Lessons and beliefs on inter-religious mixing can get messy for youth in Manado
When I asked Muslim high school students at a madrasah in Manado
about their experience interacting with someone of a different religion
suggesting none would have non-Muslim friends
Aisyah in the front row wearing a white jilbab rebutted her: ‘Yes
Manado is a majority-Protestant city within the world’s largest predominantly Muslim country
It was named the most tolerant city in Indonesia in 2017 by Setara Institute for Democracy and Peace
Its religiously and ethnically diverse residents take pride in the city’s reputation for inter-religious harmony
Manado is not immune to the current national climate in which tensions along religious lines are heightened
how do youth learn about religious difference in schools
How does it play out in practice in their social lives
Although Christian and Muslim youth in Manado generally agree that religious tolerance is important
the question of how to embrace diversity and coexist peacefully remains messy
In response to past communal conflicts and the rising influence of Muslim hardliners in more recent years
educators have worked to introduce conversations about diversity and national unity through various avenues
A renewed emphasis on the national ideology of Pancasila is one strategy
Pancasila’s ability to serve as a contemporary basis for respecting diversity is complicated by its oppressive interpretation during the authoritarian Suharto era (1966-1998)
School textbooks from the latest curriculum reforms in 2013 propose new interpretations of diversity that allow the mention of identities previously considered taboo during the Suharto era
in civic education courses at a public high school in Manado
students read from a government-approved textbook about respecting others as citizens
valuing difference and avoiding discrimination based on ethnicity
The 2013 national curriculum overhaul did not integrate an explicitly multicultural education program
but instead focused on introducing character education in all subjects
practicing tolerance stems from individual commitment to religious values supporting peace and coexistence
government-produced Islamic education textbooks now include a chapter on ‘Tolerance as the unifying mechanism of the nation’
religious education in any of the six official religions is intended to build character and give a strong religious foundation to prevent both radicalism and intolerance
proclaimed during the Protestant religious education class at a public high school
‘If we were able to follow our religion well – whether Muslim
or Confucian – if we were all able to follow our respective teachings
The 2013 curriculum also demands that teachers observe and assess students on their ability to form friendships across ethnicity
This is one of many core competencies in spiritual and social values that students have to demonstrate and all teachers must evaluate
But there are dozens of these competencies
leaving teachers overwhelmed by their grading responsibility and unable to pay specific attention to how students meet each requirement
Civic and religious education teachers are proud of Manado’s reputation for religious harmony
and many can cite structural realities that support coexistence in the city
such as the BKSAUA (Committee for Inter-religious Cooperation)
these local insights are often sidelined in the classroom for a focus on the textbook material
Examples cited by students and teachers tend to remain abstract
with minimal guidance on implementing these values in daily life
During the lesson on respecting others as citizens
asked students to brainstorm in groups about examples of behavior that show religious tolerance
Brian stated that it is important to avoid insulting other religions
‘Don’t compare religious teachings!’ Grace spoke up for her group
‘We have to keep harmonious inter-religious relations’
Ibu Pricilia nodded as she summarised that ‘religion is sensitive’
She explained that she is Protestant because she considers it the best religion for her
but those who are Muslim consider that the best religion for them
the class moved mechanically from one topic to the next
giving additional examples of behavior that does not discriminate based on race or ethnicity
students also had difficulty identifying concrete ways to respect diversity and national unity as citizens
who offered an abstract response: that in order to respect diversity
The struggle to verbalise concrete approaches to difference belies a broader assumption among both teachers and students that how to handle difference should be self-evident for anyone that respects diversity and national unity
assert that being friends with someone of a different religion is simply ordinary
a student at the madrasah said of her Christian friends
‘Their behavior is the same as my friends who share my religion
and they don’t differentiate between their friends who share their religion and those who don’t’
‘we are all the same in God’s eyes’ and that God created human diversity’
It was the same at a private Catholic school near Manado
denied the existence of cliques at the school
‘Hanging out with a friend is the same whether they have the same beliefs as me or not … because I think all that matters is that he or she is a good friend and we get along well’
With a religiously and ethnically diverse student body
including a large cohort of Christian Papuan youth
both students and teachers are proud of their multicultural campus and particularly sensitive to religious differentiation
Students from different religious backgrounds openly socialize at the school and religious education teachers often select lessons on avoiding discrimination or engaging in inter-religious dialogue
But bridging ethnic difference proves more challenging: students struggle to share dorms with and socialize with the Papuan students
