where I visited twice in 2022 first in March then in November - encapsulate this production of space where physical landscapes morph to fit the aspirations of those in power Once a small border town with the pace of a village Atambua is turning into a cross-border economic zone symbolising the promise of the ‘better life’ that development supposedly brings these changes are a double-edged sword: they’re now part of Indonesia’s push toward regional connectivity an aspiration that resonates nationally but feels a little more complex on the ground The farmland here now serves a different function—its purpose transformed by a vision of economic progress that doesn’t necessarily serve the lives it impacts most directly As I travelled these routes and spoke to people the question of choice—who gets to choose this future—seemed to hang in the air the choices offered by capitalism are often no more than simulacra illusions crafted to create a sense of autonomy where choices are shaped by distant markets and urban planners in Jakarta Kupang’s residents may have the ‘choice’ to join the rush toward modernisation but it’s not clear that this choice will necessarily make their lives better once a choice rooted in culture and climate The market vendors who once closed shop and napped in the heat are now being nudged by the changing economy to stay open all day stretching their working hours to compete with larger stores and imported goods even if that hustle erodes the very rhythm that once made life here unique The balance is delicate: people are told to cherish tradition while the forces of change alter the context of that tradition Kupang is now seen as a stepping-stone—a place to make money and eventually leave for the big cities The younger generation yearns for the bustle of Jakarta They pursue the urban ideal that places wealth and material success above community and contentment Lefebvre’s notion of ‘produced space’ finds new meaning: the spaces once marked by leisurely rhythms and community are being repurposed for economic transactions and aspirations not born here illustrate the tension between preservation and progress They stand as testaments to the resilience of communities in the face of the rapid but the enduring challenge for Kupang is whether it can retain its spirit amid the shifting landscape expanding infrastructure and the hum of development contented life is worth the potential of economic opportunities or remaining in tune with community values the allure of capital is too strong to ignore and the shifting landscape signal something else—an uncertain future where the contours of contentment are redrawn with each new mile of asphalt At this crossroad of cultures and economies Kupang and Atambua become a microcosm of a larger struggle: the struggle to reconcile the intangible richness of local heritage with the relentless march of progress the question isn’t just about choosing between tradition and progress but finding a way to hold on to the essence of both the challenge is to preserve a space for siesta and for a kind of wealth that isn’t measured in rupiah It’s a reminder that not all choices lead to happiness and that the true wealth lies in the pauses—the chance to stop Abellia Anggi Wardani (abellia@ui.ac.id) is a lecturer in the Faculty of Humanities Universitas Indonesia and a former Research Director at Knowledge Hub Myanmar – Center for Social Integrity She has a PhD in Culture Studies from Tilburg University Receive Inside Indonesia's latest articles and quarterly editions in your inbox © Copyright Indonesian Resources and Information Program (IRIP) 1983 -

