written by Chief Editor

indonesiaJakarta — More than just tears of joy, Veronica Tan, the Deputy Minister of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (Wamen PPPA), witnessed a heartwarming scene during her inspection of the free nutritious meals (RAS) program for pregnant women, lactating mothers, and toddlers. A grandmother, caring for four or five grandchildren, was overwhelmed with gratitude as she saw them receiving the meals.

"Ibu-ibu were incredibly happy, and there was even a grandmother who cried tears of joy because she has four or five grandchildren who received free nutritious meals," Veronica recounted after visiting Posyandu Dahlia in Ciracas, East Jakarta, on Friday (10/1/2025).

"This grandmother was only praying to God for her children to be healthy and to find any work to support her family," she added.

During her visit, Veronica emphasized the importance of family planning education and balanced nutrition to achieve Indonesia‘s goal of becoming a developed country by 2045. She also stressed the need to educate parents about proper nutrition for their children from an early age to prevent stunting.

"Family planning education is crucial to ensure we have quality children. Children of good quality are well-taken care of, fed properly, and educated at high levels – key factors in achieving President Joko Widodo’s vision for Indonesia in 2045," Veronica explained.

She further stated that the free nutritious meal program is a critical initiative to combat stunting, starting from pregnancy. This program aims to ensure that children receive adequate nutrition during their first 1,000 days of life.

"Mothers-to-be sometimes forget that their wombs contain a baby who needs nutritious food. Whether they like it or not, children aged under five must be a priority. We must empower and educate mothers-to-be on providing healthy meals, a balanced diet of carbohydrates and protein, to ensure their children receive the best possible nutrition."

KPK Uncovers Flash Drive in Child’s Room, Disputing Claims of Hasto Ownership

KPK Seizes Flash Drive During Raid on PDIP Secretary-General Hasto Kristiyanto‘s House; PDIP Denies Involvement

In a significant development, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has reportedly seized a flash drive during a raid on the residence of PDIP Secretary-General, Hasto Kristiyanto. This seizure is part of an ongoing investigation into a bribery case involving PDIP politician, Harun Masiku. The PDIP’s legal team has since responded, claiming that the flash drive was found in the room of Mr. Kristiyanto’s child.

Johanes Tobing, a part of PDIP’s legal team, revealed this information at a press conference held at the PDIP Central Executive Board’s office in Jakarta. He stated, "The flash drive was discovered on the second floor in the room of Mr. Kristiyanto’s child." However, Mr. Tobing clarified that the child did not own the flash drive, and the child was not aware of its presence. Furthermore, the PDIP’s legal team asserted that the seized flash drive did not belong to Mr. Kristiyanto either, as confirmed by the latter.

In addition to the flash drive, the KPK also confiscated a small notebook during the raid. Mr. Tobing revealed that this notebook belonged to one of Mr. Kristiyanto’s staff, Kusnadi, and contained business-related notes he had previously shared with his brother.

PDIP had previously expressed puzzlement over the KPK using a suitcase to transport the seized items, despite only confiscating the flash drive and notebook. In response, Asep Guntur Rahayu, the Director of Investigations at KPK, explained that the suitcase was used for safekeeping, asserting that it ensured the safety and protection of the seized items. He further explained that using a suitcase was a more secure method than using plastic bags, which could potentially lead to items being misplaced or damaged.

As the investigation continues, both KPK and PDIP have stressed the importance of maintaining transparency and a fair process. This high-profile case is being closely watched by the public and political observers alike.

Grobogan Sexual Abuse: Teen’s Lawyer Alleges Corrupt Tactic of Bribes and Grades for Silence

Article:

Grobogan, Central Java – The legal representative of a victim, a 15-year-old student of a local middle school (SMP), has alleged that the educator accused of sexual misconduct used threats and bribes, including monetary gifts and improved grades, to exploit the teenager over a period of two years.

"The first incident occurred when he was in the 8th grade," said the victim’s lawyer, Hernawan, in an interview with detikJateng on Thursday (9/1/2025). The lawyer went on to state that the victim had been subjected to these abusive acts approximately 10 times within this two-year span.

The victim’s current conditions are described as traumatic, with the student having changed schools and enrolled in a pesantren after the incidents. "He’s been in a state of shock, like he’s lost and confused," Hernawan stated. "He didn’t continue his education at the same school, he’s traumatized. That’s been ongoing for about six months now, since the incident where he was beaten."

The perpetrator, a male teacher at the school, is said to have lured the victim with promises of financial rewards and improved grades. "The teacher promised him money, clothes, and improvements in his grades if he complied with his demands," said Hernawan.

