See original 21 Feb 2025 08:00 WIB · English Waste has become a major problem in the city of Banjarmasin due to the sealing of the Basirih Final Waste Processing Site by the Ministry of Environment the community and the city government must be able to reduce waste at its source while preparing environmentally friendly waste processing infrastructure Several garbage trucks lined up to enter Walikota Ibnu Sina Street in South Banjarmasin District Waste collection activities seemed to disregard lunch break hours "The trucks that arrived this afternoon just returned from Banjarbaru this is already the second trip," said Romi the waste transportation supervisor of the Environmental Agency of Banjarmasin City The trucks came to transport the garbage piled up on Jalan Walikota Ibnu Sina The new road section in Banjarmasin suddenly became a final disposal site (TPA) due to the sealing of the Basirih Final Waste Processing Site (TPAS) by the Ministry of Environment/Environmental Control Agency Not only is Jalan Walikota Ibnu Sina filled with garbage Piles of garbage on Jalan Lingkar Dalam Selatan overflowed until they covered part of the road The piles of garbage not only disrupt traffic and are unsightly waste from temporary storage sites (TPS) in Banjarmasin City is dumped here The waste that piles up here is then transported by truck to be dumped at the Banjarbakula Regional Waste Landfill in Banjarbaru City," said Romi the activity of transporting garbage from Banjarmasin to Banjarbaru takes place from morning to night There are dozens of trucks operating every day One truck can do three trips in a day," he said said that the piles of garbage on Jalan Lingkar Dalam Selatan have almost never decreased since the Basirih TPAS was closed there are always people dumping garbage here Every day there is more and more garbage here," he said Piles of garbage in the middle of the city are now a common sight in Banjarmasin Many residents complain about the condition but residents are also confused about where to throw their garbage but don't know where to throw it?" said Jamil (45) Waste has become a major problem in Banjarmasin City after the Ministry of Environment (KLH) imposed administrative sanctions on the Regional Technical Implementation Unit of the Basirih Final Waste Processing Site (TPAS) for not managing waste according to regulations namely still using the open dumping method KLH Environmental Supervisory Officers have sealed the Basirih TPAS since February 1 What is happening in Banjarmasin today is an accumulation of previous problems This shows that we have not been able to reduce waste from its source Minister of Environment Hanif Faisol Nurofiq stated that his party will take action against 306 landfills in Indonesia that still implement the open dumping system in waste management "The government has banned the open dumping system as regulated in Law Number 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management," he said Mayor of Banjarmasin for the 2016-2025 period said that there was a major turbulence at the end of his leadership namely the closing of TPAS Basirih by the Ministry of Environment This has also become a major problem for the City of Banjarmasin because everyone has difficulty disposing of waste Do not let the city government face this problem alone we need support from all parties," he said Ibnu Sina had set a waste emergency response status in Banjarmasin The status is effective from February 1 to July 31 Along with the determination of the waste emergency response status Ibnu Sina also issued a circular on the waste-conscious lifestyle movement to increase public awareness and concern in managing waste "I ask that every sub-district must have a waste sorting place If there is land owned by the city government we use the land for waste sorting so that it can reduce waste generation in Banjarmasin," he said the Banjarmasin City Government can only dispose of some of the waste to the Banjarbakula Regional Waste TPA because the quota for Banjarmasin at the TPA is only 105 tons per day the volume of waste in Banjarmasin reaches 600 tons per day with the processing at TPS 3R (reduce-reuse-recycle waste processing site) there are still around 400 tons of waste per day that have not been handled And it continues to accumulate so that serious handling is needed," said Ibnu Sina This waste problem has of course immediately become homework for Muhammad Yamin and Ananda the mayor and deputy mayor of Banjarmasin for the 2025-2030 period who were inaugurated by President Prabowo Subianto in Jakarta if Yamin-Ananda want to focus on the waste problem the problem now is that waste infrastructure can no longer be built on wetlands like the land in Banjarmasin "Don't let the city government face this problem alone because this is our common concern It's not the time to look for who's at fault let's find a solution together," said Ibnu Sina Yamin-Ananda on his social media on February 9 2025 uploaded a photo of Yamin reviewing a pile of garbage on Jalan Walikota Ibnu Sina "This terrible sight must disappear immediately he will immediately take concrete steps to resolve this problem Chairman of the Eco Enzyme Nusantara Community of South Kalimantan Akbar Rahman said that his party has often reminded the community and the city government to care about waste efforts to do so have not been seen in the last decade "What is happening in Banjarmasin now is an accumulation of previous problems This shows that we have not been able to reduce waste from the source," he said his community has been quite active in campaigning and educating to raise public awareness this must be done continuously to change public behavior "The big job is how to change people's behavior and increase their awareness to manage waste from their