karung plastik Mereka  mengolah sagu tersebut tidak jauh dari kampung Bicoli Hasil ini diperoleh  setelah  6 hari mengolah empulur empat  pohon sagu “Pohon sagunya kurang berisi karena masih kecil sehingga hasilnya tidak seberapa Empat  pohon  sagu ini kalau pohon  besar dan berisi bisa sampai 13 karung,” katanya ditemui akhir Oktober lalu Pohon sagu yang diolah itu milik orang tua Fatimun yang  menjadi warisan keluarga mereka terdapat kelapa dalam lahan seluas tiga hektar itu Karena lahan sagu tersebut warisan orang tua maka sagu yang diolah itu tidak perlu dibagi lagi Fatimun mengatakan tepung sagu itu akan diolah menjadi persediaan pangan untuk beberapa bulan ke depan dan sebagian untuk dikirimkan kepada dua anaknya yang bekerja di salah satu perusahaan tambang nikel di  Weda Halmahera Tengah Dia mengatakan sagu menjadi sumber makanan penting saat harga besar sangat mahal tetapi mereka lebih memilih mengolah sagu sendiri untuk bahan makanan “Sagu ini sudah bisa jadi modal saat kita kerja di kebun menanam pala cengkih dan kelapa Kalau kita sudah tua tanaman tahunan itu menjadi tabungan Hasilnya bisa memenuhi kebutuhan hidup sehari-hari,” kata Halik Meski sagu jadi makanan pokok sejak dahulu Sebagian besar warga Bicoli sudah beralih makan nasi meski masih menyajikan sagu saat makan siang maupun makan malam dulu nasi dikonsumsi nanti  pada hari Jumat saja Di kampung ini warga tetap memiliki stok sagu jelang Ramadhan Sagu  sangat berpotensi menjadi sebagai sumber pangan tradisonal yang dapat diolah menjadi berbagai macam aneka makanan Baca : Bertahan Olah Sagu Sagea di Tengah Himpitan Tambang Nikel Penelitian yang dilakukan Yusril Mesir dari Universitas Khairun Ternate tahun 2022 di Desa Waci wilayah ini memiliki potensi besar sagu sebagai sumber pangan pengganti  beras Dalam  riset itu ditemukan  beberapa  jenis sagu yang  berpotensi  jadi  sumber pangan yaitu sagu tuni atau masyarakat Desa Waci menyebutnya sagu biau (Metroxylon rumphii) Ada juga ihur/diglou (Metroxylon longispinum) Dari jenis sagu ini masyarakat setempat  manfaatkan pati sagu sebagai bahan pangan pokok Bagian dari pohon sagu yang biasanya dimanfaatkan adalah pati batang dari pohon sagu untuk  berbagai macam kerajinan Daun pohon sagu yang dijahit  menjadi atap pelepah yang diolah menjadi tikar dan tas tradisional dan batang pohon sagu diolah menjadi  kayu bakar maupun bahan  untuk rumah Sagu lempeng dibuat menggunakan tepung sagu yang di sudah dihaluskan atau diayak lalu dibakar menggunakan alat cetakan atau forno Papua dan daerah timur Indonesia yang bertekstur kental dan berwarna putih  serta memiliki rasa yang tawar Makanan ini biasanya dikonsumsi dengan kuah yang dimasak dengan ikan Sagu sendiri telah lama dikenal penduduk Maluku Utara terutama di pedesaan Pengolahan sagu secara tradisional sudah dipraktekkan penduduk di Kabupaten Halmahera Timur secara turun-temurun Salah satunya di Desa Bicoli dan Waci yang memiliki potensi sagu pengganti

sendiri setidaknya memiliki sekitar 24 izin perusahaan tambang Perusahaan ini memang belum beroperasi masuk sampai ke Maba Selatan Meski demikian wilayah Bicoli dan sekitarnya jika tidak cepat dilindungi maka tinggal menunggu  waktu saja Pengakuan warga setempat sudah ada beberapa perusahaan  mencoba masuk ke wilayah ini termasuk membujuk masyarakat melepas lahan ada beberapa perusahaan masuk ke Bicoli baik perusahaan sawit maupun tambang batu gamping Mereka bahkan sudah berusaha  membayar lahan lahan  yang akan dibebaskan Karena itu sangat dikuatirkan jika kembali lagi tambang atau sawit maka sagu akan habis terbabat Jainal cerita beberapa waktu lalu ada perusahaan yang berencana mengelola gamping ada juga rencana perkebunan sawit  masuk kawasan ini Bahkan sudah ada lahan warga yang mau dibayar untuk dibebaskan  Meski dia tidak tahu nama perusahaannya namun  sekira  tahun lalu itu warga sudah mulai bersiap melepas lahan mereka “Beberapa tahun lalu lahan lahan milik masyarakat sudah mau dibebaskan Tetapi setelah  berselang beberapa lama perusahaan  itu pergi dan belum kembali lagi  hingga sekarang,” jelasnya khawatir kebun sagu sebagai sumber pangan mereka bakal hilang “Sebagai warga torang (kami,red) juga kuatir kalau ada izin tambang beroperasi maka sagu yang ada juga akan hilang,” katanya Kehadiran perusahaan tambang raksasa  di sana ikut menghancurkan ruang hidup dan menghilangkan sumber pangan warga Sufandy aktivis LSM Falalamo salah satu lembaga yang melakukan pendampingan masyarakat lima desa di Kecamatan Maba Selatan pada dua tahun terakhir ini

