Roaring 21

A record for my ascension—————————-
i had my day-off on July 29th 2008, i knew this thing in advanced so that i arranged my self to join an ascension to the one of active volcanoe, the mount located in The West Java, it is Papandayan Mount, round 2262 meters above the ocean surface. well, along with three of my friends, we left Jakarta in the night of July 28th, after work-hour, by getting in the Office’s Bus. i am so happy to attire as a boulevardier, jacket and cap, that i felt as the real hitchhiker. we were dropped by in the freeway, then we had a general-vehicle take us to the terminal, from where we would start leaving Jakarta to West Java and we prayed first before did that.
i had my own reason to do this unusual thing, i just feel in boredom to rely on someone else, meanwhile i realized that i cannot live that way. nothing to help me, but my hands and head. it is just like an indirectly evidence to myself that i can leave away behind all my dependencies and live on my own.i am just on my thought that i need to be arround to grow. and then something came up. that was my journey to Papandayan. it is not a written-detestation to those surrounding me, even i owed a threat to them a lot,it is just my decision to come as i am, as my thought and as my mindset, nothing more.
we reached Terminal of Garut at 02.00 AM and had a little stop-over about a half hour.we continued going by taking a little bus which would take us to the entrance gate to the Papandayan’s area. it took us about 120 minutes to complete then we had been already in a Masjid to have a nap while waiting for Adzan for Sholat Shubuh. it was so cold to be in the dawn there that i was jerky and shivered. i wore three layers of apparels but it didn’t work to protect me from the cold. i kept folding both of my hands before my chest. arrived there at 04.00 AM, we didn’t want to miss the sunrise moment soon we called several ojeks to take us to the valley of the mount, then i lo and behold when the sun arose from the West and it was getting higher and higher untill became invisible to see. i smiled at the world before me and said that it might be the same sun i am going to see when i study abroad someday.
that was at 07.30 AM then we decided to start climbing, i was in euforia indeed. i couldn’t wait being in the summit of the mount’s hill. i breathed tediously because it was tiresome verily. but my entushiasm defeted it, i left my group several meters behind and stepped the rock hill with bravity i had. i could see my friends in the smallest size in my sight. and i had to slant my eyes to see them. from the rock i saw a verdure inviting me to come, not too long i was already on my way to get it then within several minutes i almost got it, but i got stuck because the thing i saw as something amazing, actually it was a just the slabs of big mountain grass with all manners of died branches and twigs.another thing attracted me to see was,when i viewed from the far,white fog came up from the hill since i didn’t know what it was at first, and i looked at my friends then i witnessed that they had been there and saw what the thing coming up within the hill, i turned my direction to reach there but on the way i made, i was stumbled by debris of rocks and i was wounded, but it is ok.
afterward, i saw it, actually it was a crater of sulfure and because of its heat, it released it in from of fog. round of 3 meters next to me was a boiling mud, i could feel the heat from several meters before it. now i know the mud worried by the people in Sidoarjo. it was so terrible that it became impossible for them to live close to the mud.we continued walking and we grabbed a pleasure spot to take a rest and it was just within round 5 minutes i closed my eyes then i got sleep, may be because of the air, it was so fresh that led one to sleep, including me.
i looked forward to possessing more nap but i couldn’t. we were still at the steep that was still quite far from the summit of the mount. i awaked to go for the peak along with my friends, but one of us chose to stay at the valley, he didn’t make any effort to climb as we did. it seemed to be impossible because of his weight.well, step by step we walked while throwing our glance to the nature before us, in a spot i perfomed my bow to ALLAH.SWT for the blessing
taking me to the life i had untill now. the scenery was great, cool and dazzling especially at the ascending route to the peak, it had its edge so close with the canyon that i stood at it with great feeling, i shouted my name and i heard its echo. also there, i said to my self that insyaALLAH, i could be accepted in STAN D3 Khusus next year, study abroad someday and be a leader in my working environment in the future,amin.
my adrenaline was challenged when i was faced with a hard track to pass in order to reach the top of the mount. it was in perpendicularity and there was no ground, but the rocks. wasn’t it amazing?i kept focusing to reach the summit,it made me to regardless of the obstacles encountering me.about 3 hours later i completed the hard track and already at the peak. along i threw my glance was a deserted dessert.a natural park was laid before me indeed. a rare species of flower grew there, with gorgeous flower and impressive leaves.that was the Daisy. i picked some stems up and kept them into my bag.i took them home :), it was just like a vandalism, but i am very sorry for that.the deserted dessert was inhabited by Pig, i guessed it from the trace formed on the sand i watched, very long and long untill disappeared into the bush. i perpetuated that moment by taking some photos evolving as the model.i had no fearness when i was alone abandoned by my friends since i was very sleepy meanwhile they wondered to have a look arround that summit, i just let them go and fell asleep.
we wouldn’t be in a long time to be on the top, we need to descend soon, if we didn’t want to be darkened by the smog in the afternoon, many climbers lost because the smog covered their way.we didn’t want to be that way. well to descend was just much easier that ascend, but we must be more carefull and more patient stumbled by the stobeacuse if we are in hurry we will be nes or the sands. in the middle of the descending we stopped for a moment in a river with a little drift and waterfall.i soaked my hand into the pure-stagnant water and i was jerky, it was very cold but fresh. then i watered my face, my head to get a new freshness. so did my friends. then we left it to continue descending. but i seemed to become further left my friends behind, and my friends just were on their leisure to take some photos about sulfure lake.
round of 100 meters behind me were a young guy carrying a basket and as the time went he was getting closer to me and finally we were in the same point. i greeted him first and he replied and told me that his name was Wawan, he was 25 years old and he worked as a farmer in a farming-land. he asked where i lived, i said that i lived in Jakarta and to be here for my vacation, suddenly he asked me if i lived close to the PRJ, because he told me that once in a year he went to Jakarta, just to see PRJ at Kemayoran, The Central Jakarta. i was proud of him when he told me that everyday he worked to the farming-land, planted with potato, carrot and cabbage,and the area was far from his home, it took him about 3 hours on foot to get there, meaning that he had to get up at 5 o’clock AM every morning if he expected to be there at 8 o’clock AM. and he had to leave his farm at 3 o’clock PM if he wanted to be at home at 6 o’clock PM.one of the real hardworkers ever.
Alhamdulillah i reached the shelter, the place where we had our rest when we had just arrived,i laid my body in a long desk and i had several snacks to eat, good for healing my starvation from the peak. when i walked arround the shelter i saw a little boy playing alone with no friend, then i approached him but he was scared at me, he just ran toward to his father, we smiled at one another, the his father introduced himself then i nodded as an acknowledge sign. i asked his son, who his name was, but he was just petrified. then his father said that his name was Ro’is, he also briefed what its mean, it meant Leader, because Ro’is means Leader, well, i just prayed for him, hope someday Ro’is his son, can be a leader as he expected to.
so how about me? Erikson Wijaya, well in short it means that my parents want to say "My son, Erik, Hope one day you will be a wealth, prosperous and a leader like Raden Wijaya, a king from Majapahit Kingdom" and i amin to that indeed, because i do believe that there is a pray within our own name given by our folks.
not long after that all of us were ready to go back to Jakarta, then i got home at 01.00 AM and afterward i started writing this. and be the thing you read right now.ok then i thank you all. just keep making efforts and praying,
amin.
Erikson

