DARI K AMI

Pembaca yang budiman,

Dalam lima tahun terakhir, terjadi “gonjang-ganjing” dalam industri pertambangan kita. Pemicunya adalah larangan ekspor mineral men-tah paling lambat lima tahun sejak UU No. 4 Tahun 2009 tentang Minerba disahkan, atau 12 Januari 2014. Mengikuti UU tersebut, peru-sahaan tambang wajib membangun pabrik pengolahan (smelter). Intinya, Indonesia tidak lagi berjualan mineral mentah.

UU tersebut dimaksudkan terutama untuk meningkatkan penerimaan negara dan memberikan nilai tambah dalam bentuk lapangan kerja dan penyediaan bahan baku bagi industri dalam negeri (industri hilir). Tak syak, semangat yang memayungi UU Minerba adalah nasionalisme untuk menggantikan UU No.11 Tahun 1967 tentang Ketentuan-ketentuan Pokok Pertambangan.

UU No. 11 Tahun 1967 itu dinilai menempatkan negara dalam posisi yang lemah. Kini, sudah saatnya negara dan korporasi tambang berdiri sama tinggi. Yang jadi masalah, menurut sejumlah pengamat tambang, aturan tersebut kurang memperhatikan kesulitan yang bakal dialami perusahaan tambang.

Setelah tiga tahun UU Minerba dicanangkan, kegiatan pengolahan dan pemurnian di dalam negeri belum juga menunjukkan hasil yang signifikan. Sebaliknya, volume ekspor mineral mentah justru naik. Direktorat Jenderal Mineral dan Batubara bahkan menyebutkan, ada sejumlah komoditas mineral yang sama sekali belum memiliki pabrik pengolahan di dalam negeri.

Isu pelarangan ekspor mineral mentah makin panas dengan terbitnya Permen ESDM No. 7 Tahun 2012 tentang Peningkatan Nilai Tambah Mineral Melalui Kegiatan Pengolahan dan Pemurnian Mineral. Pasal 21 Permen ini menyatakan, larangan ekspor mineral mentah sudah harus dilaksanakan selambat-lambatnya 3 bulan sejak Permen itu dikeluarkan, 6 Mei 2012. Padahal UU Minerba 2009 menyatakan jatuh tempo adalah 5 tahun sejak UU tersebut disahkan. Namun akhirnya Permen ESDM tersebut dibatalkan oleh MA setelah ada permohonan gugatan dari pengusaha penambangan bauksit di Kalimantan Tengah, Alias Wello.

Kami berharap Anda akan memahami secara cepat duduk perkara pembangunan smelter dan larangan ekspor mineral mentah. Kami sajikan berita-berita lain yang menarik, seperti aksi kemanusiaan tim Vale dalam membantu musibah banjir di Manado (Interaksi), cerita dari Pomala (Profil), dan kiat menjaga kesehatan jantung (Sehat Selamat).

Selamat membaca.

FROM US

Dear readers,

The last five years has seen turbulent times for our mineral industry. This was triggered by a ban on the export of unprocessed minerals, which was to take effect five years, at the latest, after Law No. 4 of 2009 on Mineral and Coal Mining was enacted. The deadline for this was 12 January 2014. The Mining Law requires companies to build their own smelting facilities, therefore sending the message that Indonesia is no longer interested in selling unprocessed minerals.

The Law was created to increase state revenues and add value to the industry in terms of providing employment and supplying domestic (downstream) industries with raw material. No doubt, the spirit of the 2009 Mining Law was nationalism, replacing Law No. 67 on Basic Principles of Mining.

The former law was considered to place the state in a weak position. It was now time for the state and mining corporations to be equals. The problem, according to mining analysts, is that the Law had little regard for the many problems that mining companies.

After three years of enacting the Mining Law, in 2012, domestic pro-cessing and refining industries showed insignificant progress. Instead, the volume of unprocessed mineral exports actually increased. The Directorate General of Minerals and Coal even stated that several mineral commodities had no domestic processing facilities at all.

The issue surrounding the ban on unprocessed mineral exports heated up further with the release of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (MoEMR) Regulation no. 7 of 2012 on Increasing Added Value of Minerals through Mineral Processing and Refining. Article 21 of the MoEMR Regulation stipulated that the ban on unprocessed mineral exports was to take effect within 3 months of the date the Regulation was issued, 6 May 2012. This conflicted with the 2009 Mining Law which stipulated that the deadline was 5 years from the time the law was enacted. The regulation was later annulled by the Supreme Court following a lawsuit by Central Kalimantan bauxite mining businessman, Alias Wello.

We hope it helps you to quickly understand the issues related to the development of smelters and the ban on raw mineral exports. We also present to you with other interesting articles such as the humanitarian action of a team from Vale in assisting flood victims in Manado (Interaction), a story from Pomala (Profile) and tips to maintain a healthy heart (Safe Health)

Enjoy.

SURAT PEMBACA / READERS’ LET TERS

RESENSI BUKU Halo Vale merupakan bacaan yang selalu saya tunggu-tunggu kemun-culannya. Saya senang dan banyak mendapat pengetahuan dari ulasan-ulasannya. Apalagi bahasa dan kontennya semakin disajikan dengan gaya populer. Saya usul agar pada edisi-edisi selanjutnya, Halo Vale punya rubrik khusus resensi buku-buku baru yang menarik. Ini bisa menjadi panduan bagi mereka yang suka membaca atau menambah minat baca karyawan. S t i v a n B e n n y M a m a h i t [ M i n i n g D e p a r t m e n t ]

Terima kasih masukannya. Sementara kami tampung dan akan pertimbangkan kehadiran beberapa rubrik baru yang memang banyak diusulkan pembaca, termasuk rubrik yang Anda usulkan. Sampai saat ini redaksi belum punya rencana mengubah atau menambah rubrik karena keterbatasan halaman.

VERSI SOFTCOPYSelamat dan sukses buat Halo Vale yang telah terbit hingga beberapa edisi dengan isi yang makin menarik dan inovatif. Selain versi hard-copy, apakah Halo Vale juga tersedia dalam versi softcopy? Bila ada versi softcopy tentu lebih hemat, karena makin sedikit Halo Vale yang dicetak. Saya sangat sayang melihat Halo Vale yang sudah dicetak dengan baik tapi berceceran karena berlebih. Selain itu, dengan versi softcopy, Halo Vale berpotensi menjadi lebih interaktif seperti majalah-majalah online yang ada sekarang, yang bahkan sudah ada video di dalamnya.U m a r K a s m o n [ L a b o r a t o r y a n d S H ]

Halo Vale tersedia pula dalam versi softcopy. Pembaca dapat mengaksesnya melalui situs vale.com/indonesia di bagian “Publikasi”. Sebenarnya kami telah melakukan penyesuaian agar sejalan dengan kebijakan penghematan biaya, yakni dengan mengurangi jumlah oplah dan spesifikasi cetak yang lebih hemat.

MASIH SERING TERLAMBATDalam kesempatan ini saya ingin menyampaikan kritik tentang Halo Vale yang selalu terlambat sampai ke tangan karyawan. Bahkan hal ini telah terjadi sejak Inkomunikasi. Apakah majalah ini memiliki per-jalanan birokrasi yang berbelit-belit di departemen untuk sampaikepada kami? Sebab, saya menerima Halo Vale edisi 5 bulan Septem-ber pada pertengahan Oktober. Kedua, mengapa untuk mengirimkan kuis hanya bisa melalui emailVale. Padahal tidak semua karyawan memiliki email Vale. Dengan kebijakan ini, kami seakan tidak punya kesempatan untuk berpar-tisipasi mengirimkan kuis. Terima kasih.R e n y N o v i a n a Po l y [ P r o c t e c h A n a l y s t ]

Rantai pasca-produksi memang merupakan tantangan yang masih dihadapi redaksi sampai saat ini. Namun kami berusaha agar tiap edisi Halo Vale dapat sampai di tangan pembaca setiap 2 bulan. Mengenai kuis, pembaca dapat berpartisipasi dengan mengirimkan fotokopi jawaban melalui DP 23B atau alamat redaksi. Jadi jawaban tidak mesti dikirimkan melalui email Vale.

Kirimkan kritik, saran, dan tanggapan Anda tentang Halo Vale ke [email protected] atau kirimkan surat ke DP 23B. Surat yang dimuat akan mendapatkan suvenir menarik. Pengirim surat pembaca yang dimuat, silahkan mengambil suvenir di Communications & External Affairs Depart-ment pada hari dan jam kerja.

Send your opinion, comment and feedback about Halo Vale to [email protected] or letters to DP 23B. For each letter published will receive a souvenir. For letter senders, kindly pick up your souvenir at Communications & External Affairs Department during the days and working hour.

BOOK REVIEWI always eagerly anticipate the newest edition of Halo Vale magazine. I enjoy reading and gaining knowledge from the magazine’s informative coverage, particularly as it is written in a popular language that is easyto understand. I suggest that in future editions, Halo Vale include re-views of interesting new books. This will provide a guide for those of us who enjoy reading and increase an interest in reading among employees.S t i v a n B e n n y M a m a h i t [ M i n i n g D e p a r t m e n t ]

Thank you for your input. For the time being, suggestions for any new columns as requested by many readers will be considered, including the column that you have suggested. Currently, however, there are no plans to change or add columns due to space limitations.

SOFT COPY Congratulations and well done on the successful publication of several editions of Halo Vale packed with interesting and innovative content. Besides its print version, is Halo Vale also available in digital format? Soft copies of Halo Vale will no doubt cost less, as fewer magazines need to be printed. It seems wasteful to see nicely printed copies of Halo Vale scattered about due to a surplus of them. Also, having digital copies of the magazine allows it to be interactive like many online magazines we see today, some of which even carry embedded videos.U m a r K a s m o n [ L a b o r a t o r y a n d S H ]

Halo Vale is available in digital format and readers can access it from the “Publications” page of the vale.com/indonesia website. We have in fact made some adjustments, in accordance with cost-cutting policies, by reducing our circulation and applying cost-efficient print specifications.

STILL DELAYED I would like to take this opportunity to criticize Halo Vale for being con-stantly late in reaching employees. In fact, this has happened sinceit was still called Inkomunikasi. Is there a long and winding bureaucra-tic process in the department through which the magazine must passbefore reaching us? I received Halo Vale’s September Edition 5 in mid-October.

Secondly, why can quizzes only be sent through Vale email, when in fact not all employees have Vale email? By having this requirement, it seems we have no chance of participating in quizzes. Thank you. R e n y N o v i a n a Po l y [ P r o c t e c h A n a l y s t ]

The post-production chain is indeed a challenge that the editorial team must face to this day. However, we will endeavor to have readers receive Halo Vale every 2 months. With regards to the quizzes, readers can participate by sending a photocopy of their answers through DP23B or editor’s address, so they do not need to be sent through Vale email.

Pelarangan ekspor mineral mentah sebagaimana diamanatk an UU No. 4 Tahun 2009 tidak mudah dilaksanak an. Apa alasannya?

Kapal Aeriko milik Cina itu sudah berada di Laut Sulawesi pada 10 Januari 2014 silam. Posisinya hanya beberapa kilometer dari Pelabuhan Pomalaa, Sulawesi Tenggara. Namun kapal barang curah (bulk carrier) berbobot mati 63 ribu ton lebih itu tidak mendapat izin mengangkat sauh. Padahal kapal yang dioperasikan oleh Erli International Ship Management Co itu, yang bermarkas di Shanghai, telah dipenuhi bijih nikel dan siap kirim ke Pelabuhan Guangzhou.

Aeriko merupakan 1 dari 10 kapal berjenis bulk carrier yang tidak diizinkan keluar perairan Indonesia oleh bea cukai setempat. Gara-garanya, Aeriko memuat ribuan ton mineral mentah dua hari sebelum jatuh tempo pelarangan ekspor mineral mentah sebagaimana diamanatkan oleh UU No. 4 Tahun 2009 tentang Minerba, yakni 5 tahun sejak UU tersebut disahkan pada 2009. Karena itulah, sepekan sebelumnya, banyak kapal kargo Cina buru-buru menyelesaikan prosedur pengapalan sebelum jatuh tempo pelarangan ekspor mineral mentah tersebut.

Atas penahanan tersebut, Duta Besar Cina untuk Indonesia Liu Jianchao kontan angkat bicara. Dia melayangkan surat kepada Kementerian Perhubungan, Kementerian ESDM, dan Kementerian Perdagangan, dengan tembusan kepada pemerintah Sulawesi Tenggara. Jianchao keberatan atas penahanan kapal-kapal tersebut, karena mengakibatkan kerugian jutaan dollar AS. Dia meminta pemerintah Indonesia untuk mempertimbangkan kembali keputusannya.

Beberapa bulan sebelum UU Minerba disahkan, pemerintah Indonesia sebenarnya sudah gencar mengingatkan perusahaan tambang berorientasi ekspor mineral mentah untuk menihilkan aktivitas tersebut dan membangun pabrik pengolahan (smelter). Ini dimaksudkan untuk meningkatkan nilai tambah produk mineral (hilirisasi). Pro dan kontra pun muncul.

UU Minerba 2009 memang mewajibkan komoditas pertambangan diolah di dalam negeri sebelum diekspor. Namun UU itu memberi-kan pengecualian kepada perusahaan pemegang Kontrak Karya (KK) dan Perjanjian Karya Pengusahaan Pertambangan Batubara (PKP2B) untuk menjalankan kewajiban tersebut paling lambat tahun 2014. Bagi pemerintah Indonesia, waktu lima tahun hingga 2014 lebih dari cukup untuk merealisasikan seratus persen kebijakan hilirisasi tersebut.

Kenyataannya, setelah tiga tahun UU Minerba dicanangkan sejak 2012, kegiatan pengolahan dan pemurnian di dalam negeri belum juga menunjukkan perkembangan yang signifikan. Sebaliknya, volume ekspor mineral mentah justru naik. Direktorat Jenderal Mineral dan Batubara bahkan menyebutkan, ada sejumlah komoditas mineral yang sama sekali belum memiliki pabrik pengolahan di dalam negeri.

Sebagai contoh, total produksi bauksit pada 2011 sebesar 40,7 juta ton, sebanyak 39,7 juta ton diekspor mentah. Yang diolah di dalam negeri hanya 0,03 juta ton. Sedangkan produksi mangan mentah meningkat 8 kali lipat dan tembaga 11 kali lipat dari 2008 hingga 2011.

Termutakhir, catatan Kementerian Perdagangan, dari 2012-2013 ekspor bijih tembaga dan konsentratnya mencapai 918 juta kilogram pada 2012, naik jadi 1,03 miliar kilogram pada 2013. Sedangkan ekspor bijih besi dan konsentratnya sebesar 8,6 miliar kilogram pada 2012, naik menjadi 17,4 miliar kilogram pada 2013.

Ekspor bijih nikel dan konsentratnya bervolume 33 miliar kilogram pada 2012, melesat naik jadi 47 miliar kilogram pada 2013. ”Dan kita tahu, 60-70 persen mineral itu diekspor ke Cina. Bodohnya kita, kenapa volume ekspor naik, harga justru turun?” kata pengamat energi Marwan Batubara. Tak heran, kata Marwan, bila perusahaan tambang besar yang belum memiliki smelter berteriak kencang dan sengaja mengenjot produksi sebelum ekspor mineral mentah dilarang.

Isu pelarangan ekspor mineral mentah makin panas dengan terbit-nya Permen ESDM No. 7 Tahun 2012 tentang Peningkatan Nilai Tam-bah Mineral Melalui Kegiatan Pengolahan dan Pemurnian Mineral. Pasal 21 Permen ini menyatakan, larangan ekspor mineral mentahsudah harus dilaksanakan selambat-lambatnya 3 bulan sejak Permenitu dikeluarkan, 6 Mei 2012. Padahal UU Minerba 2009 menyatakan jatuh tempo adalah 5 tahun sejak UU tersebut disah-kan. Namun akhirnya Permen ESDM tersebut dibatalkan oleh MA setelah ada permohonan gugatan dari pengusaha penambangan bauksit di Kalimantan Tengah, Alias Wello.

Permen No. 7 Tahun 2012 kemudian digantikan Permen No. 11 Tahun 2012, diikuti Inpres No. 3 Tahun 2013 tentang Percepatan Peningkatan Nilai Tambah Mineral Melalui Pengolahan dan Pemur-nian di Dalam Negeri pada 13 Februari 2014. Dalam Permen No. 11Tahun 2012 disebutkan, pemegang izin usaha pertambangan (IUP)masih diperbolehkan mengekspor mineral mentah dengan sejum-lah catatan seperti berkomitmen untuk membangun smelter, ber-itikad baik untuk menjaga lingkungan, dan areal tambangnya ber-status clear and clean (tidak tumpang-tindih).

Terkait pelarangan ekspor mineral mentah ini, isu-isu yang muncul adalah tentang perusahaan kecil bakal gulung tikar, maraknya pe-mutusan hubungan kerja, berkurangnya pemasukan negara, dantidak mudah membangun smelter. ”Membangun smelter membu-tuhkan waktu 3-4 tahun, karena perlu uji kelayakan dan perhitunganekonomi,” ujar juru bicara PT Freeport Indonesia, Daisy Primayanto seperti dilansir Tempo.co (6 Februari 2014).

Freeport disebut sedang melakukan uji kelayakan untuk membangun smelter tembaga di dua tempat, Gresik, Jawa Timur, dan Timika, Papua. Proyek senilai 3 miliar dollar AS itu, merupakan kerja sama Freeport dengan PT Indosmelt dan PT Indovasi Mineral Indonesia.

Meski demikian, ada beberapa perusahaan telah siap menyambut kebijakan hilirisasi pemerintah. Sebut saja PT Antam. Perusahaan ini menggandeng perusahaan tambang asal Australia, Direct NickelLimited, yang pada 31 Mei 2012 mulai membangun pabrik pengo-lahan nikel berkapasitas 10 ribu ton per bulan senilai Rp3,8 triliun.

