A Blog Post from, Rozzie Schatz, Library Intern from New York University.

Since I began at Middle Temple Library in February, I have been slowly cataloguing the Library’s House of Lords Cases. While this cataloguing will continue long after my work study ends, I consider myself lucky to see some of the specific cases I enter into the spreadsheet. As an American, I know little about English law, and next to nothing about 18th-century English law, so it is always nice to glean bits and pieces of information from a well-endowed resource like the Middle Temple.

In my cataloguing, I have come across many cases involving the Dutch East-India Company abbr. VOC. This Dutch company held a 20-plus-year monopoly on European trade with Asia. They were a major force in the world economy of the 17th and 18th centuries, however, their aggressive expansion efforts led to conflicts with many European countries including England. Ultimately they went bankrupt, but not before finding themselves in hundreds of court cases in the House of Lords and other European legal systems.

This specific case:

Captain Alexander Hamilton (Appellants)

The Lords Directors of the Dutch East India Company, and Will. Drummond, their Factor, (Respondents)

Argues over a ruling in the seizure of a boat and its goods by the VOC in the Malaysian state of Malacca. A ship dubbed ‘Satisfaction’ arrived in Riau, Indonesia (spelled Rhio in the case report) on a regularly scheduled trading route. During the period Satisfaction was docked, the captain, Alexander Hamilton (no relation to the famed American politician and protagonist in the rap musical ‘Hamilton’) sent a smaller vessel to carry out additional, impromptu trade with Atcheen, in the Indonesian province of Ache.

The smaller vessel was set to go to Atcheen, when the King of Johor (spelled Johore in the case report), the region where the Satisfaction docked, requested that some copper be put aboard the smaller vessel and dropped off in Malacca on the way to Atcheen. The crew agreed and the vessel was loaded. As the vessel docked in Malacca and had the copper unloaded, the vessel’s captain and owner Mr. MacDowall purchased opium from another ship that was passing through the Port. The vessel then prepared to leave Malacca and continue to Atcheen when it was unexpectedly raided by the police of the VOC. The VOC arrested the people on board the vessel and seized its content including; 18 chests of opium, 1535 pounds of sandalwood, 167 pounds of shellac, and 26 pounds of agalla-wood. When Captain Hamilton appeared in court, he claimed it was an unlawful seizure, but the Malacca judge, backed by the VOC, cited a new city order regarding illegal contraband.

It is worth noting that even under this order, opium was a grey area and if it was determined to be contraband the law would allow for the seizure of just the opium and not the entirety of the contents of the ship.

Upon the decision in the Malacca court, which upheld that the seizure of the ship was rightful, Captain Hamilton filed a petition with the Court of Admiralty in Scotland. The Scottish court maintained that ultimately the initial ruling was not possible due to res judicata, a decision handed out by a judge which places finality upon the decision and does not allow for re-litigation regarding the case.

The House of Lords affirmed the Court of Admiralty’s decision that a court from one nation cannot label a case res judicata that has legal standing from beyond the country’s borders.

This case was a fun one to read, not only did it involve opium on the high seas, but I also learned a new term for a legal principle. This is just one of the many cases I have catalogued at Middle Temple and I have no doubt there is more legal jargon and high-stakes cases to be seen.

[CULTURE] Our Interests and Surroundings moulded our Linguistics Skills - Talk about the Bumis in Malaysia and Johor Heritage

Disclaimer: The Javanese mentioned here are the Javanese descendants in Malaysia and not Indonesian Javanese. In particular, Orang Jawa Johor (The Javanese People of Johor). And 'speak Malay' indicated Bahasa Melayu Johor. Everything shared is based on my observations and personal experiences of myself and Nadia, except wherever sources were cited.

***

Malays in Malaysia are diverse in ethnicities.

Within my family circles, they are Orang Jawa(The Javanese), Orang Bugis(The Bugis), Orang Laut(The Indigenous Malays of the Sea), Melayu Riau(Malays from Riau) and Orang Bajau(The Bajau). Often in Malaysia, especially in urban areas, if you have a slight Malay genetic makeup and you are a Muslim, your race is automatically a Malay. It was not until I went to University that I realised that was not always the case. Many Malaysians actually chose their ethnicities as their race in their NRIC(National Registration Identity Card).

My first exposure to this understanding was with my old friend back in the University.

Since he was from Sabah, I was not sure what his race was and was curious. So I asked, and he answered, “I’m Bugis.” I was baffled, cos no one ever told me their ethnicities in the first meets. So, I asked again, “So, you’re a Malay?” He again emphasised, “No. I am Bugis. Not Malay.” I’m confused. I was like, “But, ain’t Bugis also Malay?” He said, “Nooo… in Sabah, Malay and Bugis are different!” From there I understood that in East Malaysia they considered their ethnicity as their race, and most of them are sensitive about it. I also had a Muslim roommate who looked, Malay. She was from Sarawak. She had the same name as mine but with a Lee surname. So, I casually said, “Oh, your mom is Malay and your dad is Chinese?” She smiled and said, “No, I am not Malay, I’m half Melanau. And yes, my dad is Chinese.” There is Melayu Sarawak, but I learned that there is no such thing as a general term of Melayu Sabah. In Sabah, they do have Melayu Kedayan, Melayu Brunei and Melayu Cocos, tho. Although Kedayan is technically of a different ethnicity, they seem not to mind much being called Malay cos it seems they were quite similar or related(according to people I met)? Similar to the case of Kadazan-Dusun ethnicities. Due to their diversities in Sabah, most younger generations of Sabahan speak Bahasa Melayu Sabah which unites them. Unlike in Sarawak, people do speak Bahasa Melayu Sarawak, as much as many people speak Ibanese, too, due to large Iban populations.

