He hit the public, because he took a fine of Rp204 million to compensate the hospital. Fundraising Dilancarkanlah action "Coins For Prita". Jingling coins kept hammering hearts of the people at the end nodes 2009.
Minah (55), a grandmother, never suspected that the behavior of three isengnya picking cacao on plantations owned by PT Rumpun Sari (RSA) to drag as a prisoner at the green table. He was rewarded a month 15 days in jail with three months probation. Ripe fruit Minah cocoa grandmother dragged into the hotel without cost. Melabelnya and mass media as one of the ironies Indonesian law.

Beginning in December (1/12/2009), they can breathe free air after the proposed suspension of arrest granted the District Court judges Kediri City. Watermelon fruit prison.
Who Prita, who's grandmother Minah, who Basar and Kholil? They face legal sword frozen in the formula article by article. Dark night without a bright star, that's depiction of life span of the four.
Intended to vent to my friend poured through short message service (SMS) on a hospital service, Prita rewarded hundreds of million rupiah fine. These mothers also grateful to what the law even though he didaulat several times in tears while saying thanks to the Divine.
While the three kakaonya Minah, Basar and Kholil with semangkanya, pry both the public conscience by asking, "Why did you not protest? Why say anything? You think in this world we can live without the show of teeth? You think of the world This we be so ignorant and rigid neck? " This first meditation blaring when planted on four cases of human children.
No need to hurry to answer questions on the niche heart swoop conscience. On the other side there is a second meditation by borrowing the word "I" is more personal, more personal. Did not have a conscience, personal characteristics? Is not conscience is often referred to as the voice of the Divine, as once stated by the philosopher John Henry Newman.
This is the second meditation, "I follow him with my eyes. I also thought how easy it is to be strong in this world. It would be a common vulnerability in a world which is relatively difficult to thank others."
Is not the conscience in Latin called "consscientia", derived from the root word "conscire", which means "knowing together" and "helped to know". Conscience as a witness and the judge who dropped the assessment and decision on any action.
The third meditation, what equality body and engine? "The body and the machine will look like. Equality body and the engine occurs, if the copying machine body. As such, compliance means first of all move your body on command and procedures," wrote F. Budi Hardiman in the book Understanding the Negativity.
A fantastic, at the beginning of modern times, the philosopher Rene Descartes view the body as "l homme machine", a machine that is driven by animal instincts.
Hardiman wrote, not only "punishment" but a "reward" can accelerate the metamorphosis of the body. Pain and pleasure are two kinds of codes for the body to be obedient, ie imitating njlimetnya schemes tight command and discipline.
Three meditation touching a person when visited in PritaGate compliance technology, CocoaGate and SemangkaGate. A grandfather named Mundala (65), came later handed a red box containing coins into the coin Command Post to Prita Wildlife Park Street No. 60. Collection of these coins came from the community in Srengseng Sawah scavengers.
Was unable to stem the tears in his eyes, he admitted so sorry with what happened Prita case. "They (his fellow scavenger), sadly, for the sake of justice, they try to collect money USD 50, USD 500," she said, crying as Mundala give it, as written in the Compass page. "People use e-mail, why should dicecar? But if the case Century, just delicious, "she said.

Meanwhile, the Mayor proclaimed Kediri SemangkaGate Samsul Ashar. "I see it as a portrait of poverty that must be resolved. It is not only poverty can be solved by education and free health care only," he said when met reporters in between visits to the house in Kelurahan Bujel Basar, Mojoroto District, Wednesday (2/12/2009) .
Three meditation leads to the credo that inner voice can provide energy to not imitate the Divine mere machine. Conscience allow the body to rebel and refuse to imitate the engine.
The question is, why the person or group to obey the regime, although the order was contrary to their conscience bells? Why potential dissent body disappear immediately, so that their identity is driven like the machines?
And Prita a meditative Mulyasari said. "Donations of money coin symbol of people power so small that I appreciated," he said at his home in Bintaro, South Tangerang.