Melihat pro dan kontra pelarangan ekspor mineral mentah tersebut, pemerintah Indonesia bergeming. Dirjen Pajak Fuad Rahmany, se-hari sebelum jatuh tempo pelarangan mineral mentah diberlakukan,11 Januari 2014, menyatakan, pemerintah tidak takut kehilangan potensi pajak akibat penghentian ekspor tambang mentah. ”Pajak pasti berkurang, tapi kita enggak mau mineral kita dikeruk habis-habisan dan dibawa ke luar negeri,” ujar mantan Ketua Badan Penga-was Pasar Modal ini, seperti dilansir (kompas.com, 11 Januari 2014).

Pajak MerosotPerhitungan Fuad, potensi kehilangan pajak dari pelarangan aturan ekspor tambang mentah tidak signifikan. ”Totalnya sekitar Rp15 triliun. Sebanyak Rp3 triliun dari pos pajak dan Rp12 triliun bea keluar. Itu eng-gak besar. Kita juga bisa mencari pemasukan dari pos selain tambang ,” ujar Fuad.

Munculnya pro kontra pelaksanaan UU Minerba Tahun 2009, menu-rut pengamat ekonomi dari Universitas Indonesia Zenathan Adnin,karena lambatnya pihak swasta menyikapi regulasi ini. “Padahal UU Minerba sudah dirilis sejak 2009, tapi mereka lambat merespons-nya,” ujar Zenathan Adnin.

Namun belakangan, sikap tegas pemerintah untuk melaksanakan tanpa kompromi amanat UU Minerba Tahun 2009 sepertinya me-lunak. Melalui dua kementeriannya, terbit Permen ESDM No.1 Tahun 2014 tentang tentang Peningkatan Nilai Tambah Mineral Melalui Kegiatan Pengolahan dan Pemurnian Mineral di Dalam Negeri dan Peraturan Menteri Keuangan No. 6/PMK.011/2014 tentang Bea Keluar Progresif untuk Ekspor Mineral.

Dalam Permen ESDM 1/2014 disebutkan, pemerintah memberikan batas waktu pembangunan smelter sampai tiga tahun ke depan atau sampai 2017. Sedangkan dalam Permen Keuangan dilansir kebijakan bea keluar progresif bertahap dengan kisaran 20-60 persen hingga akhir 2016 bagi pengekspor mineral mentah.

Dalam opini Irwandy Arif, Ketua Indonesia Mining Institute yang di-muat Bisnis Indonesia, 30 Desember 2013, ada dua hal yang dapatdilakukan pemerintah agar industri nikel Indonesia berkesinambu-ngan. Pertama, diperlukan perencanaan dan pengawasan terhadappembatasan ekspor bijih nikel. Kedua, pemerintah perlu menciptakaniklim investasi yang merangsang masuknya pelaku usaha yang mau berinvestasi untuk pembangunan jangka panjang.

Di sisi lain, pengurangan ekspor bijih nikel tidak akan menurunkan pendapatan negara dalam jangka pendek. Namun justru membe-rikan keuntungan yang jauh lebih besar bagi Indonesia untuk jang-

ka panjang ketika diterapkan kewajiban pendirian smelter. []

Indonesia telah menjadi eksportir terbesar bijih nikel dunia dengan volume 600.000-700.000 ton per tahun dalam lima tahun

terakhir (30% dari suplai dunia) Namun, hal itu tidak seiring dengan peningkatan pendapatan negara, khususnya pajak dan

royalti yang kian merosot. Intinya, ekspor bijih nikel tidak berperan signifikan dalam peningkatan pendapatan negara lantaran

nilai jualnya yang rendah. Sebagai negara yang memiliki sumber nikel terbaik di dunia, kenyataan tersebut tidak membuat

Indonesia memiliki nilai tambah produk yang maksimal.

PRODUKSI NIKEL DI INDONESIA (METRIK TON)

Pertambangan nikel di Indonesia booming sejak 2006. Meski demikian pertumbuhannya banyak ditopang oleh ekspor bijih besi Pasca keluarnya UU Minerba (2009), pertumbuhan perusahaan tambang nikel kian besar, meski ada kewajiban untuk memproduksi bahan mentah tersebut di dalam negeri.

Indonesia telah melampaui sebagai pemasok bijih besi dunia dari 10% menjadi 30% saat ini. Dengan volume ekspor dari 200.000 tonmenjadi 600-700.000 ton setiap bulannya. Namun kenyataan itu, tidak memberikan peningkatan yang signifikan, khususnya perusahaan tambang yang telah memiliki smelter maupun pendapatan pemerintah dari pajak dan royalti juga jatuh.

Intinya adalah memasok pasar nikel melalui ekspor bijih memiliki nilai keuangan yang terbatas, terutama karena ekspor bijih menerima persentase yang rendah dari harga LME. Meskipun memiliki beberapa sumber nikel terbaik dunia, Indonesia tidak mendapatkan nilai maksimal. Sebaliknya, yang terjadi adalah tak lebih dari deposito bijih besi kelas tertinggi yang cepat habis.

Mendorong lebih banyak smelter adalah solusi meningkatkan pendapatan Indonesia. Hal ini akan memastikan potensi nikel di Indonesia diubah menjadi pertumbuhan ekonomi yang lebih besar dan kekayaan bagi semua.

The Aeriko, a Chinese-owned freighter, was anchored in the Celebes Sea on 10 January 2014, a few kilometers from Southeast Sulawesi’s Pomala Port. But the 63,000 DWT bulk carrier operated by Shanghai-based Erli International Ship Management Co was not given permission to leave despite being loaded with nickel ore, ready for shipment to Guangzhou Port.

Aeriko was 1 of 10 bulk carriers prevented from leaving Indonesian waters by local customs authorities. The authorities reasoned that Aeriko was carrying thousands of tons of unprocessed minerals two days before the law banning raw mineral exports (Law No. 4 of 2009 on Mineral and Coal Mining) was to take effect – five years from the time the legislation was enacted on 12 January 2009. This was also the reason a large number of Chinese cargo ships were rushing to have their shipping procedures completed in the week prior to the law taking effect.

Chinese Ambassador to Indonesia Liu Jianchao raised questions on the detaining of the vessels in letters sent to the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and the Ministry of Trade, with copies to the government of Southeast Sulawesi. Jianchao expressed displeasure with the vessels being held up, costing millions of US dollars in losses. He asked the Indonesian government to reconsider its decision.

A few months before the 2009 Law on Mineral and Coal Mining (or “2009 Mining Law”) was enacted the Indonesian government had, in fact, reminded mining companies with ventures in unprocessed mineral exports to discontinue their activity and start building pro-cessing plants, or smelters. This down streaming was expected to add value to mineral products. This move had triggered plenty of debate.

The 2009 Mining Law requires mining commodities to be processed domestically before they can be exported. But companies holding Contracts of Work (KK) and Coal Contracts of Work (PKP2B) were exempt from the regulation and had until 2014 to implement it. The Indonesian government considered five years, until 2014, morethan enough time for companies to comply with the down stream-ing policy.

In reality, after three years of implementing the Law, domestic processing and refining capacities had shown no significant improvements by 2012; instead, there were sizeable increases in the volume of raw mineral exports. The Directorate General of Minerals and Coal even stated that some mineral commodities had no domestic processing facilities at all.

For example, from the total production of bauxite in 2011 of 40.7 million tons, 39.7 million tons were exported in unprocessed form. Only 0.3 million tons was processed onshore. Meanwhile, raw manganese production increased 8 fold between 2008 and 2011while copper went up 11 fold.

Most recently, the Ministry of Trade reported that exports of copper ore and its concentrates, which reached 918 million kilograms in 2012, increased to 1.03 billion kilograms in 2013. Exports of iron ore and its concentrates increased from 8.6 billion kilograms in 2012 to 17.4 billion in 2013. Exports of nickel ore and its concentrates went up from 33 billion kilograms in 2012 to 47 billion kilograms in 2013. “And we know that 60-70 percent of the minerals are exported to China. Then we are stupid enough to wonder why export volumes are increasing while prices are decreasing,” said energy observer Marwan Batubara. It is no wonder, Marwan pointed out, that large mining firms lacking smelters; were the loudest to complain and deliberately increased their production before raw mineral exports were banned completely.

Debate surrounding the export ban heated up further with the re-lease of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) Regula-tion No. 7 of 2012 on Increasing Added Value of Minerals through Mineral Processing and Refining. Article 21 of the MoEMR Regula-tion stipulated that the ban on unprocessed mineral exports was to take effect within 3 months of the date the Regulation was issued, 6 May 2012. This conflicted with the 2009 Mining Law which stipulated that the deadline was 5 years from the time the law was enacted. The re-gulation was later annulled by the Supreme Court following a lawsuit by Central Kalimantan bauxite mining businessman, Alias Wello.

MEMR Regulation No. 7 of 2012 has since been replaced with MEMR Regulation No. 11 of 2012 and Presidential Instruction No. 3 of 2013 on Accelerating the Increase of Added Value of Minerals through Domestic Mineral Processing and Refining on 13 February 2014. MoEMR Regulation No. 11 of 2012 stipulates that holders of Mining Business Permits (IUP) are still permitted to export raw minerals provided they complied with several requirements, such as demonstrating their commitment to develop a smelter, having the goodwill to protect the environment and ensuring that their mining area had a “clear and clean” status (that did not overlap others).

Issues surrounding the ban on raw mineral exports mainly related to the possibility of small-scale companies closing down, company workers being laid off and state revenues falling, as well as the difficulty of building smelters. “Building a smelter can take 3 to4 years due to the need for feasibility studies and economic calcu-lations,” said PT Freeport spokesperson Daisy Primayanto (Tempo.co, February 6, 2014) .

Freeport is said to be conducting feasibility studies for the develop-ment of two copper smelters: one in Gresik, East Java, and the other in Timika, Papua. The $3 billion development will be a colla-borative project between Freeport, PT Indosmelt and PT Indovasi Mineral Indonesia.

However, other companies have stated that they are ready to com-ply with the government’s down streaming policy. Take for example PT Antam. On 31 May 2012, in collaboration with Austra-lian mining firm Direct Nickel Limited, it began development of a IDR3.8 trillion nickel processing facility which would have a capacity of 10,000 tons a month.

The Indonesian government has been unmoved by the debate surrounding the export ban. A day before the ban was to take effect (11 January 2014), Director General of Tax Fuad Rahmany said the

government was not scared of potential tax losses due to the ban on raw mineral exports. “Tax revenues will surely decline, but we don’t want to see our minerals being completely depleted and taken offshore,” said Fuad, who was the former head of the Capital Market Supervisory Agency (kompas.com, January, 11, 2014).

Less TaxBased on his calculations, the potential tax loss resulting from the ban on unprocessed mineral exports is insignificant. “The total is only IDR15 trillion, or IDR3 trillion from taxes and IDR12 trillion from export duties. It’s not a large amount. We can regain this from state revenues collected from non-mining areas,” Fuad said.

According to economic observer Zenathan Adnin from Universitas Indonesia, debate around the implementation of the 2009 Mining Law was caused by the private sector’s sluggish response to the regulation. “The Law was enacted in 2009, but they have been slow to respond,” said Zenathan Adnin.

Recently, however, the government’s uncompromising resolve seems to be wavering. This is apparent from MoEMR Regulation No. 1 of 2014 on Increasing Added Value of Minerals Through Domestic Mine-ral Processing and Refining, and Minister of Finance Regulation No. 6/PMK.011/2014 on Progressive Export Duties for Mineral Exports.

In MEMR Regulation 1/2014, the deadline for the development of smelting facilities has been extended by three years to 2017. In theFinance Minister’s regulation, duties on exports will be progressively increased from 20 percent to 60 percent by the end of 2016.

Irwandy Arif, Chairperson of the Indonesia Mining Institute, was quoted by Bisnis Indonesia on 30 December 2013 as saying the government can do two things to guarantee the sustainability of Indonesia’s nickel industry. Firstly, it needs to plan and supervise the restriction of nickel ore exports. Secondly, the government should create a conducive investment climate encouraging businesses to commit to long-term developments.

Irwandy said restricting nickel ore exports would not reduce state revenues in the short term. On the contrary, it would provide substantial long-term benefits particularly when it becomes compulsory for companies to build smelters. []

supplying less than 10% of the world nickel market to approximately 30% today. It has gone from less than 200,000t of nickel

exports to somewhere in the region of 600-700,000t. Meanwhile, revenues have not increased in a meaningful fashion. Of course,

NICKEL PRODUC TION IN INDONESIA (METRIC TON)

Nickel mining in Indonesia has been booming since 2006. However all the growth has come via direct ore export operations. Most nickel mines in Indonesia today have started after the 2009 mining law, despite clear obligations for domestic processing. Indonesia has gone from supplying less than 10% of the world nickel market to approximately 30% today. It has gone from less than 200,000t of nickel exports to somewhere in the region of 600-700,000t. Meanwhile, revenues have not increased in a meaningful fashion. Of course, as company revenues fall, government revenues from taxes and royalties are also falling.

The point is that the current approach of supplying the nickel market through ore exports has had limited financial value, mainly since the ore exports receive a low percentage of the LME price. Despite having some of the world’s best nickel resources, Indonesia isn’t getting optimum value. Instead, we’re seeing the highest grade deposits being rapidly depleted.

Encouraging more home processed nickel would almost certainly increase Indonesian revenues. This would ensure Indonesia’s nickel potential is converted into greater economic growth and wealth for all to share.

Membangun Smelter Tidak MudahSebanyak 185 proposal pembangunan smelter masuk ke pemerintah. Tak semua ak an dilolosk an.

L APOR AN UTAMA

Ketentuan UU Minerba Tahun 2009 agar perusahaan tambang me-miliki smelter (pabrik pengolahan) dianggap terlalu berat. Sebe-narnya, seberapa sulit membangun smelter? Jawabannya memang sulit. Membangun pabrik pengolahan bahan tambang mentah bukan melulu menyangkut perizinan dan sumber tenaga, tapi juga kelayakan dari sisi bisnis bagi investor. Catatan Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) menyebutkan, setiap smelter menelan biaya rata-rata 2-10 miliar dollar AS atau Rp1,9-9,5 triliun, bergantung pada kapasitas.

Hingga menjelang akhir 2013, dalam catatan Kementerian ESDM, sedikitnya 185 proposal pembangunan smelter diajukan dengan nilai investasi 555 miliar dollar AS atau senilai Rp5.233,6 triliun. Dari jumlah proposal yang masuk itu, pemerintah akan menyeleksi dan memilih investor yang benar-benar punya dana. Pemerintah juga mempertimbangkan kecukupan bahan baku. Jadi belum tentu rencana 185 smelter itu direalisasikan semuanya.

Data yang dirilis Kementerian ESDM pada pertengahan Januari 2014 lalu menyebutkan, baru 66 perusahaan pemegang IUP (izin usaha pertambangan) atau baru sekitar 27% dari 250 pemegang IUP yang siap dan serius membangun smelter. Sebagai contoh, investasi smelter tembaga, menurut Syanrir AB, Direktur Eksekutif Indonesia Mining Association (IMA) dinilai mencengangkan. PT Indosmelt, misalnya, yang berencana membangun smelter berkapasitas 350 ribu ton konsentrat yang dapat menjadi 100 ribu ton katoda tembaga dan asam sulfat—bahan bagi industri pupuk—perlu modal sedikitnya 700 juta dollar AS.

Pikiran itu diamini Dito Ganinduto, anggota Komisi VII DPR. “Idenyabagus, karena hilirisasi tidak tergantung swasta. Ini hampir samadengan pemerintah membangun kilang sendiri, tapi harus dipikir-kan mekanismenya,” kata dia (inilah.com, 12 Desember 2013).

Menyangkut jaminan pasokan bahan baku sendiri, sebagai contoh,smelter tembaga belum ada peminatnya. Calon investor PT Nusan-tara Smelting, misalnya, meminta jaminan pasokan tersebut. Saat ini, smelter tembaga di Indonesia yang beroperasi adalah milik PT Smelting Gresik yang mengolah 30% konsentrat tembaga yang dipasok dari Freeport dan Newmont Nusa Tenggara. Padahal Indo-nesia memiliki cadangan 4,2 miliar ton bijih tembaga. []

Building Smelters Not Easy The government has received 185 proposals for the construc tion of new smelters. Not all will get a green light.

The need for mining companies to have smelters (processing faci-lities) as stipulated by the 2009 Mining Law is considered a difficult task to fulfill. But is a smelter hard to build? The answer, yes, it is. Developing a factory processing raw mining products does not only involve obtaining the necessary permits and manpower; it is also about assessing the venture’s business feasibility as determined by the investor. According to Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MoEMR), a smelter costs $2-10 billion, or IDR1.9-9.5 trillion on average, depending on capacity.

As of the end of 2013, the MEMR has received at least 185 proposals for the construction of smelters, with a total investment of $555 billion or IDR5,233 trillion. The government would select and

choose the proposals from investors with solid financing. The government would also take into account the supply of raw material. So, the 185 smelters may not all go ahead.

According to MEMR data released in mid-January, only 66 IUP holders – or about 27% of 250 IUP holders – are prepared and serious about building smelters. The investment for a copper smelter is astonishing, said Indonesia Mining Association (IMA) Executive Director Syahrir AB. For example, PT Indosmelt’s plans to build a smelter with a 350,000-ton concentrate capacity producing 100,000 tons of copper cathodes and sulfuric acid – material for fertilizer manufacturing – will require capital of at least $700 million.

Selain perihal kewajiban perusahaan tambang untuk memiliki pabrik pengolahan, terbitnya UU Minerba juga sejalan dengan target pemerintah untuk menata Izin Usaha Pertambangan (IUP). Pasalnya, dalam 10 tahun terakhir – pasca keluarnya UU Otonomi Daerah - penerbitan IUP oleh pemerintah daerah kian tak terkontrol dan memunculkan imbas negatif. Khususnya tumpang tindih lahan dan kerusakan lingkungan akibat praktik penambangan IUP yang tidak memperhatikan aspek keseimbangan alam dominannya.