A few years later, I helped my youngest sister sort her things in her hostel at a Polytechnic in Shah Alam, Selangor.

I can’t remember what the headlines but I saw a few candidate posters stating names, ages and races on the walls. What caught me was Bugis. I asked my sister, “There’s a lot of East Malaysians here?” “She replied, there are but not much. These are Bugis from Johor actually.” That was my second wave of understanding the local cultural dynamic. It hit me, that in suburbans, where one ethnicity is concentrated, they do tend to use their ethnicity as their race, regardless they are Westerners or Easterners of Malaysia. Although, generally in West Malaysia, we don’t really mind being labelled as Malays. I was ignorant because I had a cousin-in-law in Johor who speaks Bugis at home, but her NRIC still stated her race as Malay. Her family identified themselves as Melayu Bugis. She grew up in Kampung Bugis in Pontian. And my uncle(by marriage to my paternal aunt) is a Bajau from Ulu Tiram, Johor. But, he is Malay in his NRIC.

The unfortunate part about living in urban areas is, that the children tend not to use and practice the minor languages.

My cousins admitted that my uncle did teach them the Bajau language growing up, but since their grandparents had passed away and they lived in Johor Bahru, they did not practice and had forgotten most of it. My Uni bestie is from Labuan, her dad is a Dusun from Beaufort, Sabah. Even though she went back to the village at least once a year growing up, she only understands a bit and does not speak the language. Since all her cousins are also of mixed ethnic backgrounds, they simply used Bahasa Melayu Sabah. She used primarily Bahasa Melayu Sabah in her daily life in Labuan and speaks English at home. Her mother is a German-Chinese of Sabah. One of my besties in Johor Bahru, Nadia, speaks no Javanese except a few common phrases, despite inheriting some percentage of Javanese blood from her parents and visiting Kampung Jawa yearly for Raya gatherings.

I am delighted to interview Nadia, a Javanese Malay from Johor Bahru, Johor.

Her father is of Bugis-Jawa heritage, originally from Sungai Balang, Muar, Johor. He spoke primarily Malay at home. Her late mother, however, was a full-fledged Javanese from Parit Jawa, Muar, Johor. She grew up speaking Javanese with her family and the neighbours. So, growing up until today, Nadia does go back to Muar and mingle with the Javanese community at least once a year. When her grandparents were alive, she used to visit them monthly. Her fondest memories back in the village were playing with fireworks with her cousins’ children and the bustling surroundings during “rewang” and “makan time”, especially in the festive mood of Raya.

Nadia is fluent in Malay and English. Her favourite “Malay” dishes are; terung balado and bakso. A few simple Javanese phrases she can speak are like “Have you eaten?”, “How are you?” and numbers. To her, the similarity of Javanese to Bahasa Melayu Johor is only about 80%. However, she felt whenever she listens to the elders, it sounds more like Bahasa Indonesia than Bahasa Malaysia. Perhaps, due to their thick Javanese accents.

As early as her memories can reach, she has been exposed to the Javanese language since child.

Her late mother always used Boso Jowo with her immediate family and neighbours in Kampong. She remembered her late grandmother always spoke Javanese with her. It is always a fond memory of whenever her late grandmother laughs at her failure to imitate the Javanese words properly, and they laugh together. Her grandmother encouraged her to speak the language and patiently explained the meaning. Yet, the words failed to stick to her mind. Her younger self thought, that since people could understand Malay and I don’t use Javanese at home or outside of kampung, therefore, her lack of interest, hinders her progress in the language. Although she used Malay with the villagers, sometimes she will try to reply in broken Javanese. As an adult, she admitted that it would be nice if she could fully understand then the elders and people in the village converse. Like her, unfortunately, none of her cousins speaks Boso Jowo.

I once visited her village back in 2009 I think, with my family. I must say, everyone spoke Malay with thick Javanese accents there, even the local youngsters. I remember when we stopped a boy, probably around 10 years old to ask for directions, his accent was so thick that it surprised our family. My parents smiled and found it cute actually. I listened carefully to comprehend his words. After we moved on, I asked, “How come his Javanese accent is so thick, yet he’s Malaysian?” My dad replied, “We are in Kampung Jawa Cha… everyone speaks Javanese here. The boy probably rarely goes out from the village’s perimeter and is even schooled within.” When we reached her place, we were served with Nasi Ambeng Dulang. What amused me was, everyone else but us converse in Javanese. Fascinating.

Remember, Nadia’s Javanese proficiency is almost zero.

Yet, she speaks Japanese. She even took tests. She is the holder of the N5 JLPT certificate. (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test). Her Japanese is not completely grammatically correct, but, she definitely can guess any sentence if she knows the root words of the message of whatever the speakers were conveying. What inspired her to learn Japanese is her love for Anime (Japanese Animations). She finds the language cute and quirky. She has visited Japan twice: Kyoto and Osaka. Her favourite Javanese phrase is ‘Wes Mangan?’ (Have you eaten?) and her favourite Japanese phrase is ‘Onaka Suita!’ (I’m hungry!)

According to Nadia, language is a culture. By knowing different languages, you will be able to understand people better.

Me too, growing up with Johoreans and spending most of my adolescent years in Johor Bahru, I didn’t realise that we are influenced by the Javanese and Middle Eastern cultures in our foods and Malay dialects.

