orang yang berpotensi tersangka bakal diperiksa pada pekan depan secara bergantian. Baru setelah itu pada awal Januari, Kejaksaan Agung bakal memanggil kembali secara keseluruhan orang-orang yang terkait Jiwasraya untuk diminta keterangan.

"Terjadwal nanti hari Senin, hari Selasa depan. Kemudian nanti tanggal 6, 7, 8 kita panggil secara keseluruhan. Jadi semua jumlah sekitar 25 orang," kata Adi di Kejaksaan Agung, Jakarta, Jumat (27/12/2019).

Namun Adi tidak membeberkan siapa-siapa saja dan dan dari unsur mana saja orang yang dipanggil tersebut.

Jaksa Agung ST Burhanuddin menyatakan bahwa Kejaksaan Agung telah meminta pihak imigrasi untuk melakukan pencekalan terhadap 10 orang terkait kasus kerugian Jiwasraya.

Namun, Burhanuddin enggan membeberkan dari unsur mana saja 10 orang yang dicekal. Ia hanya menyebutkan inisial, yakni HR, DYA, HP, NZ, DW, GL, GR, HD, BT, dan HS.

"Jadi kita sudah minta untuk pencegahan ke luar negeri, cekal itu untuk 10 orang. 10 orang Kita mulai minta cegah tangkal dan tadi malam sudah dicekal," kata Burhanuddin di Kejaksaan Agung, Jakarta, Jumat (27/12/2019).

Meski tidak mengungkapkan apa dasar pencekalan dilajukan, namun Burhanuudin berujar bahwa tindakan pencekalan diambil mengingat 10 irang tersebut berpotensi menjadi tersangka pada kasus Jiwasraya.

"Ya betul potensi untuk tersangka," ujar Burhanuddin.(suara.com)

Curhat Nyesek Abdul Rohim Ditolak Daftar KJP, Gegara Nama Dicatut Pemilik Lamborghini Koboy

Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:49 PM PST

Beritaterheboh.com - Abdul Rochim (48) kaget saat namanya dicatut oleh penodong pistol ke anak SMA di Kemang, Abdul Malik, untuk STNK mobil mewah berjenis Lamborghini.

Buruh pembuat roti yang tinggal di gang sempit di Jalan Cipulir 1, Jakarta Selatan, itu bahkan tidak pernah seumur hidupnya melihat kendaraan mewah tersebut.

"Jangankan buat punya ya, bentuknya aja saya enggak pernah lihat seumur-umur," ujar Abdul saat kumparan temui di rumahnya, Kamis (26/12) malam.

Dia teringat sering kali ditolak saat mendaftarkan Kartu Jakarta Pintar untuk putra sulungnya yang saat ini kelas 3 SD. Ia berpikir, mungkin saja pencatutan namanya di STNK Lamborghini itu menjadikan dirinya ditolak.

"Iya daftar KJP udah sering ditolak, mungkin dikira mampu," ujar Abdul.

"Beberapa kali ngajuin KJP enggak dapat. Mungkin gara-gara itu," timpal Eti, istri Abdul.


Eti juga ingat, dua petugas pajak pernah mendatangi rumah mereka. Saat itu, petugas tersebut menyerahkan surat yang menerangkan bahwa mereka menunggak pajak mobil.

"Ini pernah ada petugas pajak yang datang dua orang, bilang ada pajak mobil. Pajak apaan, orang saya enggak punya kendaraan," ujarnya.

"Itu udah lebih setahun, saya belum punya anak yang kecil. Saya enggak mau nerima, kata Bapak itu 'terima aja Bu siapa tahu bapaknya minjaminKTP'. Saya terima, saya nanya bapaknya," jelas Eti.

Catatan kriminal pemilik mobil Lamborghini, Abdul Malik, kini semakin panjang. Tak hanya menodongkan pistolnya ke dua anak SMA di Kemang saja, Abdul Malik juga mencatut nama orang lain di STNK mobil mewahnya untuk menghindari pajak.(kumparan.com)

Protes Pernyataan Mahfud MD, Munarman Sebut Penodaan Agama: Kok Bawa-bawa Malaikat?

Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:19 PM PST


Beritaterheboh.com - Menko Polhukam Mahfud Md mengatakan surat keterangan terdaftar (SKT) Front Pembela Islam (FPI) tidak bisa dimintakan pihak lain untuk diterbitkan, termasuk MUI maupun malaikat. FPI menyebut Mahfud Md bakal minta ampun jika benar didatangi malaikat pencabut nyawa, Izrail.

"He-he-he... penodaan agama tuh... pakai bawa-bawa malaikat. Nanti kalau didatangi malaikat Izrail beneran, baru minta-minta ampun," kata Sekretaris Umum FPI Munarman dalam keterangannya, untuk menjawab pernyataan Mahfud Md, Jumat (27/12/2019).


Munarman menyebut pihaknya saat ini mengalami kesulitan dalam hal komunikasi karena berhadapan dengan pihak yang disebutnya tidak konsisten. Munarman menegaskan FPI telah menjalankan semua proses terkait perpanjangan SKT.

"Kita sekarang ini susah ngomong karena berhadapan dengan orang-orang plinplan, berubah-ubah omongannya, dan berkarakter penjilat. Takutnya nanti kalau dilayani malah jadi tambah keram otak orang-orang tersebut," sebut Munarman.

Munarman menyatakan terbit-tidaknya perpanjangan SKT FPI bukan urusan mereka lagi. Dia kembali menyinggung pernyataan Mahfud Md soal malaikat.

"Yang jelas, posisi FPI sudah menyerahkan semua berkas administrasi ke pihak yang berwenang. Urusan mau diterbitkan atau tidak SKT tersebut sudah bukan urusan kami. Dan FPI bukan berkarakter penjilat dan pengemis seperti orang yang bawa-bawa malaikat itu. Itu orang nggak ngerti sama sekali dengan negara hukum artinya. Kami abaikan saja," ucap Munarman.

Mahfud Md sebelumnya menyebut SKT itu terbit jika FPI memang meminta dan memenuhi syarat. Dia menegaskan urusan SKT ini tak bisa dimintakan oleh pihak lain.

"Jadi tadi yang hendak tanya SKT itu, surat keterangan terdaftar itu nggak bisa diminta oleh orang lain, termasuk oleh Majelis Ulama sekalipun, termasuk oleh malaikat sekalipun kalau FPI sendirinya tidak meminta," kata Mahfud kepada wartawan di kantor Kemenko Polhukam, Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Jakarta Pusat, Kamis (26/12).

Sebut Jokowi Jangan Kapok Penjarakannya, Ratna Sarumpaet 'Disemprot' Ngabalin

Posted: 26 Dec 2019 09:19 PM PST


Beritaterheboh.com -  Ratna Sarumpaet berharap Presiden Joko Widodo (Jokowi) kapok memenjarakannya karena usianya yang sudah tua. Tenaga Ahli Kantor Staf Presiden (KSP) Ali Mochtar Ngabalin menganggap pernyataan Ratna itu menyesatkan.

"Jadi kalau dia mengeluarkan pernyataan itu, itu adalah pernyataan yang sesat dan menyesatkan kepada publik Tanah Air. Tidak boleh," kata Ngabalin saat dihubungi, Jumat (27/12/2019).



Dia menegaskan, Jokowi sebagai presiden tak ada campur tangan dalam kasus yang membuat Ratna mendekam di penjara. Ngabalin mengatakan, hukuman yang diterima Ratna merupakan akibat dari perbuatannya yang tak tunduk pada hukum.

"Jadi presiden sebagai kepala negara tak mungkin bisa mengatur pengadilan. Kedua siapapun dan apapun pangkat dan jabatannya mesti tunduk di bawah ketentuan hukum dan perundang-undangan di tanah air. Kalau lah dari awal seperti itu yang dilakukan oleh Ratna Sarumpaet, tidak mungkin bisa disangkakan dan bisa dihukum," ujarnya.

Ngabalin menilai Ratna belum bisa melupakan situasi ketika dia tersandung kasus hoax. Dia juga menganggap Ratna belum sadar atas kesalahannya itu.

