Gedung Arsip Nasional
The National Archives building was built as a residence in 1760 by Reiner de Klerk, who became the governing general of the Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC), Dutch United East India Company, in 1777. Reiner de Klerk's residence was constructed as a compound of five buildings. The main building is a stately two-storey, brick structure with a high pitched roof and features a grand entrance hall and a beautifully decorated light vent above the main doors. The other buildings in the complex are smaller but are similar in style and were built as administrative offices and to house servants.
Over its history the complex has changed hands a number of times. After the death of Reiner de Klerk the buildings were sold and later became an orphanage. The complex was subsequently abandoned and was left to deteriorate until the Dutch colonial Government converted it for use by the Mining Department. In 1925 the main building was renovated and became the Landsarchief (national archive). When the Indonesian Government took over the building upon Independence in 1945, it continued to function as an archive and has since been known as 'Gedung Arsip Nasional Republic Indonesia' (the National Archive Building of the Republic of Indonesia). The Indonesian Government expanded the compound with the addition of a two-storey u-shaped building, joined to the rear auxiliary building. The building's function continued until the mid nineteen-eighties when the archives were relocated to a more modern building. The complex then became vacant and steadily deteriorated until restoration work began in 1997

Giant seawall plan to save sinking Jakarta
(27 Jul 2019) Indonesia's president has said he wants the speedy construction of a giant sea wall around Jakarta to prevent the low-lying capital from sinking under the sea, lending renewed backing and a sense of urgency to a slow-moving and politically contested mega-project.
President Joko Widodo and his government are up against a tight timetable, including a forecast by experts that at the current rate, one-third of Jakarta could be submerged by 2050.
The existential crisis facing the city is the culmination of decades of unfettered development, almost nonexistent urban planning and misrule by city politicians who have served private interests over those of the public.
Lacking a comprehensive piped water network, industry and homeowners have tapped into the city's aquifers, causing rapid subsidence in northern Jakarta, home to several million people.
In the northern area, the swampy ground has been sinking at an average of about 10 centimetres (4 inches) a year, and rising sea levels from a heated-up planet will compound the problem in decades to come.
The threats facing Jakarta are most visible in Muara Baru, a waterfront slum in the northwest of the city.
Here, a sea wall along the shore is meant to protect the area's makeshift shacks against the waters of the Java Sea, but the concrete barrier - raised and reinforced after a major flood more than a decade ago - has developed cracks.
A steady trickle of seawater leaks through it, covering the street running alongside the wall with a shallow brackish brew.
Houses are flooded frequently, and a half-submerged mosque on the bay side of the wall serves as a stark reminder of what could be in store for the entire area.
In an Associated Press interview Friday, Widodo said it's time to move ahead with the sea wall, a project the government first began to consider a decade ago.
The $42 billion project envisions three stages, starting with strengthening 30 kilometres (18 miles) of existing coastal dams and creating 17 artificial islands, and would be followed by building giant sea walls on the western and eastern sides of the bay.
Some local fishermen view the project with suspicion, fearing it will rob them of their livelihood.
Being submerged is all due to natural causes, but if we can't work we will suffer for a long time, the city sinking is just part of the risk, Pandi, a local fisherman, said.

Indonesia - Economy in bad state
T/I: 10:02:38
The Indonesian economy suffered a further blow when the rupiah fell below the 13,000 mark to the U.S. dollar in trading Wednesday for the first time in weeks. Of the Asian currencies, the Indonesian rupiah was the biggest casualty of the day shedding 9.78 percent to 12,900 to the U.S. dollar on domestic selling. Trade was also thin at the Jakarta Stock Exchange with the composite index closing the morning 4.122 points lower at 406.950. The drop was being attributed to the weakness of the yen which crashed to a seven-year low early this week. Some 2,000 employees of the financially strapped national carrier, Garuda, protested outside the headquarters demanding total reform of the company and demanded Garuda president Soepandi, former adjutant to Suharto, to resign on charges of corruption, collusion and nepotism.