I only felt the differences when I visited other states and spoke with the locals. And when I found similar foods or cultures, it was due to the Javanese communities there. In some states, they do not understand what is “rewang”(community works together for the benefit of everyone, not limited to but usually for gatherings involving foods) and ‘kawen padok’(arranged marriage). I first realised the Arabic influences when I started to mingle with the Arabs back in Uni. My favourite Malay foods are Nasi Ambeng and Mee Rebus (A variation of Mee Jawa, yet less sweet and more starchy. Served with “kerak” = crunchy bits). For lauks, I love Asam Pedas Tetel and my father loved Asam Pedas Ikan Semilang. Must have Daun Kesum! It is common for us in Johor to eat in dulang(big round tray) during special occasions at the mosques or “kenduri”. We were taught that it is to strengthen relationships. The practice is not limited to only Nasi Ambeng. It can be nasi putih with other dishes as well. Or Nasi Minyak. However, I must admit, today, this tradition has been replaced by buffet menus, especially in urban houses.

As an adult, I now understand even the Malay culture in Johor is a melting pot of many other cultures.

I assumed it was due to the demographic of our trading industry, as well as the royal history. To start, let’s talk about Johor Foods. Nasi Ambeng & Mee Rebus were brought in by the Javanese. Kacang Pool by the Arabs. One of the Johor Royal Family Members back in the eras craved Spaghetti Bolognese, so the Royal Cook invented Laksa Johor. Next, Dance and Music. Zapin Johor was inspired by a type of Arabic dance and created by the local Peranakan Arab community. Kuda Kepang Johor was brought in by the Javanese and later modified by the locals to remove the unislamic rituals. Ghazal, a music inspired by the Arabs, was brought in during the Johor-Lingga dynasty by people from Riau. Keroncong which originated from the influences of the Portuguese in Java Island, was brought in due to the interest within the Royal family. Today, all of these are considered Johor Heritage.

My parents identify themselves as Melayu Johor.

My late paternal grandmother was of Orang Laut-Javanese heritage. Her family used to live by the sea near Jalan Wong Ah Fook in Johor Bahru. She was schooled at Sekolah Bukit Zahra until Primary 4. Even in her days, since she lived in the city, she only spoke Malay at home and within the community. She understood a little bit of Javanese. She then was married to my late grandfather, a Bugis-Melayu Johor. They lived their whole lives in Kampong Melayu Majidee after they got married. My grandmother sells food and my grandfather was a notice officer. My late grandfather also, only speaks Malay and basic English. Note that Melayu Johor means their heritage was all blended with no significant traits of any particular ethnicity. Therefore, my late father and his other seven elder siblings also, only speak Malay at home.

The older generation tends to speak Malay with English terms. I remember my conversation with my late paternal grandmother, “Aku nak pegi bayar pine kat bando. Nanti bagitau bapak ko.”(Tell your dad, I am going to the city to pay ‘pine’.) I was like okay. Then I relayed the message to my dad and asked him further, “Bah, pine tu ape?” (Dad, what is ‘pine’?) He answered, “Ohhh.. maktok ko nak gi bayar Fine, denda denda…” (Ohh… your grandmother wants to pay ‘Fine’, government-issued fines.)

My late mother’s heritage is more diverse.

My maternal grandfather was of Bugis on his father's side and Chinese-Siam Johor on his mother’s side. I am not sure what language he spoke growing up, but, throughout his life, he spoke Malay, English and understood Bugis. My maternal grandmother’s father was Dutch(Indonesian) and her mother was a Melayu Riau-Persian from Tanjong Balai, Pulau Karimun of Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia. When she was still a baby she was given to her child-less aunt who married a Bugis Johor and lived in Parit Sulong, Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia. Although she originally had many siblings, she grew up as a bratty only child in the family (according to her). She did experience Japanese school during the occupation. Thus, she primarily spoke Malay, understood English and very basic Japanese. Interestingly, my late grandfather has never been to a Japanese school, I am not sure why. At home, my maternal grandmother speaks Malay and my maternal grandfather speaks Malay and English to their children. After married, they lived in one of the government bungalows in Kota Kecil, Kota Tinggi, Johor.

My maternal grandmother is a housewife and my maternal grandfather was a medical dresser. Back in the day, dressers and nurses did almost as much as the doctors. According to my mother, he often did visitations to rural areas in Johor for medical checkups and treatments of the people. And people actually called him Doctor. He even has his own dispensary room and the back of their home in Kota Kecil. She sometimes watched her father compounding medicines, and her father would happily explain the process.

Before my parents pursued their studies for tertiary education, they did their schooling in Johor.

My father went to Ngee Heng Primary School, Aminudin Baki Secondary School(SAB) and Sultan Ismail High School (SSI). All in Johor Bahru. My mother went to Laksamana Secondary School in Kota Tinggi until Form 3, before her family relocated to Johor Bahru. She completed her secondary school at IJ Convent Girls School until Form 5. She then proceeded to Sultan Ibrahim’s Girls School during her High School years. That was when my parents met, during their bus rides.

When I was young, I always wondered, we are all Malays, yet, why my cousins on my father's side were not comfortable with English?

Most of my uncles and aunts speak English but not comfortable much, unless they were in the army or government officers. Whereas, even though we mainly used Malay in our conversations, still, everyone on my mother's side speaks and understands English well. And their basic medical knowledge is better. But, for traditional foods, definitely people on my father's side, cook more delicious delicacies! Laksa Johor and Asam Pedas were my favourites! As far as I am concerned, my mother's side never cooked Laksa Johor at home and my mother was the first in the family that regularly cooked Asam Pedas at home. But, to be fair, my mother’s side always makes delicious Ayam Masak Lemak Cili Padi, another favourite of mine, and my mother’s favourite: Asam Rebus Ikan Baung, and these were rare on my father's side. Nonetheless, since we all are Johoreans, we always eat Kuah Lodeh and Sambal Kacang on the first day of Aidilfitri!