Ancient Greek legend gives wisdom. After forgive Promotheus, Jupiter to punish mankind. "People now have a fire, I want revenge. Tetaoi I'm not going to wipe them with lightning and thunder. I will give a gift, that's my revenge!" Who opened Pandora's Box?

Manufacture of information and communication technology (ICT) in the country a new history with the start of construction of the lighthouse Palapa Ring Project.
On 30 November 2009, or one month before the closing year milestone in 2009 which was engraved with the inauguration marked the beginning of development by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Via video conference, the President who was at the State Palace, Jakarta, spoke with Tifatul Sembiring minister in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara, as a sign of the beginning the deployment of fiber optics along the 1041 km which connects Mataram, Kupang.
Palapa Ring is a government program to build an international fiber-optic network consists of 7 rings (ring) surrounding the provincial capital 33 districts 440 and 460 districts throughout Indonesia.
Each ring will be continued access to broadband frequency from one point to another in each district, which supports fiber-optic high speed broadband with a capacity of 300 Gbps and 1,000 Gbps in the area.
Networks become the foundation of all providers and users of telecommunications services that require data transfer in high speed or broadband.
Infrastructure that will integrate with existing network provider's telecommunications network in Eastern Indonesia (KTI).
Palapa Ring Project requires a total cost of about 1.5 billion U.S. dollars was made up of 35,280 kilometers "submarine cable" and the 21,708 mile "Inland cable".
Particularly in eastern Indonesia, the construction of Palapa Ring along 10,812 km of connecting Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara, Maluku and Papua, it is the dream of society because in the near future can enjoy a variety of telecommunications services that are not limited to voice conversations, but also will be available access high-speed Internet data.
Tifatul Sembiring minister said Indonesia managed to establish if the Palapa Ring with infinite capacity, then this country could have access to the bargaining power of Tier-1 countries (the United States, and Europe) through three continents and two oceans for two has a number of potential Internet users .
"The tip of the ring from this project as in Papua could reach the Pacific Ocean," said Tifatul.
Not only that, the infrastructure is already up Internet tariffs are expected to be lower than this time, the original data communications access to Indonesia Internet Exchange (IIX), or landing point of the Network Access Provider (NAP) is not necessary anymore through Jakarta.
Palapa Ring Project Naming is one of the real appreciation of the concrete manifestation of the government in the history of the momentum of political commitment by the Supreme Linguistic Theories Patih Majapahit, Gajah Mada, in uniting the archipelago.
Even as the importance of this Palapa Ring, Dekominfo make entry in the program 100 days Tifatul Sembiring minister as one of the parameters that must be achieved in the provision of ICT infrastructure for the community.
Palapa Ring initiated since the minister held Sofian Djalil, which followed signing of a Memorandum of Understanding Palapa Ring Consortium on May 25, 2007.
When Depkominfo held Muhammad Nuh, and then performed the Consortium Agreement signed on 10 November 2007 with encouraging PT Telkom as korsorsium leader.
Palapa Ring Project is the first example of a project fiber optic network infrastructure that is implemented through the mechanism of "public-private partnership" (partnership of government and private) in Indonesia.
Palapa Ring Consortium members was initially composed of 7 companies that generally is telecommunication.
However, recently only three operators are Telkom, Indosat and Bakrie Telecom to survive and express a commitment to take part to build infrastructure.
In fact, Telkom, which first initiative to build optic cable along the 1041 km or the southern part of eastern Indonesia, while the northern part of the consortium is expected dibagun together.
With an investment of around U.S. $ 52 nevertheless, the development of optical fiber by landline and submarine cable is ditergetkan completed November 2010.
The optical construction along the 1041 km was covered, Mataram? Kawinda nae along 292.3 km, Kawinda nae? Raba (142.5 km), Raba? Waingapu (307.5 km), Waingapu? Ende (210.1 km), and Ende? Kupang (285.4 km).
Palapa Ring Consortium will later be built at the beginning of optical fiber 2011 from Manado, Ternate, Sorong, Ambon, Kendari to Makassar.
