    "Going to jail I consider a sacrifice I make for the people of this country. My struggle will continue, wherever I am sent and whatever is done to me. I pledge, and I will not be silenced, I will fight on for freedom and justice and I will never surrender." - Anwar, 10 February 2015. 16 May 2018: Anwar Ibrahim is released from prison and receives a full royal pardon from the King of Malaysia. This was an astonishing turn of events for the former Deputy Prime Minister who was serving a second prison term for sodomy, a charge that Anwar has always refuted. For Mark Trowell QC, who observed the criminal trials of Anwar Ibrahim, the release was "as historic as the release of Nelson Mandela in South Africa." Read about the dramatic twists and turns in the prosecution of Anwar Ibrahim, from when he was first charged with sodomy in September 1998 to his vindication 20 years later. This book covers not only the trials and prosecution Anwar was subjected to, and which led to the guilty verdict and sentence of five years' imprisonment in February 2015, it also recounts the changing political tide sweeping through Malaysia that culminated in his historic release in 2018. Mark Trowell also presents an exclusive interview with Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. In a wide-ranging discussion, held in May 2018, Anwar reveals much about his time in prison, his new relationship with Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and his vision for Malaysia.Cover -- Title -- Copyright -- Contents -- Foreword -- Introduction -- The Release (2015-2018) -- 01 In conversation with Anwar Ibrahim (31 May 2018) -- 02 The final twist -- The Prosecution (2008-2015) -- The Trials: September 2008-January 2012 -- 03 Sodomy I: The first episode -- 04 Sodomy II: Anwar charged again -- 05 The international reaction -- 06 Pre-trial skirmishes and start of trial -- 07 Continuing fight for disclosure during trial -- 08 The affair -- 09 Was it Anwar's DNA? -- 10 Judge says case to answer -- 11 Defence case begins -- prosecution applies to reopen case -- 12 Final submissions -- 13 The acquittal: 9 January 2012 -- 14 The saga continues -- The Final Play: March 2014-February 2015 -- 15 Government wins 13th general election -- 16 Attempts to disqualify prosecutor -- 17 A week of action -- 18 Anwar convicted and sentenced to five years in prison -- 19 Karpal convicted of sedition -- 20 Failure to expunge "homosexual" remark from record -- 21 "A good lawyer dies in the saddle" -- 22 Sedition crackdown to silence dissent -- 23 The final appeal: Federal Court of Malaysia -- 24 The final verdict: 10 February 2015 -- 25 Interview with Anwar Ibrahim (9 July 2014) -- Timeline of events (1998-2018) -- Key players in the prosecution of Anwar Ibrahim -- Acknowledgements -- About the author"Going to jail I consider a sacrifice I make for the people of this country.

    A fiscal needs approach to equalization transfers in a decentralized federation

    No full text
    The author reviews the conceptual basis for fiscal equalization transfers, analyzes the theoretical implications for optimal design of equalization transfers, and suggests quantitative approaches for assessing the fiscal needs of subnational governments and determining their entitlement to transfers. The author illustrates proposed methods using data for local and provincial Canadian governments. The proposed methods could be useful tools, he says, for undertaking systematic objective reviews of aggregate and sectoral public spending in developing countries. The author argues that in a decentralized federation, fiscal inefficiencies and inequities arise because of subnational governments'differing levels of ability to provide comparable public services at comparable tax rates. Fiscal equalization transfers that reduce or eliminate differentials in net fiscal benefits create a rare instance in economics when considerations of equity and efficiency coincide. These transfers must allow for differences in the spending needs and revenues-raising abilities of the various subnational governments. The author argues for a two-tiered approach to equalization. The first tier would be a federal responsibility to equalize the burden of federal taxes. The second tier would be an interprovincial equalization fund to be administered by the Council of Provincial Finance Ministers. It would entail a comprehensive equalization system that takes into account provincial spending needs. The standard of equalization would be negotiated.Public Sector Economics&Finance,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Financial Management,National Governance,Environmental Economics&Policies

