With joint preparedness we can reduce the risks and impacts,” Isnawa added. As is known, BMKG predicts the potential for extreme weather during the Christmas to New Year (Nataru) period. Residents in Java, Bali, NTT and Papua are asked to be aware of possible disasters due to the impact of extreme rain. “In January, all areas of Java, Bali, NTT, NTB, South Sulawesi, South Papua will experience high to very high rainfall, between 300 and 500 millimeters per month,” Teuku Faisal Fathani, head of BMKG, said in a coordination meeting at the office of the Ministry of Interior, Central Jakarta, Monday (1/12).

According to him, the rainfall in Kalimantan and parts of Papua is the same throughout the year. “This is what we need to be aware of when we enter Nataru, that in the areas I mentioned earlier there is the potential for heavy to very high rainfall,” he explained. Faisal continued that the potential for rain during the Christmas season will begin in late December. He said exactly in the third week. “These areas that are vulnerable are East Kalimantan, then in the eastern part of Papua, it is the highest. Then towards the end of December, those that are active around West Papua. And this is what we are careful about from December 28 to January 10 in the area around Java Island, the whole area of ​​Java, Bali, he has the high potential of East Nusa and Tenggara,” he said.

Jakarta – Deputy General Chairman-Coordinator for Political, Security and Defense Affairs of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN), Bambang Soesatyo, is optimistic that Indonesia’s economic prospects will remain strong in 2026. This is because the Indonesian economy is supported by macro stability, investment flows, as well as expansion of the industrial base and downstream. However, Bamsoet reminded us to remain alert to global challenges such as geopolitical turmoil, changes in the direction of monetary policy in developed countries, commodity volatility and the economic slowdown of trading partners. These include a decline in purchasing power due to inflation and less than optimal government spending, a slowdown in investment due to high interest rates and legal uncertainty. Bamsoet emphasized that the business world must be the main driving force to create jobs and improve people’s well-being. Employment is the foundation of prosperity, purchasing power and national stability. Therefore, KADIN must be able to connect large business actors, MSMEs, financing institutions and local governments so that job creation proceeds systematically. Scroll to continue with content “The key to improving prosperity is transforming the quality of work. We must expand sustainable employment opportunities, decent incomes and give people room to improve their standard of living. This can only happen through good cooperation between the business world, government, financial sector and educational institutions,” says Bamsoet in his statement, Tuesday (2/12/2020). He conveyed this when he attended the opening of the 2025 Indonesian KADIN National Rapimnas in Jakarta, Monday (1/12/25). Furthermore, this member of the DPR RI explained that data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for August 2025 recorded that the open unemployment rate (TPT) was at the level of 4.85 percent, lower than the previous period. Meanwhile, the number of working people reached 146.54 million people, an increase of about 1.90 million compared to August 2024. Even though the trend of improvement is positive, Bamsoet believes that this figure does not reflect the overall improvement in the workforce structure. This is because most of the new jobs are in the informal sector with social protection and wage schemes that are not yet ideal. “Labor absorption must move from informal to formal. We want workers to develop social security, guaranteed wages and opportunities. In this way, economic growth will have a significant impact on the welfare of citizens,” said Bamsoet. Bamsoet explained that MSMEs are a defining sector in the employment expansion agenda. Data from the Ministry of MSMEs records that there are around 30.18 million MSME units active by the end of 2024. This figure shows the people’s great economic power, but it is challenging at the same time. This is because there are still many MSMEs who struggle to obtain bank credit, market access and digital literacy. He added that the MSME digitization programme, driven over the past two years through various collaborations with industry and technology platforms, is also beginning to show results. In several cities such as Solo, Yogyakarta, Makassar and Balikpapan, micro-enterprises that have entered the digital ecosystem are creating new jobs in the fields of digital marketing, logistics, content production and customer service. “If MSMEs get easy financing, access to the national supply chain and digital assistance, millions of new jobs will be created. What we are building is an ecosystem, not just a program,” added Bamsoet. Bamsoet urged the 2025 National Conference of KADIN to establish three strategic focuses. Firstly, strengthening financing schemes so that micro and small businesses can develop and recruit new workers. Second, accelerate workforce skilling and retraining programs to meet the needs of technology and renewable energy-based industries. Third, strengthening partnerships between large businesses and local MSMEs through buyer patterns and supply chains. One of the strategic steps currently being driven is the integration of training programs based on industry needs. Currently, KADIN works with government and investors to ensure training results in measurable job placements in the manufacturing, renewable energy, health and digital economy sectors. “We must move together, because Indonesia’s future is not determined by one sector, but rather by mutual cooperation of all elements of the nation. Broad, fair and quality employment opportunities are the main foundation for a prosperous and independent Indonesia,” Bamsoet concluded. For information, those present included the Chairman of the Indonesian MPR Ahmad Muzani, Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian MPR Edhie Baskoro Yudhoyono, Coordinating Minister for Economy Airlangga Hartarto, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Republic of Indonesia. TNI Vice Marshal (Ret.) Donny Ermawan, Senior Deputy Governor of Bank Indonesia Destry Damayanti, Chief Secretary of BIN Lt.-Gen. TNI Rafael Granada Baay, Chairman of the Indonesian KADIN Anindya Bakrie, Vice Chairman of the Indonesian KADIN Business Council Oesman Sapta Odang, as well as Chairmans of Indonesia, as well as the Indonesian Association.

The actions of the five allegedly caused government losses of up to IDR 222 billion. The Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) suspects that the money came as funds to meet non-budgetary needs. The suspects are not currently in custody. However, the Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) has asked the Directorate General of Immigration to prevent them from leaving the country for six months and this may be extended according to the needs of the investigation.

Geneva, November 26 (IANS). The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) made shocking revelations in its recent report. UNAIDS has warned in its new report that the global approach to combating HIV has suffered the biggest setback in decades. This report calls for reliance on solidarity, courage, investment and innovation to achieve the goal of ending the AIDS epidemic. The report is titled “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response”. In addition to the lack of international funding for HIV prevention efforts, the report also highlighted the serious consequences of a lack of global solidarity. The report said that a sudden cut in international HIV support in 2025 would further widen the existing funding gap. In this, an estimate from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development was quoted. According to this, external health aid is expected to decrease by 30-40 percent in 2025 compared to 2023. If this happens, it will cause immediate and rapid disruption in health care delivery in low- and middle-income countries. According to the report, HIV prevention services were the most affected. Major cuts in the supply of HIV prevention drugs and a sharp decline in voluntary medical male circumcision have widened the protection gap for millions of people. The programs carried out to prevent the spread of HIV infection among young women have also been significantly affected. According to Xinhua News Agency, the report warned that in the next Global AIDS Strategy a target was set to stop it by 2030. However, failure to meet this target could lead to 3.3 million new HIV infections between 2025 and 2030. According to UNAIDS, 40.8 million people worldwide are infected with HIV. There are 1.3 million new cases in 2024 and 9.2 million people are still not receiving treatment. Ahead of World AIDS Day on December 1, UNAIDS called on world leaders to show solidarity and fulfill their pledge to work together to end AIDS. UNAIDS also called for maintaining funding for the HIV response, investing in innovation, upholding human rights and strengthening communities. Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of UNAIDS, said: “It is time for us to choose. We can allow these setbacks to undo decades of hard work, or we can unite behind a common vision to end AIDS. The lives of millions of people depend on the choices we make today.” –IANS KK/DSC Share this story Tags