Slowly, I observed and comprehended. One, the languages growing up differ. Hence the proficiency. Two, the family dynamic and community were different. Hence, the basic knowledge and palate differences. But these days, the youngsters, my nieces and nephews from both sides, speak English equally as well as Malay. Unfortunately, many of them equally do not know many traditional dishes.

My maternal grandmother was only comfortable writing and reading in Jawi(Malay written with modified Persian-Arabic scripts).

Everything in her phonebook by the landline phone was all in Jawi. My Jawi before secondary school was very weak, I only knew the letters and was unable to construct any sentences except for my full name. So, whenever I had sleepovers at her place and she asked me to call someone, I was struggling to look through the phonebook and always had to refer back to her. Then, there was a time after she had an eye surgery when she had to spell out the letters for me and I was ‘crawling’ searching for the mentioned name or messages in the phonebook, haha. And my maternal Mak Ngah (Second-born Aunt), who is in her 70s now, was a secretary. She also prefers to use Jawi in her shorthand notes. I, myself and my brother, can write and read Jawi. Although, not as fast as the standard modern Malay. However, both of my younger sisters can only read a little bit of Jawi. And not comfortable writing in Jawi at all.

Time flies, and culture evolves. These are the reasons why State or Federal organisations and foundations are necessary to preserve and conserve our heritage in documentation. So that, our history is not wiped out in the future.

Other photos are sourced from Asam Pedas, Laksa Johor, Nasi Ambeng, Ghazal, Mosque, SSI and SIGS.

***

P/s: In my next article, inshaAllah I will write about an individual with Thai-Malay heritage in Penang.

APRIL2030: Dari Perusahaan Kertas Menuju Promotor Ekonomi Hijau

Kehidupan modern saat ini sangat erat dan tak terpisahkan dari kertas, mulai dari kegiatan ibu rumah tangga sehari-hari yang menyeduhkan teh kepada keluarganya dengan produk teh celup, hingga perusahaan-perusahaan besar yang menggunakan papan-papan berbahan dasar pulp. Sadarkah bahwa produk-produk berbahan kertas yang kita gunakan sehari-hari adalah hasil olahan teknologi dengan bahan baku kayu? Jika tidak diproduksi dengan memperhatikan lingkungan, pohon-pohon di hutan beserta ekosistem di dalamnya akan habis suatu saat nanti. Lantas apa yang harus dilakukan? Pertanyaan ini dijawab dengan baik oleh Asia Pacific Resources International Limited (APRIL) Group melalui program APRIL2030.

Jika asing dengan nama APRIL, mari berkenalan. APRIL Group adalah salah satu perusahaan penghasil pulp dan kertas yang terbesar, dengan teknologi terkini dan terefisien di dunia. Ingin tahu dimana produksinya? Di Indonesia! Ya, APRIL Group adalah perusahaan yang operasionalnya berada di Provinsi Riau, Sumatera. Sebagai perusahaan kertas, APRIL Group sangat memperhatikan keberlanjutan hutan industri mereka. Terbukti dengan komitmen APRIL Group yang berkontribusi dalam mendukung target Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) pemerintah indonesia dalam mewujudkan ekonomi hijau, melalui APRIL2030 yang menargetkan nol emisi karbon pada penggunaan lahan di 2030 mendatang.

4 Komitmen APRIL2030

Mengutip dari Sustainability Report APRIL Group 2021, melalui APRIL2030 perusahaan ini ingin turut andil dalam menerapkan dampak positif pada lingkungan, iklim, alam, beserta masyarakat sembari terus memajukan bisnisnya. Ada 4 komitmen utama dengan 18 target misi yang ingin dicapai melalui APRIL2030 demi mendukung SDGs yang dicanangkan oleh PBB yang tentunya diikuti juga oleh Indonesia. Keempat komitmen tersebut adalah Climate Positive (Iklim Positif), Thriving Landscapes (Lanskap yang Berkembang), Inclusive Progress (Kemajuan Inklusif), dan Sustainable Growth (Pertumbuhan Berkelanjutan).

Climate Positive

Tergabung dalam inisiatif Science Based Targets (SBTi), menandakan bahwa APRIL Group serius dalam membantu pemerintah mewujudkan ekonomi hijau di Indonesia. Target yang ingin dicapai APRIL2030 dalam komitmen iklim yang positif dan bersih diantaranya mencapai bersih emisi pada 2030, mengurangi 25% intensitas emisi karbon produk, mencanangkan 90% daya pada pabrik menggunakan energi bersih dan terbarukan, hingga memasuk 50% dari total energi pengoberasian fiber menggunakan energi yang terbarukan. Sebagai catatan, APRIL Group telah memanfaatkan panel surya sebagai salah satu sumber energi di wilayah operasional Pangkalan Kerinci, yang memproduksi 1MW energi.

Thriving Landscapes

APRIL Group memastikan bahwa sebagian besar lanskap mereka dilestarikan, dilindungi, dan keanekaragaman hayati di dalamnya terus bertumbuh. Persentase pendapatan dari hutan tanaman APRIL Group digunakan untuk restorasi dan konservasi hutan. Inisiatif ini termasuk memperluas kawasan konservasi dan restorasi di luar tapak operasi dan memastikan nol kehilangan bersih kawasan hutan lindung untuk mencapai keuntungan terukur dalam nilai ekosistem. Meminimalkan jumlah lahan yang dibutuhkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan produksi, APRIL Group berinvestasi dalam penelitian silvikultur dan inovasi teknologi untuk mencapai peningkatan 50% dalam produktivitas serat perkebunan.