See original NTT Governor: Bishop Turang is the Driver of Community Economy 04 Apr 2025 18:48 WIB · English KUPANG, KOMPAS - Emeritus Bishop Mgr Petrus Turang passed away on Friday morning (4/4/2025). The people of East Nusa Tenggara have lost a figure who contributed significantly to the development of the region. The Governor of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Emanuel Melkiades Laka Lena, reminisced about Turang as one of the drivers of the community's economy. During his tenure as a Catholic leader in the Archdiocese of Kupang from 1997 to 2024, Turang encouraged the community to engage in farming and livestock raising. "And this was not only for the Catholic congregation he led but for all communities," said Melkiades. Thanks to that encouragement, the community lives independently through farming and livestock activities. This is particularly true in the working area of the Archdiocese of Kupang, which includes Kupang City, Kupang Regency, South Central Timor, Alor, Rote Ndao, and Sabu Raijua. Melkiades also hopes that the values inherited by Turang as an economic driver should be emulated by the people of NTT, especially those who serve as leaders at various levels. NTT requires many drivers to advance the region. Even while battling illness, Turang, when asked about his health condition, instead invited discussions on other matters. To Melkiades, Turang offered advice on various development issues in NTT. Turang loved NTT until the end of his life. Melkiades also recalled Turang's communication style, which was considered straightforward, outspoken, and firm. This is what made him accepted by all circles. "He left many valuable lessons for us," he said. Alami Komplikasi, Uskup Emeritus Petrus Turang Berpulang  Uskup Turang dikenal tegas dan teguh dalam prinsip. Pasa masanya, ia menjadi salah satu tokoh berpengaruh di NTT.  Experience ComplicationsThe Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Kupang, Rev. Krispinus Saku, stated that Turang passed away at the age of 78. Over the past few months, he had been battling his illness, ranging from heart disease to kidney failure. "He suffered from several types of illnesses. His condition was a complication," said Krispinus. Krispinus invited all the faithful to pray for the soul of Turang, who once served as a leader of the Catholic community in the Archdiocese of Kupang. After 27 years as the Archbishop of Kupang, he retired and held the status of Archbishop Emeritus. Krispinus also confirmed that Turang will be buried in Kupang, where he last served. According to the plan, Turang's body will be departed from Jakarta early Saturday morning and laid out at the Kupang Cathedral. Before going to Kupang, Turang's body was laid out in the Jakarta Cathedral. Many mourners came. President Prabowo Subianto came and paid his respects to Turang inside the Jakarta Cathedral. Emeritus Bishop Turang was born in Tataaran, Manado, North Sulawesi, on February 23, 1947. He was appointed as Archbishop of Kupang by Pope John Paul II and consecrated on July 27, 1997. After his retirement, he was succeeded by Bishop Hironimus Pekaenoni, who was consecrated on May 9, 2024. Among the community of the Archdiocese of Kupang, the information quickly spread. Condolences poured in from various groups who claimed to be close to or acquainted with Turang. Many humanitarian works were accomplished during his leadership of the Archdiocese of Kupang. Yuven Tukung, Chairman of the Catholic Youth Regional Commission of NTT, stated that in his time, Turang was one of the influential figures in NTT. In governmental political decision-making, Turang's voice was heard. Likewise for the development of youth organizations, Turang gave serious attention. Not only organizations under the Catholic church, Turang was considered close and accepted by various groups. He was known to be firm and steadfast in principle. "Farewell Your Majesty and thank you for the love you have shared. Our only prayer is to be happy with the Saints in Heaven," said Yuven. Goris Takene, a resident of Kupang City, said that Bishop Turang played an active role in creating harmony in Kupang City. When various issues that had the potential to divide unity were raised, he was there to calm things down. "In 1999, many areas in Indonesia were hit by horizontal conflict. Kupang City was in turmoil but was quickly controlled. At that time, Bishop Turang's voice was very much heard," said Goris. 25 Tahun Monsinyur Petrus Turang Memimpin Keuskupan Agung Kupang 25 Tahun Mgr Petrus Turang Pr memimpin Keuskupan Agung Kupang.