Data Direktorat Jenderal Mineral dan Batubara Kementerian ESDM pada Februari 2014 menyebutkan terdapat 10.918 IUP di Indonesia. Sebanyak 12 provinsi diidentifikasi memiliki IUP terbanyak, di an-taranya Bangka Belitung (1085 IUP), Kalimantan Barat (682 IUP), Kalimantan Tengah (866 IUP), Kalimantan Timur (1.443 IUP), Sulawesi Tengah (443 IUP), dan Sulawesi Tenggara (472 IUP). Sebanyak 6.041 telah berstatus clean & clear (CNC) dan 4.877 sisanya berstatus non CNC dimana 3.136 berada di 12 provinsi tersebut.

“UU Minerba mencoba melakukan perubahan tata kelola tambang minerba. Salah satu yang harus ditata ulang adalah izin-izin yangtumpang tindih tersebut,” ujar Staf Ahli Bagian Hukum dan Perun-dang-undangan Kementerian ESDM, Sony Heru Prasetyo.

Persoalan tak cuma sampai di situ. Selain status CNC, persoalannya adalah juga teridentifikasi perusahaan pemegang IUP yang belum memiliki Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak (NPWP) ternyata cukup banyak. Data Ditjen Pajak Maret 2014, disebutkan terdapat 3.202 perusahaan pemegang IUP yang belum teridentifikasi NPWP-nya.

Dari hal itu, dalam catatan Ditjen Minerba, sejak 2005-2013, muncul piutang negara tercatat sebesar Rp.1.308 miliar yang terdiri dari iuran tetap Rp31 miliar atau 2,3 persen dan royalti sebesar Rp1.277 miliar atau 97,6 persen. Sedangkan jumlah piutang pada 12 provinsi mencapai Rp. 905 miliar atau 69 persen dari total piutang. Yang terdiri dari iuran tetap sebesar Rp. 23 miliar dan royalti sebesar Rp882 miliar rupiah. Piutang ini berasal dari 1.659 perusahaan dari total 7.501 IUP yang ada di 12 provinsi tersebut.

Antara Regulasi Tambang, Penataan IUP, dan Kewenangan DaerahPemerintah pusat, pemerintah daerah dan KPK bekerja sama mengindentifik asi ribuan IUP di Indonesia. Tujuannya menyeragamk an prosedur, data, dan mencegah kerugian negara.

Tak ayal, melihat fakta ini, Kementerian ESDM bersama Komisi Pem-berantasan Korupsi (KPK) dan menggandeng kementerian terkait lainnya seperti Keuangan, Perdagangan, Dalam Negeri, dan Peme-rintah Daerah gencar mengidentifikasi ribuan IUP sejak Februari 2014 silam untuk menyelamatkan keuangan negara dari praktik bisnis di sektor tambang.

“Selama ini yang terjadi ada perbedaan data jumlah pemegang IUP antara Ditjen Minerba dengan Pemerintah Daerah. Maka itu, tujuan percepatan keluarnya peta kawasan tambang tersebut mengingat potensi kerugian negara akibat oknum kepala daerah di provinsi dan kabupaten terbilang tinggi,” ujar Ketua Tim Kajian Sumber Daya Alam Litbang KPK Dian Patria.

Kewajiban ReklamasiSementara, menurut ahli geologi Nadjamuddin Nawawi merebaknya penerbitan IUP terjadi karena dua hal. Pertama, banyak daerah yangberorientasi mengejar pendapatan asli daerah lewat sektor pertam-bangan. Kedua, masih banyak pemerintah daerah yang tidak mema-hami prosedur penerbitan IUP dan disharmonisasi antar kepala daerah dalam penerbitan izin karena batas administrasi daerah yang kadang tidak jelas.

Alhasil, yang terjadi tumpang tindih tadi. Dan lokasi IUP banyak yang terletak di wilayah hutan lindung. Di luar itu, ada hal penting lainnya dalam penerbitan IUP, yakni status IUP eksplorasi menjadi IUP operasi produksi, harus disertai dengan kajian indikasi prospek dan nilai eko-nomis. “Karena hal ini adalah petunjuk undang- undang,” tambah dia.

Umumnya IUP operasi produksi yang dikeluarkan pemerintah daerah yang terjadi selama ini, termasuk untuk jenis tambang galian C, tidak memenuhi aspek tersebut. “Hak dan kewajiban juga harus jelas, misal-nya perusahaan tambang harus melakukan reklamasi,” ungkap dia.

Soal tumpang tindih ini, lihatlah catatan KPK dari kunjungan identifikasi IUP di Kalimatan Tengah pada Februari silam. Tumpang tindih IUP dengan kawasan hutan terjadi pada 20 ribu hektar kawasan hutan lindung, hampir 4.000 hektar hutan konservasi dan 379 ribu hektar kawasan HP (hutan produksi), HPK (hutan produksi dapat dikonversikan), dan HPT (hutan produksi terbatas). Dari hasil kajian KPK, tidak satupun daerah di provinsi ini mencantumkan data jaminan pascatambang. Sedangkan data jaminan reklamasi, hanya dicantumkan oleh 20 IUP dari 845 IUP senilai Rp5,5 miliar.

Tenaga PengawasSelain soal reklamasi, Sony Heru Prasetyo juga menambahkan faktor ketersediaan inspektur tambang di daerah. Sehingga komposisi IUP dan tenaga pengawasnya cukup ideal. ”Yang terjadi saat ini inspektur tambang di daerah sangat sedikit sekali jumlahnya dan tidak sesuai dengan jumlah izin yang dikeluarkan,” tambah Sony.

Sedangkan dalam perspektif pakar hukum Todung Mulya Lubis, pemerintah daerah boleh saja menggunakan kewenangannya memberikan dan mencabut IUP karena hal tersebut diatur dalam UU Otonomi Daerah, namun aspek tumpang tindih lahan juga perlu menjadi perhatian serius untuk diselesaikan, khususnya oleh pemerintah pusat untuk dikoreksi. ”Jangan biarkan soal tumpang-tindih lahan ini jadi bom waktu yang akan merugikan kita semua,” ujar dia (Koran Tempo, 29 Juni 2012).

Between the Mining Regulation, Mining Permit Structuring and Regional Authority The central government, loc al governments, and KPK (Corruption Eradic ation Commission) work closely to identify thousands of IUP (mining permit) in Indonesia. The objec tive is to unify procedures, data, and prevent losses.

The mining companies are required to have a processing plan. In addition, the Government issued the Mining Law in line with the Government’s target to organize mining permits (IUP). In the last 10 years, after the issuance of the Regional Autonomy Law, issuance of mining permits (IUP) by local governments becomes increasingly uncontrollable. As a result, land overlaps emerge and the severity of environmental damage increases due to mining practices with no consideration of the aspect of the natural balance.

According to the data from the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal of the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, in February 2014, there were 10,918 mining permits (IUP) in Indonesia. A total of 12 provinces were identified as having the largest number of IUP, including Bangka Belitung (1,085 IUP), West Kalimantan (682),

Central Kalimantan (866), East Kalimantan (1,443), Central Sulawesi (443), and Southeast Sulawesi (472). A total of 6,041 IUP have the status of clean and clear (CNC) while the remaining 4,877 have the status of non-CNC, in which 3,136 are in the 12 provinces.

“The objective of the Mining Law is to change the governance of Mineral and Coal Mining. Permit overlapping should be reorganized,” said the Legal and Legislation Senior Advisor of the Ministry of Energy, Sony Heru Prasetyo.

In addition to the CNC status, many companies with mining permits are identified without Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP). From the data of the Taxation Office, in March 2014, there were 3,202 companies holding the IUP with unidentified NPWP.

In this context, the Directorate General of Mining recorded, since 2005-2013 State Receivables was recorded to be Rp1,308 billion, which consisted of Rp31 billion of fixed fees or 2.3 percent and royalties of Rp1,277 billion or 97.6 percent. Meanwhile the number of receivables in the 12 provinces reached Rp905 billion, or 69 percent of total receivables, which consisted of fixed fees of Rp23 billion and royalties of Rp882 billion. These receivables came from 1,659 companies of the total of 7,501 IUP holders in the 12 provinces.

Based on this fact, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources together with the Corruption Erradiction Commission (KPK), working closely with other related ministries such as the Ministry of Finance, Commerce, the Internal/ Home Affairs, and the local governments since February 2014 are aggressively identifying thousands of IUP with the objective to rescue the State Finance from the business practices in the mining sector.

“Currently, there have been discrepancies between the data of the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal and the local governments regarding the number of IUP holders. Thus, the the the map of mining areas needs to be released as soon as possible, given the high potential of losses due to the violations conducted by the provincial and regional head of the districts,” the Chairman of the Natural Resources Research and Development Assessment of KPK, Dian Patria said.

The Obligation for ReclamationAccording to geologists Nadjamuddin Nawawi, there are two reasons why the outbreak of IUP issuance occurred. First, many regions are oriented to pursue local revenue through the mining sector. Second, most of the local governments do not understand

the procedures for IUP issuance and the disharmony between theregional heads in the issuance of permits due to the unclear admi-nistrative boundaries.

As a result, overlapping occurs as mentioned before. Several IUP are located in protected forest areas. Another important matter related to the issuance of IUP concerns the status of IUP from exploration to production operations. This status change must be accompanied by a study on the indication of prospect and economic value. “This is regulated by the law,” Nadjamuddin added.

Generally, production operations IUP issued by the local govern-ment covers mining in the category of C. “Rights and obligations should be clear, for example, mining companies must perform reclamation,” Nadjamuddin said.

Land overlaps can be seen from the notes resulted from IUP identification visits in Central Kalimantan conducted by KPK in February. Mining permits were issued on a 20 thousand hectares of protected forest areas, around 4,000 hectares of forest conservations, and 379 thousand hectares of HP (production forest), HPK (convertible production forest), and HPT (limited production forest). From the results of the study KPK, none of the areas in the province included the post-mining guarantee. Meanwhile the reclamation guarantee were only provided by 20 of the 845 listed IUP holders with the value of Rp5.5 billion.

Super visor y personnelApart from the reclamation, Sony Heru Prasetyo also discussed about the availability of mine inspector in the region. “The number of mine inspector in the region is very low, not in line with the number of permits issued,” Sony said.

In the perspective of Todung Mulya Lubis, a legal expert, the local government may only use its authority to provide and repeal IUP as regulated in the Regional Autonomy Law. Land overlaps need to be seriously addressed, particularly by the central government. “This problem of land overlaps may become a time-bomb with potential losses for all of us, let’s not allow this to happen,” Todung said (Koran Tempo, June, 29, 2012).

Nickel Mine activity in one area at Southeast Sulawesi

Page 26: “UU Minerba: Mengejar Nilai Tambah”

Ada komentar menyebutkan, realisasi pelarangan ekspor mineral justru menjadi pukulan bagi Indonesia. Devisa negara menyusut tajam, ekonomi melemah karena investor menutup usahanya, dan jumlah pengangguran di sektor tambang bakal melonjak. Benarkah? Mari kita hitung kemungkinan itu berdasarkan skenario yang dirancang pemerintah.

UU Minerba 2009 tidak berdiri sendiri. Regulasi ini punya turunan yang dapat meminimalisir dampak buruknya. Pertama, pemerintah telah membuat regulasi kenaikan royalti untuk produk energi dan mineral—PP No. 9 Tahun 2012 tentang Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak Sektor Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral. Tarif royalti dari sektor Minerba sela-ma ini dianggap berkontribusi sangat kecil bagi devisa negara.

“UU Minerba: Mengejar Nilai Tambah” Nilai tambah itu bisa ter wujud dalam bentuk keuntungan finansial, ekonomi, PDRB, PDB, lapangan kerja dan ketahanan mineral.

L APOR AN UTAMA

Dalam opini Irwandy Arif, Ketua Indonesia Mining Institute yang dimuat Bisnis Indonesia, 30 Desember 2013, Saat ini negara mendapat pendapatan dari kegiatan tambang nikel melalui pajak dan royalti yang besarnya sangat tergantung kepada harga nikel di pasar dan nilai produk nikel yang diekspor tersebut. Jumlah ekspor hanya menjadi salah satu dari faktor tambahan.

Dalam kurun waktu beberapa tahun terakhir, pendapatan negara dari pertambangan nikel justru cenderung berkurang meskipun volume ekspornya bertambah. Hal ini terjadi karena mayoritas nikel yang diekspor masih dalam bentuk bijih (15% dari nilai harga penjualan nikel murni).

26 Halo Vale I Edis i Apr i l 2014

Page 27: “UU Minerba: Mengejar Nilai Tambah”

Sebagai contoh, ketika harga nikel dunia melambung tinggi pada tahun 2007, besarnya pendapatan negara dari dua perusahaan penghasil utama nikel olahan, yakni PT Vale dan PT Antam, lebih dari dua kali lipat dari perkiraan pendapatan total yang diperoleh negara di tahun 2012 dari seluruh kegiatan pertambangan nikel (bijih) di Indonesia.

Padahal pada 2012 tersebut, total volume produksi tambang nikel mencapai dua kali lipat produksi 2007. Hal ini sangat menunjukkan betapa pentingnyanya peningkatan nilai tambah dan harga nikel terhadap jumlah pendapatan negara. Akhirnya, pada 2013, harga nikel menjadi semakin rendah sehingga besarnya pendapatan negara dari pertambangan nikel hampir tidak ada nilainya sama sekali meskipun tingkat produksi mencapai rekor tertinggi.

Respon PositifTak kalah menarik adalah hasil riset lembaga pemeringkat Fitch Ratings yang dirilis pertengahan Januari 2014 silam. Disebutkan, larangan ekspor mineral tambang mentah dari Indonesia tidak berdampak signifikan bagi bisnis industri di Cina. Fitch Ratings menyebut industri aluminium sebagai sampel. Memang, Cina sangat bergantung pada pasokan bauksit dari Indonesia sebagai bahan baku industri aluminiumnya. Namun Fitch Ratings menilai, Cina telah mengantisipasinya sejak lima tahun silam. “Bauksit yang telah masuk ke Cina cukup sampai satu tahun produksi. Sebab tahun 2013 lalu, impor bauksit di Cina naik 80 persen, sementara produksi alumina di Cina hanya naik 18-20 persen. Sementara mereka mendapat pasokan dari India, Papua Nugini, dan Australia,” ungkap Laura Zhai, Associate Director Fitch Ratings. Juga disebutkan, kebijakan pemerintah Indonesia tersebut tidak berdampak signifikan pada harga alumina global dan mineral lainnya. Namun Wakil Menteri Perdagangan Bayu Krisnamurthi justru menilai positif pasca-pemberlakuan penuh UU Minerba. “Aturan ini diterima oleh pasar, dan dampaknya adalah rupiah menguat terhadap dollar Amerika Serikat,” ujar dia sehari pasca-jatuh tempo UU Minerba, 13 Januari 2014. “Dollar AS dibuka dengan posisi kembali menyentuh level Rp11.000, setelah sempat nangkring cukup lama di level Rp12.000,” tambah dia.

Mark Selby, Senior Vice President of Business Development Royal Nickel Corp juga berkomentar positif. “Kebijakan Indonesia seperti tektonik bagi pasar nikel. Sebab, 25-30 persen suplai global nikel mentah telah dihentikan melalui kebijakan ini. Tentu ini akan mem-berikan harapan bagi pasar nikel. Kita lihat dalam bulan pertamadan puncaknya pada semester kedua 2015,” ujar Mark Selby seperti dilansir Mining.com, akhir Januari 2014 lalu.

Mark juga mengatakan, Cina sebenarnya tidak mampu memproduksi nikel berkualitas baik. Pasalnya, bahan baku terbaiknya selama ini disuplai dari Indonesia, yang memiliki grade antara 1,8-1,9 persen nikel dengan volume 75 persen dari total stok Cina. Sementara, Filipina sebagai andalan pemasok untuk Cina, hanya memiliki grade 1,4-1,5 persen nikel. Itu pun dengan volume hanya 10-20 persen dari total stok Cina. “Artinya, perbaikan harga nikel dunia hanya tinggal menunggu waktu,” Mark menegaskan.

Menurut Direktur Eksekutif Indonesian Resources Studies Marwan Batubara kewajiban hilirisasi bagi perusahaan tambang akan memberi nilai tambah berlipat ganda bagi negara. “Nilai tambah itu bisa terwujud dalam bentuk peningkatan nilai yang bersifat tangible dan intangible, seperti berupa keuntungan finansial, ekonomi, PDRB, PDB, lapangan kerja, dan ketahanan mineral,” ujar dia. Dia mencontohkan bila pengolahan dan pemurnian dilakukan di dalam negeri untuk nikel, bauksit, timah, besi dan tembaga, maka masing-masing nilainya akan naik sekitar 18, 30, 20, 4, dan 12 kali lipat. Angka itu belum termasuk keuntungan pengolahan produk samping, seperti adanya unsur logam tanah jarang dan logam radio aktif dari limbah tambang timah, atau unsur platina dan paladium dari limbah konsentrat tembaga.

There are people who say that banning unprocessed mineral exports will harm Indonesia. Foreign exchange will decline, the economy willweaken due to investors closing down their businesses, and unem-ployment in the mining sector will increase. Is this true? Let us calcu-late the possibility of this happening based on a scenario designed by the government.

The 2009 Mining Law is not an isolated piece of legislation. It has secondary legislations minimizing its negative impact. First, the go-vernment has created a regulation increasing royalties on energy and mineral products – Government Regulation No. 9 of 2012 on Non-tax Revenues in the Energy and Mineral Resources Sector. Royalties from mining and coal has so far contributed very little to state revenue.

Irwandy Arif, Chairperson of the Indonesia Mining Institute, was quoted by Bisnis Indonesia on 30 December 2013 as saying the state currently receives revenues from nickel mining businesses through taxes and royalties. The amount of these depend largely on the market price for nickel and nickel product exports, despite the fact that export products are merely an additional factor.