Inclusive Progress

Sebagai perusahaan besar, tentunya APRIL Group turut memiliki tanggung jawab sosial pada masyarakat di Provinsi Riau, tempat wilayah operasionalnya berpusat. Maka kemajuan yang inklusif adalah tindakan APRIL Group untuk terus membantu masyarakat sekitarnya berdaya. Sektor kesehatan, pendidikan, dan inklusi gender adalah yang termasuk dalam fokus utama APRIL Group pada komitmen ini. APRIL Group melalui APRIL2030 menargetkan untuk memberantas kemiskinan ekstrem dalam radius 50 km dari wilayah operasional, sambil meningkatkan pendidikan dan akses universal pada perawatan kesehatan. APRIL Group juga menargetkan untuk turut membantu pemerintah untuk menurunkan prevalensi stunting sebesar 50% pada anak di bawah usia lima tahun di Provinsi Riau.

Sustainable Growth

Pertumbuhan yang berkelanjutan bagi APRIL Group adalah terus berinvestasi pada perkembangan bersama dengan iklim, alam, dan masyarakat disekitarnya. Meningkatkan efisiensi material dan pemulihan bahan kimia melalui pengurangan penggunaan air proses per ton produk dan pengurangan limbah padat adalah bukti nyata yang akan dilakukan APRIL Group untuk mencapai target ini. Melalui APRIL2030, perusahaan ini akan mengambil 20% serat selulosa untuk viscose dari tekstil daur ulang, serta akan mengurangi 80% sampah padat yang dibuang ke TPA (Tempat Pembuangan Akhir).

Keseriusan APRIL Group dalam menyokong ekonomi hijau yang berkelanjutan ini tentunya menjadikan APRIL Group bukan hanya sekedar perusahaan kertas biasa yang memanfaatkan sumber daya alam di Indonesia, APRIL Group melalui inisiasi APRIL2030 telah menjadi promotor ekonomi hijau di Indonesia. Semoga inisiasi APRIL2030 menjadi role model bagi para pelaku industri di sektor lain untuk turut aktif mendukung SDGs Indonesia yang dicanangkan rampung pada tahun 2030 mendatang.

An Introduction to Privilege life Roots of me

I came from a privileged family. Both side of my family came from the one who benefitting the era. Let me introduce my roots.

PT B**** and PT P********

This part is my mother side of family. Their story is quite interesting, they live their whole life being a nomad. One born on some place and moving to another. They raised basically everywhere. Like how my aunts and uncles born and raised in different places. Once they lived in North Sumatra near Aceh. Then, they moved to Dumai in Riau for a long time. Then, they moved to Bontang in East Kalimantan due my grandad work that's related to mining/oil, i don't really remember. To move like that, with total of 5 kids and parents (in total 7 people), one province to another province and moving to another island (and it's a rare mobility to get there) it surely a huge privilege. They live a comfort days benefitting the era of New Order. My mom is the first one to move to Jakarta to study in some vocational at the East. She said that she could live comfortably in kos-kosan even though from what i heard it's not the fanciest one (she mentioned how they have to share bathroom per floor). To be able move from Bontang to Jakarta must be cost expensively! second, vocational academy it's not cheap. For today's currency is on 7+11 millions, that must be cost a lot of money for study-living-for fun. She had a lot of entry to mid designers thingy, which of course not cheap. I have a story or two about how they began to fall down, but i can't tell all of them here.

2. Military (**) and Business

This part is my father side of family. I don't exposed much about their story since i don't like them in general (so i usually hide away or not listening in general). Shortly short, my alm. grand father is served in TNI with mid to higher position, which is you know how privileged you are when served to this 'man' (while this 'man' is also rise from the militaru background). They moved to one place to another place too. Both of my grandparents raised in Java, my grandma said that she's come from blue blood of Java (i don't trust her tbh, because i always annoyed when she always ask me to behave like a priyayi). They moved from Java to West Sumatra where they had my dad, and then later they moved to Bali, and their last is in Jakarta at 1970-1980-ish. In Jakarta, my grand father died a little too young that left my grandma a widow. She had a lot of assets, acres of soil in Jakarta-Bekasi, Transportation business (Metromini (?)), and any other thing that i don't really know. My house that i live and writing this was one of her assets, my core family don't own this. Oh, my father is studied at Trisakti, where it's a reputable private university while majoring in Architectural. He used wanting to get in to Parahyangan, where every good Arc produced from there, my grandma get him a after school course preparation to get into there, but failed. The privilege my father has that he drive his car to his campus with a lot of expensive designer clothes and fancy tools for studies.

I didn't realize this after i reached higher education, university year to be exact. Don't get me wrong, my core family is inheriting the privilege. But for only one kid, my oldest brother, before it all went down like hill.

As my oldest brother claimed that he always go to Plaza Senayan to play weird michael jackson space ship thingy, go to Dufan regularly, hang out at Pondok Indah Mall when he was a child. Even mentioned that my core family when were only 3 (dad, mom, and brother) had a house in Jababeka/Cikarang. I cannot believe that we used to have a house or property on our own. But, the house later sold for 'i don't really know' reason.

It's weird to hear all that. When at the same time my mother told that when our family at our worst financial condition, my older brother and i were almost bargained for the friend of mom that is rich and not having a kid.

Me and my older brother not really living in that time where we inheriting the privilege of our grandparents. We just live a life... i don't really know how to describe it though, because for me, it's my normal life.

It's kind of cliffhanger to leave it like this, but that's what i can say and tell.