We Welcome You Here At The Catalyst

Assalamualaiakum and Dear All..
have you ever been wowed by ones because of theirs eloquence?? i realy have. and at that moment, i petrified. i just could imagine if i were them. but unfortunately i couldn’t, i am on my own to be that way. and i never be able to stop thinking of being the one who is excellent in delivering ideas,as those i mentioned above.
untill recently, on June 2007, i met toastmaster at my office from the brochures attached to the announcement board, and then i said "well, it may help me!!!".
Happy Toastmasters and guests.. something happened the next were i came to the toastmaster’s meeting and i found it interesting, i still remembered how cordially i was welcomed by TM Risna, TM Nafis, TM Olin and many others behind the door, i had a seat and followed the entire of that meeting, altought i didn’t understand the order of that meeting, i paid my attention toroughly at Evaluation Session, well i just concluded that there were no seniority here but ones involved, would help each other ,so that indirectly we still can monitor our progress, the things we should and the things we shouldn’t.. Ladies and gentlements..
having felt the benefits of joining Toastmaster, i just want to make it possible for others to feel the same. especially for those coming as a guests here.. why? because toastmaster will lead us to comprehend several basic principles in communication and leadership, two of several prerequisites in working world nowadays. and we will have friends to share ideas, to ask for inputs and to learn the projects. even sometimes, we get supports and inputs without asking them to do so.
in the actual life… To speak before a group comes as a nightmare if we are not used to practicing and it is an evitable thing since we frequently encounter many moments guiding us to speak. we cannot say "mmm…aa’aa’aaa…ehh" or doing nothing then getting lost.. we need to perform well in conveying the messages and the rapport will be formed. but how can we do that??again.. you don’t need to be worried, you will come to know how to go on when you really want a time-out for your speech in your special occassion, and Toastmaster will make it be real for you because in toastmaster’s membership there is no reluctence among us to discuss many kinds of difficuties or techniques assigned to us in each project we are completing. Dear Toastmasters and guests..
in many fields of our life, we always meet everything most in english, like or dislike , we are forced to deal with this condition, this situation indicates a thing, that is we must keep our english to make ourselves well-informed one, well then..Toasmaster itself, in my opinion, is a good and nice place to apply our ability in english, because it is an english-speaking club in which enable us to improve our proficiency including, speaking, listening and writing, and we do that on way we don’t realize, so we are learning in a cozy way. in communication,i had made a real difference by being persistent in following the toastmaster’s manual book, it teaches me how to communicate effectively and make sure that our messages are accepted well by the audiences. i reinforce my understanding about gestures, vocal variety and visual aid as determinant factors which can make our speech better indeed.
Well, Happy Toastmaster and guests.. is that all?no.. there are still more.. joining this club enables us to grow up our leadership skill, in every single meeting we can have an opportunity to run a certain role, and you know what? each role provides certain training for our leadership skill. such as the timer, subconscioulsly this role practices our skill at giving instruction about timeframe and about the time management, something we do every day, right?
it is nice to say that by serving as a VPM, Vice President Membership, allow me to learn how to manage this club’s membership and encourage every member to come to the meeting, else that i grab a chance to tell others about what toastmaster is. then, by doing those things, i practice myself to manage a club, to motivate members, to persuade someone else and to share the benefit of toastmaster’s membership to others.
ok, ladies and gentlements.. now.. you be the witness my testimony about the benefit i got from this club.. i have grabbed my turn… now it is yours… and we welcome you here at the catalyst.. Happy Toastmasters….
Waalaikumussalam