See original the Crimes of Police Officers in NTT Were Exposed 10 Mar 2025 17:19 WIB · English A video of sexual harassment circulated on an Australian pornographic website in mid-2024. The content involved minors, including a three-year-old toddler. Australian authorities investigated the origin of the content and identified the location where the pornographic material was uploaded. The pinpointed location was in the city of Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. They then contacted the relevant officials in Indonesia to forward the report to the National Police Headquarters. The investigation began and pointed to Adjunct Senior Commissioner Fajar Widyadharma Lukman, the Chief of Ngada Police, East Nusa Tenggara. After confirming the evidence was sufficient, the Professional and Security Division team of the National Police Headquarters moved to Bajawa, Ngada Regency, where Lukman was stationed. On February 20, 2025, Lukman was arrested and immediately taken to the National Police Headquarters in Jakarta. He underwent questioning there. The police then handed over the victims to be given special assistance by the relevant department in Kupang City. "We have been providing assistance for 20 days," said Acting Head of the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Agency of Kupang City, Imelda Manafe, on Monday (10/3/2025). The Head of Public Relations Division of the NTT Regional Police, Commissioner Henry Novika Chandra, stated that the case is being handled by the National Police Headquarters. The alleged perpetrator is undergoing examination. On Monday (10/3) afternoon, investigators from the National Police Headquarters also questioned several related witnesses at the NTT Regional Police headquarters. According to him, the examination was conducted to gather information from the victims and other witnesses before the ethics code hearing was held. A total of three individuals were questioned. Details regarding the examination materials fall under the authority of the National Police Headquarters to explain to the public. Henry also revealed that it was not just molestation. Lukman was also involved in a drug case. Based on the results of a urine test, Lukman tested positive for using drugs. The drug case was processed separately. This means that there was more than one case involving Lukman, and all of them were handled by the National Police Headquarters. Henry explained that Lukman's case was not handled by NTT Regional Police investigators because Lukman was a Mediating Officer who filled a strategic position within the National Police. The authority to investigate was taken over by the National Police Propam Division. Kapolres Ngada Ditangkap, Beredar Info Terkait Narkoba dan Pornografi  Kepala Polres Ngada disebut kini sedang diperiksa di Divisi Profesi dan Pengamanan Mabes Polri. Polda Nusa Tenggara Timur belum mengungkap detail kasus ini. The sexual crime and drug use cases that ensnared Fajar are sad and shocking. "I was very shocked when I found out about Lukman's involvement. I was his lecturer when he was in college and as far as I remember he was not the strange type," said Professor of the Police Science College Albertus Wahyurudhanto who was contacted from Surabaya, Monday (10/3). According to Wahyu, the case involving Lukman is an indication of deviant behavior in Polri members. "Cases of deviant behavior like this exist and should be detected through routine psychological tests. This is a problem in the development of Polri personnel," he said. This case, Wahyu continued, could strengthen the public's view of the "iceberg" phenomenon within the National Police. The investigation of Lukman's case is expected to be clear and complete while encouraging improvements in personnel development. The use of narcotics is more closely related to environmental influences, perhaps one of which is an escape from work pressure. Cases of sexual crimes by law enforcement, Wahyu continued, are manifestations of deviant behavior and can be strengthened if the living environment is accommodating. Deviant behavior can be detected with close supervision by superiors and routine psychological tests. Likewise, drug abuse by Lukman. "Drug use is closer to environmental influences, perhaps one of them is an escape from work pressure," he said. Wahyu reminded that the profession of Polri members is like being a half-angel human. With a code of ethics, members are asked to do good and be an example for the community to continue to do good. Cases of deviant behavior should not be underestimated because they have implications for the Polri institution. "It must be handled well, followed by improvements in personnel development," said Wahyu. The case of sexual violence against a minor whose video was uploaded to a foreign porn site is shocking news to the public. How cruel a police chief is to do that with the victim being a toddler.