"Yang pertama dia belum move on. Kedua dia tidak sadar dan tidak tahu akan dirinya melakukan kesalahan dan kebohongan publik. Karena kalau dia mengeluarkan pernyataan bahwa biar Jokowi kapok, memang Pak Jokowi yang bikin dia masuk penjara?" tutur Ngabalin.

Ratna Sarumpaet sebelumnya mengatakan akan tetap mengkritik pemerintah usai bebas bersyarat dari kasus hoax. Dia berharap Presiden Joko Widodo (Jokowi) kapok memenjarakannya lantaran usianya yang sudah tua.

"Itu kan tabiat saya. Jadi saya rasa mudah-mudahan Pak Jokowi juga kapok memenjarakan saya. Nggak ada gunanya juga, saya orang tua. Masa kalau saya mengkritik terus saya dimarahin lagi, nggak boleh begitu dong. Kita negara demokrasi," kata Ratna di rumahnya di Jl Kampung Melayu Kecil, Bukit Duri, Tebet, Jakarta Selatan, Kamis (26/12/2019).(detik.com)

Terbongkar! Sederet Masalah Baru yang Bayangi Koboi Lamborghini Kemang

Posted: 26 Dec 2019 07:49 PM PST

Beritaterheboh.com - Bagai jatuh tertimpa tangga, itulah gambaran nasib pemobil Lamborghini Abdul Malik. Kasus penodongan pistol di Kemang belum kelar, pengusaha ini diduga tersandung masalah baru yang kini ditelusuri polisi.

Satu per satu masalah baru itu terungkap polisi saat mengusut kasus penodongan pistol Abdul Malik kepada dua pelajar yang terjadi di kawasan Kemang, Jakarta Selatan, pada Sabtu 21 Desember 2019. Saat itu, bak koboi jalanan, Abdul Malik bahkan melepaskan tembakan ke arah atas dan mengakibatkan pelajar trauma.


Pemilik Lamborghini warna oranye bernopol bernomor polisi B 27 AYR akhirnya ditangkap dan ditetapkan sebagai tersangka oleh polisi. Polisi melalukan tes urine terhadap pelaku, hasilnya Abdul Malik dinyatakan positif mengkonsumsi ganja. Abdul Malik mengaku perbuatan koboinya di bawah pengaruh ganja.


Polisi kemudian menindaklanjuti kasus Abdul Malik dan melakukan penggeledahan di rumahnya di Jalan Jambu, Pejaten Barat, Pasar Minggu, Jakarta Selatan, pada Kamis 26 Desember 2019. Polisi mengantongi sejumlah barang bukti yang kini ditelusuri asal usulnya. Abdul Malik kini ditahan di Polres Jakarta Selatan.

Berikut 3 Masalah Baru Koboi Lamborghini Kemang:

Simpan Puluhan Amunisi Senpi


Rumah Abdul Malik, koboi jalanan ber-Lamborghini yang berlokasi di di Jalan Jambu, Pejaten Barat, Pasar Minggu, Jakarta Selatan, digeledah personel Polres Jakarta Selayani. Hasilnya, polisi menemukan puluhan amunisi senjata api (senpi).

"Temuan 10 peluru panjang kaliber 5,56; 11 peluru pendek kaliber 9; dan 1 peluru pendek masih utuh," kata Kasat Reskrim Polres Metro Jakarta Selatan Kompol Andi Sinjaya Ghalib, Kamis (26/12/2019).


Polisi saat ini mendalami keterkaitan Abdul Malik dengan puluhan peluru tajam tersebut. Polisi juga akan mengecek ada atau tidaknya izin kepemilikan peluru tersebut.

Koleksi Satwa Langka Diawetkan


Tidak hanya amunisi, polisi menemukan beragam koleksi hewan langka yang diawetkan (offset) di rumah Abdul Malik tersebut.