Characteristics Of Patience Among Students With Disabilities In Higher Education: A Phenomenological Study

This phenomenological study aims to deepen the understanding of the characteristics of patience among students with disabilities in higher education. The basis for this research lies in the Indonesian Law Number 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities, which is further regulated by the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 48 of 2023, specifically addressing the provision of appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities in higher education. The qualitative phenomenological approach was employed in this study. The research objective was to explore the characteristics of patience among students with disabilities in higher education. Two students with disabilities from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Islamic Riau were selected as the research subjects. The study revealed that the characteristics of patience among these students were related to academic resilience, self-control, resilience, and selfacceptance. For students with physical disabilities, patience was primarily associated with limitations in physical mobility, while for students with hearing impairments, patience was linked to limitations in hearing. The implications of this research emphasize the crucial need for counseling services to support and enhance the patience of students with disabilities. Furthermore, the Indonesian government must firmly enforce Law Number 8 of 2016, as it pertains to human rights, particularly for students with disabilities in higher education.

Keywords: Patience, Students with Disabilities, Higher Education, Phenomenological Study, Accommodations

MY Future Career

I am the second of three children; I am from Duri City, and I was born 18 years ago. I come from a simple, cypress family. I am one of the students at Riau University, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Mathematics Education. Yep, thank God I am at one of my dream universities. Bismillah can go abroad!

I want to learn about writing. Since elementary school, I have liked to read various types of books and dream of having a book that I write myself and have read by many people. In addition, I will create a platform to share what I know and what I want to know with the community. If it is related to my major, the skills I want to learn are continuous.

The thing I like most about this department is that there will be a PPL, also known as the Field Experience Program. I will meet many students, and I will teach the knowledge I gain to them. In addition, what is interesting for me in this PPL is that I can interact with various types of learning models that I can use and that can be applied in the future. To support my knowledge as an educator, I aspire to continue my studies abroad, with special majors in teachers and curriculum. I want to move into the world of education.

Cerita Rumah Selaras dengan Olymplast

Photo by Elle Hughes on Pexels.

Uang, berilah aku rumah yang murah saja, yang cukup nyaman buat berteduh senja-senjaku, yang jendelanya hijau menganga seperti jendela mataku. ― Joko Pinurbo, Kepada Cium

Syair puisi di atas persis ditulis tahun 2007 dan berisi setidaknya dua penanda hajat hidup masyarakat Indonesia yang relevan hingga sekarang: rumah murah.

youtube

Perhatikan bagaimana satu Indonesia pernah geger lantaran ibu menteri keuangan, Sri Mulyani, beberapa waktu silam berujar bahwa milenial akan sulit memiliki rumah di masa depan dan harus rela menetap di pondok indah mertua (PIM). Implikasinya ialah banyak masyarakat yang langsung merespons dengan memborong KPR atau yang lainnya justru mengaduh nasib di media sosial.

Fenomena ini lantas menggiring kita pada tanda tanya baru terkait: mengapa seseorang amat mendambakan rumah?

Esensi Rumah

Saat usia belia, kita mungkin pernah memelihara kelomang. Kelomang terlahir ke dunia dengan tubuh lunak tanpa cangkang. Sehingga, sepanjang hidupnya kelomang perlu mencari ‘rumah’ yang tepat dari gastropoda untuk dapat melindungi tubuh rentannya.

Kelomang juga bersembunyi di balik cangkang untuk menghindari serangan predator. Di sisi lain, hawa panas saat di ‘hah’ oleh bocah SD konon memaksa kelomang untuk absen muka.

Kelomang menjadi metafora terbaik peran rumah bagi setiap manusia. Esensinya sangatlah sederhana yakni tempat ternyaman untuk berlindung.

Hal serupa juga dapat ditelusuri melalui jejak manusia purba zaman Mesolitikum yang singgah di abris sous roche, sejenis gua yang menyerupai ceruk batu karang yang berlokasi dekat sungai atau pantai, untuk berteduh dari hujan badai dan teriknya matahari.

Abris sous roche. Photo by David Yu on Pexels.

Manusia purba masa itu hidup nomaden dengan keahlian seadanya yakni berburu. Baru ketika volume otak mereka kian membesar dan cukup andal dalam bercocok tanam, Homo Sapiens di masa Holosen mendirikan rumah sederhana di atas pohon, di tengah sawah atau hutan untuk tempatnya bernaung. Pada fase ini, rumah berarti lebih dari shelter (tempat berlindung), melainkan mencirikan kemajuan peradaban.

Rumah vs Manusia

Masalahnya, yang terjadi belakangan ini justru pembangunan rumah mendatangkan problemanya tersendiri. Sebab dasarnya ialah kenaikan populasi. Di Indonesia, hanya dibutuhkan waktu setengah tahun untuk menambah 1,5 juta jiwa di tahun 2022. Kehadiran ‘warga baru’ praktis memerlukan lahan untuk ditinggali.

Hal ini tak jarang mengorbankan penopang alam, wabil khusus hutan. Prof. Dodik Ridho Nurrohmat, guru besar kehutanan IPB, menyebut bahwa penyebab utama deforestasi ialah kecilnya nilai hutan. Nilai hutan akan naik 10 kali lipat jika jadi perkebunan sawit dan naik 100 kali lipat jika jadi perumahan. Dalam konteks ini, hutan yang disulap jadi perumahan dipastikan purna tugas dalam menyeimbangkan ekosistem dan menyuplai oksigen yang notabene dibutuhkan manusia untuk tetap eksis di muka bumi.