A Glimpse About Tax

Assalamualaikum and good day all…
From year to year.. In this development era currently, our beloved nation, The Republic of Indonesia, is always encountered with a tend-to-increase needs . it covers many aspects in association with reality that never does the development go on except it has many fields to deal with, except the general election in the USA..from health to education, and even from economics to infrastructure.. these kinds of fields are costly to be well-developed.. but it is a necessity………
And Tax, is the only major source levied by state to fund this continuous process. in this case we have Directorate General of Taxation (let’s call it DGT..), to administer this mandate. in every single beginning of year, the state always targets a number of rupiahs needed to be collected by DGT. And for your information, from The Time Series Analysis i have, the target has a trend to get higher and higher than previous years..
Happy Toastmasters and guests..You can say that DGT has a heavier duty from year to year, it is true..You can say that DGT has a shopisticated task to conduct, it is also true…and it is absolutely true if You say that, as an employee of DGT, i deserve for higher salary.. (:D)
Ladies and Gentlemens..Please take a look at this chart..you see that if we drag a straight line and make a linkage line above these points, we will get a linear line with a positive direction showing that the number of rupiahs ever collected and coming next one are always getting higher than ever. the higher the target, the harder the efforts commited.
Now, no less than 2months from now on,.. we are going to leave 2008, and the good news for all of us here is the fact that the target determined for this year is reachable, we meet the target, and it can be possible to be happened because of the God’s benevolent and solid cooperation and hardwork both citizens and DGT.
hopefully we can keep this harmonious condition to fullfill the tax revenue target determined for the year of 2009, we know it is not an easy thing to reach but with the unity we can commit to realize it, we hope for an adjacent life, with no unjustice and poverty for all of citizens of Republic of Indonesia.. we go along with a sincere tendency and pure willingness, not with fraud or deceptive, to meet the target and always try to perform our best, may God bless us..
Now, let us drink to our success for this year and our effort next years… may we meet the target again!!!Happy Toastmaster……….

There Is A Parting In Every Meeting

Assalamualaikum and dear all..
whenever you pass your days, I am sure that you have something always going along with you, as I have. This thing comes in advanced before my eyes, it is a tool assisting me to see something away, an eye glasses. You all may have a unique story related to the thing, as I have too..because I have my own tale with my eye glasses, that I am going to tell you here..
Currently, I become different than my peers since I am an eye-glass boy, I don’t know exactly, how I could be in my life, it is probably a genetic gene derived from my mother, she ever told me that she had been an eye-glass woman since she was in basic school. Could you imagine that? And how about me? That was in the middle of 2002 when I felt something unwell with my sight, even I already sat in the first row in the class, I could not see clearly what written in the blackboard was. But at that time I did not pay my attention well, I just considered that usual that would heal itself within several days later.
Unfortunately, my sight was getting worse, I just was at the third grade in my senior high school when I discovered whatever I saw away would be blurry. Really good then actually if I wore an eye glasses at that time but I just neglected the suggestion. Until finally when I entered college, not much too my despair, I had an internist check my eyes normality. The result showed that I had better wear an eye glasses in order to avert more bad impact, my eyes was already -2,5 D, a myope then. Knowing about that, I decided to wear it, I still remembered the price of my first eye-glasses that was Rp. 230.000, my uncle brought that for me. The optic store was located in Bogor city, West Java. Form here I undergo my life as an eye-glass guy, until now.
Above was the story telling you the tale leading me to use this thing and how I could get my first eye-glasses. That first eye glasses really helped me study during my college time until I had my internship program in November 2005, it was no more in use because my carelessness L , once upon a day, when I was at my dorm, I read a book then I put my eye glasses down before my stuffs, I realized then, I was not be able to see well without my eye glasses, when I stood up to seek it, I discovered nothing, I just searched for it nowhere, just around my room, but.. when I felt rough under my foot, slowly and nervously I bowed my head to see what that was. L L I was shocked then since apparently I was standing while footing above my eye-glasses. I took it and made sure that the thing was the eye glasses belong to me. Yes, there was no doubth, that was the thing I searched for. After having this accident, I need to have the new one, because the old did not deserve to user, the frame was broken and the mirror was loose from the scrub.
It is too heavy for me to work without my eye glasses but at that time I had to. I was in an internship program at Pratama Palmerah Service Tax Office, after work hour I went to Slipi Bridge to buy a new glasses, as I remembered we could buy several priceless stuffs, in fake edition for sure :P, in there, including the eye glasses I need. Yes, that was not difficult for me to bargain with the trader to reach the cheapest price suit my budget. My 2nd eye-glasses, I bought at Slipi Bridge, was about Rp 25.000 only J and again, it was in fake form. It did not matter for me but my sight did matter. This 2nd series accompanied my adventure during my time as an trainee then as I was positioned as an civil servant I chose to buy a better one, the origin product I meant :D, and then as I planned, in a night I went to Plaza Tendean near to my old dorm in Mampang Residency, shout Jakarta. In there, I stopped by ‘Optik Cahaya’ and I bought a new one, I still just remained confused if I flashback to that moment when I bargain for my 3rd eye glasses, its frame, a brown and white straight strip, was up to Rp600.000 and the lenses itself cost me for about Rp200.000 L, its sum was round Rp800.000,- an I just agreed that. Too extravagant, too irrational if I may say to myself then, but I am losing my normal, I bought it, mostly my friends commented on my 3rd eye-glasses that it was pretty nice, suit me as well. J heal my sadness caused my foolish really. No less than 3 months after having that new one, something bad happened to me again. In an afternoon I had a Ashar Pray in a Masjid close from my dorm. As usual, when I prayed I put my glasses on my Sajadah, before my foot. Until I completed my pray, everything run well. I just stayed for several minutes after praying and when I was really in my deep focused when a big guy came to walk in front of me and unintentionally footed my 800.000-rhupiah eye glasses, there was no doubt, the glasses broken in many sides, I became angry then and I wanted to sue him, but I know that I just an non-native resident and he also footed It with no acknowledgement, then I went home while bringing a long my furious. I still recalled what people used to say about this: ‘the stuff could be too expensive for you to use then it avoided by itself in many ways you would not know’, I just laughed then.. J ….