Kasat Reskrim Polres Jaksel Kompol Andi Sinjaya menyebutkan hewan yang diawetkan tersebut adalah kepala rusa jenis Bawean, burung cenderawasih, buaya muara, dan harimau yang diduga harimau Sumatera. "Kami akan mendalami untuk dugaan tindak pidana menyimpan satwa dilindungi di rumah tersangka AM," kata Andi.

Koleksi satwa langka yang diawetkan itu akhirnya disita polisi. Menurut Andi, Abdul Malik bisa dijerat dengan Pasal 40 (2) juncto Pasal 21 (2) huruf b dan d, setiap orang dilarang untuk: Huruf b: menyimpan, memiliki, memelihara, mengangkut, dan memperniagakan satwa yang dilindungi dalam keadaan mati. Huruf d : memperniagakan, menyimpan, atau memiliki kulit, tubuh atau bagian-bagian lain satwa yang dilindungi atau barang-barang yang dibuat dari bagian-bagian satwa tersebut atau mengeluarkannya dari suatu tempat di Indonesia ke tempat lain di dalam atau di luar Indonesia.

"Bisa terancam pidana penjara maksimal 5 tahun dan denda maksimal Rp 100 juta," jelas Andi.

Asal usul koleksi hewan-hewan yang diawetkan itu diusut polisi. "Iya, dibeli," ujar Kapolres Jakarta Selatan Kombes Bastoni Purnama di Jl Jambu, Pejaten Barat, Pasar Minggu, Jaksel, Kamis (26/12/2019).

Bastoni menuturkan tersangka Abdul Malik mendapatkan koleksinya tersebut bukan dari hasil buruan. Bastoni menyebut polisi masih mendalami sejak kapan pelaku mengoleksi offset hewan tersebut.

Porsche hingga Land Cruiser


Bukan hanya punya Lamborghini, Abdul Malik ternyata memiliki dua mobil mewah lainnya. Polisi akan mengecek kelengkapan surat dan pajak kendaraan itu.


"Menurut keterangan yang bersangkutan, itu ada satu lagi Porsche, terus ada Land Cruiser, sama ada beberapa lagi. Nanti kita cek lagi," ujar Kasat Reskrim Polres Jaksel Kompol Andi Sinjaya kepada wartawan di Jl Jambu, Pejaten Barat, Pasar Minggu, Jakarta Selatan, Kamis (26/12/2019).


Namun, saat penggeledahan dilakukan, mobil Porsche dan Land Cruiser itu tidak ada di rumahnya. Polisi akan mengecek kelengkapan surat-surat kendaraan tersebut.

Menurut Andi, Abdul Malik juga punya rumah lain selain di Pejaten.


Dokumen Kepemilikan, Lamborghini Punya Siapa?

Anggota Polres Metro Jakarta Selatan mengungkap dugaan tindak pidana penipuan dengan modus menghindari pembayaran pajak mobil mewah yang dilakukan pengemudi koboi Lamborghini yang menodongkan senjata api ke pelajar SMA di kawasan Kemang, Jakarta Selatan.

"Ada indikasi begitu (menghindari pajak). Setelah kita periksa dokumen kepemilikan atas namanya itu ternyata pemiliknya buruh kasar, pekerja serabutan," kata Kasat Reskrim Polres Metro Jakarta Selatan, Kompol Andy Sinjaya Ghalib, Rabu (25/12/2019) malam.


Dilansir Antara, mobil Lamborghini dengan nomor polisi B 27 AYR berwarna oranye itu telah disita Polres Metro Jakarta Selatan dari Abdul Malik alias AM yang jadi tersangka penodongan pelajar SMA menggunakan senjata api.

Supercar tersebut diketahui memiliki dokumen lengkap seperti Surat Tanda Nomor Kendaraan (STNK) dan BPKB, tetapi bukan atas nama Abdul Malik selaku pemilik.

Setelah memproses perkara utama terkait penodongan senjata, Satreskrim Polres Metro Jakarta Selatan menelusuri kepemilikan Lamborghini yang digunakan pelaku saat melakukan penodongan senjata api.

"Kita melakukan penelusuran atas nama pemilik mobil siapa karena berbeda, setelah dicek dan dipanggil pemiliknya, ternyata yang datang tidak sesuai dengan profilnya," ujar Andi.