Built networks of Manado-Bitung (58 km), Bitung, Ternate (303.3 km), Ternate, Sorong (658.5 km), Sorong-Ambon (722.8 km), Ambon, Kendari (778.5 km ), Kendari-Kolaka (192 km), Kolaka-Watampone (156.3 km), Watampone-Bulukumba (157 km) and Bulukumba-Makassar (194 km).
Telkom president director Rinaldi Firmansyah said, with a backbone will strengthen and facilitate Telkom in developing and integrating the kinds of services, particularly in eastern Indonesia.
With the integration of western, central and eastern Indonesia to realize automatic information technology infrastructure and communications with the name "Telkom Super Highway", which supports the implementation of Telkom's transformation was due to service-based voice Telecommunication, Information, Media and Edutainment (TIME).
Infrastructure through the services provided will be able to bring data and information at high speed to support next generation broadband networks Nationwide (NG-NBN).
"The capacity of fiber optics for point-Kupang, Mataram could only accommodate 32 million subscribers Speedy or 120 million subscribers IPTV (Internet-based television broadcasting)," said Rinaldi.
The seriousness of Telkom's infrastructure building the Palapa Ring received praise from various circles.
"The government is proud that Telkom as a state-owned companies took the initiative to build this project," he said.
Private-Government Partnerships
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said the government has set a national policy for the development of information communication technology (ICT) in the three sectors, namely e-government, e-education, and e-business.
For that, said the Head of State, needed togetherness between government and business community to develop ICT in the government sector, education, and business.
Hopefully, technology will be extended and reach the entire joint community, because the contribution of technology, the face of democracy in Indonesia more open through the "open society" which opens kratif and innovative opportunities.
Private partnerships and governments at the Palapa Ring is an absolute thing, but state budget constraints, also need to involve all parties in providing better services to the public.
Meanwhile, the Head of Indonesian Telematics Technology Society (Mastel) Taufik Hasan explained, for Telkom perusahahaan class fiber-optic build in eastern Indonesia is very urgent because it has been in the area still rely on digital microwave with a small capacity.
"Telkom already has a fiber optic line from Sumatra to Bali, and some of Borneo. The concept Palapa Ring will encourage the backbone with a very large capacity," said Taufik.
Indeed, Telkom as a company which owned a majority share of government is a natural thing to take the initiative to start the construction of Palapa Ring, who previously had tug.
Therefore, as a form of government support in building the Palapa Ring infrastructure required in the form of incentives to reward companies that build.
Spokesman Palapa Ring Consortium Junaedi Grace explains, the other consortium members remain committed to continue the project, especially after Telkom start with Mataram, Kupang route.
"The other consortium members will be hired for the route built Telkom. If the northern sector is not built, large investments will be wasted," said Rachmat.
He emphasized that the consortium members will not shrink even circulated rumors that PT Indosat will reduce contributions or paused from the membership as XL.
This step was taken because the child was allegedly Indosat Qatar Telecom business is on next year are expected to spend big money to pay the bonds for 234.7 million U.S. dollars due.
In addition the company will focus commercialize Sea Cable Communication System (SKKL) Jakabare linking Indonesia and Singapore. Indosat itself in next year's estimated that only has a capital expenditure of 650 million U.S. dollars next year.
Indeed, any form of infrastructure development can be financed from the state budget. If the backbone is less interested in the private sector initiatives can be taken over the government, as is done in some countries such as Australia and Singpura for broadband to take advantage of economic progress.

China and India into two countries with the most rapid economic growth in the world and increasingly important role in the global economy.
The ability of capital and labor which allows China to build major manufacturing industries and large infrastructure too.
As a result, the country's bamboo curtain over the world with exports of manufactured goods around the world.
Meanwhile, India seized the attention of being able to develop a knowledge-based businesses world-class, such as software, information technology services, and pharmaceuticals as well as supplying skilled human resources.
In the midst of a global crisis, both countries recorded the highest economic growth in the world while the European countries, the United States, and several Asian countries experienced negative growth.