even the seemingly self-evident practice of religious tolerance can get messy sometimes
dilemmas about how to manage inter-religious friendship and simultaneously meet religious requirements often center on food
Eka has been best friends with her Christian neighbor since they were little and goes to her house daily
and always goes home for dinner before returning to her friend’s house to continue hanging out
unsure about how to refuse food at their friends’ houses or parties in a polite way without offending them
both Christians and Muslims typically celebrate birthdays with buffet-style feasts and religious worship
said that she attends the parties of her Christian peers and ‘respects’ but does not participate in the worship
Others mentioned arriving late on purpose to avoid the worship portion
Muhammad avoids birthday parties altogether because of the presence of pork and other meats
even though Christians typically provide a separate table of food for Muslim guests
One Muslim student spoke about her Christian friends offering halal food at parties as a moving demonstration of tolerance
even though inter-religious friendship is a daily reality for many youth in Manado
the potential for religious conversion looms over their interactions with peers
With religious belonging taking on increased significance in the public sphere
it is not surprising that youth also feel the need for boundaries in inter-religious friendships
Some believe that talking about difference can help diffuse concerns about conversion
A boy at the madrasah who has a Christian cousin explained that difference can be ‘the start of getting to know each other within the boundaries that are set up
Because if someone is strong in his beliefs
hanging out with someone of a different religion opens the door to questions about not just conversion but dating and even marrying across religious lines
admitted to having a long-distance Christian boyfriend
Her peers at the madrasah teased her about it
adamant that their relationship was inappropriate
we will surely be united despite having different religions’
Religiously mixed marriages remain nearly impossible to register in Indonesia
and therefore typically involve the conversion of one partner
The prospect of conversion is extremely sensitive
Cita is aware of this reality: ‘But I am confused – he and I have different religions
Am I the one who has to be willing to give up my religion
Rani preferred to steer clear of inter-religious friendships in order to avoid a situation like Cita’s
explained that she minimises contact with her Muslim classmates
In Rani’s Protestant religious education class at the public school
her teacher had told the class to choose friends who bring them ‘closer to Christ’ and help them become deeper in their own faith
Christian youth encounter teachings about both the importance of respecting difference and about being surrounded by their own religious community being a positive influence
inter-religious friendship is encouraged as a sign of tolerance
Locals also point to historical Christian-Muslim intermarriage in the region as the foundation for religious harmony
says she has learned from her Christian relatives in her religiously-mixed family that ‘religious difference is not an obstacle’
She claims that her experience has led her to believe in the importance of having many different perspectives
youth still struggle to navigate inter-religious relationships
Others feel it necessary to point out difference so as to manage it
and also assuage ever-present fears of religious conversion
vague calls to ‘respect and value difference’ still assume that difference – especially religious difference – must be preserved
Many youth in Manado say that they do not claim their religion has a monopoly on truth
As citizens of a religiously pluralistic society
many believe that they are following the singular path to salvation
Though their textbooks extol the virtues of inter-religious friendship and students believe them to be an ordinary fact of life
youth in Manado have many different ways of living out these friendships in real life

was quarantined at the Anoa Breeding Center (ABC) in Manado
after being evacuated from Gorontalo on Thursday (9/7/2023)
the process of returning to the wild is expected to be difficult
as is the fulfillment of nutritional needs from milk
is being rehabilitated at a breeding center in Manado
after being evacuated from a resident's possession in Gorontalo
reintroducing the wild nature in the baby anoa is predicted to be challenging
The mountain anoa (Bubalus quarlesi) aged between two and three months
arrived at the Anoa Breeding Center (ABC) Manado on Thursday (7/9/2023) morning after being rescued by a team from the Resource Conservation Agency
His condition is stable without any injuries
but his wild nature has completely disappeared
Head of the North Sulawesi Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA)
The baby anoa was found alone in a plantation area 12 kilometers away from the village without its mother
"We received information on Monday (4/9/2023) through our staff at the Pulai Mas Popaya Raja Nature Reserve resort
"The rescue team was only able to leave the next day because they had prepared everything for a smooth evacuation," said Askhari
a mountain anoa (Bubalus quarlesi) was quarantined at the Manado Anoa Breeding Center (ABC)
the process of returning wild nature is feared to be difficult
as well as fulfilling nutrition from breast milk
wild animals evacuated from community ownership that are brought to North Sulawesi will be placed at the Tasikoki Animal Rescue Center (PPS) in North Minahasa
the North Sulawesi BKSDA decided to place Laksmi at ABC which is indeed an ex situ conservation center specifically for anoa
so far there have been no rehabilitated anoa
which is a consideration for us," said Askhari."