Fatahillah Square | Kota Tua Jakarta | Old Town of Jakarta | Old Batavia
#JakartaOldTown also known as Old Batavia, or locally referred to as #KotaTuaJakarta , was the downtown area of the capital long ago. The Old Town depicts the occupation of the Dutch East India Company.
A walk through town will immerse you in streetscapes lined with buildings boasting architectural features of a bygone era and in some corners around town you’ll find what is considered among the best samples of Dutch colonial architecture in the region.
Consistent with the nostalgic aura of the old town, most of the museums in Jakarta are found within Kota Tua.
These include the Jakarta History Museum, otherwise known as the #Fatahillah Museum, after the admiral and national hero who gave Jakarta its primordial name, ‘Jayakarta’, literally ‘town of victory’.
Other museums include the Indonesian Maritime Museum, two bank museums namely Bank Mandiri and Bank Indonesia, the Wayang or Puppet Museum, and the Museum of Sculpture and Ceramic Arts Museum.
Most of these museums are former colonial buildings and restored by retaining much of their original #architectural features.
The ceramic #arts #museum for example, was a Dutch courthouse, and Fatahillah was once the town hall of Batavia. The national archive building, or Gedung Arsip Nasional, which can also be found here, was the former residence of Dutch East Indies governor general Reynier de Klerck.

STORYLINE:
A massive bomb blast destroyed a nightclub on the tourist island of Bali, killing 150 people and injuring at least 178 others in what the national police chief on Sunday described as the worst act of terror in Indonesia's history.
A second bomb exploded about 100 metres (yards) from the U.S. consular office in Denpasar, the capital of Bali, said Lieutenant Colonel Yatim Suyatno, a police spokesman. There was no damage at the consular office and no casualties were reported from the blast, which occurred at 11:05 p.m (1505 GMT) on Saturday, he said.
Police had no immediate motive for the blasts, which occurred nearly simultaneously.
The blasts come amid increasing fears by the United States and others that Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, is becoming a safe haven for terrorists and that al-Qaida operatives are active there.
A White House spokeswoman Jeanie Mamo, said Washington was monitoring the situation and working with Indonesian authorities.
The explosion at the Sari Club was accompanied by a large fire that engulfed another nightclub nearby and caused carnage.
Several other buildings on the same block and a dozen cars were badly damaged by the blast and fire.
Police and the military are severely restricting access in and out of Bali from Denpasar's Ngurah Rai airport and ports in Benoa, Gilimanuk and
Padang Bai on Bali's east coast, according to a report carried by the state-run Antara news agency.
Bali is Indonesia's top tourist destination. Although Indonesia has been wracked by ethnic and religious violence since the overthrow four years ago of former dictator Suharto, Bali itself has remained untouched by conflict.
Unlike the rest of Indonesia, which is almost 85 percent Muslim, Bali itself is predominantly Hindu. Although Muslim radicals occasionally stage small-scale raids on nightspots in other parts of the country, Bali has never been affected.

INDONESIA: PREPARATIONS FOR NATIONAL ELECTION
Eng/Indonesian
Indonesia has been gearing up for a national election on Thursday which will see more than 100 (m) million people cast votes across a region spanning 5-thousand kilometres.
The scale of the ballot has forced Indonesia's civil servants to work overtime - building makeshift polling booths and installing a new computerised results system.
Thousands of law enforcers are also being deployed to prevent what's been a violent campaign from spilling over into a bloody election.
Policewomen were put through their paces in Jakarta's Monas park Tuesday in preparation for this week's nationwide poll.
More than 20-thousand law enforcement and military personnel will be deployed in the capital alone.
Tens of thousands of others will handle security around the hundreds of other Indonesian islands.
More than 350 people have been killed in election violence during the month-long campaign - most of them in traffic accidents.
Authorities are hoping they can keep election day incidents to a minimum.
Seeds of conflict have been detected all over the country - but officials will be keeping a particularly close watch on Jakarta, Pekalongan and Banjarmasin.
Banjarmasin - located on Borneo island - was the site of a politically motivated arson attack on a shopping mall which killed more than 130 looters on 25 May.
Besides the heavy security drills, other government workers and volunteers have spent the week assembling makeshift polling stations.
With 124 (m) million people registered to vote across five thousand kilometers, thousands of temporary booths are being rigged up.
In keeping with the government theme of the Festival of Democracy, many will be housed in circus-like tents.
The government wants the election to be a showcase for Indonesian democracy, but many key players are still threatening to boycott the poll.
Since Megawati Sukarnoputri was ousted from the Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI), it's been rumoured many of her supporters have vowed they might set fire to their ballot papers.
The government has been working overtime to try to persuade the electorate to show up on polling day and cast a vote for one of the three approved parties.
All across Jakarta and other cities around the country, signs urge voters to make the election a success.
The government has even invested in a new computer system to process most of the results within a few hours of the close of polls.
It took a year to prepare and requires satellite facilities in many of the far-flung areas of the country.
Three computers process results - each dealing with nine provinces.
With polls opening at 8 A-M (0000 GMT) and closing at 2 P-M (0600 GMT), authorities hope to announce the results of Jakarta's ballot by 7 P-M local time (0300 GMT).
But some remote regions may take several days to declare.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Approximately three days because we have remote places, with high mountains and small islands, so take about 90 per cent.
SUPER CAPTION: Sardjono, Election Committee
Final officials results will be announced June 17th.
Jakarta's train stations have been crowded since the weekend with people returning to their home provinces to vote.
Many of the capital city's travellers seemed happy enough to head off for an extended weekend.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I get to go home. My employer has given me permission to go back to my hometown until Sunday.
SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop
SOUNDBITE: (Bahasa Indonesia)
As a good citizen, we have the right to choose one party, but it's a secret who I'm voting for.
SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop
But for an election which has already stirred such heated confrontation, the result itself may be something of an anticlimax.