China's economy grew by reserves meraksasa country through 2.27 trillion U.S. dollars at the end of September 2009. Even the country's economic strength overtake the developed countries, like England, France, and Italy.
India, as newly industrialized countries that actively conduct economic transformation, now has reserves of about 200 billion U.S. dollars. Compare this with the reserves of the United States economy 72.5 billion dollars, and English for 71.1 billion U.S. dollars.
Researcher Institute of Management Faculty of Economics Purwantoro Nugroho said Indonesia, China and India incarnated as the strongest magnet in attracting investment, creating local companies leading, as well as a player in the international market.
According Nugroho, although both continued economic transformation, but the approach used by China and India tend to be different.
Government intervention in China's bigger than India's economic activities. China to invest heavily in physical infrastructure, on the other hand since the mid-1980 the Indian government to reduce intervention in the business world.
"From the investment side, China enthusiastically received foreign investment while India tends to be suspicious of foreign investment so that economic growth is more driven domestic demand," said Nugroho.
If China managed to dominate world exports of manufactured goods, and machinery production, India - with the information technology revolution launched since 1999 - has become the production base of software and information technology products for the U.S. market, Europe, and Asia.
Debate, whether a company should focus on China or India markets especially after the two countries' trading partners (bilateral) trade value reached 225 billion dollars, equal to the value of trade between China and the U.S. in 2006.
"As they increasingly integrated, it would be difficult for others to be able to easily enter into it," said Nugroho.
Then what is the impact of the economic gains to both countries of Indonesia's economy? How can the government strategy and Indonesian businessmen facing China and India?
In China, the trade balance deficit of Indonesian non-oil exports, which means that Indonesia imports more than exports to China.
Total trade with China, Indonesia May 2009 period, reaching 9.2 billion U.S. dollars. Indonesian exports to China 4.3 billion dollars while imports from China reached 4.9 billion U.S. dollars.
Meanwhile, Indonesia's trade with India currently listed with a total trade surplus of 6.5 billion U.S. dollars.
Take advantage of the potential
Minister of Trade Mari Elka Pangestu said Indonesia should take advantage of market potential of China and India are very large with a supply-based product manufacturing.
"Taking advantage of the domestic market of China and India with a manufacturing-based exports, is expected to encourage Indonesia's trade balance with the two countries," said Mari.
So far, Indonesia's exports to China and India are still based on natural resources, such as gas, coal, steel products, rubber, aluminum, and other auxiliary materials.
With a huge market potential in both countries, Indonesia is expected to increase opportunities to supply products, intermediate goods, as well as maintaining exports of natural resource based.
Besides having a large population or in the top three in the world, China, India, and Indonesia is also a country with the largest economic growth in the world as the global crisis is still going on.
According to records, China's economic growth in 2009 expected to reach eight percent, India at this year estimated at 6.5 percent, while the Indonesian economy is estimated to be over six percent in 2011 and 2012.
Let's argue, Indonesia at least set a three strategies for coping with China and India, which makes the two countries as a market and investment opportunities, both compete in the economy, and the third to synergy.
Strategic advantage to be gained from the existence of business Indonesia China and India, the business scale, the strength of mutual support, knowledge transfer, and reduce the risk.
Let believes, Indonesia is likely to compete with China and India because Indonesia has natural resources and human resource potential to be developed.
According to Standard Chartered Bank report titled "Indonesia, the rise of Asian Sources of Economic Growth", three categories of countries that could win the business transformation, which has the financial resources, energy resources and commodities, and able to adapt and change.
Senior economist Fauzi Ichsan StanChart Indonesia admitted, Indonesia does not have the financial resources are adequate, so the challenge how to attract foreign investment to cultivate economic potential.
Could be, many people doubt that Indonesia could capture the potential investors and economic process. However, political stability, improving the business climate, and the seriousness of corruption is expected to improve investor perceptions of Indonesia.
Improvement of business climate in the country is absolutely necessary, in line with the development of Southeast Asia that encourage inter-regional trade and attract inward investment flows.