Andi menjelaskan, dokumen mobil Lamborghini tersebut diketahui atas nama buruh berinisal AR.


Kronologi Penggunaan KTP
Dari hasil penelusuran tersebut, terungkap AR pada tahun 2013 di Jalan Cipulir I Kelurahan Cipulir, Kecamatan Pasangrahan, Jakarta Selatan bertemu dengan teman-teman nongkrongnnya di warung dekat tempat tinggalnya.

Saat itu AR ingin meminjam uang sebesar Rp 700 ribu kepada salah satu temannya yang berinisial Y untuk keperluan berobat anaknya.

Lalu Y menyanggupi permintaan AR dengan syarat meminjamkan KTP miliknya. AR sempat menanyakan kepada Y alasan meminjam KTP miliknya.

"Y menjawabnya, kan kamu butuh uang, oleh sebab itu saya minjam KTP kamu untuk keperluan, yang penting kan kamu dapat uangnya," ungkap Andi menirukan.

Sejak saat itu AR tidak pernah lagi bertemu dengan Y yang tidak diketahui alamat rumah maupun nomor teleponnya.

Pada Juli 2019, AR pernah menerima pemberitahuan pembayaran pajak dari Dinas Perpajakan Negara dengan keterangan belum membayar pajak satu unit mobil merk Lamborghini dengan nomor polisi B 27 AYR warna oranye keluaran tahun 2013 yang tertulis atas nama AR.

"Karena AR merasa tidak pernah memiliki kendaraan tersebut dia tidak menghiraukan surat tagihan pajak tersebut," ucap Andi.

Atas pengungkapan ini, lanjut Andi, pihaknya akan berkoordinasi dengan pihak Samsat untuk mengetahui berapa nominal pajak progresif yang belum dibayarkan oleh tersangka AM selaku pemilik asli.

"Akan kita koordinasikan dengan Samsat. Kita cek dulu, misalnya berapa dia punya supercar, ada berapa, dan berapa pajaknya," tutur Andi.(detik.com/liputam6.com)

Heboh Jiwasraya, Manchester City dan Saham Gorengan

Posted: 26 Dec 2019 07:19 PM PST


Beritaterheboh.com - Kementerian Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) menyiapkan sejumlah skema untuk menyelamatkan PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero). Asuransi pelat merah ini dalam kondisi mengkhawatirkan.

Staf Khusus Menteri BUMN Arya Sinulingga menjelaskan saat ini Jiwasraya memiliki total aset Rp 23,26 triliun. Dari total aset itu, 52,2% di antaranya berupa aset finansial seperti saham yang tidak likuid.


Kemudian, Jiwasraya memiliki total utang (liabilitas) sebesar Rp 50,5 triliun yang di dalamnya sebesar Rp 15,7 triliun adalah liabilitas dari produk JS Saving Plan.


"Baru gimana skema penyehatan liablitas Saving Plan? Tiga sumber nih," katanya di Kementerian BUMN, Jakarta Pusat, Kamis (26/12/2019).

Sebutnya, pertama, saham anak usaha Jiwasraya yakni Jiwasraya Putra akan dilepas. Dari situ, maka akan mendapatkan dana segar sebesar Rp 3 triliun.

Lalu, Jiwasraya akan mendapatkan suntikan modal dari holding asuransi. Arya sendiri belum merinci secara detail, namun dari sini Jiwasraya bisa mendapatkan dana Rp 8 triliun.

"Kedua, holding asuransi sebesar Rp 2 triliun per tahun, selama 4 tahun Rp 8 triliun," katanya.

Tidak hanya itu, Jiwasraya akan melepas aset finansial berupa saham-saham yang tidak likuid. Dari penjualan ini diperkirakan akan memperoleh dana sebesar Rp 5,6 triliun.

"Hasil penjualan aset finansialnya yang saham, yang saat ini under value diharapkan dapat dilakukan penjualan sebesar mencapai Rp 5,6 triliun," terangnya.

Bagaimana cerita soal saham gorengan?


