Cover Story
Old Dogs Learning New Tricks
Ten years have passed since reformasi (reforms) began. Much has changed. The president and local leaders are now elected directly by the people. Autonomy laws have enabled provinces to manage their own affairs. Local political stages are filled with newcomers. Their backgrounds are diverse: business owners, local politicians and even entertainers.
Business goes on as usual, but liberalization and deregulation has made competition increasingly open. At center stage, we still encounter old players. Like surfers, they are skilled at keeping their balance—perhaps even by using old tricks, which they should have left behind. They are the ones who are presently reaping the rewards of the reform era. Without fail, the old players still hold the keys. As it turns out, the one or two new players have their roots in the past as well.

The Paradise of Fish Plunderers
Fish plundering in Indonesian waters is rampant. Ships from various countries enter into potentiality fish-rich zones, like the Natuna islands, the Sulawesi and Arafura Seas. In one year, losses to the state caused by sea plundering comes to no less than Rp30 trillion. The plunderers work as effieciently as the mafia. A huge ship is anchored in the middle of the ocean, acting as the fence, while other vessels operate as the fuel supplier. There are currently 500 people imprisoned in Indonesia because of illegal fishing.