INDONESIA: JAKARTA: SITUATION UPDATE
Indonesian/Nat
Indonesian soldiers marched into the parliament building in Jakarta late on Friday, ordering student protesters to end their five-day occupation.
Up until their crackdown, Indonesia's military had stood by - watchful but peaceful - while students occupied the seat of government.
Only hours before, soldiers had been dancing in the parliament grounds in an effort to diffuse tensions between groups for and against new President B-J Habibie.
Yelling Disperse, soldiers in camouflage uniforms with sticks marched into parliament after dark, rounding up student protesters who had occupied the complex for days.
About two-thousand students locked arms, sang the national anthem and waved flags as a larger number of troops hemmed them in and escorted them to waiting buses.
Hours earlier, new president B.J. Habibie dumped former President Suharto's daughter and his golfing buddy from the cabinet but kept several key ministers.
This angered students whose protests had led to Indonesia's first leadership change in 32 years - in defiance of military orders to vacate the parliament, they stayed put.
The violence of the crackdown was a far cry from the scenes earlier in the day when military troops entertained protesters.
They put down their guns and - to the surprise of the protesters - starting dancing and singing.
This soon grabbed the attention of the demonstrators - some of whom ended up joining in.
The soldiers were resorting to these unusual tactics in an effort to disperse supporters and opponents of the new president who had started shouting insults at each other.
Some of the protesters believed that newly appointed President Habibie is too close to the old regime and should not be allowed to rule the country.
They were shouted down by Habibie's supporters who shouted their approval for the new leader.
Meanwhile, at a local mosque in another part of town, opposition leader Amien Rais made a speech after the traditional Islamic Friday prayers.
Rais commented on the new cabinet line-up, which the new president announced earlier on Friday.
He said he was neither pleased nor displeased with its make-up, even though it still reflected the old ways of Suharto.
SOUNDBITE: (Indonesian)
I ask Mr. Habibie, now you go to the front and stop the economic crisis as soon as possible so it doesn't get worse. And most importantly, you should prepare a fresh election so that in the future we will have a government that represents the people, not the power.
SUPER CAPTION: Amien Rais, Muhammadiyah Muslim Organisation
Emil Salim, who expressed a desire to challenge Suharto in the last election, also made an appearance before demonstrators.
He is a prominent opponent of the Suharto regime and roused the crowd with his calls for reform.
Lately, he has been overtaken in the popularity stakes by Rais, who has put himself at the forefront of the opposition movement.
But Salim and Megawati Sukarnoputri - another opponent of Suharto - still have support in challenging Habibie.