BUMN Singgung Saham Gorengan

Sejalan dengan itu, Arya juga merespons pernyataan direksi lama Jiwasraya yang tak menempatkan dana kelolanya di saham-saham unggulan lapis pertama alias blue chip. Menurutnya, hal itu merupakan sesuatu yang lucu.

"Kedua, ini lebih lucu lagi, dia bilang apa, bahwa dia tanam saham di saham-saham yang nggak bisa yang bagus. Karena dikit kalau saham bagus," katanya.


Menurutnya, dengan menghindari saham blue chip berarti manajemen lama sama saja mengakui investasi di saham-saham gorengan.

"Kenapa dia nggak beli saham blue chip, karena kalau beli saham blue chip lebih sedikit yang dia beli, berarti dia mengakui bahwa dia beli saham yang memang gorengan," paparnya.

Kondisi lagi jelek kok bisa sponsori Manchester City?

Arya mengatakan, masalah Jiwasraya sudah cukup lama. Menurutnya, jika ada pihak yang menyatakan masalah baru muncul sejak 2017 maka ada dugaan usaha menutupi kerusakan Jiwasraya sejak lama.

"Jadi ya saya katakan lagi justru kalau ada yang mengatakan Jiwasraya kasusnya hanya 2017 ini justru ada usaha-usaha untuk menutupi kerusakan Jiwasraya sejak 2006," katanya.

"Malah bisa membuat yang harusnya, saya belum tahu ya, ada pelanggaran malah jadi nggak ada pelanggaran," sambungnya.


Arya mengatakan, kondisi Jiwasraya sudah buruk pada tahun 2014. Anehnya, perusahaan asuransi pelat merah ini malah menjadi sponsor klub sepak bola Manchester City.

"Bayangkan 2014 posisinya Jiwasraya sudah jelek, dia masih memikat dirinya dengan menjadi sponsor klub Manchester City. Padahal kondisi sahamnya jelek," ujarnya.(detik.com)

Bicara Soal Ada Backing Besar Penyelundupan Lobster, Susi Skakmat Netizen

Posted: 26 Dec 2019 05:49 PM PST

doto: suara.com
Beritaterheboh.com -  Ramai cuitan Susi Pudjiastuti soal backing besar penyelundupan Lobster.


Cuitan Susi ini lantas ditangkapi akun @tonnyzoe yang balik mengkritik apa yang Susi lakukan selama menjadi menteri.

Cuitan ini lantas berbalas dengan Susi hingga menuai balasan kocak dari warganet.







 Kisruh soal wacana ekspor benih lobster (benur), membuat eks Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan menyampaikan permohonan maaf. Susi mengaku tidak bisa bekerja secara maksimal di akhir jabatannya sebagai Menteri KKP.

Pernyataan tersebut disampaikan Susi melalui cuitan yang dibagikan di jejaring Twitter pribadinya, @susipudjiastuti.


Susi merasa gagal, karena di dua tahuan akhir masa jabatannya, ia tidak bisa menghentikan tindak kejahatan penyelundupan benur yang dilakukan oleh oknum tak bertanggung jawab.


Ia pun mengaku telah mengupayakan segala cara, namun kebijakannya tak sepenuhnya terlaksana.


"Mohon maaf dalam 2 tahun terakhir saya gagal untuk menutup total penyelundupan bibit-bibit lobster kita. Perintah saya tidak seratus % terlaksana," cuit Susi seperti dikutip Suara.com, Kamis (26/12/2019).


Dalam cuitan sebelumnya, Susi menyebut budidaya lobster Vietnam berpotensi hancur jika tidak mendapat kan ekspor lobster dari Indonesia.


"Tanpa bibit lobster dari kita Vietnam punya ekspor lobster & Industri pembesaran lobsternya akan hancur & rontok," tulis Susi.



Ia juga membeberkan alasan dirinya gagal menghentikan penyelundupan lobster. Menurut Susi, kegagalannya tersebut dikarenakan minimnya dana dan adanya pihak-pihak yang memang sengaja melindungi penyelundupan benur tersebut.