while the rest are lowland anoa (Bubalus depressicornis)
Head of the Manado Environmental and Forestry Instrument Standards Implementation Agency (BPSILHK)
said that Syam Mahmud was willing to let Laksmi go because he was sure of ABC's facilities
"Friends of the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) introduced the profile of ABC
showing pictures of anoa and the facilities here to him
the gentleman (Syam) is certain that this anoa will not be sold by unauthorized individuals
he is willing to hand it over to us," said Heru."
Laksmi was examined and identified by Afifah Hasna
She admitted that it was quite difficult to distinguish between the lowland and mountain anoa if they were still very young
"He was also found in the distribution area of the mountain anoa on the border between Gorontalo and Central Sulawesi
it will be revealed in three months," he said
the condition of the 11.4-kilogram anoa is stable
It is already accustomed to the presence of humans
the anoa baby immediately eats it like a pet animal
but it has not been compared to that of a healthy anoa yet
he must be quarantined for one month before being transferred to a larger enclosure and interacting with other anoa to prevent disease transmission
This is because in the area where he was found
there have been many deaths of wild pigs and even anoa due to Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD)
Samples from animal carcasses are currently being tested at the Maros Veterinary Center in South Sulawesi
Mother and child anoa (Bubalus depressicornis)
walk hand in hand in the Anoa Breeding Center Manado breeding pen
Raden was among four successful births out of a total of 12 anoa births over the last eight years
it is not known if he is in the incubation period of the virus
it will take at least one month to determine whether he is symptomatic or not
but it has not yet been compared to that of a healthy anoa," he said
unlike other anoas that were evacuated as adults
Without the presence of her biological mother
Afifah worries about the process of returning Laksmi's wild nature as anoa usually only leave their mothers at the age of 6-9 months
According to observations regarding the birth of five anoa in ABC
it is the duty of the mother to teach her offspring to fend for itself by searching for food
the baby anoa also requires milk from its mother to ensure proper growth and development
it is already common to use foster parents
we will provide special formula milk for livestock," said Afifah
Also read: Anoa Breeding Center Manado Welcomes the Birth of Fourth Baby
stated that they are attempting to encourage research on the treatment of orphaned Anoa babies
particularly because there has never been a mountain anoa born there
"The Anoa we rescued will stay here for a long time because he is still small
the main cause (of the existence) of ABC is population increase

A trash collector keeps working amidst the haze of smoke that surrounds the Sumompo landfill in the Tuminting area of Manado
The fire is believed to have been caused by high levels of methane gas in the trash pile
the fire at the Final Disposal Site or TPA Sumompo
The city government has not categorized this fire as an extraordinary event that requires special budget allocation
the area of the fire in the Sumompo landfill is estimated to be 10 hectares out of the 13.7-hectare disposal area
The condition is roughly the same as last week
Thick smoke billows from the gaps between the piles of garbage
spreading over the residential areas in the Buha and Mapanget districts
the Second Assistant of the Manado City Government
who led the integrated team in handling the Sumompo landfill fire
stated that no specific budget had been allocated for extinguishing the fire
The current 10-day-long fire is not yet considered an extraordinary event
"We are still using the existing budget from each respective local government apparatus
We are still trying to extinguish the fire while continuously hoping for rain to fall soon
the temperature in the landfill is extremely hot during midday," said Atto
A garbage truck passed through the smog that enveloped the Sumompo landfill site in the Tuminting area of Manado
This also means that scavengers and other workers at the landfill site do not receive a replacement for their income
uncontrollable smoke increases the risk of acute respiratory infections
They are encouraged to wear masks if they have to work under such conditions
"It is not possible to provide compensation because we do not have a budget for it yet
We have not allocated any special budget for the blackout
only the regular budget because we believe we can still find a way to manage it," he said

Atto declared that his team had distributed masks for free
The community members who experience respiratory issues can also receive free medical treatment at the health post that was established adjacent to the waste disposal site (TPA)
the same extinguishing efforts will continue at Sumompo TPA