Ir Hamli ME when presenting his material on national insight to new students at Graha Ten November ITS ITS Campus, ITS News – To further foster a sense of nationalism for new students (maba) in the Heroes Campus, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) invited the former Director of Prevention, Deputy for Prevention, Protection, and Deradicalization of the National Terrorist Countermeasures Agency (BNPT) RI Inspector General Pol (Ret.) Ir Hamli ME He was here to equip ITS first-year students about national insight on the third day of Spiritual and Nationality Training (PSB) who currently serves as Deputy Chairman of the Agency for Countering Extremism and Terrorism (BPET) of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) revealed that terrorism has existed in Indonesia since the Old Order to the New Order the Indonesian Islamic State (NII) group later transformed into a jihadist group during the New Order the arrest of terrorists during the New Order era differed from the current period where it was necessary to implement intelligence operations in the past Hamli quoted the results of research from the 2019 Indonesia Millenial Report 19.5 percent of millennials stated that Indonesia was more ideal to be a caliphate country ITS new students are listening to the explanation of Inspector General Pol (Ret.) Ir Hamli ME telling his experience while on duty This is indeed disturbing and has the potential to lead to radicalism it is necessary to take steps to understand the introduction of this potential “Because terrorist groups usually think nationalism is haram and contrary to religion,” he added Hamli said this potential could be seen from the spread of radicalism narratives surrounding the community the description can lead to acts of terrorism It can be in the form of records about intolerance related to religious sentiments Hamli continued that a person exposed to radicalism can be seen from the three domains of changing their behavior Namely by paying attention to their social relations The changes can be divided into three degrees of hazard intensity to indicate a person’s exposure the behavior has started to show signs of extremism but it is still in its early stages and on a small scale Early treatment must be done so that it does not develop and become more complex the behavior of a person or group has begun to show activeness in voicing and disseminating the understanding and activities of violent extremism Handling at this level is essential so that it does not develop and escalate to become even more dangerous a person’s behavior has shown signs of using violence people with this degree will openly demand to replace the democratic system,” said the ITS Chemical Engineering alumnus Hamli explained to fight terrorism required character qualities The quality of character is by studying religious values ​​and nationalism through good spiritual learning but not leaving the insight of nationalism and nationalism they can become moderate figures who have a nationalist sense by encouraging the values ​​of cooperation can be done by knowing the large groups of existing sects Hamli advised that someone should follow what is good and safe and not follow the flow of new groups Then the last part is a critical thinking competence that will make people not easily accept everything for granted “This is important so that terrorist groups cannot contaminate us,” he reminded him Inspector General of Police (Ret.) Ir Hamli ME (left) receives a souvenir from the Chief Executive of PSB 2022 Ir Arief Abdurrakhman ST MT after the presentation of the material This explanation from Hamli attracted the enthusiasm of 1,300 new ITS students who were present on the third day of this Spiritual and National Training (PSB) Hamli appreciated ITS’s