"Namun 2 tahun terakhir terutama 1 tahun terakhir, saya tidak mampu menggagalkan penyelundupannya dengan significant. Terlalu besar uangnya hingga backing oknum-oknum besar & kuat ikut," imbuhnya.


Untuk diketahui, Susi juga sempat mengungkap ongkos yang diterima para penyelundup benur. Susi menyebutkan para pelaku mendapat ongkos hingga puluhan juta untuk setiap koper.

"WA masuk: Selamat malamBu, semoga sehat sukses selalu. Update ongkos pemilik bagasi atau koperman penyelundupan Baby Lobster .

Ketua PBNU Tagih Janji Kredit Rp 1,5 Triliun, Ini Jawaban Sri Mulyani

Posted: 26 Dec 2019 04:49 PM PST

Beritaterheboh.com -  Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani Indrawati menjawab tagihan Ketua Umum PBNU Said Aqil Siradj soal janji manis pemberian kredit murah pada 2017 yang hingga kini belum terealisasi bagi PBNU, sebesar Rp 1,5 triliun.

Menurut Sri Mulyani, pemberian kredit itu sudah dilakukan dalam APBN 2017 sebesar Rp 1,5 triliun untuk mendukung penguatan pengusaha-pengusaha di level ultramikro di bawah KUR yang tidak memiliki akses pembiayaan.

"Di dalam desainnya, kami membuat MoU dengan NU dan ormas lainnya di dalam APBN 2017. Operasionalisasi dari anggaran 1,5 triliun itu adalah dengan menyalurkan kredit ultramikro melalui beberapa lembaga. Karena tidak mungkin Kemenkeu dengan dana yang dikelola pusat instansi pemerintah langsung memberikan kepada masyarakat individual," kata Sri Mulyani di Kementerian Keuangan, Kamis Malam (27/12/2019).

Oleh karena itu, penyaluran tadi dilakukan melalui beberapa cara dengan menunjuk pihak ketiga seperti PT BAV Bahana Arta Ventura, PMN Permodalan Madani yang termasuk di dalamnya program Mekaar dan juga PT Pegadaian.

Terkait dengan PBNU, Sri Mulyani mengatakan kredit murah itu sudah disalurkan sebanyak Rp 211 miliar kepada lima koperasi. Hanya, kata Sri Mulyani, penyaluran bagi usaha mikro memang mengalami kendala karena tidak mudah dilakukan.

"Seperti di PBNU itu Koperasi Sidogiri, ada lima koperasi yang sudah menerima Rp 211 miliar. Jadi memang perkembangannya kami terus memantau, ada perubahan dari sisi beberapa cara," kata Sri Mulyani.

Ke depannya, Sri Mulyani berjanji akan mengakomodasi permintaan perubahan skema yang dilontarkan PBNU. Namun, perubahan itu tetap harus sesuai dengan rambu-rambu dan tata kelola.

Waktu itu, kata mantan Direktur Pelaksana Bank Dunia ini, PBNU meminta supaya tidak hanya Sidogiri yang menerima penyaluran kredit murah, tetapi koperasi-koperasi di bawah PBNU yang lainnya juga. Akan tetapi menurut Sri Mulyani, tidak semua koperasi sebagus koperasi Sidogiri.

"Namun tidak semua koperasi yang kualitasnya sebagus itu (Sidogiri). Sehingga waktu itu juga diminta kepada kami untuk memberikan langsung kepada masyarakat melalui pondok pesantren. Karena ponpes bukan unit ekonomi waktu itu kita menyalurkan kepada beberapa langsung individual, ternyata tidak bisa pick up, artinya kreditnya itu kemudian tidak bisa membantu, karena di level ultramikro pendampingan itu penting sekali," papar Sri Mulyani.

"Saya juga dengar PBNU minta diubah, kita akan coba akomodir, tapi tetap pada rambu-rambu tata kelola, karena kalau anggaran di dalam APBN itu namanya investasi, harus roll-over, bukan hibah, kalau hibah itu 'kan diberikan seperti PKH yang kita berikan ke keluarga yang tidak mampu," tambah Sri Mulyani.(suara.com)
