The 2014 presidential election was held on July 9 2014. The candidates were Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto Gerindra, The candidates for the vice were Jusuf Kalla (Jokowi’s vice ) and Hatta Rajasa (Prabowo’s vice). On July 22 2014, the General Elections Commission announced Joko Widodo’s victory. Joko Widodo won the Presidential election in 2014 with 53,15% of the votes for him and 46,58% of the votes for Prabowo. The elections are carried out under the supervision of the General Elections Commission (KPU). The nominations of candidates for the presidential election may only be made by a party which has at least 20% of the seats in the national parliament ( DPR) or which received 25% of national votes in the previous national legislative election for the DPR. So indonesia is working on e-voting for the new system in the 2014 general elections. The basis of the e-voting system is electronic identity cards (e-KTP) which were expected to be ready nationwide by 2012 and have been tried in  six districts/cities such as Padang, Denpasar, Yogyakarta, Cilegon. How ever the election using e-voting was still not ready and the voters still vote with paper, the voters punch a hole between the 2 candidates’ photography, number, or name.

The cabinet was supposed to be announced on Wednesday 22 October, and a stage has been prepared at Jakarta Tanjung Priok harbour, but this event was cancelled at the last minute. The delays were caused by the decision of Joko Widodo to wait for comments from the People’s Representative Council. Another reason for the delayed announcement was his decision to involve the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) to ensure that prospective ministers did not have poor track records with regards to human rights or corruption. The KPK stated that eight of the original candidates were "problematic" and that alternatives should be found. One candidate for the post of coordinating minister for security affa...

"Blusukan"

"Blusukan" “Blusukan” comes from the main word “Blusuk”. "Blusuk" means entry ( come in ) in Javanese language.  If the word “Blusuk“ is positioned as a noun, the word will get suffix "-an”, which will then turn the word "Blusuk" into “Blusukan”. "Blusukan" is a term used to describe an activity entered onto a place then out again, and in again. However "blusukan" is a specific activity done in places that aren't considered a luxurious place. We can’t use the term “blusukan“  for activities done in places that are considered luxurious because more precisely, “ blusukan” is defined as an activity out into places that are rarely passed or visited by people. Our president uses the term “blusukan“ when he went to a place or visited a place and he gave benefits to that place . The first example is when president Jokowi gave out the "Kartu indonesia Sehat" ( KIS ) to 82 million people. The second example is After perf...
