How to Boost Men's Sexual Ability

Most men would do their very best to boost their sexual ability to satisfy women, among others by increasing the size of their Penis.

In Indonesia, or should I say in Jakarta and vicinity, there is a woman called Ma Erot who live in Sukabumi area, West Java, who is very popular for her ability to increase the size of men's Penis.

In order to provide a bird's eye view on this matter, I will quote an article in Kompas below. Happy reading.

Crazy Things Men Do to Boost Penis Size
Kamis, 4 Februari 2010 | 13:47 WIB

KOMPAS.com — If women often feel insecure about their small breast size, then a lot of men are equally uneasy about the size of their penis. Some men are so desperate to improve this shortcoming so that they could satisfy their partner, which is the same reason why women boost their breasts.


Unfortunately, some men brashly go to masseurs or shamans reportedly able to enlarge their penis size. Prof. Dr. Wimpie Pangkahila, SpAnd, FAAC, recounts his encounter with five strapping men who'd just returned from a trip out of town. All of them came with the same complaint regarding their penes.                                                                                               


"They had their penes injected with liquid silicon. They got bigger, but they were horrible beyond recognition"

said Prof. Wimpie in a talkshow themed "Sex and Pleasurable Life Quality Despite Aging", at Bentara Budaya, Jakarta, Monday.

This method is definitely not recommended. But for the sake of better performance, these men ignored the risk. Here are a few other examples of odd methods to enlarge or extend one's penis:


1. Injecting the penis with liquid silicon or colagent
2. Pumping the penis with a tube-pump
3. Soaking the penis in tea, then massaging it
4. Soaking the penis in a masseur's special 'elixir'
5. Going to masseuse/shamans like Mak Erot for a massage
6. Using a magic stick from Kalimantan (usually dubbed Ali stick, which is actually the eurycoma 
    longifolia root)
7. Consuming medicines to enlarge the penis


Never assume that rustic hill-billies will be the only ones who do those things as well-off and educated men are also tempted to try them.


"None of those methods are right. Some men who came too late after using those methods or tools had had to be amputated because their penes had become rock-hard."


Well, ladies, please remind your partners to be confident. Size isn't the only factor in heating up your relationship. There are other ways to Rome. (C2-10/C17-09)

Singer Arrested, Politician Released

The Jakarta Police has named Sammy (27), Singer in one of Indonesia's leading Pop Band Kerispatih, a Suspect in a Drug Case last Wednesday, after arresting him at his boarding house the night before.

However, Regina Andriani (27), the lady who was with Sammy that night, was released because the Police cannot prove that she also used drugs.

Lately, the media found out that Regina is the Vice Secretary of the Democrat Party (President SBY's party) in Bogor, West Java.

For detailed media reports, please click here and here.

I hope that this case will be investigated thoroughly, and those who were proven wrong shall be prosecuted based on the Anti-Narcotics Law, free from any political intervention.

Removal of Obama Statue

After more than 56,000 people in Facebook objected the placement of a statue of young Barack Obama,  Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo finally agreed to remove said statue from its present location at Menteng Park to Obama's former elementary school not far away at Jalan Besuki.                                                     

I hope that in the future the government would be extra careful whenever it wants to give honor to foreigners especially if he/she never made significant contribution for Indonesia.  

Please find below an article that I have quoted from The Jakarta Globe.

Jakarta Obama Statue to Make A Move After Fauzi Bows   
                                                        
Bowing to public protests, Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo on Friday said a statue of Barack Obama as a child would be relocated from Menteng Park to a nearby elementary school where the American president once studied.

The almost life-size statue of the young Obama was unveiled in Central Jakarta in December, but immediately drew criticism from people who said there were more appropriate national figures to be celebrated in bronze.

A Facebook group, which has attracted tens of thousands of members, has been demanding the statue’s removal.

“I approve the people’s initiative to move the statue,” Fauzi said, adding that the city would relocate the statue as soon as possible to the school on Jalan Besuki in Menteng.

Obama, who spent four years in Jakarta as a child with his mother and Indonesian stepfather, is expected to visit his old school during his trip to the country next month.

“It will be ready,” Fauzi said of the school and the statue.

The work of sculptor Edi Chaniago, the statue depicts a 10-year-old Obama smiling and holding a butterfly in his outstretched hand. Obama went to the Besuki public elementary school in Menteng before he returned to the United States in 1971.

Jakarta-based US businessman Ron Mullers, chairman of the nonprofit Friends of Obama Foundation, which had the statue built at a cost of Rp 100 million ($10,700), told the Jakarta Globe that he was not upset by the decision.

“If the city administration said so, then we are up for it. They were the ones who approved the location in the first place,” he said.

The Facebook group Turunkan Patung Barack Obama di Taman Menteng (Take Down the Barack Obama Statue in Menteng Park), which currently has 56,541 members, filed a legal action against the city administration on Jan. 22 after they received no response to their request for a formal hearing with the governor and the City Council.