Now I am still wearing my 4th eye-glasses, may be this one can go along with me for years, with no accident and incident occurred, amin.. J.. ok then, it is already midnight, I need to go to sleep, thanks then.. good night and assalamualaikum..

A Gag at National Monument,Monas

Assalamualaikum and Dear all..
Some people are good at knowing the spots and the routes , otherwise some are not. And I was , once ever, to be the second type. A few days ago my old friends, along with his colleagues, came to stay for several days at my dorm, they were on vacation actually to kill their day-off. It is rare for them to visit Jakarta, so that I decided to take them to have a look, everything was ok in the 1st day, because I didn’t guide them directly as we had a new friend taking us by a blue-chevrolet car to anywhere we wanted.
In the 2nd day, I planned to let them see a national monument, renowned as nation symbol, most said in a coaxing word that you would be considered having not been to Jakarta if you haven’t seen this plush tower . having an experience to enjoy free-car day at the fourth week in a month, surreptitiously i just thought to invite them join that. Well. From all that schedule, I had a way to go. In a morning I woke them up, it could be earlier than they had usually, but since we were on the path to spend the fresh-air in the morning, I’d better ask them to be ready. We leaved my dorm toward the national symbol, called Monas, by having a busway. But I had planned not to drop them directly close to the national building, a little bit distant in order to invite them enjoying free-car day.
We had the bus dropped us in a halte so close with the road where the free-car day conducted. Still, they didn’t know about that, but I was jittery because when I already reached that road, I saw there were many cars and four-wheel vehicles in a traffic as usual, so I kept asking myself, ‘where is the free-car day?’ then I approached a man then asked him, and he answered that the moment I planned to see, is only conducted on Monday, and as I and my friends were having a jogging on Saturday, it was impossible for us to see that. Then I imagined what we were in a long way to reach Monas, only walked through the pavement along Medan Merdeka Street, it would feel boring, really. The worse thing for me is the nightmarish that it will diminish their nice portent to me, it is just the same as that I will have something menacing my credit as a four-year resident living in Jakarta. But I concealed with my frightening then. To kept the time short, I preferred to take a Taxi to be faster to arrive at Monas. Then we got in to a Blue-Bird Taxi, and I told the driver to stop us at Monas, from that moment I was just in one of the most embarrassing moments in my life, because not more 50 steps from the spot we had the taxi, we would already arrive Monas, I shock, I remembered that Monas was located in Medan Merdeka street too, West Medan Merdeka exactly, meanwhile we had just passed through the shout Medan Merdeka. I had to pay the minimum tariff to the tax then that was Rp.10.000,00. Even we just spent Rp6.000,00 for its charge.
I did apologize to my friends then I told them that sometimes I couldn’t easily remind a place and how to get it, they just retained their LOL then, I knew it. And also I realized that it will be linger within their memory that when they had a vacation in Jakarta, they had ever a smart guide, leading them to Monas by having a Taxi, although they were already 50 steps more to reach it.

Ok, see you around…
Wassalamualaikum

Seeing The Unseen

Assalamualaikum and Good Day All
What do you want to be in the future, my dearest son? (while jumping) the kid replied : ‘I want to be a Pilot, daddy as I want to set my foot on the moon’ then the daddy said :’wow my dearest son, will you pick me up to go along with you there?’ the kid then responded by nodding his head cheerfully.
Do we still remember when for the first time we were asked about what our idea was? We might have many things in mind, but only one will be chosen and the chosen thing always hangs on before our head until we are in an adolescence age.
Ladies and gentleman… Honorable Judges… Contest Chair…
Since I was in Junior High School, I was fond of being a doctor, even to be a doctor always comes as my final answer whenever my friends proposed me a question : ‘Hi.. Erikson what is your idea in the future?’ I just confidently replied to them : ’Doctor… Doctor… and Doctor !!!’. never every minutes and hours of my school time elapsed, except I always passed it with studying,
lots of moments to be with my friends, I wasted!! lots of moments to care about others, I casted !! even a piece of minutes to think of another choices, I didn’t take!! until at the end of my study in senior high school, the bliss and the bite came together into my life.
the blissfulness came to me on behalf of a letter of acceptance to the one of state universities in my country, and majoring in medicine..
I was really excited, I shouted, ‘mom.. dad.. come on take a look at this.. a letter of acceptance from university.. I was accepted.. I will be a doctor, your son will be a doctor!! ‘
they were really happy too, It is shined from their eyes.. but after a moment of silence, we were bitten by a fact, a fact that the cost we had to provide was unaffordable, too expensive and too high. In a desperate, I’d got to burry my dream, and kept thinking of reasons, why it happened to me!! And I just said to my self that time alone would tell.
Ladies and Gentleman…
As the time passed, i still can not be able to forget my disappointment, even at the same time I was already a student of the first diploma degree at state college of accountancy… after several years, I found that the forced choice I took had saved my life and my family, after a year studied in state college of accountancy I was posted in one of government institution, I can make some money and help my parent and even I can fund my own continuation school to the higher level, I just feel grateful to God Almighty for these blessings and regret all my cursing and impudent words in the past. All of these things is the things I should see in advanced actually, but at that time I just could see nothing but darkening shadows before me.
Ladies and gentleman…
It is very devastating to face the reality that we are no more on the way we do expect, we are getting away from our idea we determined , we may ask ourselves : ‘o what is this?.. I don’t suppose to be here, it is not the place I belong’. Those who are very ambitious in pursuing their ideas will be in depression like this in a very long time, they just regretted, cursed and even looked for scapegoat to blame for.. But actually that is not the way the thing goes in our life, when we set one idea leading us to be what we want to be, at the same time we are pointing a certain door which we believe as an entrance showing us to the future we dream…

Mostly all of us will stay focused on the door we have picked, meanwhile another doors will be neglected, all the efforts made to open the door sometimes are not followed by a preparation to face a failure, so that when we find out all efforts we made did not work, the world just become darker and darker.
Ladies and gentleman , there are many things provided for us in this world, they are visible things actually but all the ambitions and blindness of heart to one thing make them unseen, we just need to be ready for a failure or unexpected results whenever we make efforts, by doing so… , we can see the others door opened for us…
The thing behind the door may be a different thing from what we want, but believe it or not, it is the best thing for our life… and it can lead us to the success if we heartily release the thing we cannot reach, just let the dreams we cannot realize disappear with the wind and enter the new world with a new hope from another doors… and as we undergo our life inside the door, sooner or later we will discover a reason why God opens the door for us..

