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.

China, the US, Japan, South Korea and Russia had been negotiating since 2003 to persuade Pyongyang to dismantle the program in exchange for aid and other concessions. The North pulled out of the talks about two years ago after being censured for launching a long-range rocket. It has indicated a willingness in recent months to return to the table.

Dangdut divorcees to reinvigorate scene

The Jakarta Post | Thu, 07/21/2011 9:47 PM JAKARTA: Wanting to reinvigorate dangdut, Anang Hermansyah has added some color to the genre by forming Tiga Kembang (Three Flowers), a trio of divorced dangdut singers. He wants dangdut to become the music of Indonesia all over again, he said. Cici Paramida, Ikke Nurjanah and Kirstina were Anang’s picks for the dangdut group. But, wanting such huge names, how did he make this dangdut supergroup happen? “I was hanging out with my friend Irvan Nat. Irvan said, ‘this song Goyang Sayang would be great if it was sung by those three, can this be arranged?’ Then Irvan Nat called each of them,” Anang said as reported by kapanlagi.com. But the song was not written for Tiga Kembang but for Krisdayanti and Siti. Because the latter project ended up not happening, the song was given to Tiga Kembang. Anang said Goyang Sayang was filled with nuance, the rhythm of the song upbeat and fresh. “I witnessed the development of dangdut and how it beca...