Selain itu, kita juga dihadapkan oleh fenomena gentrifikasi. Loretta Lees, profesor Geografi dari University of Leicester, mendefinisikannya sebagai proses transformasi kawasan dengan kondisi fisik buruk (baca: kumuh) atau lahan kosong di perkotaan menjadi aneka properti mewah yang hanya dapat dinikmati oleh pekerja kerah putih (kelas menengah ke atas) untuk fungsi komersil.

Saya dan anda mungkin tanpa disadari telah merasakan tanda-tanda kemunculan gentrifikasi. Sebagai contoh, menjamurnya bangunan mewah seperti apartemen, real estate, mall, dan hotel. Pemerintah kota tentu mengatakan agenda ini sebagai upaya peremajaan kota.

Sayangnya, alih-alih mewujudkan kota impian, gentrifikasi justru menebalkan kesenjangan dan merugikan kota maupun warganya secara keseluruhan. Warga Kampung Miliran di Yogya misalnya, sejak tahun 2014 mengalami penyusutan muka air tanah di musim kemarau lantaran pembangunan hotel-hotel di sekitarnya. Atau tentang penggusuran paksa warga Tamansari Bandung di tahun 2017 yang memicu unjuk rasa sebagai ongkos pendirian taman kreatif dan apartemen. Apakah kini artinya yang langgeng ialah HAM (Hotel, Apartemen, Mall) di atas HAM sesungguhnya?

Konsep Ugahari dan Esensialisme

Maka, saat Olymplast bertanya perihal “Makna Rumah Untukmu”, hal ini hanya bisa saya jawab ketika saya telah mendefinisikan rumah secara proporsional dan bijaksana.

Bagi saya, rumah adalah citra. Saat kita menciptakan tempat yang memenuhi kebutuhan kita dan mengekspresikan karakter kita, kita sejatinya sedang memperkaya hidup kita.

Ada konsep yang bernama Ugahari, yang memiliki arti pas, tidak kurang dan tidak lebih.

Ugahari adalah perspektif selaras yang dapat diemban ketika sedang membangun rumah. Konsep ini fokus melihat potensi yang ada di sekitar bangunan.

Dalam konsep Ugahari, kata kuncinya ialah “memberi”. Apa yang bisa kita beri pada tetangga, pada alam, dan seterusnya.

Jika arus modernitas mengusir penduduk dan mengusik kesejahteraan lingkungan, maka Ugahari berusaha mempertahankan apa yang telah ada. Misalnya, apakah pohon X yang berada di lahan yang hendak dibangun bisa dipertahankan atau ditebang separuhnya untuk memastikan suasana tetap teduh?

Tak kalah pentingnya, Ugahari juga fokus mengidentifikasi sumber daya terdekat. Apakah keluarga atau tetangga ada yang berprofesi sebagai tukang? Lalu, kita punya apa saja? Apakah punya teralis bekas, pintu bekas, lemari warisan, dan sebagainya. Baru setelah itu kita membayangkan kebutuhan semen, paku, dan aneka bahan bangunannya itu berapa. Tidak serta merta salin tempel desain yang ada di Pinterest, tetapi lebih visioner dan realistis dalam praktiknya.

Saya merasakan sendiri betapa Ugahari menyediakan sedikit ruang untuk nostalgia. Jendela tua di rumah saya misalnya, berasal dari rumah masa kecil bapak saya yang terkena gempa. Meski digoncang gempa yang dahsyat, jendela tua itu justru yang paling kokoh di antara retakan tembok rumah kakek dan nenek. Sekarang, jendela tua itu menjadi tempat favorit saya saat melihat langit yang mulai memar, dari ungu ke biru hingga menjadi hitam legam.

Dalam misi mengisi rumah, bapak dan ibu saya turut pula membeli aneka perabot baru. Prinsip yang dipegang ialah esensialisme yakni memprioritaskan fungsionalitas barang di atas aspek estetikanya saja. Sehingga, barang yang dibeli tepat guna.

Misal, di rumah kami ada ranjang. Apa yang ada di kolong ranjang bukanlah debu semata, tetapi foldable box yang dapat diisi oleh koleksi baju maupun printilan aksesoris.

Membeli barang baru tidak mesti membuang barang lama dan berkontribusi menciptakan polusi jika yang dibeli ialah barang yang siklikal atau bisa dipakai selama mungkin.

Totalitas Mengisi Rumah dengan Olymplast

Resiko tinggal di negara tropis ialah lembap sepanjang tahun. Apa boleh buat, lemari kayu di rumah kami pun sekali waktu pernah dibabat habis oleh koloni rayap.

Namun, seperti kata pepatah “Selalu ada jalan menuju Roma”, saat ini kita terbantu oleh brand perabotan lokal yang mendukung konsep esensialisme dan Ugahari.

Adalah Olymplast, perusahaan besutan PT. Cahaya Bintang Plastindo yang berdiri tahun 2015 di Gresik dan memproduksi beragam Perabotan Rumah Tangga berbahan plastik yang mengusung desain minimalis dengan ketahanan produk terbaik.

“Lho, kok pakai plastik? Gak sustainable dong.”

Justru karena bahannya plastik berkualitas, perabotan jadi awet, kan?

Plastik sekali pakai pada pembungkus makanan itu memang salah, tetapi tidak semua produk yang berbahan plastik layak dikambinghitamkan.

Nah, salah satu contohnya ada ODC (Olymplast Drawer Cabinet) 04 Modern. Drawer plastik dengan storage 4 tingkat yang kokoh, anti rayap, dan anti jamur. Anda pasti tahu kan bahwa rayap maupun jamur tidak doyan bahan plastik? Dengan bahan plastik, ini memungkinkan perawatan perabotan yang mudah, barang terjaga, dan tak perlu keluar kocek untuk sekedar membeli termisida.