Sunset Policy

Sunset Policy
Please tell us, what the meaning of SunsetPolicy is.
Sunset Policy is a giving taxation facility policy , only applied for the year of 2008, that is to do the abolition of the taxation administrative penalty including interest as it is regulated within article 37A of the consolidation of law of the Republic Indonesia number 28 of 2007 concerning general provisions and tax procedures.
….hopefully, this policy can be a starting point to grow up the trust between the government and the citizens (tax payers). And for our information, at the beginning this policy had triggered many controversies but as the time passed all parties can understand what this policy held for, they positively responded it and just for accommodating their exciting participation, now DGT has prolonged this policy up to February 2009.
What is actually the background of this policy?
Law number 28 of 2007 enables The Directorate General of Taxes to gather the taxation data and to obligate government institutions, boards, associations and others parties to give the data to DGT. This stipulation has enabled DGT to know the untruth of the taxation obligation fulfillment conducted by the citizens. To evade the citizens from the determination of the taxation penalty rising if they do not administer their taxation obligation well, DGT in the year of 2008, gives an enormous opportunities to the citizens to start fulfilling their taxation obligation honestly with no coercion and to do it well.
….DGT hopes for the frankness from the citizens in reporting their tax obligation within their tax written, so that by applying this, and as it is expected that way, by having this opportunity, the citizens are allowed to report their unreported data by reporting it in correction tax written. Through this mechanism, the side effect this state will gain is the increasing of the revenue from taxation, tax income exactly and else that DGT will have plenty of better data.
As you informed before, that the main goal of this policy is to mending the taxation data through the correction reporting, with no administrative penalty for those doing so, apparently, what for the data will be used by DGT? and how does DGT cope with many opinions remarking that this policy is just the same with the deceit to trap the citizens later?
DGT has an authority to issue Tax Payer Identification number(NPWP) directly without the taxpayers’ acknowledgement when known that they are already qualified both subjectivity and objectivity requirementsbut they do not do registration, the clear and complete data will help DGT own sufficient proves to do so. So that do not expect for an escape, they will be detected.
And for our information, sunset policy is not a trap, even this program shows the trust given by DGT to the tax payers , there is no way to do a trapping since all the decrees and stipulations formed to create a law protection and easiness for the taxpayers to complete their right and obligation in taxation. And the vital thing is their fairness, frankness and clearness in filling and reporting their tax written or its correction. It is clear that the tax written submitted to DGT cannot be used as a base to issue the notice of tax assessment.
…after the sunset policy ends up, DGT will intensify tax investigation based on data it has, and if it is proved that the taxpayers do a cheat in their tax written, it will become DGT’s duty to investigate and punish them withpenalties, so if you all want to have a deep sleep indeed, please fill your tax written correctly, completely and clearly.
One more question, who can apply for Sunset Policy?
Personals who haven’t had TIN yet, who are in the year of 2008 heartily register themselves to own it and report their annual tax written for the taxable year of 2007 and the previous years no later than March 31, 2009.
Personals and corporate taxpayers who already have TIN priorto the year of 2008, delivering S their correction annual tax written for the taxable year of 2006 and the previous years to report the uncalculated and the unreported income within the previous tax written.

Dreams From My Father

Assalamualaikum and Good day all..
Tuhan tolonglah sampaikan sejuta sayangku untuknya…Ku terus berjanji takkan khianati pintanya…
Ayah dengarlah betapa sesungguhnya ku mencintaimu…Kan kubuktikan ku mampu penuhi maumu…
The excerpt of that song kept echoing in my mind when I tramped to my hometown, and even when I was on my own solitude.. the song addressed to all fathers in the world and to my father as well.
As a good son I try to make a pride that goes to him, I know my father has a real fascination for the newest politic information happened in our country, so that i read a book authored by one of our president candidates, and I said to him : ‘’look daddy, this man is really good at writing, his writings indirectly teach me about what leadership is”. .. at that time, I hoped for a pride arising from his comments due to the fact that his son is reading a prestigious book. Then he remarked soberly : “Don’t you think he is campaigning, it is just a strategy to bolster his candidacy!!!” he left me in confusion, afterward I told my mother about the odd thing I had just had, and my mother gave me a tentative smile, while saying : “my son, you need to know your father is a proponent of another candidates” .
That was the thing, but no matter what, I know my father always keeps on loving his family.
My father now is a 54-year-old father, he is a family man, both his blue-veined hands are the blatant witness going along with his struggles to support his family needs, and he had been in this way when my grandfather died almost 30 years ago, my grandfather didn’t leave much properties that his descendants can living from. And as one of the older sons, my father was called to help his mother’s and his siblings’ live. Many things he did, and may be since then he became hardworking person, never does he stop from thinking what kinds of activities he can conduct in order to fulfill his responsibility, I would like to say that may be his principle is “the hardest thing to do in the world is doing nothing”. In the year of 1980s he would be happy whenever he saw his mother and his siblings , enjoyed the result of his hard-work, although it was just a little dinner for one night or a uniform school for his younger brothers and sisters. He loved to share to feel happy. Nowadays his happiness comes up when we all his children can get a better job to support our own life in the future so that it may evade us from the suffer he had ever had in the past. He once said to me : “I have a dream, I want to see you all get a proper job, or even if I can make you get it, I will make it.. I don’t want you to feel as I always feel as whole of my life.. so that please study as good as possible.. ”
One day I asked him a question : “Daddy, why did you do all the struggles and sacrifices to your family?” and then he answered : “That is what a man lives for.” I know somehow all the responsibilities he have are not easy to complete, sometimes at the balcony at our home I saw him pondering, and when I approached him and asked him what he was thinking about, he just said “nothing”. He could lie then, but the wrinkles on his forehead could not.
I am not who I am now without him, he is the one introducing me to English, he registered me to the one of English course institutions to learn English, he motivated me to study well at school and at home. And he supported all my plan to continue my school when I finished my senior high school, although I knew at that time he would not have enough money to let me enter university education, but with all ALLAH’s benevolent I was accepted in one of free of charge colleges, State College of Accounting.
Life is not as easy as we arrange, we need to survive with all the possible way we can make, and my father has already know the sweet and the sour in this life, he opens my insight about what actually life is, with all the obstacles I may face in the next coming days, only patience and submission to ALLAH which will help me to be in the direction I wish.
To my father in my hometown, I want to say my thanks and :
“Well, dad.. now you are already 54 years old.. may ALLAH.SWT always keeps you and guides you, i.. am proud to be your son, wish me luck to realize the dreams you have ever said, amin..”