Abdul Hadi Lubis, the group’s legal counsel, told the Globe that the group wanted action more than words.

“We will follow through with the lawsuit because it has been filed,” Abdul said, adding that the group may yet decide to withdraw the suit once the statue had actually been relocated.

Heru Nugroho, the founder of the Facebook campaign to remove the statue, praised the decision, according to The Associated Press.

“It’s good — a little too late,” he said. “But I appreciate it.”

Religious Tolerance in Indonesia

According to the laws in Indonesia, every citizen has a guaranteed right to choose one of the six official religions i.e. Islam, Protestant, Catholic, Hindu, Buddha and Confucius (click here).

Based on this legal ground and the tolerance among people of different religions, Indonesia has been able to maintain existence as a unitary state for more than 64 years since independence on 17 August 1945.

Actually, the inter-religion relationship cannot be described as perfect harmony all the time, because several conflicts have occurred in the past like in the island province of Maluku and Poso in the early and mid 2000s. As a matter fact smaller conflicts still exists until now.

In this regards, I would like to quote an article in the The Jakarta Post.

Is religious tolerance a success in Indonesia? No, it’s not!

Maya Safira Muchtar, Jakarta | Wed, 02/03/2010 10:36 AM | Opinion

After reading several issues of The Jakarta Post these last few days, I have been feeling very disturbed. There have been reports on churches and a pastor’s home being burned allegedly by Muslim mobs.

Yet the police were unable to arrest anybody on the pretext that it was done by a mob of people. The mobs had an excuse for burning the churches, on the pretext that the Christians did not have any permits to build the churches (the Jan. 25, 2010 issue).

Amazingly, we have heard nothing of this news in the local papers. It is no surprise then that Indonesia wins praise from the United States for religious tolerance.

Not only that, some local institutions believe that ethnic and religious issues are no longer the main conflict (Jan. 27, 2010 issue).

They say that the main issues are now politics, natural resources and corruption. That is why the government still thinks that there is no urgency to deal with issues of religious tolerance.

However, what is being overlooked and undermined is that religious conflicts and radicalism are potential weapons to be used to obtain political and economic gain. We have seen this happening in Pakistan and Somalia.

It is reported in the Jan. 27 issue that religious radicalism affects education. I myself know that there is a state high school in Yogyakarta where the students would like to have separate canteens based on their religion.

Their student activities are based on fanatic Islamic values which prohibit cultural and musical performances, notably forbidding the teaching of Javanese dance. So I find myself very disturbed when they say that Indonesia is praised for its religious tolerance. Forgive me for saying this, but maybe they have not invited nor even talked to the right people about it.

Sometimes, I begin to wonder if these people who insist on giving statements that there is no problem with religious tolerance in Indonesia are practicing the Law of Attraction. Beware; most people confuse the Law of Attraction and positive thinking.

The so-called positive thinkers tend to brush off negative topics. However, I am curious why they love to dwell on poverty or corruption issues. I believe because it has to do directly with money. Therefore, it draws a lot of attention from the public.

I, myself, am a Muslim who is not so much in favor of radicalism or fanatics. I believe that only those who do not have a firm faith in their beliefs would be either a radical or a fanatic. I am not saying Muslim radicals are solely to blame, but radical Christians, radical Buddhists, radical Hindus, and radical believers in Confucius are too. Fanatics and radicals are those who belittle others’ faiths. Not being able to see the majesty of Allah (in Arabic terms, not Muslim nor Christian terms) in each and every one of them.

Therefore, they can never appreciate one another. Sadanand Dhume gives a very clear picture in his book My Friend the Fanatic of the growth of radicalism in Indonesia and it being a threat to the state ideology Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution and the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).

So the question now is… what is the government doing? What is the law enforcement doing? All are busy with the Bank Century case? What about the other pressing problems that affect religious freedom in this country?

Even if it is true that the churches did not have any permit to build, does it mean that the people of Indonesia can form mobs to destroy them? So what use is the law? Do they still think that religious conflicts are not of great concern? Why can’t we learn from Somalia and Pakistan?

Like Prof. Jeffrey Winters once said in an interview on national television, “Indonesians lack a sense of urgency”. Let us all take this matter seriously and treat it as urgent.

Borobudur Visitors Must Wear Sarongs

The Borobudur Temple in Central Java is an ancient Buddhist temple that was built during the golden era of the Buddhist kingdom in the eight century, and until now it is a holy place used for religious prayers, rituals and ceremony.

Considering this fact, the government plan to ask visitors to Borobudur to wear sarong. Please find below an article from Kompas.

