Kupang, Jubi – Asia Pasific Learders Malaria Alliance (APLMA) noted that Papua and West Papua Provinces is the largest contributor of malaria disease in Indonesia besides East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and Maluku provinces.

“From 80 percent of malaria cases in Indonesia, there are four provinces contribute the largest. Those are Papua Province, NTT, Maluku and West Papua,” said APLMA Chairman dr Andi Nafsiah Walinono Mboi in Kupang, Monday (May 15).

Nafsiah Mboi, a former health minister explained that there are 4 stages of malaria which is categorized as red as the highest, then yellow, green, to white which means free of malaria.

In NTT, there are six districts of highly endemic transmission of mosquito-borne diseases; those are Sumba Island, Lembata District, Ende, and Belu.

“There is no one area here which malaria endemic level is on white or zero or completely free of malaria,” said former Minister of Health of the period 2012-2014.

According to Mboi who is also a delegate of the country or Head of Asia Pacific Government, the issue of malaria disease has now become a global concern and seizes the attention of various countries around the world.

She said there are at least 21 countries in Asia Pacific that have endemic on malaria.

“Of the 21 countries, the three largest contributing countries in Asia Pacific are India, Indonesia and Myanmar,” she said.

From 2000 to 2015 the world countries has been agreed to unite to reduce the number of morbidity or death due to malaria, and has been reduced to 75 percent.

However, she continued, the pattern of treatment is only to control so once it stopped, the malaria is out of control.(*)

2) NU Holds Seminar on Disbanding HTI in Papua

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) is working with Papua's Religious Affairs Ministry Office to hold a seminar on the disbandment of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) in Jayapura. The seminar is titled 'The disbandment of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) for Papua's Peaceful Land'.

Papua police chief Insp. Gen. Boy R Amar is one of the speakers in the seminar.

The Hizbuth Tahrir was founded in 1953 by Taqiuddin al-Nabhanidi in Jerusalem. The ideology is to establishment the Islamic Khilafah (Caliphate), or an Islamic state that contradicts the democratic system.

The organization spawned Islamic countries. They attempted to overthrow the government of Jordan that led to the banishment of the organization.

"HT also tried to develop in other countries like Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Egypt and Malaysia. But it is now prohibited because of their dangerous ideas," said Ridwan Al-Makassary.

"In multicultural nations like Britain, Australia and Canada, the group is allowed to exist. But if they break rules, they will be prosecuted".

The group entered Indonesia in the 1980s, preaching at university students and mosque-goers while distributing pamphlets of the caliphate sermon.

HTI came to Papua in the 2000s following the fall of Suharto, who strictly prohibited the growth of Islamic organizations. HTI has since spread the caliphate ideology and embedded doctrines to its members in Papua.

Lately, locals have started voicing their dislike towards the group due to its opposition to the state ideology Pancasila.

"HTI has been staging ideological treason by indoctrinating its members to rise against the state. With an ambiguous strategy, they hold religious events to conceal they fight against the state, giving false understanding. They're quire sleek," said Ridwan.

Meahwile, the police chief said HTI is spreading an ideology that contradicts the Pancasila and the state constitution. The government, Amar said, must use eloquent ways to disband them.

"Not by force but with policy. There are laws regulating the disbandment of an organization," he said.