USA's Debts To The World..

My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbears, and true to our founding documents.
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.
These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land — a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.
Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.
We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted — for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.
For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.
For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.
Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.
This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.
For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act — not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.
Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions — who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.
What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them — that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public’s dollars will be held to account — to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day — because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.
Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control — and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience’s sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.
Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.
We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort — even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.
To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society’s ills on the West — know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.
To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world’s resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.
As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment — a moment that will define a generation — it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.
For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter’s courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent’s willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.
Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends — hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism — these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility — a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.
This is the price and the promise of citizenship.
This is the source of our confidence — the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.
This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed — why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.
So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America’s birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:
“Let it be told to the future world…that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive…that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it].”
America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children’s children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God’s grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.

The Mobilized Grassroot

Assalamualaikum and nice to see you all…
What is coming up in your mind when somebody asks you what the white color deserves to symbolize for???? I am so sure that all the things emerging are about the sacred, the purity and the truth and something like that.
Fellow toastmasters and distinguished guests… now please imagine this condition… There was a war, both of the parties kept attacking each other, and after a couple of time……………………………………………….
(While simulating the hoisting white-flag)
one of them decided to hoist their white flag, signing the surrender……………………………………………………….
And after that the defeated party was on authorization of the winner, they were enslaved, they were imperialized and they lived in lost!!!!!!!!!
The condition above is just a sample explaining that the white color in certain case can be used also to symbolize inability to take action, surrender toward the condition and even despair.
Fellow toastmaster and distinguished guests….
Our statehood life is really in transformation era, and transformation itself involves change which will lead this state to be stable in politics, economics and culture fields. Nowadays, with all resources we have, this nation is in her way to prosper her citizens and many turbulences happened in the present times just come up as a challenge needed to be conquered to define herself as welfare state, with all prosperity and convenience provided for her societies.
Well, for this our beloved nation is in her way to transform, so that all the chaos and shortages are the risk needed to be faced, the efforts to change are conducted among the poverty, crisis, distrust but it doesn’t matter since many transformations begin with these things, or with a predicament.
Well, ladies and gentleman…
As we know, We are about to have general election for house of representatives and president in next April this year, this democratic event is one of the ways to realize the transformation we want to have. Even it is a little bit difficult to conduct due to the plague of despair among the society. Many societies nowadays are on their self-interest, they do not care about who will be chosen as their council and who will come up as the elected president later. They prefer to take action to become what known as “The White Group” . The White Group is a group or personal choosing not to vote for any candidates in general election. It is formed over the frustration toward all the candidates that are considered bad.
Based on data from the governor election administered in several provinces in 2008, the number of the white group voter just get bigger and bigger, for example in Middle Java, its amount reaches 49%, in West Java it is up to 35%, in North Sumatera until 43% residents decided not to vote. And even in Jakarta, the capital city of this nation, The number of white group voter reach 39%. What a worrying fact.

Fellow Toastmasters and distinguished guests….
Let me outline the reasons causing people prefer to be white group voter:
- There are no candidates fit their expectation, in their opinion it will be useless to vote for those who are not really in line in vision and mission with them, it will bring no change to be better by choosing that kind of person, they thought.
- There is a certain pride to be white group voter, it is considered sacred, yes.. white meaning sacred is a pride thing, it motivates them to stay not to vote, they will not feel guilty when they make no vote to any of the candidates, even they will be happy not choosing person they considered not good.
- Frustration and Skepticism, they are frustrated in facing any opportunities to be better, they prefer live in status quo, with no movement to the better future, since they lost their hope, and they just become skeptical when talking about every single hope arises.
Those who decide to be the white group voters are giving up to the situation, they are hopeless, they are unable to make even a little change, they neglect their valuable suffrage. But in fact in the deepest on their heart they are yielding a change, but it must be impossible to bring about that if they remain passive….
Ladies and gentleman….
The change we hope for so long will not come from itself, it is created and it deserves to struggle for, we cannot pass a judge to our national political leader and think of them as troublemaker or even a culprit. If we want to have a better condition in our statehood life, we just need to be proactive and participate on democratic party which we are about to have several months from now on. Just do a vote for candidates you may expect to bring about change, and the essential thing is they will not be able to make a change without your willingness to change, because the change doesn’t come from the top, but it comes from the mobilized grass root, and I am sure all of us here are the mobilized grass root loving this nation…
Back to TOM…