In terms of economies of scale, large enough that Indonesia has a population of 228 million people or a country with a population of the world's fourth largest after China, India, and the United States.
For that Indonesia should take advantage of sectors that are not owned by both countries, the abundant natural resources and the creative field of economics, as well as the benefits of the tourism sector, Indonesia.
At least, tourists who visited China to foreign countries each year could reach 25 million people. This potential can be cultivated to visit Indonesia. (AntaraNews)

A convertible car (no roof) gold on the streets of Cambodia as forcing people to turn menegokkan head. But not only that, its creator, giving Nhean Phaloek claim "extraordinary" that the car can "operate in telepathy".
"I just snap your fingers and open the car door. Or am I just thinking about opening the car door, and doors that open immediately," says the 51-year-old, while proudly showing rakitannya car, named Angkor 333-2010 .
The people who saw him hold his breath when he showed the practice. Phaloek have to spend 5000 dollars and take 19 months to create a vehicle fiber-glass. However Phaloek really do not want to reveal a remote control system through his actions, according to French news agency, AFP.
Only a few of Cambodians who make their own cars, but Phaloek bermimpin car with two seats, which will help forge the automotive industry in the country, who remain poor after decades of conflict.
"I am very excited and proud with this car because a lot of people admire me and kept asking me about how I can make it," he said. He added that the car can reach speeds of up to more than 100 kilometers per hour.
Pharith Kong, a former teacher of physics and mathematics 48 years old and also have made their own cars, said the automotive industry will blossom in Cambodia.
"Our work will be part of the driving force for future generations to enter new findings and show the world that Cambodia has the ability to do what you do not think we can do," he said.
Discoverer, who first drew national attention in 2005 for making sun-powered bicycle, believed he now actually has a truly unique result, jeep-like vehicle with the orange color and has solar panels on their roofs.
Meanwhile Pharith Kong said he took four months to draft and give final touches to the car "tribrid" her, which operates by using solar energy, electricity and gasoline, which can reach speeds of 40 miles per hour with a 2000 watt machine.
"I'm really happy with my performance, but not satisfied," said Pharith. He added that shortage of materials and modern technology in Cambodia is a major barrier to adequate production.
The dream to build cars in Cambodia may not be much longer to materialize. Officials have announced firm plans South Korean automaker, Hyundai, will open a factory in southwestern Cambodia, so as to assemble as many as 3000 vehicles per year.
Cambodia is already assembling cars in a factory during the 1960s, before the country fell in the arena of the Vietnam War.
During a short production period, the car known as the "Angkor" is made from imported parts and tires made in the country.
Vehicle which is basically built in Cambodia is also still used in rural areas, home to as many as 80 percent of 14 million people in the country.
The farmers often depend on the "cow robots", a big truck with a flatbed made using a machine shop with China or Vietnam, which used to carry people and rice.
Machine, which is usually worth two thousand U.S. dollars, also functions as a generator or water pump when the object is not in the long country road and potholes.
But in Phnom Penh, the elite and middle class people are often seen driving a car imports, which is seen as a symbol of prestige and status.
"(People Cambodia) to give more attention to their cars than the clothes they buy," said Jean Boris Roux - Ford vehicles imported into Cambodia as Asia manager RM in the country.
"I think it is very important for the Cambodian people to demonstrate success in their professional lives through their vehicle kemudikan," he said.
Although the Cambodian people love the car, Roux and several other analysts said the domestic industry that will undoubtedly appear soon - especially since the neighbors, Thailand, remains a giant in the Asian automotive assembly.
"It's not just having four walls (for one plant). You need hundreds of companies that supply seats, steering wheel, roof ... It's not going to happen in Cambodia for many years," said Roux.
Until then, Nhean Phaloek said he continues to make cars.
333-2010 Angkor is the third car that he had made, and the first to speak. When he slammed, there was a groan in the dashboard, "Why did you shut me so hard?"
"Dozens of local and foreign visitors had arrived and saw my car," he said, smiling Nhean Phaloek. "A British man told me that it was the car of his James Bond Cambodia ."(AntaraNews)