Indonesia Asks Borobudur Visitors to Don A Sarong
Kamis, 4 Februari 2010 | 08:10 WIB

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Visitors flashing their knees at Indonesia’s number-one tourist attraction, the ancient Borobudur temple, will have to wear government-issue sarongs under a new plan to protect the site’s dignity. Officials said tourists wearing shorts and mini-skirts would be politely asked to don a sarong for the duration of their visit to the Buddhist temple, erected between 750 and 850 on a verdant plain in central Java.

“When visitors enter a sacred place, they must show their respect. They shouldn’t wear shorts or mini-skirts because it’s impolite,” temple manager Purnomo Siswo Prasetyo told AFP on Wednesday.

“It’s like in Bali — when tourists visit temples there, they also have to do the same thing,” he said, adding that the rules were put in place after locals and visitors complained about the attire of some tourists. During a month-long trial, tourists will also be required to wear rubber sandals to avoid damaging the temple’s intricately carved stonework, he said.

The optimal footwear to ensure as little damage as possible is done to the temple’s volcanic stones is made of woven dried pandanus leaves, he said. Such items were not yet available but they had been ordered from the local community and could soon be added to the list of things inappropriately attired tourists will have to wear.

No fee would be charged for use of the sarongs and sandals during the trial, but Prasetyo said he could not rule out a charge at a later date. “We hope this will open up job opportunities for surrounding communities and lead to economic growth,” he said.

Some 2.5 million tourists visited Borobudur last year. Indonesians pay 15,000 rupiah (1.60 dollars) to enter the compound while foreigners are charged 15 dollars.

As Islam spread through Java after the 12th century, the “temple mountain” of Borobudur was abandoned and lost to the jungle. It was “rediscovered” in 1814 by English colonial trader Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles and was restored with the help of UNESCO in the 1970s.

BCA ATM Skimming

The Police arrested a supervisor of Bank Central Asia (BCA) for alleged involvement in the skimming of ATMs in Bali and Jakarta last January. That's what Kompas reported.

Considering that BCA is one of Indonesia's largest bank with ATMs all over the country, I hope that the investigation of this case can be concluded soon and those responsible should be prosecuted, tried in court and punished accordingly, so that customers can have peace of mind.

BCA Supervisor Arrested in Connection with ATM Skimming

Kamis, 4 Februari 2010 | 09:33 WIB

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — PT Bank Central Asia (BCA) admits that one of its employees has been detained at the National Police Headquarters for involvement in ATM skimming. The BCA deputy managing director, Jahja Setiaatmadja, stated that the BCA perpetrator was a supervisor in a branch in Bandung.
"We've investigated further, and one supervisor on credit cards in Bandung has been arrested by the police or in the National Police HQ," he admitted through SMS, Jakarta, Wednesday evening.                                                                                      
He explained that the perpetrator has been arrested  for card cloning and PIN theft on four victimized customers. On top of that, according to him, the perpetrator is still being examined by the police for any connection with ATM skimming networks in Bali.

"As far as the info we've got, the perpetrator still hasn't been determined to be linked with the notorious ATM skimming in Bali, because the police investigation is still ongoing."

Jahja admits that so far the police has been cooperative with the company to resolve the ATM skimming cases. BCA continues to coordinate with National Police chief detective, Comr. Gen. Ito Sumardi and spokesman, Insp. Gen. Edward Aritonang, regarding the case or arrest of this perpetrator.

"We've confirmed this with the chief detective, who's been a great support for us."

Lawsuit against KPK

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is famous for its strong commitment to fight corruption in Indonesia.

But recently, the KPK has to taste the bitterness of its own medicine when one of the alleged corrupter plan to file a lawsuit against it. Please find an article in The Jakarta Post below.

Considering that the Indonesian judicial system adopted the principle of Presumption of Innocence, I hope that KPK and other law enforcement agencies would always respect the rights of any suspects whose crimes have never been decided by the Court of Law.

Graft suspect to file pretrial lawsuit against KPK

The Jakarta Post | Wed, 02/03/2010 9:14 AM | National

Former minister Bachtiar Chamsyah, who has been named a suspect in a graft case by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), plans to file a pretrial lawsuit against the antigraft body, one of his lawyer said Wednesday.

Lawyer Fauzie Yusuf Hasibuan told tempointeraktif.com that the KPK had denied his client his constitutional rights by announcing that his client had been named a suspect to the media without officially telling Bachtiar.

Fauzie also claimed that the KPK had never summoned Bachtiar over the graft case prior to the announcement.

Bachtiar was named a suspect Monday in a graft case involving the procurement of sewing machines and the import of cattle during his term. The KPK said it might announce other suspects in the case.

Bachtiar was alleged to have directly appointed certain companies in the procurement of sewing machines and the import of cattle – intended for distribution to the poor under the government’s poverty eradication program between 2004 and 2006. He also allegedly inflated the price of the goods.

Separately, KPK spokesman Johan Budi said that the anticorruption body would be ready to face the lawsuit. “[They] should go ahead [with the suit]. They have the right to do so,” he said.
