Marijuana -
|
|
Indonesian Coriander?
|
|
 |
| Jakarta Post: Indonesian
Vice President Jusuf Kalla has adopted a "soft approach" on marijuana use,
telling the English language Jakarta Post, "it's alright to use it as a
food seasoning, but it should not be fully legalized," The Vice President's
comments were apparently prompted by reports commissioned by Indonesian
government agencies tasked with narcotics control that suggested a review
of criminal penalties for the recreational use of marijuana. The illicit
weed is a popular additive in cooking in parts of the Indonesian island
of Sumatra with one restaurateur commenting to Jakarta Post "marijuana
is available in any Acehnese kitchen just like coriander. Marijuana is
a widely accepted cooking spice there." |

Indonesian Aircraft Ban
|
|
|
| Bali Discovery: The
European Union has officially banned all Indonesia registered aircraft
from landing at airports of their 27-member countries. While no Indonesian
air carrier currently operates a schedule to Europe rendering the injunction
to some degree moot, the prohibition, set to take effect from July 6, 2007.
Based on recommendations of the European Union Air Safety Committee, the
prohibition represents a wholesale condemnation of Indonesian civil aviation
for failing to meet International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) safety
standards. The European Community sanction follows an April 2007 U.S. warning
issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) advising its nationals
to arrive at Indonesian gateways on foreign air carriers and avoid all
Indonesian domestic flights. |

"Oh No"
|
|
| On hearing the catastrophic news,
friend Michael who is staying Bali generously offered to donate A$100 to
help replace the instrument. Then mum Nancy, currently staying at the KHO,
piped up and offered another A$200. |
| With that we were able to buy a new
29 inch Toshiba |
|
| Television set. Michael who runs
a Tv business in Melbourne, chose the set for it's picture quality and
durability. The KHO would like to thank Michael and Nancy for this kind
offering. |