    Fiscal decentralization in developing and transition economies: progress, problems, and the promise

    No full text
    The author discusses the revolution in public sector thinking that is transforming the public sectors of developing and transition countries. Countries are reconsidering their fiscal systems and searching for the right balance between central government control and decentralized governance. Political decentralization has advanced in most countries. Subnational expenditures in developing countries as a percentage of total public expenditures have also increased over the past two decades. However, the process is far from complete. In many countries, the central government is still involved in the delivery of local services, local governments have few sources of own-revenues, local governments have limited access to borrowing for capital projects, and the design of intergovernmental transfers does neither address regional fiscal equity nor convey appropriate incentives for fiscal discipline, improved service delivery performance, and accountability to citizens. Decentralized public governance can help realign public sector incentives through greater accountability to citizens, and attenuate the"democracy deficit"caused by globalization and the role of supranational institutions and regimes. However, this requires careful examination of the entire fiscal system. Elements of a comprehensive package of fiscal system reforms would include: (a) Clarifying roles of various levels of government in public service delivery; (b) Reassigning taxing responsibilities to ensure local revenue autonomy, accountability, and efficiency without endangering an internal common market; (c) Designing fiscal transfers to ensure regional fiscal equity and to create an enabling environment for innovative and competitive service delivery; (d) Facilitating responsible credit market access to subnational governments; (e) Designing institutional arrangements for intergovernmental fiscal relations to better coordinate policies; and (f) Aligning operational capacity with the authorizing environment through the"accountability for results"framework of public management.National Governance,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Municipal Financial Management,National Governance,Banks&Banking Reform,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Municipal Financial Management,Environmental Economics&Policies

    Membaca kumpulan puisi Tiga Menguak Takdir, membawa kita menyelami pemikiran dan perasaan Chairil Anwar, Rivai Apin, dan Asrul Sani. Walaupun ketiganya datang dari latar belakang yang berbeda, pemikiran dan perasaan mereka menyatu demi mencapai suatu cita-cita. Seperti yang dikatakan Asrul Sani dalam pendahuluan buku ini, �Perdekatan ini tak berarti menuruti salah satu garis atau garis dari salah seorang dari kami, tapi dalam dalam saling menghargai segi-segi yang dihadapi masing-masing. Garis dasar yang satu, bagi kami apriori, tak usah dipertengkarkan lagi.� Demi mencapai cita-cita yang mereka sebut sebagai �suatu tujuan takdir�, mereka bersatu melupakan perbedaan yang ada pada mereka. Lalu takdir apakah yang sesungguhnya mereka maksud

    Analisis Komparatif Kitab Tarjuman Al-Mustafid dengan Tafsir Anwar At-Tanzil dan Tafsir Jalalain pada Ayat-ayat Sihir