Meski ODC 04 Modern ini muat segala hal dari mulai baju, tas, selimut sampai album kenangan mantan sekolah, tetapi drawer ini sangat mudah dirakit maupun diajak transmigrasi antar ruang karena bobotnya yang ringan. Apalagi, drawer ini punya warna earth tone kalem yang cocok di segala tema ruang.

Bagi para penganut esensialisme, penting memastikan multifungsi barang. ODC series punya ambalan motif kayu yang tak hanya sedap dipandang, tetapi juga kuat karena tersusun dari material particle board. Jadi, tak perlu ragu jika sewaktu-waktu ingin meletakkan perabot mini, seperti lampu tidur atau bahkan diffuser.

Selain drawer ODC, Olymplast juga punya perabot rumah yang mengesankan lainnya. Ada rak trolley OFT berwarna crème yang punya roda dan cocok untuk menaruh barang-barang ready-to-go seperti hijab, parfum, handuk atau bahkan buku-buku. Bisa dikatakan, rak ini mendukung terwujudnya pergerakan sat-set-sat-set para penghuni rumah saat memasuki jam-jam kritis (baca: kesiangan ngantor).

Kalau di rumah-rumah orang Jepang, rak trolley seperti OFT biasa difungsikan untuk tempat penyimpanan pakaian yang hendak dicuci. Pakaian dipisahkan berdasarkan fungsinya (baju kerja, baju santai, dan pakaian dalam) maupun bahannya (katun, wol, sutra, dsb). Tujuannya, untuk meminimalisir kontaminasi partikel asing dan mencegah kain sutera berubah menjadi sutera kecewa alias luntur.

Setelah ruang kamar tertata rapi oleh drawer dan rak trolley plastik dari Olymplast, dapur yang rapi juga patut diwujudkan.

Jujur saja, saya sendiri auto malas memasak jika kondisi dapur kotor bin berantakan. Apalagi jika lantainya becek karena tetesan cucian piring. Duh, jadi serasa piket dua kali!

Rak piring RSOK. Photo by @olymplast on Instagram.

Rak piring RSOK dari Olymplast ialah rak peniris piring, mangkuk, dan gelas yang dilengkapi penadah air sehingga memastikan lantai dapur selalu kering. Terlebih, rak ini dilengkapi dengan wadah penyimpanan sendok dan garpu, gantungan telenan, holder handphone, dan tray atas yang bisa digunakan untuk menyimpan toples bumbu maupun stok makanan.

Pernah dengar tidak tentang teori kepuasan paripurna dalam psikologi? Ternyata, hal itu bisa dicapai hanya ketika individu melakukan aktivitas yang minim usaha (effortless), tetapi dengan output maksimal, persis seperti yang ditawarkan rak piring ini.

Dengan harga yang dibanderol sekitar Rp 100 ribuan saja, rak piring ini tentu sangat murah untuk kita yang senang menghemat tenaga, bukan?

Nah, di sela-sela padatnya aktivitas sehari-hari, keluarga kami juga rutin menyempatkan diri untuk bersantai menikmati sinar mentari. Pasalnya, cahaya matahari baik untuk merubah pro-vitamin D yang kita peroleh dari asupan makanan menjadi vitamin D yang memperkokoh tulang kita.

Rumah urban seperti yang saya tinggali bergaya minimalis sehingga area outdoor tidak begitu luas. Beruntungnya, ada kursi lipat OFC Olymplast yang bisa diandalkan. Mau berjemur di sudut berbeda ataupun bercengkrama bersama banyak kawan bukanlah hal mustahil.

Kursi lipat ini dihiasi motif rotan klasik dan kaki kursi anti-slip yang membuatnya nyaman diduduki. Tinggal berdirikan kursi bila dibutuhkan dan lipat kursi ketika usai digunakan. Sangat menghemat ruang dan mendukung motto rumah yang berkelanjutan.

Sejujurnya, Olymplast masih punya segudang perabotan esensial lainnya yang menarik untuk diintip, mulai dari kasur, meja tulis hingga lemari untuk si kecil. Di mana seluruh produk Olymplast ini dijamin 100% ori, 100% gratis ongkir, dan bergaransi 2x24 jam. Wah, terpercaya sekali ya!

Tak heran, Olymplast Juaranya Rapikan Rumah bagi keluarga Indonesia. Saya saja sudah tak sabar meminang beberapa di antaranya!

Rumah Berbuah Faedah

Dalam konsep Ugahari, rumah tidak boleh sembarangan dibuat sebab akan menciderai banyak pihak. Karena itulah, persiapan yang masak dan kepekaan terhadap lingkungan sekitar maupun kehidupan sosial menjadi fondasi terkuatnya.

Setelahnya, kita bertugas untuk mengisi bangunan rumah dengan kebergunaan fungsi perabot melalui konsep esensialisme. Di mana kita sangat terbantu oleh kehadiran Olymplast selaku brand perabotan plastik lokal yang menyediakan perabotan multifungsi lagi tahan lama.

Seperti yang dikatakan arsitek Mande Austriono bahwa rumah berkelanjutan paling tidak menyentuh tiga pilar, yakni sosial, lingkungan, dan ekonomi. Masih ada banyak faedah lain yang dapat kita tuai saat kita meluangkan waktu untuk memaknai kembali sebenar-benarnya rumah.

Apa itu rumah?

Bagi saya, rumah juga adalah perasaan. Tanpa cinta itu hanyalah sebuah bangunan. Saya beruntung tinggal di sini, dikelilingi oleh orang yang saya cintai dan hal-hal indah yang selaras nan berkeadilan.
