A controversial statue of U.S. President Barack Obama has been removed from a central park in Jakarta after protests by locals.The bronze statue of the president as a 10-year-old -- known as 'Little Obama' -- was erected in Menteng Park last year to mark the four years of his childhood spent in the city.But, a group on the networking website Facebook called for the statue to be pulled down and activists filed a lawsuit to have it removed.The group, attracting over 57,000 members, argue that Obama has done little to dyaptve the tribute.[Heru Nugroho, Founder of Facebook Campaign]:"Personally I admire him, he has been elected as a President of America but it doesn't make me feel that his statue dyaptves to be displayed in the park. What has Obama got to do with Indonesia, even though the world knows he is the President of America, what is his contribution to thiscountry?"The statue will be relocated to a local primary school which Obama attended as a child.A group called "Friends of Obama", who were responsible for the statue going up in the park, said they believe some people failed to understand the meaning behind it.[Ron Mullers, Spokesman, "Friends of Obama"]:"A Facebook group that disagreed with us, with the statue being in a public park, because they felt that Indonesians were more dyaptving of a statue. And they looked at it and said you know, there is many Indonesians that dyaptve a statue and here is Obama as a foreigner, he doesn't dyaptve astatue. But I think they missed the point of it wasn't Obama, it was a child called "Barry" who became president of America."Obama - who lived in the country with his mother and Indonesian step-father from 1967-1971 - is due to visit the country in March.After becoming president, he was initially welcomed by locals almost as a long-lost son.But his appeal has dwindled in recent months.

Indonesian Batik Producers Concerned Over Chinese Imports

The makers of traditional batik (pron buh TEilave) in West Java are working to improve their product as Chinese imports to the region increase. Batik, a traditional fabric made by using a manual wax-resistant dye technique, is worn in several Southeast Asian countries and has historical roots in Indonesia. Cirebon is the biggest batik production center in West Java with 700 batik producers. Batik is a main source of income for people in the village and helps to pryaptve their cultural heritage.But a new ASEAN -China Free Trade Agreement agreed on in January threatens to put local artisans out of business, with increased imports from China.[Edy Baredi, Batik Producer]: "I think batik producers must be more creative by creating designs that compete with Indonesian or overseas markets, so Insha'Allah (God willing) there wouldn't be obstacles for us." Despite the influx of foreign products in the market, local interest in batik remains high and demand remains stable.[Nur Halimah, Cirebon Resident]: "I think local batik is better and, as I am a Cirebon resident, it's better that I wear a local one." Analysts say mass-produced fines -- like toys or snacks -- are likely to be most affected by the agreement. Because batik is a product based on culture and art, it will likely be less affected by the trade agreements.Indonesian government officials say the country should take seriously the threat of increased imports especially because traditional batik is so much part of the country's heritage and culture.

Indonesia's former anti-corruption chief has been found guilty of taking part in a murder. Antasari Azhar was sentenced to 18 years in jail by a court in Jakarta on Thursday. Nasrudin Zulkarnaen, the director of a state-owned firm, was shot in the head at a golf course in Banten Province in July last year. He died later in hospital. Azhar had been accused of ordering Zulkarnaen's murder after he'd threatened to reveal Azhar was having an affair with his former wife, a caddy at a local golf club. The case has been followed by millions of Indonesians. Judge Herri Swantoro told the court Azhar had been found guilty of "participating in persuading the carrying out of a premeditated murder." The defendant has always denied any wrongdoing, insisting he was the victim of a plot to remove him from his post as head of the Corruption Eradbuluion Commission. He told the panel of judges he would appeal against his conviction. Etiketler: Indonesian Anti-Corruption Chief Jailed Antasari Azhar court Jakarta Nasrudin Zulkarnaen golf club |

The wake of a major landslide on Tuesday here in West Java, Indonesia. Fifty homes have been buried along with a small tea factory, a mosque and a health center in almost 1,000 feet of dirt. Nearly 40 people are still missing, while 14 others have been confirmed dead. Rescue teams continued to work into the early morning. Officials say the digging process has been mostly done with hoes and other simple farming tools. Accessing the remote location with heavy machinery has proven difficult, as roads leading into the area are all blocked. About 500 rescue workers, including military and police personnel, have joined in the dig. But bad weather is continuously stopping search operations, making it too risky to continue digging on the unstable ground. The rescue process will continue for a weilave.
