1. Indonesian Embassy in The Hague Inaugurates the First Pura in the Netherlands
The Indonesian Ambassador to the Netherlands, Mayerfas, inaugurated the first pura (a Hindu temple) in the Netherlands on Saturday, November 30, 2024. The pura is located in Taman Indonesia, Kallenkote, Overijssel.
"This pura is not only a place for worship rituals for the Balinese Hindus in the Netherlands and surroundings, but also a symbol of shared pride, evidence of determination, harmony, tolerance, and spirit of togetherness," said Mayerfas, quoted from the official statement of the Indonesian Embassy in The Hague.
2. Indonesia Concentrates on Finishing Development of IKN Government Center
Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) revealed that the development of the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) in East Kalimantan will continue with a focus on completing the government center.
AHY stated that the decision was a follow-up to President Prabowo Subianto’s direction, which emphasized the importance of completing the government center as a priority in the development of IKN.
"Many people have asked whether the IKN will be continued? President Prabowo has clearly stated that the development of IKN will continue. However, it will be more focused on completing the government center," said AHY during the 2024 National Leadership Meeting of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) in Jakarta on Sunday.
3. Indonesian Teacher Union Urges Govt to Clarify Statement on Teacher Salary Increase
The Indonesian Teacher Union Federation (FSGI) urges the government to clarify the statement regarding the salary increase for teachers that was previously disclosed by President Prabowo during a speech at the National Teacher's Day event at Velodrome, East Jakarta, on Thursday, November 28, 2024.
In his speech, Prabowo stated that civil servant teachers (ASN) would receive an additional income equivalent to one month's basic salary. Additionally, the professional allowance for non-ASN teachers will increase to Rp 2 million per month.
According to FSGI General Secretary Heru Purnomo, increasing teacher salaries as promised by Prabowo during the campaign is impossible. He stated that there is no funding source available. "Our State Budget is already in deficit due to providing free nutritious meals at Rp 10,000 per student per day," Heru said in his official statement on Monday, December 2, 2024.