In the last few years, state revenue from nickel mining has been de-clining, although export volumes have been increasing. This is because nickel is exported in the form of nickel ore, which has a value 15% lower than pure nickel.

For example, when world nickel prices skyrocketed in 2007, state revenue from the two main producers of processed nickel – PT Vale and PT Antam – was more than double the total amount of state re-venue estimated to come from the entire ore mining industry in Indo-nesia for 2012. That year, the total production of the nickel mining industry was twice that of 2007. This demonstrates the impor-tance of nickel added value to state revenues. The drop in nickel prices in 2013 meant state revenues were extremely low, despite the fact that production levels were at a record high.

Positive ResponseNo less interesting are the research results of rating agency Fitch Ratings in mid-January 2014. The company reported that Indonesia’s ban on unprocessed mineral exports will not have a significant im-pact on the industry in China. Taking the aluminium industry as an example, Fitch Ratings, concluded that although China depended heavily on bauxite supplies from Indonesia for raw material, China has in fact anticipated this situation for the last five years. “Bauxite that has entered China is enough for one year of production. Last year, China’s bauxite imports increased by 80 percent while its alumi-na production rose just 18 to 20 percent. Meanwhile, it was receiving supplies from India, Papua New Guinea and Australia,” said Fitch Ratings Associate Director Laura Zhai. The report also mentioned that the Indonesian government’s policy would not have a significant impact on global prices of alumina and other minerals.

Deputy Minister for Trade Bayu Krisnamurthi sees the full implemen-tation of the Mining Law in a positive light. “This regulation has been accepted by the market and the effect has been a strengthening of

the rupiah against the US dollar,” he said a day after the Mining Law was fully implemented on 13 February 2014. “The US dollar opened at IDR11,000 after stagnating at IDR12,000 levels for quite a long time,” he said.

Mark Selby, Vice President of Business Development Royal Nickel Corp, also made some positive comments. Indonesia’s policy “was like a tectonic shift in the nickel market” because it stopped 25 to 30 percent of the world’s raw nickel supplies, which would surely give hope to the nickel market. “By the second half of 2015 we expect severe nickel shortages to emerge and will start seeing the first signs this month,” Mark Selby said, as reported by Mining.com, at the end of January 2014.

Mark also said that China does not, in fact, have the capability to ma-nufacture good quality nickel. This is because its best raw material supplies with a grade of 1.8 to 1.9 percent nickel come from Indone-sia, providing 75 percent of China’s total stock. Meanwhile, the Phili-ppines, which is China’s main supplier, only has 1.4 to 1.5 percent grade nickel, supplying only 10 to 20 percent of China’s total stocks.

Mark said this indicated that improvements in world nickel prices are only a matter of time. According to Executive Director of Indonesian Resources Studies Marwan Batubara, the downstream policy for mining companies will give added value to the country. “The added value that can be realized in tangible and intangible form, such as a financial benefit, economy, GRDP, GDP, employment, and mineral independency,” he said. He gave an example, when processing and refining are done domestically for nickel, bauxite, tin, iron and copper, then each mineral value will rise about 18, 30, 20, 4, and 12-fold. That number does not include the benefits of processing mineral byproducts, such as rare earth metals and radioactive metals from tin waste, platinum and palladium or elements from copper concentrate waste.

“K3? Yes…yes…yes! CSMS? Yes…yes…yes!” Terdengar teriakan penuh semangat lebih dari 400 audiens di Gedung TAB, Sorowako, 19 November 2013. Hari itu, berlangsung pencanangan CSMS (Contractor Safety Management System). Dipandu Amri AK, Direktur Pengawasan Norma Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja, Kementerian Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi, yel-yel itu seolah menyerukan komitmen PT Vale dan perusahaan kontraktor rekanannya untuk menyukseskan CSMS.

Acara berlangsung meriah dan interaktif. Selain dihadiri jajaran Kementerian Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi serta Kementerian ESDM beserta dinas-dinas terkait di tingkat Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan dan Kabupaten Luwu Timur, tampak Asisten III Pemerintahan Kabupaten Luwu Timur, jajaran manajemen dan tim CSMS PT Vale, dan perwakilan kontraktor nasional dan lokal.

Setelah bekerja lebih dari tiga bulan—mulai dari menyusun mekanisme dan aturan hingga sosialisasi—Tim CSMS resmi menerapkan mekanisme dan standar baru K3 (keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja) untuk pekerja kontraktor. CSMS diharapkan dapat memuluskan misi PT Vale sebagai perusahaan tambang di Indonesia yang zero harm dan zero accident dalam operasionalnya.

Amri mengatakan, persoalan K3 di sektor pertambangan Indonesia masih mengkhawatirkan. Data Ditjen Pengawasan Norma K3 menyebutkan, setiap hari sedikitnya delapan pekerja tambang mengalami kecelakaan kerja.

Di sisi lain, jumlah ahli K3 masih berjumlah 63.000 orang. Sementara jumlah pekerja tambang di Indonesia yang mencapai 1,6 juta orang (2013). ”Tentu hal ini menjadi tantangan yang tidak mudah,” Amri menegaskan.

Dari sisi regulasi, menurut Amri, pemerintah sebenarnya telah menerbitkan sejumlah instrumen untuk memayungi K3 agar lebih serius diterapkan di perusahaan-perusahaan tambang. Sebut saja Permenaker Nomor 5 Tahun 1996 tentang Sistem Manajemen Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja. Yang terakhir, Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 50 Tahun 2012 tentang Penerapan Sistem Manajemen Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja. ”Regulasi-regulasi tersebut merupakan jembatan bagi seluruh perusahaan, termasuk tambang di Indonesia, untuk menerapkan sistem manajemen K3,” tambah Amri.

Pemerintah juga telah menyiapkan pegawai pengawas K3 dari Dinas Ketenagakerjaan dan Transmigrasi di tingkat provinsi dan kabupaten dalam penerapan K3. ”Pengusaha dan manajemen perusahaan dapat mengandalkan pegawai pengawas K3 di daerah tersebut untuk berkonsultasi dengan mereka. Saya berharap, CSMS bisa dimanfaatkan juga oleh PT Vale untuk mendapatkan nasihat-nasihat teknis,” ujar Amri.

Penerapan CSMS PT Vale, menurut Amri, merupakan langkah maju perusahaan menuju operasional yang aman dan sehat. Hal senada diamini Ilham Munandar, Inspektur Pertambangan Direktorat Tambang dan Mineral Kementerian ESDM. ”CSMS ini sinergis dengan visi pertambangan Indonesia yang aman dan pro-lingkungan. Seperti kita ketahui, globalisasi membuat seluruh standar bisnis menjadi tinggi. Termasuk soal keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja,” ujar dia.

Ilham menambahkan, inisiatif dan penerapan CSMS di PT Vale diharapkan dapat membuat pekerja semakin aman dan selamat. Sekaligus menjadi inspirasi perusahaan tambang lainnya di Indonesia. Semua itu akan memberi nilai lebih, khususnya bagi iklim investasi di Indonesia.

Lebih DisiplinWakil Presiden Direktur PT Vale Bernardus Irmanto mengatakan, inisitif CSMS merupakan salah satu upaya PT Vale menuju operasi pertambangan yang zero harm dan zero accident. “Kami menyadari, usaha pertambangan tidak luput dari risiko kerja. Kami berharap, dengan CSMS ini bekerja aman dan selamat sejalan dengan produktivitas yang semakin baik,” ungkap dia.

Rahmania Jaisman, Safety Officer PT Hexindo Adiperkasa, perwakilan dari kontraktor, mengatakan, dengan adanya CSMS sistem K3 lebih terarah. “Bila memang dari kontraktor ada zero accident selama setahun, kami berharap bisa mendapat rewards dari Vale. Semoga dengan adanya CSMS ini, Vale maupun kontraktor semakin disiplin mengacu kepada standar-standar K3,” tambah wanita yang akrab disapa Nia ini.

Acara ditutup dengan penandatanganan Piagam Pencanangan Hari CSMS oleh dan atas nama Direktur Teknik dan Lingkungan Mineral dan Batubara Kementerian ESDM, Direktur Pengawasan Norma K3 Kementerian Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi, Presiden Direktur PT

“K3? Yes…yes…yes! CSMS? Yes…yes…yes!” The enthusiastic yells came from a 400-strong audience in the TAB Building in Sorowako in November 19th, 2013. That day, the Contractor Safety Management System (CSMS) was launched. Led by Amri AK, the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration’s Director of Work Health and Safety Norms Supervision, the yells seemed to echo the commitment of PT Vale and its contractors in making CSMS a success.

It was an exciting and interactive event. Besides officials from the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, and their related offices at the South Sulawesi Provincial level and Luwu Timur Regency level, the event was also attended by Luwu Timur Regency Assistant III, PT Vale’s management and CSMS teams, and representatives from local and national contractors.

After working for more than three months from establishing mechanisms and rules to introducing the system the CSMS team was officially implementing new work health and safety (K3) standards and mechanisms for contractor employees. The CSMS is

expected to support PT Vale’s mission to become a mining company with a zero-harm, zero-accident record in its Indonesian operations.

Amri said the situation regarding work health and safety (K3) in Indonesia was still very worrying. According to figures from the Directorate General of Work Health and Safety Norms Supervision, at least eight mining workers are involved in accidents every day.

Meanwhile, there are only 63,000 K3 experts but up to 1.6 million mining workers in Indonesia (2013). “Obviously, this is a great challenge to deal with,” Amri said.

In terms of regulations, Amri said, the government has in fact issued several edicts encompassing K3, which are intended to encourage mining companies to implement it more seriously. Take for example Manpower Ministerial Decree No. 5 of 1996 on Work Health and Safety Management Systems and, more recently, Government Regulation No. 50 of 2012 on the Application of Work Health and Safety Management Systems. “These regulations form a bridge enabling all companies including those in mining in Indonesia to implement the K3 management system,” Amri added.

CSMS Expected to Provide Added ValueThe government appreciates PT Vale’s effor ts to improve occupational safety standards.

The government has also prepared K3 supervising officers from the provincial and regency levels of the Office of Manpower and Transmigration for the implementation of K3. “Companies and company managers can rely on regional K3 supervising officers for consultative purposes. I hope the CSMS can also be used by PT Vale as a way to gain technical advice,” Amri said.

PT Vale’s implementation of the CSMS, according to Amri, was a step forward for the company in its efforts to achieve a safe and healthy operation. Similarly, Ilham Munandar, Inspector for Mining at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources’ Mining and Minerals Directorate, said: “The CSMS is in synergy with Indonesia’s mining vision, which is to be safe and pro-environment. As we know, globalization has made business standards much higher, including in terms of work health and safety,” he said.

Ilham added that the CSMS at PT Vale was initiated and implemented to make employees safe and secure; it has also become an inspiration for other mining companies in Indonesia. The system provides added value, which is particularly important in Indonesia’s current investment climate.

More Discipline PT Vale Vice President Director Bernardus Irmanto said the CSMS initiative is one of the company’s efforts at achieving a zero-harm, zero-accident mining operation. “We are aware that there are work-associated risks in the mining business. We hope that the CSMS will make working safer and more secure, and bring with it better productivity,” he said.

Rahmania Jaisman, Safety Officer for PT Hexindo Adiperkasa, who represented contractors, said the CSMS ensures a better focus on work health and safety systems. “If in fact contractors can achieve zero accidents a year, we hope this will be rewarded by Vale. Hopefully, the CSMS will encourage Vale and its contractors to be more disciplined in following K3 standards,” she added.

The event ended with the signing of a charter launching CSMS Day by and on behalf of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources’ Director of Engineering and Environment for Minerals and Coal; the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration’s Director of Work Health and Safety Norms Supervision; the president director of PT Vale; and

PT Vale dinilai pemerintah dan kaum profesional sebagai perusahaan yang memiliki visi lingkungan dan kemampuan menyusun strategi jangka panjang yang baik. Untuk itu PT Vale diganjar Sustainaible Business Awards (SBA) untuk kategori strategi dan visi terbaik, penghargaan emas dari Kementerian ESDM (Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral) untuk pengelolaan lingkungan pertambangan, dan rapor biru untuk PROPER (Program Penilaian Peringkat Kinerja Perusahaan dalam Pengelolaan) dari Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup. Untuk penghargaan SBA—yang digagas Indonesian Business Council for Sustainable Development (IBC-SD)—PT Vale dinilai menghargai upaya-upaya dan kepemimpinan dalam praktik bisnis secara berkelanjutan. Khususnya dalam visi dan strategi jangka panjang. Penghargaan diserahkan oleh Kepala Bappenas, Armida Alisjahbana, dan diterima Wakil Presiden Direktur PT Vale, Bernardus Irmanto, di Hotel Shangri-La, Jakarta.

Menurut Kepala Badan Koordinasi Penanaman Modal, Mahendra Siregar, yang hadir pada acara tersebut, perusahaan-perusahaan yang memiliki visi keberlanjutan membuat Indonesia mampu bersaing di kancah bisnis global. “Bagi Indonesia, ini tidak hanya keputusan sukarela, tapi merupakan bagian dari aksi global, dan Indonesia menjadi bagian di dalamnya. Strategi keberlanjutan adalah suatu kewajiban yang harus dilakukan pelaku usaha,” ujar dia.

Untuk penghargaan emas (Aditama) dari Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral, ada enam aspek yang dinilai menyangkut pengelolaan lingkungan, yakni

pengelolaan batuan penutup, erosi dan sedimentasi, pembibitan, reklamasi, revegetasi, sarana penunjang, dan pemantauan lingkungan pertambangan. PT Vale dinilai telah memenuhi semua persyaratan itu.

Sementara nilai biru untuk PROPER 2012-2013, PT Vale meraihnya bersama 1.039 perusahaan lainnya atau 57,98% dari 1.812 perusahaan peserta. Peringkat Biru menunjukkan, perusahaan telah melakukan upaya pengendalian potensi pencemaran dalam melindungi lingkungan. Dengan kata lain, kinerja perusahaan telah sesuai dengan peraturan yang berlaku. Tercatat, di peringkat Emas terdapat 12 perusahaan (0,67%), Hijau 113 perusahaan (6,31%), Merah 611 perusahaan (34,1%), dan Hitam 17 perusahaan (0,95%).

Menurut Menteri Lingkungan Hidup Balthasar Kambuaya, dengan PROPER diharapkan dapat mendorong pelaku bisnis di Indonesia untuk menerapkan konsep ekonomi hijau sehingga dapat menambah daya saing, memberi nilai tambah perusahaan, dan mengurangi dampak terhadap lingkungan dan ketimpangan sosial.

Program unggulan Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup ini memang bertujuan menilai ketaatan perusahaan dalam menjalankan bisnisnya berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip pembangunan berkelanjutan, efisiensi energi, konservasi sumber daya, dan beretika. Sertifikat PROPER bagi PT Vale diserahkan Gubernur Sulawesi Selatan, Syahul Yasin Limpo, di Makassar dan diterima Senior General Manager Corporate Services Abu Ashar dan Senior Coordinator Provincial Government, Asriani Amiruddin, mewakili manajemen PT Vale.

Head of the Investment Coordinating Board Mahendra Sire-gar, who was at the event, said companies carrying sustain-ability as a vision allows Indonesia to be competitive on a global scale. “For Indonesia, this is not just a voluntary act; it is part of a global action, with Indonesia being a part of that. The strategy of sustainability is compulsory for anyone doing business,” he said.

The gold Aditama award from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is based on an assessment of six aspects related to environmental management: the management of covering rocks; erosion and sedimentation; nursery; recla-mation and revegetation; support facilities; and monitoring. PT Vale is considered to have met all the requirements.

The blue mark from PROPER 2012-2013 was awarded to PT Vale as well as 1,039 other companies or 57.98% of 1,182 participants. The blue mark indicates that a company has ta-ken measures to control potential pollution in order to pro-tect the environment. In other words, the company’s perfor-mance is in accordance with existing regulations. Twelve companies (0.67%) received a Gold mark; 113 companies (6.31%) received Green; 611 companies (34.1%) received Red, and 17 companies (0.95%) received Black.

According to Minister of Environment Balthasar Kambuaya, PROPER certification encourages Indonesian businesses to apply green economic principles to increase their competitiveness, add value to their respective companies, reduce their impact on the environment, and reduce social inequity.

This leading program from the Ministry of Environment is aimed at assessing companies’ compliance with principles of sustainable development, energy efficiency, resources conservation, and ethics. The PROPER certificate for PT Vale was presented by South Sulawesi Governor Syahul Yasin Limpo, in Makassar, and accepted by Senior General Manager Corporate Services Abu Ashar and Senior Coordinator Provincial Government, Asriani Amiruddin, on behalf of the management of PT Vale.

Tiga Belas Hari Membantu Bencana ManadoTim tanggap darurat PT Vale terjun ke lok asi banjir Manado.

Yopie (41) tampak menyapu sisa-sisa banjir. Peluhnya bercucuran. Tubuhnya penuh cipratan lumpur. Yopie merupakan satu dari 32 orang tunanetra penghuni asrama Panti Sosial Tumou Tou di daerah Paal IV, Kecamatan Tikela, Manado. Pagi itu dan hari-hari sebelumnya pasca-banjir Manado, Yopie dibantu tiga petugas kantor panti tunanetra membersihkan tempat tersebut. “Berhari-hari saya dan teman-teman melakukan pekerjaan ini, tapi sepertinya tidak bersih-bersih,” ujar Yopie tersenyum miris.

Paal IV merupakan daerah di Manado yang mengalami kerusakan terparah akibat banjir yang menerjang pada Rabu pagi, 15 Januari 2014 silam. Termasuk area panti tunanetra yang dihuni sekitar ratusan orang itu. Ketinggian air berada di atas jendela, bahkan ada yang sampai di langit-langit bangunan. Alhasil, tak satu pun isi kantor dan asrama panti yang lolos dari air. Pemandangan serupa tampak pada rumah-rumah warga sekitarnya.