STORYLINE
Nobel Peace Prize winner Jose Ramos-Horta was sworn in as East Timor's president on Sunday, vowing to unite the desperately poor nation more than a year after violence brought down its young government.
But hours after he took the oath of office, a clash in the capital left at least one man dead and several others wounded, police and hospital officials
said. United Nations peacekeepers were deployed to help restore order.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony with his right hand on the Constitution, Ramos-Horta swore he would promote freedom and national unity.
Presidential elections were largely peaceful and Ramos-Horta's decisive victory has led to hopes of an era of stability in the tiny nation following
bloodshed last year that left 37 people dead and sent more than 150,000 fleeing their homes in Dili.
The worst of the violence ended with the arrival of international troops and the installation of a new government, but sporadic acts of arson and gang
warfare have continued. Dozens of men clashed in Dili's streets on Sunday, some attacking refugees and fish vendors.
At least one man was killed and several others were wounded, said Mateus Fernandes, a police commander.
Ramos-Horta, who replaces Xanana Gusmao to become East Timor's second elected president, vowed to search for means to and the crisis. He said he would assist former independence fighters, poor people and stop gang fighting.
East Timor will hold parliamentary elections next month for the country's prime minister - a more powerful job than that of the largely ceremonial
president's post.
East Timorese, who suffered for decades under brutal Indonesian occupation, are hoping calm can be restored.
East Timor broke free from Indonesian rule in 1999 following a U.N.-sponsored ballot. Retreating Indonesian troops and loyalist militia's
destroyed much of the country, which was administered by the U.N. until 2002.
The inauguration coincides with the 5th commemoration of the country's independence.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon congratulated Ramos-Horta in a statement.

INDONESIA: JAKARTA: POLICE & TROOPS BLOCK STUDENTS MARCH
Natural Sound
Dozens of police and troops have blocked a street march by about 300 students demanding an end to the Indonesian military's role in politics.
The protesters, carrying banners and placards got within 200 metres (yards) of the national Parliament building in Jakarta.
But they were stopped by four lines of security personnel under an overpass, resulting in some minor scuffles and a major traffic jam.
The protest coincided with celebrations marking the 53rd anniversary of the founding of Indonesia's military.
Marching against the military.
Some 300 Indonesian student protesters heading down a main road in Jakarta towards the national Parliament building.
They're protesting against the army's role in the country's politics.
These scuffles followed when police and troops blocked their way just within sight of the Parliament.
There were no reports of injuries or arrests.
In another anti-military protest police and troops stopped about 60 young professional workers from marching from the centre of Jakarta to the nearby military headquarters.
Many of the group had painted their faces or wore Halloween skull masks to symbolise human rights abuses by troops.
This all came on the same day as the military celebrated its 53rd anniversary.
Here President B. J. Habibie reviews troops at a base in the capital.
This year's army day celebrations were fairly modest.
That's largely a reflection of the Asian economic crisis that hit Indonesia particularly harshly, helping bring down former autocratic President Suharto.
Under Suharto the military was accused of widespread human rights abuses.
But since Suharto stepped down amid riots and protests in May, senior commanders have promised to improve the professionalism of soldiers.
They have said, however, that the dual function policy -- under which the military has 75 seats allocated to it in the 500-member national Parliament -- will be maintained.

STORYLINE
A powerful earthquake struck Indonesia on Wednesday killing at least 11 people, injuring dozens of others and causing extensive damage to houses and buildings.
A spokesperson for the National Disaster Management Agency said those killed were in two towns in West Java province.
Officials and local media reported damage in several towns and cities near the epicentre and dozens of people were being treated in hospitals across the region.
The quake struck at 2:55 pm (0755 GMT) off the southern coast of the main island of Java with a preliminary magnitude of 7.0.
The US Geological Survey says it had a depth of about 30 miles (50 kilometres).
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre initially said it was powerful enough to cause a local tsunami, but less than an hour later it said in a statement that sea level readings indicate a significant tsunami was not generated and retracted the alert.
The Indonesian Meteorological and Geophysics Agency put the quake's strength at 7.3.
In the capital, Jakarta, office workers evacuated swaying buildings and gathered in the streets.
Buildings in Tasikmalaya, one of the towns closest to the epicentre, were damaged, the Detik.com news portal reported.
The el Shinta radio station said a woman was killed in a rock slide triggered by the tremor in the coastal town of Pelabuhan Ratu, but authorities could not immediately be reached to confirm that report.
In the town of Bandung, about 60 miles (100 kilometres) from the epicentre, students fled outdoors when their classrooms began shaking violently, a witness told The Associated Press.