The spraying of a mixture of water and eco-enzyme by the Manado Fire Department (Damkar) and Rescue was combined with extinguishing by Manggala Agni troops from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry
A garbage collector continues to work amidst the thick haze enveloping the Sumompo final disposal site in the Tuminting area of Manado
Because it had not been effective in extinguishing the fire
Atto stated that the government had written to the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) requesting the deployment of helicopters to drop water (water-bombing)
This method is considered the most effective as a substitute for the rain that never falls in Manado
the city government of Manado is anticipating the operation of the Regional Mammitarang Landfill in the Wori area of North Minahasa
The landfill will accommodate 500 tons of waste per day from Manado
Please note that the words "TPA" and "Minahasa Utara" were not translated as they are on the list of forbidden words
the Manado City Government awaits the operation of the Mammitarang Regional Landfill in the Wori area
we hope that the regional landfill would function properly
But that can be directly asked to the provincial government," said Atto
appreciates the role of the North Sulawesi Provincial Government
as well as the Indonesian National Army and Police who were involved in extinguishing the fire
"The City Government will continue to work to handle this as soon as possible
The public does not need to panic," he said
Residents are cleaning up garbage in the middle of the haze that enveloped the area around the Sumompo Landfill in the Tuminting region of Manado
The Provincial Environmental Agency of North Sulawesi has actively participated in fire extinguishing efforts by deploying one of its 18 fire trucks and rescue teams on the field
has also declared efforts to operationalize the regional landfill site as soon as possible
starting with a handover process from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR)
Olly stated that his office has already sent a letter to the PUPR Ministry
North Sulawesi's Deputy Governor Steven Kandouw stated that the physical form of the landfill had been completed and could be operational in no time
there is currently no third party responsible for managing it
PUPR Minister Basuki Hadimuljono said that the Mamitarang Regional TPA had a landfill area of 7.2 hectares
Construction has been carried out since December 2020 by PT Waskita Karya with multi-year APBN funds of IDR 128.5 billion
Drivers braved the smog that enveloped the area around the Sumompo landfill in Manado
The waste disposal site is equipped with a weighbridge station
as well as heavy equipment and truck garage
which can also generate electricity through waste energy
also has composting units and biodigesters to manage organic waste
a Soil Science lecturer at Sam Ratulangi University
considers the relocation of the landfill site from Sumompo Landfill to the Regional Landfill as a very good solution
the government and civil society need to start thinking creatively about how to reduce the volume of waste going to the landfill

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Lion Air Group canceled a total of 27 flights from and to Sam Ratulangi Airport in Manado, North Sulawesi, due to the Mount Ruang eruption on April 18
Corporate Communications Strategic of Lion Group
stated that his office had informed all passengers regarding the cancellation due to the Ruang volcano eruption
He ensured that Lion Group would accommodate the requests of affected passengers regarding the change of flight schedules
The canceled schedules include flights in big cities such as Jakarta
"As well as some other cities which include Ambon
and Ternate," he said in a written statement on Saturday
He said that safety aspects forced the Lion Air Group to cancel flights on several routes from and to Sam Ratulangi Airport
His side continues to communicate with airport authorities and follows up on the situation
"Flight operation will return to normal once the airport is declared safe and meets flight safety standard requirements."
volcanic ash from the Ruang volcano eruption can affect flight safety as it can scratch aircraft surfaces
including the cockpit windshield and wings
volcanic ash in the atmosphere can significantly reduce visibility
which is dangerous during takeoff or landing
"It can interfere with the aerodynamics of the aircraft," he said
which disrupts airflow and engine efficiency
It can also damage electronic systems and aircraft instruments
the presence of thick ash on the runway increases the risk of takeoffs and landings
Sam Ratulangi Airport in Manado is temporarily closed until Sunday
The decision followed the monitoring of volcanic ash activities of Mount Ruang
as well as Notice to AirMen Number A1021/24/NOTAMRT A1016/24
Sam Ratulangi Airport recorded 40 flight cancellations with 5,577 affected passengers.