“Airnya cepat sekali naik waktu itu, tapi untung pagi hari. Kalau tidak, mungkin teman-teman tidak bisa menyelamatkan diri lari ke bukit di belakang panti,” timpal Ismail (28), penghuni panti tunanetra lainnya.

Ketika Halo Vale bersama Tim ERG (Emergency Response Group) PT Vale datang ke lokasi ini, hari keenam pasca-banjir, bangunan panti masih dikepung lumpur setinggi betis. Perabotan, dokumen, dan perkakas kantor panti lainnya tak ada yang selamat.

Paal IV menjadi target operasi Tim ERG Vale berdasarkan informasi yang diperoleh dari FKPA (Forum Komunikasi Pencinta Alam) Sulawesi Utara. Mereka pula yang menjadi pemandu tim di lapangan. “Tempat ini dipilih karena mereka belum mendapat bantuan, merupakan fasilitas sosial, dan dihuni para tunanetra. Kami kira ini area yang tepat untuk misi kemanusiaan Vale,” ujar Meiky Kolodam, salah satu anggota FKPA.

Kehadiran Tim ERG Vale di Paal IV memang tepat. Bantuan untuk daerah bencana itu, yang berada di perbatasan Manado dan Kabupaten Minahasa Utara, memang terlambat. “Sampai hari keempat banjir, bantuan logistik baru datang. Sedangkan medis atau tenaga bersih-bersih untuk panti belum ada,” tambah Ismail.

Di lokasi itu, selama tiga hari berturut-turut, Tim ERG Vale bergotong-royong membersihkan lumpur dan sampah di kompleks, yang memiliki lima bangunan utama. Mulai dari kantor, ruang belajar, aula, mushala, hingga ruang makan. Tim juga berinisiatif mengganti langit-langit ruang belajar. “Ruangan ini memang kami perlukan agar anak-anak asrama bisa kembali berkegiatan. Kalau menunggu dari pusat akan lama, karena kami perlu membuat proposal dan menghitung nilai kerugian tempat ini,” ungkap Hamzah, Kepala Divisi Advokasi Panti Sosial Tumou Tou sambil membersihkan lumpur.

Rentan PenyakitDi area yang sama, Tim Medis Vale memberikan pelayanan kesehatan dan pengobatan bagi korban banjir. Selama empat hari mereka menyisir lokasi. Mencari titik-titik pengungsi yang membutuhkan pengobatan. Alhasil, sedikitnya 400 warga menikmati layanan kesehatan. Salah satunya adalah Hapsa (55), warga Paal IV lingkungan 3. Sudah tiga hari wanita setengah baya ini menderita diare. ”Ini baru pertama saya mendapatkan pengobatan. Sebelumnya tidak ada bantuan medis, karena lebih banyak bantuan logistik,” ujar dia.

Menurut dr Christina N.S. Nanulaitta, Koordinator Tim Medis Vale, diare merupakan penyakit yang rentan diderita korban banjir, selain gatal-gatal, infeksi pernapasan, flu, batuk, dan infeksi karena luka gores atau tertusuk benda tajam. ”Pada pekan pertama korban banjir banyak membutuhkan makan dan pakaian bersih. Pada pekan selanjutnya, mereka lebih membutuhkan bantuan medis dan air bersih, karena wabah penyakit mulai menyebar,” ujar Christina.

Dalam misi kemanusian ini, Tim Vale membawa stok obat paten dan vitamin untuk kurang-lebih 2.000 pasien. Sedangkan perlengkapan penyelamatan dan evakuasi, terkumpul di satu unit Command 2 milik Fire & Emergency Service.

Tim GabunganTim ERG Vale bertolak ke Manado pada 18 Januari 2014. Tim terbagi dalam tiga gelombang. Tim pertama, yang dipimpin Manager Fire and Rescue Koesharjanto, terdiri atas 3 personel FES, 2 anggota DSS, dan 1 orang dari External Relations. Sedangkan tim kedua terdiri atas 3

personel RS Inco dan 1 anggota DSS. Sementara tim ketiga, yang membawa unit Command 2, menempuh jalan darat Sorowako-Manado yang berjarak 1.200 kilometer, dikawal 2 personel FES.

Pada pekan pertama, selain melakukan operasi mandiri dipandu FKPA, Tim ERG Vale membagi tim untuk bergabung dengan tim ERG perusahaan tambang lainnya dari Freeport, Berau Coal, Total E & P Indonesia, Nusa Halmahera Minerals, Maeres Soputan Mining, dan Tambang Tondano Nusajaya. Di lokasi bencana, tim ERG gabungan ini berkoordinasi dengan Kementerian ESDM (Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral) dan BNPB (Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana).

Banjir Manado telah menyebabkan 60.000 jiwa lebih mengungsi, belasan nyawa melayang, dan kerugian materil mencapai Rp1,8 triliun. Bencana juga menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi tim penyelamat dan relawan, termasuk Tim Vale. “Banyaknya akses jalan yang putus, langkanya logistik di pasar, hingga minimnya informasi daerah terdampak dan situasinya, membuat tim mengalami keterbatasan dalam membantu korban,” ujar Koesharjanto.

Kendati demikian, selama 13 hari dari 18-30 Januari, Tim Vale mampu menyisir lokasi-lokasi terdampak yang belum banyak dijamah bantuan. Dalam catatan Halo Vale, Tim Medis Vale menyebar di 4 titik seperti Paal IV (Tikela), Dusun Ternate Tanjung dan Ketang Baru (Singkil) serta Malendeng (Tikela). Sedangkan distribusi bantuan dilakukan ke Desa Kembes (Minahasa Utara) dan Malendeng (Tikela). Sementara evakuasi korban longsor dilakukan di 2 titik, Tinoor (Minahasa Utara) dan Tomohon.

Pada hari-hari terakhir di lokasi bencana, Tim Vale memberikan bantuan berupa paket obat kepada Dinas Kesehatan Provinsi Sulawesi Utara dan Puskesmas Kelurahan Kombos Timur, Kecamatan Singkil, Manado. Paket obat dan vitamin tersebut mencukupi untuk 1.000 pasien.

Menurut GM Emergency Response and EHS PT Vale Budiawansyah, Tim Vale dikirim untuk merespons permintaan Kementerian ESDM agar perusahaan tambang aktif terlibat dalam pemulihan kondisi suatu lokasi yang mengalami bencana nasional. Selain banjir Manado, Tim ERG Vale juga pernah melakukan misi kemanusiaan dalam bencana tsunami Nias (April 2005), gempa Yogyakarta (Juni 2006), gempa Padang (September

2009), dan erupsi Gunung Merapi (November 2010). []

Thirteen Days Assisting Manado Disaster VictimsPT Vale’s emergenc y response team traveled to flood stricken areas in Manado.

Yopie (41) was sweeping remains of the flood, sweat trickling down his mud-splattered body. Yopie was one of 32 visually impaired residents of the Tumou Tou Social Housing dormitories located in Paal IV, an area in Tikela Subdistrict, Manado. That morning as well as on previous days immediately after the Manado floods Yopie was assisted by three personnel from the residence for the visually impaired in carrying out his cleaning duties. “My friends and I have been doing this for days, but it doesn’t seem to get any cleaner,” Yopie said with a wry smile.

Paal IV is the area of Manado that suffered the worst damage in the floods on Wednesday morning, 15 January 2014. Within this affected area was the social housing complex, inhabited by about hundreds people. The depth of the floods exceeded window-height and in some places even reached the ceiling of buildings. As a result, none of the contents of the social housing offices and dorms were spared from the waters. A similar situation was evident at the houses of other residents.

“The floods rose very quickly at the time, but luckily it happened in the morning; otherwise, our friends would not have been able to escape to the hill behind the residence,” said Ismail (28), who also lives at the residence for the visually impaired.

When Halo Vale and PT Vale’s Emergency Response Group (ERG) team arrived at this location six days after the floods the residence was still surrounded by calf-high mud. Furniture, documents and other office equipment could not be saved.

Paal IV has become a target for the operations of Vale’s ERG Team based on information provided by the North Sulawesi FKPA (Forum Komunikasi Pencinta Alam, Nature Lovers Communication Forum),

41Edis i Apr i l 2014 I Halo Vale

who acted as on-field guides for the team. “We chose this place because they have not received assistance, and because it is a social facility housing people with visual impairment. We think this is the right area for implementing Vale’s humanitarian mission,” said Meiky Kolodam, a member of FKPA.

Susceptible to Disease In the same area, Vale’s medical team also provided health services and medication for flood victims. Combing the area for four days, the team searched for displaced people needing medication. As a result, at least 400 people received health treatment.

One of these people was Hapsa (55), a resident of Area 3 of Paal IV. For three days Hapsa had diarrhea. “This is the first time I’ve received medication. Prior to this, there was no health assistance, only logistical assistance,” she said.

According to Dr Christina N.S. Nanulaitta, the coordinator of Vale’s Medical Team, diarrhea is one of the diseases to which flood victims are susceptible. Other diseases include itching, respiratory infections, flu, coughs and infections caused by grazes or wounds from sharp objects. “In the first week, flood victims need plenty of

food and clean clothes. In the following weeks, they require more medical assistance and clean water because diseases begin to set in,” said Christina.

During this humanitarian mission, Vale’s team brought sufficient patented medicine and vitamin supplies for about 2,000 patients. Meanwhile, rescue and evacuation equipment was assembled in the Command 2 unit belonging to the Fire & Emergency Service.

Joint Team Vale’s ERG Team departed for Manado on 18 January 2014. The team went in three groups. The first team, led by Fire and Rescue Manager Koesharjanto, consisted of 3 FES personnel, 2 DSS members and 1 person from External Relations. The second team consisted of 3 personnel from Inco Hospital and 1 member of DSS. The third team, bringing Command 2 unit, traveled 1,200 kilometers by land from Sorowako to Manado and was accompanied by 2 FES personnel.

In the first week, besides conducting an independent operation with the guidance of FKPA, Vale’s ERG Team also split up to join forces with the ERG teams of Freeport, Berau Coal, Total E & P

Indonesia, Nusa Halmahera Minerals, Maeres Soputan Mining and Tambang Tondano Nusajaya mining companies. At the disaster site, this joint ERG team coordinated with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and the National Board for Disaster Management (BNPB).

The Manado floods displaced more than 60,000 people, killed dozens of victims and inflicted material losses of up to IDR1.8 trillion. The disaster also posed a challenge for rescue teams and volunteers, including Vale’s team. “Many roads were cut off and inaccessible, logistical supplies were scarce on the market and minimal information was available regarding the situation in the affected area. This meant the team was limited in its ability to assist victims,” said Koesharjanto.

Despite the circumstances, Vale’s team spent 13 days from 18th to 30th January reaching affected areas that had not yet received assistance. According to Halo Vale ‘s records, members of Vale’s Medical Team dispersed to 4 different locations: Paal IV (Tikela), the hamlets of Ternate Tanjung and Ketang Baru (Singkil) and Malendeng (Tikela). Meanwhile, assistance was distributed to the villages of Kembes (Minahasa Utara) and Malendeng (Tikela).

Evacuation of mudslide victims took place at two locations: Tinoor (Minahasa Utara) and Tomohon.

Over the last few days at the disaster site, Vale’s Team provided packages of medication to the North Sulawesi Provincial Health Office and the Community Health Center (Puskesmas) of Kombos Timur Village, Singkil Subdistrict, Manado. The medication and vitamin packages were sufficient for 1,000 patients.

According to PT Vale’s Emergency Response and EHS GM, Budiawansyah, Vale’s team was sent in response to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources’ request calling mining companies to be actively involved in the rehabilitation of areas affected by national disasters. Besides the Manado floods, Vale’s ERG Team has also been involved in humanitarian missions that assisted victims of the Nias tsunami disaster (April 2005), the Yogyakarta earthquake (June 2006), the Padang earthquake (September 2009) and the Merapi volcanic eruption (November 2010).

Setiap Warga Bisa Jadi PewartaKemampuan menulis membuat penyampaian informasi lebih akurat, menarik, dan berimbang.

Citizen journalism atau jurnalisme warga punya sejarah agak panjang.Abraham Zapruder, seorang warga biasa yang merekam detik-detik penembakan Presiden AS John F. Kennedy pada November 1963, disebut-sebut sebagai perintis jurnalisme warga. Di Indonesia, khala-yak mulai membincangkan peran masyarakat dalam penyampaian informasi saat bencana tsunami menghantam Aceh pada 2004. Nama Cut Putri, yang merekam terjangan arus tsunami dari lantai 2 rumah kerabatnya, langsung masyhur.

Video amatir Cut Putri yang ditayangkan stasiun televisi nasional membuka mata dunia internasional terhadap kedahsyatan tsunami Aceh. Sekaligus menyadarkan bahwa warga berperan penting dalam menyebarkan informasi yang penting dan akurat.

Terlebih dengan keberadaan internet dan media sosial, memungkin-kan setiap orang untuk melaporkan kejadian kepada khalayak ramai. Singkat kata, setiap warga bisa jadi pewarta. “Terkadang, berita yang disampaikan oleh warga lebih mudah ditangkap oleh publik karena menggunakan bahasa yang sama. Ada unsur lokalitas yang sulit di-tampilkan oleh jurnalis profesional dari media mainstream,” kata GM Community Relations Busman Dahlan Shirat.

Ternyata minat warga Luwu Timur untuk menjadi jurnalis warga cukup tinggi. Demi mewadahi aspirasi tersebut, PT Vale mengadakan work-shop “Citizen Journalism” di dining room Taman Antar Bangsa (TAB), 25-26 Maret 2014. “Saat ini, siapa pun bisa mengakses internet, tapibelum tentu bisa menuliskan peristiwa yang dia lihat atau dia alamiuntuk di-posting di internet. Banyak orang belum bisa mengungkap-kan gagasan ke dalam tulisan,” ungkap Busman saat membuka acara.

Bukan Hanya NarsisWorkshop yang terbuka bagi karyawan PT Vale dan masyarakat umum tersebut mendatangkan narasumber Pepih Nugraha, wartawan senior harian Kompas. Peserta berasal dari berbagai kalangan, seperti pelajar dan mahasiswa, staf Humas Pemda Luwu Timur, ibu rumah tangga, pemuda dan anggota dari berbagai komunitas seperti Ikatan Keluarga Vale Indonesia (IKVI), Asosiasi

Ibu Menyusui Indonesia (AIMI) Sorowako, dan Sicma. Dari kalangan karyawan, peserta berasal dari berbagai departemen, antara lain DSS, Utilities, ETDS, External Relations, dan Yayasan Pendidikan Sorowako.“Awalnya, peserta kami batasi 40 orang saja, tapi ternyata yang men-daftar lebih dari 60 orang. Ini membuktikan antusiasme warga untukmendalami citizen journalism,” kata Iskandar Siregar, Senior Coordina-tor Provincial Government & Media Relations PT Vale. Sepanjang duahari pelatihan, peserta diberikan berbagai materi seputar teknik pe-nulisan hingga kiat menggali ide melalui metode mind mapping. Peserta juga mendapat latihan menulis yang hasilnya dibacakan di depan peserta lain.

“Sejak berkenalan dengan blog pada 2008, saya baru sadar kalau ternyata saya suka menulis. Tapi saya hanya curhat pengalaman

pribadi yang rata-rata panjangnya dua paragraf. Sudah lama saya mencari pelatihan seperti ini, tapi baru ada sekarang,” kata Yunita Rachmuddin, Instrument Engineer dari ETDS & Central Engineering Department.

“Setelah mendapat pelatihan, saya ingin bisa menulis hal-hal yang penting dan bermanfaat, bukan sekadar narsis seperti selama ini,” lanjut ibu yang bisa menghasilkan 2-4 tulisan dalam sebulan itu. Ke-terampilan menulis juga diperlukan Yunita untuk mengelola news-letter suatu organisasi wanita Islam.

Bagi enam siswi SMA YPS, bekal teknik menulis yang mereka dapat-kan selama mengikuti workshop mendukung proses belajar dan ke-majuan Suara Siswa, majalah sekolah yang mereka kelola. ”Saya ingin

isi Suara Siswa lebih bermutu. Dan karena saya memang bercita-cita menjadi jurnalis, pelatihan seperti ini sangat berguna,” kata Mayang Tri Putri, Pemimpin Redaksi Suara Siswa yang duduk di kelas XI. Selan-jutnya, enam siswi tersebut akan membagi wawasan yang mereka da-patkan dari workshop kepada 27 orang pengurus publikasi sekolah.

Bergabung di Komunitas“Warga yang punya sikap literasi yang tinggi dan suka membaca pasti bisa menjadi jurnalis warga,” kata Pepih Nugraha, penulis buku Citizen Journalism: Pandangan Pemahaman, dan Pengalaman. Dia mengaku agak terkejut dengan antusiasme warga Sorowako dan sekitarnya untuk mempraktikkan citizen journalism.

“Daerah ini bisa dibilang terpencil tapi potensinya sangat besar. Saya berharap kegairahan masyarakat untuk menulis tidak berhenti di pelatihan ini saja, tapi akan semakin tajam dan berkembang,” kata penggagas kanal jurnalisme warga Kompasiana yang kini menghimpun lebih dari 127.000 jurnalis warga dari berbagai penjuru tanah air dan luar negeri.

Menyampaikan informasi juga bisa dipandang sebagai bentuk voluntarisme. Warga, tanpa mengharap imbalan materi, memberitakan peristiwa secara sukarela. “Menyampaikan informasi, sekecil apapun, merupakan kontribusi seseorang terhadap masyarakat luas. Dengan bekal menulis yang cukup, maka seorang warga dapat memberitakan peristiwa secara akurat, menarik, dan berimbang,” kata GM Communications Teuku Mufizar Mahmud.