SUMMARY
=======
The National Archives of Indonesia (Indonesian: Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia, ANRI) is the non-departmental government institution of Indonesia responsible for maintaining a central archive. It holds the largest archive collection related to the Dutch East India Company (VOC). In 2003, Indonesia introduced a joint submission to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register with the Netherlands, South Africa, and Sri Lanka for their archival collections related to the VOC. The National Archives collection traces its origins to the work of Jacob Anne van der Chijs, who was appointed the first archivist of the Dutch East Indies in 1892 by the colonial government.

Indonesia's President Suharto witnessed the initialling of a peace treaty on Friday (30/8) which his country brokered between the Philippines and an Islamic rebel group, ending 26 years of civil war.
The rebel group, the Moro National Liberation Front, (MNLF) has been engaged in virtual civil war in the Philippines; more than 100,000 people have died in the struggle.

INDONESIA: CHINESE OWNED BUSINESSES BLAMED FOR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
Indonesian/Nat
The people of Indonesia are starting to feel the pain of unemployment and rising prices, the result of the economic crisis which has gripped the country.
And with it there are fears of renewed ethnic conflict, as Chinese-owned businesses are blamed for the problems of the common people.
The Chinese make up less than four percent of Indonesia's population but are generally viewed as dominating the local and national economies.
In one West Javan town, violence against such shop owners is still fresh in mind, creating a tense atmosphere for all.
The streets of Rengasdenglok are bustling as usual, rickshaw drivers competing with cars to move people and goods about the town.
But the pinch of the region's economic downturn is felt as the price of many staples rises.
Residents pass by the town's only Buddhist temple every day, most aware of the violent acts that centred there one year ago.
Anti-Chinese riots culminated in the destruction of the temple, with its large Buddha hung by a rope in the middle of the city.
Shops were attacked, as youths went after the relatively wealthy ethnic Chinese merchant class.
It took weeks for tensions to settle down.
Now the temple is being rebuilt, but worries over renewed conflict grow every day as jobs are lost and prices go up.
This 25-year-old stone chiseler knows that the 20-thousand rupiah (two U-S dollars) that he makes every day is buying less and less.
But he says he and his people don't know how to vent their worries or who to blame for their problems.
SOUNDBITE: (Bahasa Indonesia)
We are ordinary people, not the highest people, and we don't know how to revolt.
SUPER CAPTION: Yudi Ismanto, Stone Chiseller
The Chinese merchants have spent the last year trying to improve relations with the majority Muslim population here.
Money has been funnelled into the building of new mosques.
Jobs have been offered to youths to keep them busy and happy.
But small riots throughout the island of Java have concentrated on the Chinese community and there is fear here.
Khomala Sari's brother was injured during last year's riots.
While her wealth is a bit conspicuous - with photos of her Hong Kong and Singapore vacations adorning her counter - she is hoping for understanding from the people at large.
But she knows that as she pays more for goods, her customers will too - and not happily.
SOUNDBITE: (Bahasa Indonesia)
Maybe because the prices go up, and maybe the people do not understand why the price goes up. It makes those people become emotional.
SUPER CAPTION: Khomala Sari, Chinese Shopkeeper
The tougher the economic circumstance, the more likely a person is to blame the rich merchants.
That at least seems to be the message in the rice paddies of this community.
Workers who earn five-thousand rupiah (50 dollar cents) per day can't afford to pay more for cooking oil, clothes or food.
And the worst price hikes are expected to come in the next few months.
Katma and his family live in a wood hut with a dirt floor.
He says he is trying to avoid anger but is not sure where to turn.
SOUNDBITE: (Bahasa Indonesia)
The government has to take responsibility for this situation. The government has to take responsibility.
SUPER CAPTION: Katma, Peasant
The paternal nature of President Suharto's 30-year rule gives some people hope.
But in sticking to its bailout agreement with the International Monetary Fund, the government is not likely to offer the masses much help.
And only time will tell how people will react as their long awaited prosperity slips away.

Indonesia - Riots update
T/I: 10:52:38
Up to 15,000 soldiers have been deployed to restore order in the Indonesian capital Jakarta after days of riots in which at least 18 civilians and three soldiers died. Some armoured vehicles were positioned near a university where an anti-government protest was held, but made no immediate move to intervene in the demonstration. However, officers were nowhere to be found in many areas, allowing mobs to run wild, adding to the chaos.