However, behind that, he harbors gentleness, generosity, and compassion for the people and the community. For 27 years, he traveled around while doing good deeds. On the morning of Tuesday (8/4/2025), thousands of mourners gathered around the coffin where he was laid to rest at the Christ the King Cathedral in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. They prayed for him, bid their farewells, and then buried him within the cathedral complex. He is Monsignor Petrus Turang, the emeritus bishop. Before retiring, he served as the Archbishop of Kupang from 1997 to 2024. He took his last breath at a hospital in Jakarta after battling illness for several months. He suffered from complications, heart disease, and kidney failure. Sobs that were faintly heard at first grew louder as the coffin was carried by the friars toward the burial site. The coffin, draped in the yellow and white flag of the Vatican, parted a sea of people from inside to outside the cathedral grounds. The congregation stood to pay their respects. With their hands, they tried to touch the passing coffin before them. Touches, prayers, and tears served as expressions of farewell to Monsignor Turang. The man born in Tataaran, Minahasa, North Sulawesi, on February 23, 1947, was buried in Timor soil. As the coffin was lowered into the grave, a piece of woven fabric from the Timor tribe was draped over it. Many people made an impression, one of whom was the Governor of East Nusa Tenggara, Emanuel Melkiades Laka Lena, who was entrusted to deliver a speech during the Eucharistic funeral celebration. Melki, as he is commonly called, sat in the front row on the right wing. Melki stepped away from his seat. Upon reaching the coffin, he saluted. After greeting the attendees, Melki fell silent as he was about to express his thoughts about the deceased. He then spoke haltingly while holding back tears when he said that Monsignor Turang gave great attention not only to Catholics but to all groups in NTT. "He gave himself to everyone," said Melki. Melki cried again when expressing his admiration for Monsignor Turang, who is considered one of the religious figures who has contributed to Indonesia. "President Prabowo Subianto came to pay his last respects," said Melki. The President came to the Jakarta Cathedral, where Monsignor Turing's body was laid out before being flown to Kupang. As previously reported, the President knew Monsignor Turang as a good person. The deceased was also considered to always have positive thoughts. In his work, the deceased was also considered to always prioritize the common people. "He is a good person. Always thinks positively and he always works for the common people. That's what I know," the President said before leaving the location. Regarding the President's arrival, Cardinal Suharyo stated that the President and the deceased had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship. He also confirmed the existence of a family relationship between the deceased and the President (Kompas 5/4/2025). He is a good person. Always thinks positively and he always works for the common people. Monsignor Turang has quite extensive relations, not only domestically but also abroad. Relations obtained from his intelligence and flexibility in socializing. These relations often open the way for solutions to various problems experienced by the community. Meanwhile, Archbishop of Kupang Monsignor Hironimus Pekaenoni called Monsignor Turang a strict figure. He educated the priests strictly. Monsignor Hironimus was the first fruit of Monsignor Turang's work. It was Monsignor Turang who ordained deacon Hironimus to the priesthood 27 years ago. According to Monsignor Hironimus, in the foreign political arena, Turang was once involved as a member of the justice and truth commission of Indonesia and Timor Leste. Monsignor Turang was directly appointed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono who led Indonesia at that time. Monsignor Turang has passed away. Many mourned his passing, from the congregation to the governor shedding tears of grief. Rest in peace, Monsignor Turang.

problem in Indonesia to this day Economic disparity and lack of parental education on adequate nutrition caused high stunting rates in children The prevalence rate of stunting in Indonesia hits 24,4% in 2021 Stunting is children's impaired growth and development from prolonged poor nutrition before or after birth these children suffer from malnutrition and have shorter body height than other same-aged children they experience slower cognitive development and lower comprehension capability than their peers Stunting can also be caused by repeated sickness and inadequate psychosocial exposure This issue pushes the commencement of the community service carried out by the Physiology of Animal Development and Biomedical Science Research Group from the Biology Study Program of ITB SLST They worked with Kupang Education and Health Agency to organize a seminar on stunting and nutrition for students and parents the team conducted a cognitive test on children and measured their brainwaves and A Muh Alif Farhan (Student from Biology Undergraduate Program) Children 6-8 years old go through significant cognitive changes in which they start to think logically by processing information from various stimuli Their cognitive functions are further supported by their temporal and frontal lobe growth The team invited 112 elementary school students in Kupang to play geometry puzzles within 2 minutes They also measure the brainwaves of students from the elementary schools they had permission to visit Equipped with a Muse Electroencephalogram (EEG) device students' brain activity is recorded while they solve the puzzle The wave's visualization was observed directly through the Mind Monitor app The results revealed that 80.5% of the students tested in Takari District have stunting Takari's environment makes it difficult to perform intensive agriculture and residents must rely on corn and sorghum as staples its hot climate causes frequent droughts from time to time the number of students in Kupang City suffering from stunting was 44% "The city's environment can be improved to provide better access to food and sanitation It is more optimal for children's growth