respective sources of course it can reduce waste generation and accumulation," he said the Banjarmasin City Government must still consider handling waste downstream because the Banjarbakula Regional Waste Landfill is only able to accommodate a small portion of waste from Banjarmasin "Banjarmasin City Government can look for a more ideal place outside Banjarmasin for TPA This needs to be considered so that Banjarmasin has its own TPA," he said The Banjarmasin City Government can also build waste processing infrastructure through a technological approach for example converting waste into new and renewable energy sources that do not have a negative impact on the environment "This needs to be developed in the future so that waste is no longer a serious problem in Banjarmasin," said Akbar Jakarta. Pharmaceutical and lab network company Intibios has opened a new branch in Banjarmasin The new branch

documents are organized according to their respective topics "The data collected is already quite extensive Not less than 30 bundles," said the bespectacled man when met in Banjarmasin was met at his private library in Banjarmasin Sugi has been collecting Chinese history data in Banjar Land since the 2000s This is based on a great curiosity and interest in the existence of his family in Banjarmasin especially the footsteps of his grandfather who became a victim of Japanese army's murder during World War II “In the family there is a historical memory that is always questioned My grandfather was killed by Japanese soldiers "During the ceng beng tradition or grave prayer we can only go to grandmother's grave," he said Sugi began searching for information about his grandfather he came across a researcher from the International Red Cross who was conducting research in Banjarmasin The researcher had a list of names of war victims from 1943 in Banjarmasin Sugi followed the researcher to various locations Also read: Service to Ancestors in Singkawang he found information about his grandfather Those who were victims of World War II at the time were buried in a Dutch

footsteps of Chinese people in Banjarmasin He also met with Chinese families to obtain information and photos related to their family history Only a few of them still hold their ancestors' legacy "It's indeed quite difficult to find data related to this Chinese family because many of them are traumatized burning books and photos to avoid being linked to various things especially with the 1965 incident (Indonesian Communist Party)," he said One of the historical archives of the Banjar Chinese community collected by Sugiharto Hendrata Kuswono a Banjar Chinese history enthusiast in his private library in Banjarmasin what he is seeking and collecting are primary data and information or stories from Chinese families His hope is that the various data and information can be written again or published into a book so that the wider community can also learn about the historical background of the Chinese in Banjarmasin "Literature about Banjar Chinese is very minimal I have thought of making a book about it," said the graduate of the Faculty of Economics and Business at Lambung Mangkurat University Sugi felt that his writing ability and funding for book publishing were still limited in creating the book there was a positive response from the Indonesian Chinese Social Association (PSMTI) of South Kalimantan who welcomed and strongly supported the creation of a book about the history of Chinese in South Kalimantan PSMTI Kalsel then collaborated with the Institute for Islamic and Community Studies (LK3) Banjarmasin to design the production of the book "I was contacted and joined the writing team I also supported the data when other writers had difficulty accessing the necessary data to make it more complete," she said Its Role and Contribution in the Course of History" was finally launched and discussed in Banjarmasin on July 30 Sugi stated that the process of creating the book took almost two years consists of eight major themes with 56 subtitles The writers come from various professional backgrounds The book "Tionghoa Banjar" attempts to record the entire role and contribution of the Chinese community in South Kalimantan Starting from the history of their arrival in the land of Banjar the assimilation between Chinese and Banjar cultures to the traces left by the Chinese community from the past until now This book is also a part of the documentary film production that narrates the existence of the Chinese community in Banjar Land The title of the documentary is "In the Same Stream" the review in the book is more comprehensive and in-depth "I am delighted to finally be able to contribute to the publication of a book about the Chinese Banjar I am not an archivist or a conventionally educated librarian I just happen to enjoy collecting data and creating archives," he said After the release of the book "Tionghoa Banjar" Sugi admitted that he still has plenty of data for writing other books One of them is a biography of a Chinese-Banjar figure who contributed to the national movement and played an important role in the nation's life Please note that there are no forbidden words in this article books about the Banjar Chinese are still very scarce Reviews about the Banjar Chinese in some history reference books are also minimal the impression is sometimes a bit biased because the version is written by people in the New Order era the history and existence of the Banjar Chinese should be written in a balanced way "I do not intend to straighten out history because that is not my expertise I hope that the data I have collected can provide information and be considered for its truthfulness This data may be useful for improvement or balance in the writing of Chinese history," he said Also read: The Dilemma of
