Wistle blower: Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji. JPThe House of Representatives Commission III on Law on Human Rights plans to establish a working committee to follow up on the recent arrest of former National Police chief detective Comr. Gen. Susno Duadji.

“Today, we are going to establish the names for the committee membership, while tomorrow we will schedule our agenda,” one of the commission deputy chairmen, Fahri Hamzah from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), told reporters after an internal meeting at the House in Senayan, South Jakarta, on Tuesday.

One of the commission members, Ahmad Yani from the United Development Party (PPP), said that the first person that the committee would summon was National Police Chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri.

“Some of the commission members will also leave to visit the National Police headquarters today,” he said.

Susno was arrested on Tuesday night for an alleged fraud involving Riau-based arowana fishing company.

Ironically, it is Susno who revealed about the fraud to the public's eyes in the first place.
Susno, who lost his chief detective post after a presidential team uncovered a plot to frame two Corruption Eradication Commission leaders last November, has come under media spotlight after he struck back by unveiling case brokering involving a tax official, police officers and state prosecutors.

A suspect in the case said Susno was part of the case brokering mafia himself.

"The markets are reacting to the news today in the context of other things they've been seeing and reading in recent weeks, and that's that the economy does appear to have hit a bottom," said David Resler, chief economist at Nomura Securities. Investors reacted positively to earnings reports from Ford, Ebay, AT&T and higher sales of Apple's new iPhone. Resler says the positive earnings give a much needed confidence boost for the struggling U.S. economy. "I think...

World Bank raises China growth forecasts

The World Bank boosted its growth forecast for China and said rising inflation should level off but warned Beijing needs to make the economy less reliant on trade to sustain its expansion. In a quarterly update released Wednesday, the bank said China's politically contentious trade surplus is likely to swell further in 2011, though it cautioned that weak global demand means Beijing shouldn't rely so heavily on exports. The bank raised its 2010 growth outlook from 9.5 percent to 10 percent and its growth outlook for next year from 8.5 percent to 8.7 percent. Growth eased in the third quarter to 9.6 percent from 10.3 percent the previous quarter as Beijing tried to steer it to a more manageable level. "Growth is likely to moderate somewhat more in 2011 and the medium term to a still robust pace," the bank said. Despite a largely upbeat outlook, the bank said Beijing needs to do more to boost domestic demand and cut reliance on exports and investment. Comm...