All About Novrizal :D

Assalamualaikum and good day all..
There is a famous proverb saying this :
“Life is heavy so that it is not good to make it heavier”
Once I met the proverb saying the truth, I have a run of luck for meeting my crony, named Novrizal , the guy who is sitting over there.. and since the last year had become my roommate too..
My friend, Novrizal, You are unique!
My friend, Novrizal, You are special!
And hopefully someone tells you that every day. But exactly what is it that’s so unique and special about you? Sure, because you’re very good at making others laugh! And you are very good at producing loud of laughter and fun for !
Fellow toastmasters and distinguished guests… our fellow Toastmaster Novrizal is concealing his real identity, among us, he seems just the same with others people surrounding him, but actually, Toastmaster Novrizal is a king….. even without a crown on his head… there will be a time when he will be welcomed as a king, that is when he comes back to his hometown, do you know where his hometown is? It is Prabumulih, Prabu means a king and Mulih is derived from a Javanese word meaning come back….
Our Toastmaster Novrizal was born with many talents, he can play basket ball well and he was an athlete representing students from Tax Major when we were at state college of accounting. Was not that great, right? And until nowadays, he still appear in shape because he always has an exercise routinely, especially for Futsall sport and every morning he is a jogger.
He can put up with many kinds of people, that is why he just get popular in his environment, if you come to Directorate of Taxation Information Technology, you will find out that Toastmaster Novrizal has three different names and three of them are the same in popularity.
just randomly get some people, and ask them :”Do you know Mas Novrizal??” and they will say : “yes we do!!”
and again just get some people else, and ask them : “Do you know Mas Taufik??” and they will say : “yes we do!!”
and once more, just get some people again and ask them : “Do you know Waknang??” and they will surely say : “indeed we do!!”
apparently, I am afraid of him when it comes for him to get married, I am afraid he will change his name again.. but for you girls, it doesn’t matter, because he will keep his loyalty with you, whatever his name will be.
Ladies and gentleman, may be you would like to know the history of his three names, just ask him by yourself after this meeting…


For me myself, It is not as easy as reversing my right palm to differentiate between him in serious version and in kidding version , since there is a seriousness in his joking and vice versa, there is a joking in his seriousness.. one day, when we were having a lecture, I just was in strange when I saw Toastmaster Novrizal kept jesting with friends at the back, with not really paying attention to the lecture.. but I thought, that was OK, since I know he is a smart guy, he can read the material from the book and make his memorizing lingers in his memory. And after that, I come to him to borrow from him an USB to save my data, then when I plug the USB to my computer, I am just curious for a folder entitled ‘MATERI KULIAH’ and then without his acknowledge I made a copy of it and play it.. then.. I shocked, because the files within the folder are the recording of the lecturer explanation during the lecturing time… then I guessed “that is why almost in every lecture he just take it easy, because he makes a recording of it and play it anytime he wishes with no need to read the book”
Ok, ladies and gentleman, I am sure you will not mind my saying that he is a diligent student and for him, neatness is counted, for several months I had become his nearest neighbor , I never see his room in a mess, is that right Toastmaster Novrizal? J
Wassalamualaikum and see you all..

The Lumberman Erikson

Assalamualaikm and dear my buddy..
There is a young lumberman, named Erikson, whose his work every day is toppling trees , he is just a newbie for this kind of job but he is really happy in undergoing his days as a lumberman because he is well-paid for that and he has a nice and attentive boss.. a battle axe is his weapon escorting him in completing his days as well.
And at five o’clock after working hours , he will shout : ‘’hurray… hurray.. I made the cut and I call it a day!! ”
In his first few months, he can topple 8 trees in a day.. and it is always that way for about next 4-5 months …. For this good job, he always get a praise from his boss saying genuinely like this : “your work is so superb that I admire you a lot, keep up this good work ok?!!”
Lumberman Erikson is really motivated for the praising from his boss….
Nevertheless, coming to the 6th months, he can be able to topple 6-7 trees in a day only.. he is grumbling :”well, it seems to be decreasing but it is not too bad, may be I just unlucky because the trees I’ve got to cut down have a hard bark and wood”
Day by days.. he tries to work harder than ever to improve his productivity, but at the end, it doesn’t pay off… the more the days he passed, the number of trees toppled are decreasing..
‘Have I lost my ability and my power?’ lumberman Erikson was in his monologue of silent.
‘How can I account for my job to my boss??’ and afterward.. with a bowing head he faced his boss, and apologized for his weakness and complained since he didn’t have any idea about how it could be.
Then the boss, after listening to his subordinate, proposed him a question? The boss said :”when was the last time you sharpen your battle axe??”
Having for an unexpected question, Lumberman Erikson petrified in shock ..
Ladies and gentleman
Believe it or not, unconsciously we are lumberman for our own works, and the things such as: paper, documents, reports or complains we deal with are the trees… we’ve got to complete it with limited time provided, from 8 am – 5 pm ….
From the story above, we witness that lumberman Erikson is a really high-motivated lumberman, but as the time passed, he just felt something decreasing that he didn’t know how it could be until his attentive boss reminding him of sharpening his battle axe…
Well ladies and gentleman… as lumberman Erikson decided to sharpen his battle axe, we also need to do the same, we need to revitalize our eagerness and refresh our mind, because it is an undeniable fact that one day in our working periods we will be on our own nadir, we don’t know exactly when, but when we are having this, all the things before us are something annoying, no matter weather they are non-living or living things,