Workshop dipuncaki dengan deklarasi Komunitas Pena Sorowako. Aktivitas komunitas ini akan diwadahi dalam situs penasorowako.com. Bagi Anda warga Luwu Timur yang ingin menyalurkan hobi menulis, silakan mendaftar menjadi kontributor dengan mengirimkan surat elektronik ke [email protected] untuk mulai menjadi seorang jurnalis warga.

The history of “citizen journalism” goes back a long way. Abraham Zapruder, a regular citizen who recorded the moments when American President John F. Kennedy was shot in November 1963, is considered a forerunner of citizen journalism. In Indonesia, the public played an important role in relaying information when a massive tsunami struck Aceh in 2004. Cut Putri, who recorded the tsunami’s impact from the second floor of her relative’s house, quickly became a household name.

Cut Putri’s amateur video clip which was broadcast by national television stations showed international audiences the severity of the tsunami’s impact; it also demonstrated the significant role of regular citizens in relaying important and accurate information.

With the prevalence and widespread availability of the internet and social media, it is in fact possible for any person to relay a report to the public. Everyone can be a reporter. “Sometimes the news provided by citizens are more easily received by the public because it uses the same language. Often there are local nuances that professional journalists from mainstream media find difficult to employ,” said Community Relations GM, Busman Dahlan Shirat.

It turns out there is great interest among East Luwu residents in becoming citizen journalists. To accommodate these aspirations, PT Vale held a “Citizen Journalism Workshop” in the Taman Antar Bangsa (TAB) dining room on 25-26 March 2014. “Currently, anyone can

access the internet, but not everyone can write about an incident or event they have witnessed and post it on the internet. Many people don’t yet have the skills to express their ideas in written form,” Busman said at the opening of the workshop.

Not Just Narcissism The workshop, which was open to employees of PT Vale and the public, featured senior journalist Pepih Nugraha from Kompas daily. Workshop participants consisted of students, Luwu Timur government public relations staff, housewives, youths and members of various associations such as the Vale Indonesia Family Association (IKVI), the Indonesian Association of Breastfeeding Mothers (AIMI) in Sorowako and Sicma. PT Vale employees who participated in the workshop came from the DSS, Utilities, ETDS and External Relations departments as well as Sorowako Educational Foundation (YPS).

“Initially we limited the number of participants to 40, but discovered that more than 60 had enrolled. This shows the public’s high degree of enthusiasm to engage in citizen journalism,” said Iskandar Siregar, PT Vale’s Provincial Government & Media Relations Senior Coordinator. During the two-day workshop participants were introduced to a range of material, including writing techniques and idea-formation strategies using mind maps. Participants also practiced writing and then read their results to each other.

“I became aware that I enjoyed writing after becoming familiar with blogs in 2008. But I only wrote about personal matters, which would be about two paragraphs long, on average. I have long searched for training like this, and this is the first time I have encountered it,” said Yunita Rachmuddin, an instrument engineer from ETDS & Central Engineering Department.

“After the training, I hope to write about important and useful things instead of being just narcissistic, as I have done,” said Yunita, who makes 2 to 4 blog entries a month. She also needs writing skills for managing the newsletter of the Islamic women’s organization.

The six YPS senior high school students who attended the workshop said the writing strategies they had learned would support their stu-dies and the development of Suara Siswa, a school magazine they manage. “I’d like Suara Siswa to have better content quality. I would also like to become a journalist one day, so training like this is particularly useful,” said Mayang Tri Putri, Chief Editor of Suara Siswa and a Year XI student. The six students will share the knowledge gained from the workshop with 27 members of their school publication’s management.

Join The Community “Citizens who have high literacy and enjoy reading can definitely become citizen journalists,” said Pepih Nugraha, author of Citizen Journalism: Pandangan, Pemahaman, dan Pengalaman (“Citizen Journalism: Views, Understandings and Experience”). He admits he was surprised by the high degree of enthusiasm shown by residents around Sorowako who were keen to practice citizen journalism.

“This area may be considered isolated but it has huge potential. I hope people’s enthusiasm to write will not stop when this workshop ends, but continues to grow and sharpen,” said the initiator of Kompasiana, citizen journalism site, which brings together more than 127,000 citizen journalists from around the country and overseas.

Providing information can also be considered a form of volunteerism, as citizens who do not expect material reward contribute information to others voluntarily. “Providing information, no matter how small, is a person’s contribution to the wider public. With sufficient writing skills, a citizen can report on an event in an accurate, interesting and balanced manner,” said Communications GM, Teuku Mufizar Mahmud.

The highlight of the workshop was a declaration by the Sorowako Pen Community. This group would compile all its activities on penasorowako.com. If you are a resident of Luwu Timur and enjoy writing as a hobby, please enroll as a contributor by sending an email to [email protected] and start becoming a citizen journalist. []

HR Sosialisasi Buku Benefit KaryawanPerlu rutin menggelar pertemuan sejenis untuk mendengar masukan dari kar yawan.

Guna melakukan pemerataan informasi terkait hak-hak pekerja, HR Process & Industrial Relations Management PT Vale melakukan sosialisasi Buku Benefit Karyawan pada 16-17 Desember lalu di Gedung Ontaeluwu. Hari pertama sosialisasi dihadiri karyawan staf senior, sedangkan hari kedua ditujukan bagi karyawan tingkat staf.

Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk menjawab masukan karyawan akan perlunya transparansi kebijakan dan menjaring masukan untuk HR dan manajemen. Khususnya mengenai aturan benefit karyawan yang dijalankan.

Acara yang berlangsung interaktif tersebut dipandu oleh Tri Rachman Batara, Internal Communications Specialist. Bertindak sebagai pemateri adalah Manager of Compensation & Benefit I Wayan Gede Dewantara dan GM HR Process & Industrial Relations Respati Bayu Aji.

Wayan menyampaikan poin-poin penting yang diatur dalam buku benefit karyawan, yang berlaku sejak 1 Januari 2014. Misalnya soal pengaturan dan ketentuan pemberian kompensasi, promosi, penyesuaian jenjang, kerja shift, pemakaman, pinjaman perumahan, hingga soal pendidikan anak keluarga PT Vale.

Pada sesi tanya-jawab, beragam pandangan muncul dari audiens. Mulai soal sistem penilaian kinerja dan kompetensi yang berhubungan dengan penyesuaian tunjangan, promosi, mutasi, maupun rekrutmen pekerja. Ada pula yang mempertanyakan soal penghitungan uang lembur bagi pekerja shift di hari libur.

Ada pula audiens yang memberikan masukan agar pening-katan kompetensi karyawan menjadi prioritas perusahaan. “Sebab ini merupakan salah satu nilai perusahaan, value our people,” ujar audiens. Melihat banyaknya masukan dari audiens tersebut, HR be-rencana melakukan perbaikan sistem yang lebih baik ke depan. Selain itu, akan digelar kegiatan lanjutan melalui pertemuan sejenis untuk mendengarkan masukan dari karyawan. Menurut Muhamad Fadli dari Departmen MSE (Mechanical Services Engineer), pertemuan ini sangat bagus dan pen-ting bagi karyawan dan manajemen agar informasi merata dan transparan. Namun, akan lebih baik bila pembahasan dilakukan secara case by case sesuai PKB dan buku benefit tersebut.

Buku benefit karyawan PT Vale dapat diakses melalui laman HR di intranet dengan alamat: http://pti-appsrv7/HumanResources/doclib.aspx. []

HR Introduces Employee Benefit Book Similar routine gatherings are important for gaining feedback from employees.

PT Vale’s Human Resources (HR) Process & Industrial Relations Management has introduced an Employee Benefit Book to better disseminate information to employees regarding their rights. The introduction was held on 16-17 December at the Ontaeluwu Building. The first day was attended by senior staff members, while the second day saw staff-level employees.

The event was a response to employee feedback calling for more transparency on company policies and was also aimed at gathering feedback for HR and management, particularly about guidelines on existing employee benefits.

Moderated by Internal Communications Specialist TriRachman Batara, the interactive event featured presenta-tions by Manager of Compensation & Benefit I Wayan Gede Dewantara and HR GM Process & Industrial Relations Respati Bayu Aji.

Wayan explained some important points in the employee benefit book which would start to take effect as of 1 January 2014. These include rules and regulations on compensation, promotions, level adjustments, shift work, funerals, housing loans, and education benefits for the children of PT Vale employees.

The question and answer session featured various opinions from the audience on a variety of issues, starting from competence and performance evaluation systems relating to allowance adjustments, promotions and mutations, to the recruitment of new employees. There were also questions on the calculation of overtime payment for shift workers working during holidays.

The audience also suggested that the company place priority on upgrading employees’ competence. “This one of the company’s values, value our people,” the audience said. The amount of audience feedback has prompted HR to improve its systems. There will also be similar events to follow up from this one so more employee voices can be heard.

According to Muhamad Fadli from the Mechanical Services Engineering Department, the meeting was very good and very important for both employees and management personnel as it allowed information to be disseminated evenly and transparently. However, it would be even better if the discussions followed a case-by-case format based on the existing collective labor agreement (PKB) and new benefit book.

PT Vale’s employee benefit book can be accessed through the HR’s intranet pages at http://pti-appsrv7/HumanResources/doclib.aspx. []

ATMOSFER

Siapa tak kenal Spider Man? Manusia laba-laba yang lihai melompat dari gedung tinggi ke gedung tinggi untuk menangkap penjahat dan menyelamatkan dunia. Tahun ini, Spider Man menjadi duta Earth Hour, suatu gerakan global untuk menangkal perubahan iklim. Spider Man mengajak warga dunia untuk berkontribusi dalam misi penyelamatan Bumi.

Menjelang akhir Maret setiap tahun, gerakan Earth Hour menyatukan masyarakat dunia untuk berkomitmen menghemat energi dengan cara mematikan lampu dan alat elektronik selama 1 jam. Tahun ke-6 di Indonesia, Earth Hour 2014 diselenggarakan 29 Maret 2014 lalu pukul 20.30-21.30 waktu setempat.

Mengusung tagline “Use Your Power”, bukan hanya Spider Man yang punya kekuatan super. Tiap individu juga punya kekuatan untuk melakukan perubahan. Cukup satu jari untuk mematikan saklar lampu di siang hari, cukup sebelah tangan untuk membuang sampah pada tempatnya, cukup satu manusia untuk menanam sebatang pohon, dan masih banyak lagi.

Kampanye KreatifHanya ada dua kota di Sulawesi Selatan yang berpartisipasi dalam Earth Hour: Makassar dan Sorowako. Warga Sorowako patut berbangga menjadi bagian dari 7.000 kota di lebih dari 160 negara di dunia yang ambil bagian dalam aksi penyelamatan Bumi. Kampanye Earth Hour di Sorowako dilaksanakan sejak akhir Februari hingga penghujung Maret 2014.

Mengulang sukses tahun lalu, kampanye keliling dilakukan di sekolah-sekolah, baik sekolah dalam lingkup Yayasan Pendidikan Sorowako (YPS), sekolah negeri, maupun sekolah swasta. Kampanye berlangsung mulai 26 Februari hingga 7 Maret 2014.

Di TK YPS, misalnya, puluhan siswa dan siswi antusias menyaksikan video potongan aksi Spidern Man dan tayangan Earth Hour di Sorowako tahun 2013. “Kampanye ini sejalan dengan character building siswa TK YPS yang salah satunya adalah menjadi agen penyelamat lingkungan. Kami sangat mengapresiasi gerakan Earth Hour,” kata Pettaoti, guru TK YPS.

Windyar Cahyani, guru pendamping di sekolah yang sama mengatakan, kampanye ini menguatkan program “Kamis Bersih” atau Thursday Clean yang dilakukan TK YPS. Setiap Kamis, para siswa membantu cleaner atau gardener untuk membuang sampah atau memungut daun-daun kering.

Dari satu gerakan kecil di Sidney, Australia, tahun 2007, kini Earth Hour menjelma menjadi kampanye global yang melibatkan warga dunia. Bahkan, Earth Hour telah mewujud menjadi suatu kampanye kreatif yang merangkul semua kalangan. Tahun lalu, kampanye di Sorowako terpilih menjadi salah satu kampanye paling kreatif di Indonesia karena menyentuh lebih dari 4.000 siswa sekolah.

Bijak Kertas, Hemat Air“Tahun 2014, ada empat fokus dalam Earth Hour. Bijak membuang dan mengolah sampah, gunakan transporasi umum, bijak peng-gunaan kertas dan tisu, serta hemat energi dan air. Jadi event Earth Hour di seluruh kota, termasuk Sorowako, akan terpusat pada

empat isu tersebut,” kata Andi Batari Astini Sjamsu, Senior Coor-dinator of External for Government Relations yang menjadi Koor-dinator Earth Hour Kota Sorowako.

Untuk aksi “Bijak Kertas”, karyawan PT Vale dan masyarakat diminta mengumpulkan sampah kertas. Setelah ditimbang, terkumpul 130 kg kertas bekas yang akan disumbangkan ke Sorowako Green Community, kelompok usaha yang mengolah sampah kertas menjadi karya seni. Usai penimbangan kertas, masyarakat diajak membersihkan Dermaga Sorowako. Sementara anak-anak menggambar di atas kertas bekas yang baru terpakai satu sisi dan membuat prakarya dari hasil gambar masing-masing.

Earth Hour juga mengingatkan warga Sorowako untuk mensyukuri berkah yang tidak dimiliki kebanyakan daerah lain di Indonesia, bahkan di dunia, yaitu Danau Matano. Danau terdalam di Asia Tenggara ini menjadi kebanggaan serta ikon Sorowako. Salah satu wujud rasa syukur adalah melestarikan sumber air bersih dan menjaga keindahan Danau Matano.

Pada event bersih danau yang digelar pada Minggu pagi, 23 Maret, masyarakat diajak untuk memungut sampah plastik di sekitar area danau. Hermawanto, warga asli Sorowako sekaligus karyawan PT Vale dari Departemen Construction Services, dan keluarganya adalah salah satu peserta bersih danau yang tampak paling antusias. “Sebagai warga asli, saya merasa punya tanggung jawab lebih untuk menjaga Danau Matano. Bagi saya, danau ini karunia Tuhan yang luar biasa dan harus kita jaga. Saya selalu berpesan kepada anak-anak untuk tidak membuang sampah di danau,” kata Hermawanto yang terpilih sebagai salah satu pengumpul sampah terbanyak pagi itu. Sorowako Diving Club juga menurunkan para penyelam mereka untuk mengambil sampah yang tenggelam hingga kedalaman 5 meter.

Ini Aksiku!Puncak acara Earth Hour Sorowako 2014 dilaksanakan di gedung pertemuan Ontaeluwu pada 29 Maret. Pemadaman lampu secara simbolis dilakukan oleh Wapresdir PT Vale Bernardus Irmanto dan SGM of Operational Improvement Mario Paventi, tepat pukul 20.30 WITA.

Ditemani nyala lilin, audiens dari berbagai kelompok usia disuguhi tontonan menarik, mulai dari tari tradisional hingga musik akustik. Di sela-sela pertunjukan, panitia memanaskan suasana dengan mengajak audiens meneriakkan yel “Ini Aksiku! Mana Aksimu?” sambil bergoyang mengikuti irama “Feel Again” dari One Republic yang menjadi lagu tema Earth Hour 2014.

Andy Ridley, CEO dan Co-founder Earth Hour, menyatakan, 2014 Earth Hour 2014 boleh dikatakan terbesar dan terpenting. Ya, setiap orang bisa melakukan hal-hal besar untuk planet kita tercinta. Dengan kekuatan jari-jari untuk menekan tombol keyboard komputer, manusia di Bumi bisa membantu penyediaan energi bio-gas di Nepal, menyelamatkan Sungai Amazon, mencegah konflik antara manusia dan satwa liar di India, membantu polisi hutan yang bertugas melindungi cagar alam di Indonesia, dan sebagainya. Beberapa proyek dipimpin langsung oleh sutradara dan pemeran utama The Amazing Spider Man 2.

Ya, seperti Spider Man, setiap orang bisa menjadi pahlawan super untuk menyelamatkan Bumi. Ayo, kita terapkan gaya hidup hijau

dalam keseharian. Sampai jumpa di Earth Hour 2015! []

Who doesn’t know Spider Man, the spider-human who cleverly jumps from a tall building to another to catch criminals and save the world? This year, Spider Man becomes the ambassador of Earth Hour, a global movement to tackle climate change. Spider Man invites the citizens of the world to contribute to the mission of saving the Earth.

Towards the end of March each year, the Earth Hour movement unites the communities of the world to commit to save energy by turning off lights and electronic equipment for 1 hour. The 6th Earth Hour in Indonesia was held last March 29, 2014 at 20:30 to 21:30 local time.

With the tagline “Use Your Power”, not only Spider Man has super strength. Each individual also has the power to make changes. Only one finger is required to turn off the light switches in the daylight, only one hand is needed to dispose waste in the waste bin, only one human is required to plant a tree, and many more.

In this year, the event is focused on four issues.

Creative CampaignThere were only two cities in South Sulawesi participating in Earth Hour: Makassar and Sorowako. The community of Sorowako should be proud to be part of the 7,000 cities in more than 160 countries in the world that took part in the action of saving the Earth. In Sorowako, Earth Hour campaigns were conducted since the end of February until the end of March 2014.

Repeating last year’s success, campaigns were conducted in schools, both in the schools within the scope of Sorowako Education Foundation (YPS), public schools, and private schools. The campaigns were performed from February 26 to March 7, 2014.In YPS Kindergarten, for example, the students enthusiastically watched the video clips of Spider Man’s actions as well as the 2013 Earth Hour in Sorowako. “This campaign is in line with the character building conducted to the YPS kindergarten students, one of which is to be an agent of environmental savior. We greatly appreciate the Earth Hour movement,” Pettaoti who is a teacher in YPS Kindergarten, said.

Windyar Cahyani, teacher assistant at the same school said, the campaign reinforces the program “Clean Thursday” applied by YPS Kindergarten. Every Thursday, the students help cleaners or gardeners taking out the trash or picking up the dry leaves.