"True love is the basis for believing in God, as well as being called to love one another," said Father Dami Lengari in mass at the Church Saint Joseph Workers Penfui Parish The Mass was attended by thousands of Catholic devotees who filled the room and courtyard of the church building The Holy Thursday Mass was intended to commemorate the event of Jesus washing the feet of the twelve apostles as a symbol of selfless service as well as the last supper of Jesus with the apostles The mass was colored by heavy rain that poured over most of Kupang City The first mass was held at 3:00 pm WITA and was attended by around 3,000 Catholic worshipers the worshipers were greeted by heavy rain and strong winds at the church's entrance Also read: Maundy Thursday Message from Larantuka, Unconditional Love During the Holy Thursday Mass in Kupang on Thursday (28/3/2024) Father Dami Lengari OCD was washing the feet of the apostles representing 12 individuals from each community group in the parish Lengari said that Jesus set an example to serve many people who have become leaders always want to be served This mentality has a negative impact on leadership itself Jesus has set an example of behavior of love and willingness to serve in the event of washing the feet of the apostles Jesus took off his white robe and wore a tattered black cloth then he humbly washed the feet of the 12 apostles without discrimination In addition to washing the feet of the apostles Jesus also held the Last Supper with the apostles that night The values ​​from these two important events can be applied by Christian believers in their communal lives Lengari stated that true love is manifested in a gentle and unlimited generosity and kindness people are invited to not calculate profit and loss or consider background when sharing with others many leaders are acting arbitrarily towards the common people because they rarely speak out to defend themselves or retaliate and follow the will of those considered influential in society," said the pastor from the Discalced Carmelite Order of Indonesia (OCD) in Kupang all statues or sculptures inside the church are draped with white cloth as the liturgical color of the Catholic Church a symbol of purity and sincerity in service The majority of the attending congregation also wear white clothes even though it is not required by the church said that the call for love and mutual assistance should continue to be promoted amidst the current difficult situation the prices of various basic needs have skyrocketed "The ones who can survive are the wealthy people while the community who do not have permanent jobs or solely rely on dry land farming are becoming increasingly helpless Possessions cannot be brought to the grave except for charitable deeds and compassion towards the less fortunate The White Thursday event reminds us to emulate Jesus," said Vinsen The papal nuncio presided over Thursday’s ordination ceremony a province where the Catholic and Protestant communities date back to colonial times the local Catholic Church needs a new approach in a ceremony that saw the presence of 41 bishops from Indonesia and Timor-Leste on the Indonesian side of the island of Timor which borders with the much more ethnically homogeneous Timor-Leste (East Timor) Archbishop Hironimus Pakaenoni stressed this fact in an interview with Hidup Magazine before his episcopal ordination “In our territory,” said the new archbishop “as a result of the religious ‘demarcation’ between two powerful colonial powers who competed with each other since 16th century establishing good and fraternal relationship among Catholics and Protestants has been a serious challenge a sense of ‘competition’ remains to this present day.” Archbishop Pakaenoni was involved in many activities "I have been in the Archdiocese of Kupang for almost 25 years which has made it easier for me to identify challenges and opportunities in this huge archdiocese," he explained In addition to Kupang's “plural society,” migration and urbanisation are issues that will demand the prelate’s attention “As the capital of East Nusa Tenggara province the city of Kupang is one of the favourite places for immigrants who come here in search of a better life," he said "The presence of people from different ethnic backgrounds from the island of Timor and the Flores Islands poses an economic challenge: workers from the villages have a low level of education and have more difficulty in competing with urban citizens and are consequently paid less.” The Church can address all these issues through a new approach “I believe that the Church must be much more aware of the urgency of changing traditional pastoral methods moving from a territorial approach to the modern pastoral care of the diaspora.” Archbishop Hironimus Pakaenoni adopted the pastoral motto "Pasce ofos meas," which means “Feed my sheep” Subscribe to Asia News updates or change your preferences