initiative in holding this PSB for new students This can prevent dangerous contestations from entering the campus environment we are always healthy and in the pleasure of Allah SWT,” he concluded ITS News — Indonesia as a tropical country tends to have many coastal areas ITS News — Data is an asset and the main foundation in determining strategies for the future ITS News — Continuing to show local wisdom to the world community ITS News — The Domestic Component Level (TKDN) is the key to restoring the glory of the Indonesian Many modern government buildings with contemporary designs have come under criticism for being dull and drab The change in administrations in Washington in January may signal a return to President-elect Donald Trump’s previous aesthetic crusade making civic architecture beautiful again Critics will reply as they did before: Who’s to say it’s not beautiful now The defenders of modernism would note that Wren was speaking of England, not America. This is a nation founded on shaking off the shackles of the Old World, and we’re not building palaces for nobility. Classical had a nice run, the modernists decided. Architecture should reflect the possibilities and innovations of the 21st century. Good points. But too many architects in the 1970s built dull dun-hued bunkers, and too many modern architects seem interested in self-amusement and cheeky transgressions, resulting in buildings that do not aim for eternity, unless you’re spending it in hell. The Twin Cities has some examples, but nothing as bad as the bunkers of the nation’s capital. “They are generally the most important of local buildings, seen daily by thousands, who have little opportunity to feel the influence of the great architectural works in the large cities,” reported The Architect in 1918. A sample of the glorious Grand Central Station, right on your Main Street. The Beaux Arts classical style — think the State Capitol, the St. Paul Cathedral — was the civic vernacular for other buildings as well, from train stations to banks to concert halls. This style was dated by the time the Great Depression got its claws into the culture. It looked old and fussy, a poor fit for the lean new world of machines and men who planned society from atop. The post offices of the 1930s — many designed by private architects until the Department of the Treasury took over the job in 1937 — had two styles. The Colonial style looked back — with stately New England features including white pillars and a pediment. The other was a stripped-down style that has been called “Starved Classical.” It had columns and carvings, but they were streamlined and abstracted. They were very much like the fascist architecture of Europe, perhaps, but lacking the cold, dominating, overbearing character. Minneapolis’ central post office (1933, 100 S. 1st St.), which was completed in 1933 and is now known as the Martin Olaf Sabo Post Office, is a grand and glorious example of the style. It’s monumental and expresses the abilities of the state, but it’s we-the-people, not hail-the-leader. It’s intended to impress, but not intimidate. Monumental but not lavish, as fits the lean times. A sensible use of civic money that still has space for patriotic stone eagles. Perhaps that’s the compromise style to make everyone happy. After all, modern buildings erected in the old classical style never quite get it right. They try too hard — hey, folks, look, columns! With old-style capitols! A big portico! Cupolas! They look like famous-historical-battle re-enactors. If we have fewer contorted, asymmetrical buildings with unusual shapes. and more buildings with a sense of balance and a connection to previous cultural norms, you’ll have less outrage. You’ll have less surprise, as well, and less startling innovation. A modest design that references the traditions of our civic buildings ages better than something intent on smashing our expectations and yelling about how special it is. Modernism has been the preferred language for civic architecture for so many decades that it’s become the tradition, and supplanting it with more classical forms is revolutionary. Transgressive, you might say.