From a small movement in Sydney, Australia, in 2007, Earth Hour has now transformed into a global campaign involving citizens of the world. In fact, Earth Hour has became a creative campaign that embraces all people. Last year, the campaign in Sorowako was selected to be one of the most creative campaigns in Indonesia because it touched more than 4,000 school students.

Wise Use of Paper, S ave Water”In 2014, Earth Hour was focused on four issues. Wise disposal and processing of waste, usage of public transportation, wise use of paper and tissue, as well as saving energy and water. Thus, the event Earth Hour throughout the city, including Sorowako, will focus on those four issues,” said Andi Batari Astini Sjamsu, Senior Coordinator of Government Relations. For the action ”Wise Use if Paper”, employees of PT Vale and the people of the community were asked to collect waste paper. After being weighed, 130 kg of waste paper was able to be collected and was donated to Sorowako Green Community, a business group that process waste paper into works of art. After weighing the paper, the people were invited to clean Sorowako Port. Meanwhile the children drew on the waste paper which were only used in one side as well as made craft.

Earth Hour also reminded the community of Sorowako to be grateful for the blessing of Lake Matano, a blessing that most areas in Indonesia, even in the world, do not have. This lake which is the deepest in Southeast Asia is a source of pride and an icon of Sorowako . One form of gratitude is to preserve fresh water resources and preserve the beauty of Lake Matano.

In the event ”Clean the Lake” held on Sunday morning , March 23, the people of the community were invited to collect plastic waste around the lake area. Hermawanto, native of Sorowako as well as an employee of the Department of Construction Services of PT Vale and his family was one of the participants of ”Clean the Lake” who seemed to be the most enthusiastic. ”As a native, I feel I have more responsibility to preserve Lake Matano. For me, the lake is an incredible gift of God which we must take care. I always tell the children not to throw garbage in the lake,” said Hermawanto, who was selected to be one of the people to collected the most garbage that morning. The Sorowako Diving Club also fielded their divers to collect the garbage that sank within the depth of 5 meters.

This is My Act!The highlight of the 2014 Earth Hour in Sorowako was performed in Ontaeluwu building on March 29. Lights blackout was symbolically performed by the Vice President of PT Vale, Bernard Irmanto and SGM of Operational Improvement, Mario Paventi, in exactly 20:30 of local time.

Accompanied by candlelight, the audiences of all ages were treated with interesting performances, from traditional dance to acoustic music. In between the performances, the committee heated the atmosphere by inviting the audience to scream out the yell ”This is my act! Where is your action?” while swaying to the rhythm of ”Feel Again” from One Republic which became the theme song of Earth Hour 2014.

Andy Ridley, CEO and Co-founder of Earth Hour, said the 2014 Earth Hour was considered to be the largest and the most important. Yes, everyone can do great things for our beloved planet. We have the power to support a variety of environmental projects through crowdsourcing and crowd-funding. With the strength of the fingers to press the computer keyboard, humans on Earth can help bio-gas energy supply in Nepal, save the Amazon River, prevent conflicts between the humans and wildlife in India, as well as help rangers to protect the wildlife sanctuaries in Indonesia, and so on. Some projects are directly led by the director and the main cast of The Amazing Spider Man 2.

Yes, like Spider Man, everyone can be a superhero to save the planet. Come on, let’s apply green lifestyle in our daily life. See you

in Earth Hour 2015! []

Cerita Misdar, Cerita Pomalaa Perlu bijak mendekati masyarakat.

PROFIL

Pomalaa Project PT Vale, mungkin kita sudah sering mendengarnya. Namun cerita tentang proyek di Sulawesi Tenggara itu, minim orang tahu. Untuk itu Halo Vale mengangkat profil Misdar. Pria inilah yang mendapat amanah perusahaan sebagai Goverment and External Relations di Pomalaa Project.

Pomalaa Project, kata Misdar, sebenarnya sudah berjalan sejak pertengahan 2000-an. Ketika itu PT Vale menjalin kerja sama dengan PT Antam. Bisnisnya berupa eksplorasi dan operasi sejak Agustus 2005. Proyek ini, yang berada di bawah payung Cooperative Resouces Agreement (CRA), bertujuan untuk mensuplai biji saprolite ore.

Pomalaa kini menjadi pusat perhatian. Apalagi volume produksi PT Vale-Antam ketika itu bisa mencapai satu juta ton per tahun. Banyak pekerja datang ke tempat tersebut. Setidaknya terdapat 68 orang pekerja PT Vale dan PT Ingold, divisi ekplorasi PT Vale dalam proyek tersebut. Harapan masyarakat setempat dan pemerintah daerah pun tumbuh. Namun proyek suplai biji saprolite ore itu berumur pendek. Hanya tiga tahun berjalan. Pada Juli 2008 berakhir.

Pasca-proyek bersama Antam, PT Vale menjalin kerja sama dengan Sumitomo Metal Mining. Menurut Misdar, bentuk konkret proyek ini adalah pembangunan smelter dan refinery berteknologi HPAL (high pressure acid leach), sebagai upaya memenuhi kewajiban Kontrak Karya. Saat ini, ada 3 orang karyawan Vale dan 27 kontraktor yang berada di camp support untuk mendukung proyek ini.

Lalu kegiataan apa yang berlangsung di Pomalaa Project sekarang ini? ”Kami masih fokus ke studi dan mempersiapkan perizinan baik di pusat maupun di daerah,” ujar pria yang telah menangani Pomala Project sejak April 2003 ini. Beberapa perizinan itu, antara lain, analisis dampak lingkungan (Amdal) dan Izin Pinjam Pakai Kawasan Hutan (IPPKH). ”Dengan kata lain, kami hanya studi di sini. Namun PT Vale juga telah melakukan mine rehabilitation dan program Comdev,” ungkap Misdar.

”Bagi saya, kerja di mana punpasti ada risikonya. Tapi sepanjang kita ikhlas, bekerja maksimal dan bertanggung jawab, hasilnya insya Allah membawa berkah buat saya dan keluarga.”

Kok lama sekali studinya? Untuk bisnis jangka panjang dan strategis seperti itu, lumrah bila PT Vale perlu ekstra hati-hati. Apalagi Pomalaa Project itu ibarat pilot project. Tantangan pekerjaan bukan hanya soal pengurusan izin, tapi juga bagaimana melakukan pendekatan dengan masyarakat.

Dinilai PositifDi lapangan, Misdar menemui beragam penilaian masyarakat dan pemerintah setempat atas usaha bisnis PT Vale itu. ”Khususnya pasca-kerja sama dengan Antam, banyak warga kehilangan mata pencaharian, kehilangan kesempatan berusaha, dan terputusnya alih teknologi. Sedangkan dari sisi pemerintah setempat, kehilangan sumber pendapatan dari pajak dan sebagainya,” ujar pria kelahiran 10 Agustus 1969 ini.

”Penilaian masyarakat terhadap PT Vale secara umum positif. Masyarakat merasakan manfaat keberadaan perusahaan, terutama yang terlibat langsung dalam aktivitas. Namun ada juga yang mempertanyakan mengapa PT Vale tak kunjung merealisasikan proyeknya,” ujar Misdar lebih jauh.

Situasi itu semakin kompleks ketika Pomalaa—termasuk di wilayah konsesi PT Vale—kemudian menjadi wilayah bidikan perusahaan-perusahaan tambang yang melakukan eksploitasi dan ekspor bahan mentah dalam lima tahun terakhir.

”Yang dapat kami lakukan adalah menyampaikan informasi kepada masyarakat bahwa penambangan liar menimbulkan dampak buruk terhadap lingkungan. Sedangkan bila pembangunan pabrik PT Vale terealisasi, akan mendatangkan manfaat yang lebih,” ungkap Misdar.

Namun upaya itu tidak selalu berjalan mulus. Ada kalanya Misdardan tim Pomala Project perlu memutar otak ekstra dalam menyam-paikan informasi agar dapat diterima masyarakat. Bahwa PT Vale memiliki standar ketat dalam usaha tambang dan bisnisnya. ”Misal-nya, soal sistem penerimaan tenaga kerja, mekanisme permintaan bantuan, dan sebagainya. Tidak mudah menjelaskan kepada me-reka. Mungkin karena harapan mereka terhadap perusahaan terlalu besar,” tambah dia.

Soal standar tenaga kerja, Misdar punya pengalaman menarik. Sua-tu hari dia berbelanja sayur untuk persediaan dapur. Dia meminta asisten rumahnya agar sayuran itu dicuci dan disimpan di dalam kulkas. ”Tapi ketika malam saya mau masak, sayuran sudah kaku dan berwarna hitam karena dimasukannya ke dalam freezer,” ujar pria penyuka ikan bakar ini geli. Menurut dia, masyarakat awam perlu waktu untuk mempelajari dan mengetahui sesuatu yang baru.

Teror juga menjadi salah satu tantangan di Pomalaa Project. Pernah pada suatu malam Misdar didatangi segerombolan pencuri kayu yang mabuk dan bersenjata tajam di area konsesi. Mereka meminta akses jalan dibuka agar mereka bisa lolos dari kejaran aparat.

Namun Misdar bergeming. ”Bagi saya, kerja di mana pun pasti adarisikonya. Tapi sepanjang kita ikhlas, bekerja maksimal dan bertang-gung jawab, hasilnya insyaallah membawa berkah buat saya dan keluarga,” ujar suami Darmawati yang telah dikaruniai tiga anak ini. []

The Story of Misdar, the Story of the Pomalaa ProjectGood judgment is vital when approaching communities.

P R O F I L E

58 Halo Vale I Edis i Apr i l 2014

We probably often hear about PT Vale’s Pomalaa Project, but few people know the story behind the project located in Southeast Sulawesi. It was for this rea-son that Halo Vale decided to feature the profile of Misdar, the man appointed by the company as a Goverment and External Relations employee to deal with government relations and community relations in the Pomala Project.

According to Misdar, the Pomalaa Project has been underway since the mid-2000s. At the time, PT Vale collaborated with PT Antam in the busi-ness of exploration and operations; this started in August 2005. Placed under the broad Cooperative Resources Agreement (CRA) umbrella, the project was aimed at supplying saprolite ore.

Pomalaa then became the center of attention, more so because PT Vale-Antam was able to produce up to one million tons a year. Many people came to work there and at least 68 workers were employed by PT Vale and PT Ingold PT Vale’s exploration division in the project. The hopes of local communities and governments grew. But the saprolite ore project was short lived, ending after three years, in 2008.

With the end of the collaboration with Antam, PT Vale embarked on a venture with Sumitomo Metal Mining. Misdar said the project involved the construction of a smelter and refinery utilizing high pressure acid leach technology (HPAL), a re-quirement under the Contract of Work. Currently, 3 Vale employees and 27 contractors act as camp support to assist the project.

So what is happening at the Pomalaa Project these days? “We are still focused on studying and pre-paring licenses, both at the central and local levels,” said Misdar, who has dealt with the Pomala Project since April 2003. Among these licenses are the environmental impact analysis (EIA) and Forest Area Borrow To Use Permits (IPPKH). “In other words, we are only conducting studies here. But PT Vale has also carried out mine rehabilitation work and Commdev programs,” Misdar said.

Why are the studies taking so long? For a long-term, strategic business like this, it is understandable that PT Vale chooses to act cautiously, particu-larly when the Pomala Project is considered a pilot project. Licensing issues are not the project’s only challenge; it is equally challenging to know how best to approach community members.

Rated Positive On the field, Misdar comes face to face with a variety of views from the local community and government officials regarding PT Vale’s business ven-ture. “After the collaboration with Antam, it emerged that many community members lost their jobs, their business opportunities and they experi-enced a cut in the transfer of technology. Meanwhile, local authorities lost a source of tax revenue and so on,” said Misdar, who was born on 10 Au-gust 1969.

“Generally, the community rates PT Vale quite positively. Community members, particularly those who are directly involved in activities, feel they benefit from the company’s presence. But there are others asking why PT Vale has still not implemented the project,” Misdar continued.

Then there came an added layer of complexity when Pomalaa, which is located in PT Vale’s concession area, later became the target of several other mining companies that started exploiting and exporting raw material five years ago.

“What we can do is inform the community that illegal mining destroys the environment. If the construction of PT Vale’s factory be- comes a reality, they will reap greater benefits,” said Misdar.

But efforts like these are not always easy to perform. There are times when Misdar and the Pomalaa Project team must think extra hard about how to provide information that is acceptable to the community that PT Vale has strict standards in conduct- ing its mining and business operations. “This includes issues such as employee recruitment, assistance request mechanisms, and so on. It’s not easy to explain these things to them. Perhaps it’s because their expectations of the company are too high,” he added.

Misdar has an interesting experience regarding employee standards. One day he bought some vegetables to stock up on his kitchen supplies. He asked his domestic helper to wash and sto- re the vegetables in the fridge. “But when I was about to cook that night, the vegetables had stif- fened and gone black because they were placed in the freezer,” he said with a chuckle. He pointed out that the public needs time to learn and understand something new.

Terror is another thing that poses a challenge to the Pomalaa Project. One night, Misdar was approached by a group of armed, intoxicated log thieves in the concession area. The demanded that road access be given so they co- uld flee the authorities. Misdar did not give in to their de- mands. “For me, every job has its risk. But if we work sin- cerely, maximally and responsibly, the results,God willing, will be a blessing for me and my family,” said Misdar, the husband of Darmawati and father of three. []

SCV Mewariskan Jiwa SosialSemangat untuk membantu sesama dari generasi ke generasi.

Agak sulit melacak jejak sejarah komunitas ini. Pertama, karena penggagasnya adalah para ekspatriat yang sudah kembali ke negara masing-masing. Kedua, komunitas ini sudah berusia cukup tua sehingga tidak banyak yang tahu rekam perjalanannya. Kini, para pengurus baru berupaya menyebarkan kembali jiwa asih yang pada dasarnya dimiliki setiap insan.

Sorowako Community Volunteer atau disingkat SCV, berdiri tahun 1977, sembilan tahun setelah PT Vale beroperasi, yang waktu itu bernama PT Inco. Bermula dari suami-istri ekspatriat, Dr Mik Hohnen dan Janet Hohnen, yang waktu itu kerap menjelajahi perkampungan Sorowako dan sekitarnya. Mereka, bersama perawat berkebangsaan Kanada, memberikan bantuan-bantuan kecil kepada penduduk setempat.

Sejak saat itu, kegiatan voluntarisme yang dijalankan pasangan Hohnen diteruskan oleh karyawan maupun istri karyawan PT Vale yang mayoritas warga negara asing. Kegiatan SCV berfokus pada pendidikan dan kesehatan, dimotori oleh para perempuan. Yang paling sering dilakukan adalah penggalangan dana untuk bermacam donasi, misalnya untuk donasi sarana mengajar di taman kanak-kanak hingga membantu pengobatan penderita bibir sumbing. Program lain seperti seminar kesehatan, menjadi sukarelawan pengajar bahasa Inggris, dan memberi bantuan kepada korban bencana alam.

Kegiatan milk run, yaitu program pemberian makanan tambahan bagi bayi dan Balita (bawah lima tahun) berat badan rendah, rutin dilakukan selama puluhan tahun. Pada Oktober 2009, misalnya, pengurus dan anggota SCV berkunjung ke rumah satu keluarga di Wasuponda yang memiliki Batita (bawah tiga tahun) 18 bulan dengan berat badan hanya 3,5 kg. Batita itu juga tunarungu. Sukarelawan SCV membawanya ke RS PT Inco dan mensponsori perawatan.

TerbukaKegiatan SCV sempat terhenti pertengahan 2012 lalu, namun segera terpilih pengurus baru yang berjumlah 18. “Karena ini organisasi turun-temurun sejak ibu-ibu PT Inco, maka ketuanya

harus dari PT Vale. Tapi pengurus dan anggotanya bisa dari kontraktor atau siapa saja. Yang penting punya semangat untuk membantu orang lain,” kata Erlina Yuliarti, Ketua SCV periode 2014-2015. Berbeda dari kepengurusan sebelumnya, kali ini SCV didominasi warga pribumi.

Tahun ini, komunitas yang kerap mengadakan garage sale dan bazar makanan untuk menggalang dana ini, akan memfokuskan bantuan kesehatan dan pendidikan ke Desa Matano, Nuha, Tabarano, dan ke permukiman masyarakat Dongi di Wasuponda. “Kami akan visit kampoong untuk mengetahui apa saja yang bisa dibantu di empat desa tersebut,” kata Erlina.

Ada tiga program utama SCV, yaitu program pendidikan berbasis masyarakat, program kesehatan, dan program wirausaha bagi kelompok ibu dan perempuan. Bantuan untuk kegiatan pendidikan anak usia dini, program budaya membaca, dan membantu pengentasan buta aksara menjadi prioritas di bidang pendidikan. ”Dari pengalaman yang sudah ada, kebanyakan orang bukannya tidak mampu, melainkan tidak tahu atau kurang ilmu. Maka kegiatan sosial perlu memperbanyak porsi ke sisi edukasi,” kata Erlina.

Sementara untuk program kesehatan dititikberatkan pada kegiatan penyuluhan, donor darah, program tanaman obat, dan mengganti milk run dengan penyuluhan ASI dan gizi Balita. Bagi kelompok ibu serta perempuan yang tertarik berwirausaha, SCV berencana mengadakan pelatihan orientasi usaha, program keterampilan, dan berbagai seminar.

Dalam menjalankan misinya, SCV menggandeng RS Inco dan Asosiasi Ibu Menyusui Indonesia (AIMI) Ranting Sorowako untuk kegiatan seperti sosialisasi gizi dan penyuluhan ASI. Di bidang pendidikan, SCV bekerja sama dengan Yayasan Pendidikan Sorowako (YPS) memberikan pelatihan bagi guru TK di desa-desa.