In addition to sexual abuse, the victim was also allegedly assaulted by the teacher’s father while he was alone in the teacher’s residence. "The victim was caught and beaten by the teacher’s father," Hernawan said, describing the incident when the teacher’s father entered the house after hearing noises.

Previously, rumors circulated about a female teacher and a student engaging in sexual misconduct, leading to investigations by local authorities. The Grobogan Police are still looking into these allegations.

The Chief of the Women and Children Protection Division (PPA) at the Grobogan Police, Ipda Yusuf Al Hakim, confirmed that the police are gathering information related to the incident. "The Grobogan Police will initiate a legal process and look for data from the respective district police stations because the case involves a minor," Yusuf said.

Yusuf also mentioned that although no official report has been filed yet, as the family has hired a lawyer, the victim’s legal representative is expected to file a report soon. The police will continue to investigate the validity of the information provided.

Nurturing Picky Eaters: Strategies for Children in Free Nutritious Meal Programs

Free School Meal Program: Not Every Child is a Fan, Say Testimonials

The free school meal program (Program Makan Bergizi Gratis – PMBG) has begun at schools across the country, aiming to provide students with nutritious food. However, not all children are enthused about the meals being served, according to testimonials circulating on social media.

Some children reportedly refuse to finish their meals, while others pick out the vegetables. Dr. dr. Tan Shot Yen, M.Hum, a dietitian, shared that various factors can contribute to a child becoming fussy about food, including habits learned at home and health conditions.

Dr. Tan acknowledged that it’s challenging for the PMBG to cater to the diverse tastes of all children. She advised responsible parties to address this issue creatively. "There are many instances of children not eating their vegetables, leaving them behind," Dr. Tan said during a press briefing by the Indonesian Medical Association (Ikatan Dokter Indonesia – IDI) on Wednesday (8/1/2025). "We need initiatives, but not by turning the vegetables into snacks to entice kids."

She suggested that dietitians involved in the program should explore various vegetable combinations to make them more appealing to children. Dr. Tan also emphasized the importance of post-program evaluation and dialogue with children who leave their food uneaten. "We should engage them in conversation to understand the real problem," she added.

Health issues can also lead to picky eating. Dr. Tan cited dental problems like tooth decay, which is prevalent among children. She explained that poor dental health can negatively impact a child’s eating habits and overall health. "We need to address this comprehensively; the solution can’t just be adjusting the food to children’s liking, or we’ll end up with meals full of deep-fried snacks," she warned.

Title: Pakistani Sisters Arrested After Burning Father to Death as Revenge for Incest

In a shocking turn of events, two young sisters in Pakistan have been arrested for setting their father ablaze, ultimately leading to his death. Their motive? A violent form of retribution for their father’s repeated acts of incest.

The incident unfolded in the city of Gujranwala, Punjab, on New Year’s Day. The father was severely injured in the attack and later succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital on Tuesday. According to AFP, the sisters confessed to planning their father’s gruesome murder together, seeking a "permanent solution" to their grim situation.

Rizwan Tariq, a senior police official in Gujranwala, revealed chilling details to AFP, "The sisters took petrol from a motorcycle and set their father on fire while he was asleep."

The sisters, who are stepsisters and cousins, accused their father of repeatedly sexually assaulting the elder sister over the past year. The man had also attempted to abuse the younger sister on two occasions. Shockingly, their mother, who was married to the same man, was aware of the abuse but not of the sisters’ murderous plot.

To protect the sisters’ identities, AFP has chosen not to reveal the father’s name. One sister has been apprehended, while the other remains at large. The mother of the victims is also being questioned by authorities.

Tariq confirmed that the trials will commence shortly once the investigations are complete, stating, "We hope to bring them to court within a few days."

Headline: Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) Detected in Indonesia: Minister Urges Calm as Cases Involve Children

Subhead: Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin assures public that hMPV is a known virus with symptoms similar to the flu, not to cause alarm.

Byline: Health Desk | January 6, 2025

Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin urged the public to stay calm, stating, "hMPV is not a new virus, and it’s been known in the medical community for a long time. It’s similar to the flu and our immune system is already equipped to respond to it."

The Minister revealed that hMPV has been present in Indonesia for years and is not as severe or dangerous as previously thought. "hMPV is not a deadly virus," he explained, "It causes symptoms like cough, fever, runny nose, and shortness of breath, similar to the common flu. Most people recover on their own without special treatment."

Preventive Measures

Both Minister Sadikin and Dicky emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and adhering to hygiene protocols, such as getting enough rest, regularly washing hands, wearing a mask when unwell, and seeking medical attention if symptoms worsen.

The Minister concluded, "It’s crucial to stay calm and vigilant. By following the 3M health protocols – masking, maintaining distance, and washing hands – we can manage this virus, just as we have with COVID-19."