    No full text
    This research presents a comparative analysis between the Tarjuman Al-Mustafid book with Anwar At-Tanzil's commentary, and Jalalain's commentary with a focus only on magic verses starting from Surah Al-Fatihah, Al-Baqarah verse 102, and Al-Falaq. The research method used is a qualitative approach focused on library research with the main data coming from the books of Tarjuman Al-Mustafid, Tafsir Anwar At-Tanzil, and Tafsir Jalalain. The results of the research show that there is quite a big influence from Anwar At-Tanzil's interpretation and Jalalain's interpretation on Tarjuman Al-Mustafid in terms of the systematic writing and meaning of the verses. One important factor in the relationship with the interpretation of Jalalain is Abdurrauf's intellectual connection with Jalaluddin As-Suyuti, the author of the interpretation of Jalalain. Apart from that, Anwar At-Tanzil's tafsir is also an important reference source in writing this tafsir, as stated on the cover of Tarjuman Al-Mustafid's tafsir. In understanding the magic verses, Abdurrauf is more inclined or agrees with Tafsir Jalalain because it is used as a reference, and is influential when providing a more general explanation.Penelitian ini menyajikan sebuah analisis komparatif antara kitab Tarjuman Al-Mustafid dengan tafsir Anwar At-Tanzil, dan tafsir Jalalain dengan fokus hanya pada ayat-ayat sihir yang dimulai dari surat Al-Fatihah, Al-Baqarah ayat 102, dan Al-Falaq. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif yang difokuskan pada penelitian pustaka (library research) dengan data utama yang berasal dari kitab Tarjuman Al-Mustafid, Tafsir Anwar At-Tanzil, dan tafsir Jalalain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pengaruh yang cukup besar dari tafsir Anwar At-Tanzil dan tafsir Jalalain pada Tarjuman Al-Mustafid dari segi sistematika penulisan dan makna ayat. Salah satu faktor penting dalam hubungan dengan tafsir Jalalain adalah keterkaitan intelektual Abdurrauf dengan Jalaluddin As-Suyuti, penulis tafsir Jalalain. Selain itu, tafsir Anwar At-Tanzil juga menjadi sumber referensi penting dalam penulisan tafsir ini, seperti yang tercantum dalam sampul tafsir Tarjuman Al-Mustafid. Dalam memahami ayat-ayat sihir, Abdurrauf lebih condong atau sependapat dengan Tafsir Jalalain karena dijadikan sebagai rujukan, serta berpengaruh ketika memberikan penjelasan yang lebih umum

    Mencari Teater Modern Indonesia Versi Asrul Sani: Penelusuran Pascakolonial

    ABSTRACT Asrul Sani, along with Chairil Anwar and Rivai Apin, may sound familiar and renowned in litera­ ture, in spite of theatre, as one of the major literary figures of Angkatan ’45. Asrul Sani’s name might be known widely by the theatre activists and actors only as a translator. His name is observed because it is often cited in the translated drama text which is selected to be played. Those who are more observant and seriously wanted to explore their ability in acting will also find his name in the elderly book about acting methodology belongs to one of the Russian theatrical figures – again as a translator. Perhaps, we are practically unconcern about why his name is frequently cited as a trans­ lator in dramatic literature and our theatre, because we never seem to have dispute with the practice of translation itself. Therefore, the writing is directed to investigate and discover the substance that become the fundamental of his idea in the translation practice, and biographically, to disclose Asrul Sani’s influence (his consideration) toward the development of Indonesian theatre nowadays. Key words: Indonesian modern theater, postcolonial  ABSTRAK Asrul Sani, sama seperti Chairil Anwar dan Rivai Apin, mungkin terdengar tidak asing dan sangat terkenal dalam bidang sastra, selain teater, sebagai salah satu tokoh sastra uta- ma dari Angkatan ‘45. Nama Asrul Sani mungkin dikenal secara luas oleh para aktivis teater dan para aktor hanya sebagai penerjemah. Namanya diperhatikan karena sering dikutip dalam teks drama terjemahan terpilih untuk dimainkan. Mereka yang lebih jeli dan secara serius ingin mengeksplorasi kemampuan mereka dalam berakting juga akan mendapatkan namanya dalam buku tua tentang metodologi akting milik salah seorang tokoh teater Rusia - juga sebagai penerjemah. Mungkin, secara praktis kita tidak peduli me- ngapa namanya sering disebut sebagai penerjemah dalam literatur drama dan teater kita, karena tampaknya kita tidak pernah melakukan perdebatan dengan praktek penerjemahan itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu, penulisan ini diarahkan untuk menyelidiki dan menemukan substansi yang menjadi dasar idenya dalam praktek penerjemahan, dan secara biografis, untuk mengungkap pengaruh (pertimbangan) Asrul Sani terhadap perkembangan teater di Indonesia saat ini. Kata kunci: Teater modern Indonesia, pascakolonial</jats:p