Instead of blaming for some one or the condition over this thing, actually, we had better take a look at ourselves first, we need to admit that we are in a need to take a rest from all the routine, I am used to going outside to kill my boredom, may be going to some place offering a new and different view is very good for us, because it releases our mind from the business and gives it such a freshness and new sensation to feel, by doing so, we are giving a chance for our mind to take a rest and feed it with a nutritious input so that our spirit to work and our willingness to come with a sincere devotion will get sharper .
Ladies and gentleman ..
The boss, having his subordinate in shock and confuse, just give an advice for him by saying this : “do you still remember when the first days you work, you can topple many trees, because your battle axe so sharp that there is no doubt about that… but you never sharpen it, you just force it to topple and topple from trees to trees, that is why it turns out to be dull, what you need now is to take your time to sharpen it, and take a rest also for a couple a minute to empower yourself again, and afterward just go back to your work..”
Then the lumberman Erikson nodded : “well, sir, I’ll do it and thanks for your advice”
Ok ladies and gentleman.. the thing needed to be understood is when we are taking a rest, it doesn’t mean that we stop, but actually at that moment we are preparing ourselves for having further steps. Not to be hesitate to take your time to feed your mind and feel the sensation of the freshness and eagerness..

I Blog For Palestine

Assalamualaikum and dear all..
Palestinians’Tears, it sounds spellbinding and that is the fittest phrase to delineate how Palestinian people live in this present times, when I was just a kid,I frequently heard about the conflict in the middle-east, I didn’t know which countries evolved within it. Finally I slowly put my concern to that catastrophic since I witness by my self the sufferance, homelessness, famine, and terrifying events experienced by refugees or the victim of the long-time war. Little do I know about this conflict, but I feel worthy of telling others about what I know about it, by far, I read many books informing about this matter, watch a discovery movie and have a discussion with many people as well as consider my religion, Islam, explainingabout this matter through the Holly Koran.
This long-time war involves Jews and Palestinians, by far, I know that when Prophet of Musa released Jews from Pharaoh Jail went through Red Sea after Musa’s miracle dividing the sea into two part leaving a wide gap to pass, and after that Musa led the Jews to the promised land as ALLAH.SWT defined, but the Jews themselves then rejected it, ALLAH.SWT got angry to them, they are really in a great zoolm then. They did not want to live in an adjacent life, though.Because they found out that the land gifted to them was already inhabited by former residents, Arabs tribe, until finally they lived in nowhere, but they were spread through out the world. The promised land itself, Palestine, was a land inhabited by indigenous residents, the Arabs. Around 1920s, Palestine was occupied by England imperialist until finally the imperialist deprived their occupation period, an armed with this moment, the spread Jews were in a organized program to gather in one land, one place and established their own nation as they had ever been promised to make it, but may be they forget that once they were given that opportunity, they indeed rejected it. But since many Jews successfully helped the England imperialist lobby many allies to stand with them, the imperialist made a new regulation then, before they revoked their occupation in Palestine, they allowed a number of Jews immigrants entered Palestine, but as the time passed, the number got more and more, Palestine became evicted from their own homeland. The situation just turned to be worse as Jews tried to invite all of the spread Jews through out the world to reside in Palestine, the program they called as Zionism, all Palestine people harshly rejected the massive migration to their homeland, in many ways, after all diplomacies had failed, the remaining choice wasby violence.
Jews legitimated their action on behalf of their belief, to live in promised land. They conducted many ways in order to make all Jews live together there, migration waves came every year in massive numbers. they started to evict Palestinians, and Palestinians would not let it happened. They would not move out from where their were born, they maintained it. And from here, the chaos was just the thing. Palestinian people had no weapons to war, but Jews had. Before the war came out to be worse, in 1947, the united nations proposed a plan to partition Palestine and create a homeland for Jews people. More than 50 years later, conflict between Jews and Palestinian is still unresolved and it is often marked by violence. Because Palestinian people thought the land divided belonged to them, they would not admit the establishment of Jews country, Israel. Meanwhile after getting approval about their homeland establishment, Israel didn’t feel satisfied, they keep enlarging the borders, the only thing they wanted was just one that was to vindicate Palestinians’ trace from the land. They bombed Palestinians’ settlement and other public spots there. Palestinian would not remain silent. They did an effort to maintain their self-esteem, since they had no high-class weapon, they just threw bricks and rock debris to the Israelis, and in order to do recompense some Palestinians chose to commit suicide by self-bombing so close to the Israelis that they would die as the faithful departed and torture Israelis. All Palestinians’ effort are the way to maintain their homeland, because Israelis want to vanish them from the land, and this is just like an imperialism occurred in modern time, while there is no one even now. Israel has sophisticated weapons sent by USA, UK to them. Whenever Israel do a bombing to Palestine, they said that they just do a self-defense because Palestinians people attacked them in advance. But the real things were not like that. The Palestinian people kept attacking them by throwing bricks and stones just in order to say to Israel that they don’t deserve to enlarge their territorial and make Palestinian refuge in the tents. But Israelis was helped by USA, UK and many others countries, Israelis can do a public lying by saying to the world that Palestinian people don’t want them to live there, in fact there was already an accord agreeing that Palestinian and Israel would live in adjacent life and Palestine went along with that. So that when Israel bombed Palestine, the world remain silent. But when the Palestine do the same, the world would say that the terrorist has to be punished. Recently almost 400 people in Palestine died caused by bomb attack conducted by Israelis, and again the world just do nothing. USA which is known by police world still remains silent. But on behalf of brotherhood as a moslem I appealed to all of us to help Palestine on the way we can do, we can donate by transferring our money to account number 1010005557 to financially help Palestine. And don’t forget to pray for them, for their salvation amin…