Nicholson I hope to help shape the future of the collision repair industry through education Read Now Regional and national collision repair news your shop needs Malaysia’s present governance challenges demand far more than charisma and political ambition. Today, the nation faces increasingly complex problems, such as environmental sustainability, income inequality and global economic volatility. Clearly, the present leadership development pathways are no longer fit for purpose. Political leaders often ascend through informal, party-driven mechanisms that lack rigour. These fail to systematically prepare individuals for the multifaceted responsibilities of governance. This is where a national leadership academy (or akademi kepimpinan kebangsaan) could come into play. Such an initiative could be designed to systematically identify and train Malaysia’s most promising individuals. It could create a structured and meritocratic pathway to produce leaders to manage the country’s administration and hold high office. Malaysia’s leadership development faces three core challenges. The pathways to leadership are fragmented and informal. Political leaders often emerge through party hierarchies, grassroots activism and corporate crossovers. While these pathways provide opportunities for some, they ultimately lack standardisation and fail to cultivate the technical expertise required for modern governance. Many leaders lack a connection with ordinary people. They rise to positions of power without meaningful engagement with the complexities of public policy. They are not systematically prepared for governance. Governance requires a deep understanding of policy design, fiscal management and international diplomacy. Without structured training mechanisms, leaders often rely on a trial-and-error approach. Such an approach could result in costly inefficiencies, delayed policy implementation and missed opportunities to effectively address pressing national challenges. A national leadership academy could be designed to specifically address this. The academy would function through a rigorous and meritocratic framework. Recruitment would ensure diversity while prioritising the most capable candidates. The recruitment process would begin with a nationwide campaign targeting top university graduates, young professionals and community leaders. It could partner with academic institutions, professional bodies and NGOs to ensure a wide reach, including rural communities. Candidates would submit detailed portfolios that include academic records and leadership experience. Psychometric testing would assess resilience, ethical reasoning and problem-solving abilities in governance-related scenarios, such as balancing competing fiscal priorities. The academy would recruit 20 candidates annually. Shortlisted candidates would then face panel interviews conducted by senior policymakers, academics and community leaders. These interviews would evaluate their critical thinking and public service commitment. The academy’s 18-month curriculum would be structured to address the demands of modern governance, balancing theoretical expertise with hands-on experience. The theoretical core would include modules on public policy design, constitutional law and fiscal management. Participants would learn policy modelling, cost-benefit analysis and impact evaluations through case studies of Malaysia’s history, such as the New Economic Policy and the “shared prosperity vision”. Practical exposure would form a crucial part of the curriculum. Participants would undertake 12-week internships in key ministries. The success of the Perdana fellows programme could be used as a foundation for a national leadership academy. It shows the value of pairing young talents with senior ministers for mentoring and hands-on exposure to governance. Many alumni have since emerged as influential leaders in both the public and private sectors. A national leadership academy would build on this model, but on a much larger scale. It would institutionalise leadership development with a comprehensive curriculum, rigorous training and a clear pathway to governance. This would ensure a steady pipeline of governance-ready leaders for Malaysia’s future. The academy would require a dedicated governance structure overseen by a council comprising representatives from the prime minister’s office, the Public Service Department and academia. Funding would be allocated through the federal budget, with additional support from private sector partnerships and international grants. Key performance indicators (KPIs) would measure the academy’s success, including the number of graduates placed in leadership roles, the diversity of participants, and the quality of policies influenced by alumni. Regular audits and evaluations would ensure transparency and accountability. The national leadership academy would be more than a training programme. It would be a systematic solution to Malaysia’s leadership challenges. It would create a new generation of leaders who are technically skilled, ethically grounded, and deeply connected to the people. This is a transformative vision for Malaysia’s governance. Imagine a nation led by individuals prepared to tackle its most pressing challenges with expertise, empathy and integrity. The time to act is now. Let’s build this national leadership academy and secure Malaysia’s leadership for generations to come. Pravin Periasamy is a regular contributor to Aliran.