Warisan MuliaMenjadi sukarelawan perlu semangat besar, bahkan pengorbanan. Tidak jarang para sukarelawan harus meninggalkan keluarga untuk berkegiatan di lokasi yang jauh. Belum lagi komitmen untuk meluangkan waktu, menyumbangkan tenaga, ide, dan tentu saja dana. Tanpa keinginan kuat dan jiwa voluntarisme, cita-cita mulia SCV mustahil terwujud.

”Ketika bisa membantu orang lain, saya bersyukur diberi kesempatan berbagi dan melakukan perubahan, walaupun kecil, agar mereka yang kurang beruntung dapat hidup lebih baik. Saya sadar, kita tidak hidup sendiri. Maka kita wajib saling membantu,” kata Erlina yang sehari-hari bekerja sebagai Senior IT Business Partner di PT Vale.

SCV berupaya menjaga tongkat estafet kegiatan sosial dari generasi ke generasi. Setelah hampir empat dekade, semangat membantu sesama itu terus dipompa. ”Secara pribadi, saya punya keinginan kuat agar organisasi warisan para pendiri dan pengurus lama ini bisa terus berlanjut,” tutur Erlina.

Karena itu, pengurus SCV kini menyiapkan dokumen sebagai panduan, terutama cara mengedukasi masyarakat yang akan berguna bagi pengurus-pengurus berikutnya agar tetap bisa berkontribusi terhadap masyarakat sekitar Sorowako. Berkontribusi terhadap perbaikan pendidikan, kesehatan ibu dan anak, serta perbaikan ekonomi, itu tujuan utamanya. []

SCV Passes Down Social Conscience There is a passion to help others, from one generation to the next.

It was slightly difficult to trace the history of this community firstly, because its founders were expatriates who had returned to their respective countries; secondly, because very few people know of its journey, due to the community being quite old. Now, the association’s new managers are trying to rekindle the spirit of compassion, which can be found in the heart of every person.

Sorowako Community Volunteer, or SCV, was established in 1977, nine years after PT Vale called PT Inco at the time started operations. It started with an expatriate husband and wife couple, Dr Mik Hohnen and Janet Hohnen, who often explored the streets of Sorowako and surrounding areas. Along with a Canadian nurse, they gave small amounts of assistance to locals.

Since then, the spirit of volunteerism demonstrated by the Hohnens was passed down by PT Vale employees and wives of employees, most of whom were foreigners. The SCV focuses on education and health, which are driven by the women in the group. Most of the time, the group conducts fundraising activities resulting in various donations, from providing teaching facilities for preschools to assisting with the treatment of cleft lip patients. Other programs include hosting health seminars, volunteering to teach English, and providing assistance to victims of natural disasters.

A milk run program, which involves giving food supplements to underweight infants and toddlers (i.e., under 5 years old), has been conducted routinely for decades. In October 2009, for example, SCV members

and organizers visited a family in Wasuponda who had an 18-month-old baby weighing it at just 3.5 g. The toddler was also deaf. SCF volunteers brought the toddler to PT Inco Hospital and sponsored the baby’s treatment.

Open

There was a period in mid-2012 when the activities of SCVhalted temporarily, but a new group of 18 organizers were soon elected. “Because this organization has been passed down from one generation of PT Inco women to the next, the chair will always come from PT Vale. Other organizers and committee members, however, can come from contrac-tors or other organizations. The main thing is they are pas-sionate about helping others,” said Erlina Yuliarti, SCV Chair-person for the 2014 to 2015 period. Unlike previous years,

SCV’s management this time will consist pre-dominantly of indigenous Indonesians.

A frequent organizer of garage sales and food bazaar fun-draisers, SCV plans to focus its health and education assis-tance on communities in the villages of Matano, Nuha and Tabarano as well as on residents of Dongi in Wasuponda. “We will visit the villages to see how we can help them,” Erlina said.

SCV has three main programs: an educational community-based program; a health program; and an entrepreneurial program for women. The main priorities for education are early childhood education, literature reading, and illiteracy eradication. “Based on experience, it is not that people ‘can’t’ it is more that people ‘don’t know’ or don’t have enough knowledge. That’s why we should increase the portion of education in our social activities,” Erlina said.

In the area of health, priority will go to counseling, donating blood, planting medicinal plants and replacing milk runs with counseling on breastfeeding and child nutrition. To assist women’s groups interested in entrepreneurship, SCV will hold training sessions on business orientation, skills programs and various seminars.

In carrying out its missions, SCV will collaborate with PT Inco Hospital and the Sorowako Chapter of the Indonesian Association of Breastfeeding Mothers (AIMI) for activities like nutrition and breastfeeding counseling. SCV will cooperate with the Sorowako Educational Foundation (YPS) to train preschool teachers in villages.

A Valuable Heritage To be a volunteer requires great passion, even sacrifice. Volunteers must often leave their families so they can be involved in activities in faraway places. Also, they need to commit to spending time, energy, ideas and, of course, money. Without a strong passion for volunteerism, SCV’s noble ideals cannot be achieved.

“When helping others, I feel grateful for having the oppor-tunity to share and make a change, even a small one, so those who are less fortunate can live better. I am aware that we don’t live alone, so we need to help each other,” said Erlina, who works as a Senior IT Business Partner for PT Vale.

SCV strives to pass on its social activism from generation to generation. For almost four decades, the spirit of helping others has continued to thrive. “Personally, I have a strong desire to maintain the continuation of this organization, which has been passed down from its founders and previous management,” said Erlina.

For this reason, SCV’s current management is preparing guidelines and documents on how to educate the community, which will be useful for future managers and allow them to continue contributing to communities around Sorowako. And that is the main goal: to contribute to improving education, the health of mother and child, and the economy. []

Makan Ikan untuk Jantung SehatBagi orang S ulawesi, mak an ik an sudah jadi kebiasaan sehari-hari. Ternyata kebiasaan ini menyehatk an jantung.

Penyakit jantung koroner merupakan penyebab kematian terbanyak di dunia, termasuk di tanah air. Angka kematian penderita jantung koroner di Indonesia mencapai 7,6 juta jiwa per tahun. Penyakit ini terjadi bila pembuluh darah arteri koroner, yakni pembuluh darah jantung yang menyuplai makanan bagi sel-sel jantung, tersumbat atau menyempit karena endapan lemak yang menumpuk di dinding arteri.

Kurangnya pasokan darah karena penyempitan arteri koroner mengakibatkan nyeri dada. Bila darah tidak mengalir sama sekali karena arteri koroner tersumbat, penderita dapat mengalami serangan jantung yang mematikan. Serangan jantung dapat terjadi kapan saja, bahkan ketika sedang beristirahat.

Beberapa faktor risiko memicu timbulnya penyakit jantung koroner. Ada yang tidak dapat diubah tapi banyak faktor yang bisa diminimalkan. Sekitar 82 persen kematian akibat penyakit jantung koroner terjadi pada mereka yang berusia di atas 65 tahun. Pria memiliki risiko lebih besar terkena serangan jantung dibandingkan wanita.

Risiko wanita terkena penyakit jantung meningkat setelah memasuki masa menopause, tapi jumlahnya masih di bawah kaum pria. Anak-anak yang memiliki orangtua dengan riwayat penyakit jantung punya risiko lebih besar saat beranjak dewasa. Ras kulit hitam, Latin, dan Asia juga puna faktor risiko lebih tinggi dibandingkan orang Kaukasia.

Karena kita tidak dapat mencegah pertambahan usia, tidak dapat memilih jenis kelamin dan ras, serta tidak dapat menghapus riwayat keluarga, bukan berarti kita harus pasrah menerima nasib. Justru faktor risiko terbesar adalah gaya hidup tidak sehat, yang tentunya bisa kita ubah.

Pilih Jenis dan Cara Mengolah Ikan Ikan merupakan bagian penting dari menu makan sehat. Suatu analisis terha- dap 20 studi yang melibatkan ratusan ribu partisipan mengindikasikan, kon- sumsi ikan dapat mengurangi risiko kematian akibat penyakit jantung hingga 36 persen. Itu berkat lemak tak jenuh yang terkandung di dalam ikan yang di- sebut asam lemak omega-3.

Ikan menangkal penyakit jantung dengan beberapa cara. Omega-3 melindungi jantung dari ketidakteraturan irama denyut yang berpotensi mematikan. Asam lemak tersebut juga menurunkan tekanan darah, mengoptimalkan fungsi pem- buluh darah, dan menekan kadar trigliserida.

Asam lemak omega-3 dapat mengurangi peradangan di seluruh tubuh.Perada- ngan bisa merusak pembuluh darah yang memicu penyakit jantung. Sudah sejak lama American Heart Association merekomendasikan konsumsi ikan mi- nimal dua kali seminggu. Konsumsi ikan dalam porsi tersebut oleh banyak penelitian disimpulkan dapat menurunkan risiko penyakit jantung hingga sepertiganya. Selain asam lemak omega-3, ikan dan berbagai jenis makanan laut lainnya kaya nutrien lain seper- ti vitamin D, selenium, serta protein.

Tuna dan salmon adalah jenis ikan yang mengandung banyak asam lemak omega-3. Kebanyakan ikan dan makanan laut memi-liki kadar omega-3 lebih tinggi dibandingkan ikan air tawar. Beberapa jenis ikan, seperti ikan nila dan ikan lele, mempunyai kan-dungan lemak jenuh yang relatif tinggi sehingga tidak dianjurkan untuk dikonsumsi secara rutin. Hindari konsumsi ikan hiu, ikan todak, dan makarel raja karena kandungan merkuri yang tinggi.

Selain jenisnya, cara mengolah ikan juga memengaruhi nilai gizi. Ikan yang direbus, dipanggang, atau dibakar lebih sehat diban-dingkan ikan yang digoreng kering. Pilih bumbu yang rendah sodium dan rendah lemak saat memasak ikan.

Jenis makanan lain seperti kedelai beserta olahannya seperti tahu dan tempe, kenari, dan beberapa jenis minyak sayur juga me-ngandung asam lemak omega-3. Studi epidemiologi skala besar menunjukkan, kelompok dengan risiko penyakit jantung koro-ner dapat memetik manfaat dari konsumsi asam lemak omega-3 berbasis makanan laut dan tumbuhan. Bagi pasien jantung ko-roner, ada baiknya berkonsultasi dengan dokter seputar konsumsi suplemen omega-3.

Olahraga dan Kurangi stresKonsumsi ikan bukan satu-satunya cara untuk mencegah atau memperlambat laju penyakit jantung koroner. Berhenti merokok adalah anjuran utama, karena nikotin menekan pembuluh darah dan memaksa jantung bekerja lebih keras. Risiko serangan jan-tung akan menurun saat kebiasaan me-rokok dihentikan.

Aktivitas fisik tak kalah penting. Olahraga rutin 30 menit setiap hari akan memberi perubahan besar dalam kualitas hidup. Jika Anda penggemar makanan berlemak, ada baiknya pelan-pelan beralih ke makanan sehat, yaitu sayur, buah, dan makanan ren-dah lemak, rendah kolesterol, serta rendah sodium.

Mengelola stres juga perlu untuk menyehat-kan jantung. Tak bisa dipungkiri, stres me-mang bagian dari hidup. Namun jika tidak dikelola dan dibiarkan menumpuk, stres bisa berujung pada masalah emosional, psikolo-gi, dan fisik, termasuk penyakit jantung.

Stres memicu tubuh untuk melepas hormon adrenalin, hormon yang mempercepat irama napas dan detak jantung serta menaikkan tekanan darah. Dalam keadaan stres, kemungkinan besar seseorang akan makan dalam porsi berlebihan, malas berolahraga, kurang tidur, merokok, atau minum alkohol,sehingga kadar gula, tekanan darah, dan le-vel kolesterol melonjak. Studi juga menyata-kan bahwa stres mengubah mekanisme pem-bekuan darah yang meningkatkan risiko serangan jantung. []

LIMA KOMITMEN UNTUK JANTUNG SEHAT

1. Berhenti Merokok 2. Olahraga Teratur 3. Turunkan Berat Badan Berlebih

4. Makan Makanan Bergizi

5. Kurangi Stres

WASPADA SEJAK MUDA

Penyakit jantung koroner hingga satu dekade lalu masih “dimonopoli” oleh orang tua, terutama mereka yang berusia 60 tahun ke atas. Namun sekarang ada kecenderungan penyakit tersebut menjangkiti kelompok usia 40-an. Sebuah penelitian dari University of Minnessota, Amerika Serikat, membuktikan hal tersebut. Hampir setengah dari partisipan yang meninggal dunia adalah pria di bawah umur 48 tahun.

Di Indonesia, hal yang serupa terjadi. Data RS Harapan Kita yang menjadi rujukan nasional untuk penyakit jantung dan pembuluh darah menyebutkan, terjadi pergeseran usia pasien jantung koroner. Lima tahun lalu, rata-rata usia pasien 40-60 tahun, kini bergeser ke usia lebih muda, yaitu 30 tahun. Gaya hidup menjadi penyebabnya. Pola makan yang tidak sehat, kurang beraktivitas, dan tingkat stres yang tinggi ditengarai menjadi asal mula penyakit jantung koroner di kalangan muda.

Eat Fish for a Healthy Heart For the people of Sulawesi, eating fish is daily practice. It turns out this habit is good for the heart.

Coronary heart disease is the cause of the highest number of deaths in the world, including Indonesia, where up to 7.6 mil-lion sufferers of coronary heart disease die each year. The di-sease occurs when the coronary arteries that is, blood ves-sels that supply blood to the heart are clogged or beco-me narrow due to a buildup of fat along the inner walls of the arteries.

The lack of blood supply resulting from the narrowingof coronary arteries causes chest pains. If blood is un-able to flow due to the blocked arteries, the patient may have a heart attack, which can be fatal. Heart attacks can happen at any time, including when a patient is resting.

There are several factors that may increase the risk of coronary heart disease; some of these cannot be changed, but many can be minimized. About 82 per-cent of people who die of coronary heart disease are aged over 65 years old. Men have a higher risk of ha-ving a heart attack than women.

The chance of women having a heart attack increases with the start of menopause, but it is still lower than for men. Children whose parents have a history of heart dise-ase are at higher risk as they enter adulthood. People of African, Latin American and Asian descent also have a higher risk compared to Caucasians.

We cannot avoid becoming older, nor can we choose our gender, ethnicity or genetic history, but this does not mean we should leave things to fate. In fact, the biggest risk factor is an unhealthy lifestyle which is something we can change.

Choosing Type and Cooking Method for FishFish is an important part of a healthy diet. An analysis of 20 studies involving hundreds of thousands of participants indicates that con-suming fish can reduce the risk of death from heart disease by 36 percent. This is thanks to the unsaturated fat content of fish known as omega-3 fatty acids.

There are several ways that fish can prevent heart disease. Omega-3 protects the heart from disturbances in the rhythm of the heartbeat, which can be potentially fatal. The fatty acid can reduce blood pressure, optimize the function of arteries, and suppress triglyceride levels.

Omega-3 fatty acids can also reduce inflammation in the body, which can potentially damage arteries and trigger heart disease. The American Heart Associa- tion has long recommended the consumption of fish at least twice a week; this amount can reduce the risk of heart disease by one-third, according to experts. Besides containing omega-3 fatty acids, fish and other seafood are rich in other nutrients, such as vitamin D, selenium and protein.

Tuna and salmon are fish with high ome- ga-3 fatty acid content. The omega-3 con- tent of most saltwater fish and seafood is higher than that of freshwater fish. Some fish, such as tilapia and catfish, contain relatively high levels of saturated fat so it is not recommended to consume them regularly. Avoid shark, swordfish and kingfish mackerel because they contain high levels of mercury.

Besides the type of fish, nutrition value is also affected by how the fish is cooked. Fish that is steamed or gril- led is healthier than fish that is fried to a crisp. Choose spices that are low in sodium and fat when cooking the fish.

Other types of food, such as soybeans and soybean products like tofu and tempeh, as well as walnuts and several vegetable oils also contain omega-3 fatty acids. Large scale epidemiological studies show that groups with a risk of coronary heart disease can benefit from consuming omega-3 fatty acids derived rom sea and plant-based foods. It is recommended that patients of coronary heart disease consult their doctor regard- ing their consumption of omega-3 supplements.

FIVE COMMITMENTS FOR A HEALTHY HEART

1. Quit Smoking 2. Exercise Regularly. 3. Lose excessive body weight.

4. Eat healthy food. 5. Reduce Stress

BE ALERT FROM AN EARLY AGE

Until a decade ago, coronary heart disease was in the domain of the elderly, particularly those aged 60 years and over. Now, there is a tendency for the disease to affect those in their 40s. A study by the University of Minnesota, US, shows evidence of this with men under the age of 48 making up almost half the number of participants who had died.

A similar trend can be seen in Indonesia. According to data from Harapan Kita Hospital, which is the national referral hospital for heart and artery disease, there has been a shift in the age of coronary heart patients. Five years ago, the average age of patients was 40 to 60 years; now it is 30 years. Lifestyle is the main reason for this. Unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise and high levels of stress are considered the reasons behind the prevalence of coronary heart disease among young people.

Exercise and Reduce StressEating fish is not the only way to prevent or delay the onset of coronary heart disease. The main advice is to quit smoking, because nicotine puts pressure on the arteries and forces the heart to work harder. The risk of a heart attack decreases when smoking stops.

Physical activity is no less important. Exercising on a regular basis for 30 minutes a day will make a big difference in quality of life. If you like fatty foods, it is best to gradually shift to healthy food such as vegetables, fruit and food with low levels of fat, cholesterol and sodium.

Managing stress is also necessary to maintain a healthy heart. Stress is, undeniably, a part of life. However, if not managed well and allowed to pile up, stress can lead to emotional, psychological and physical problems, including heart disease.

Stress triggers the body to release adrenaline, a hormone that accelerates heartbeat and breathing rhythms and increases blood pressure. Under stressful conditions, a person is most likely to eat excessively, be too lazy to exercise, suffer from lack of sleep and engage in smoking or drinking alcohol, all of which can result in a sharp jump in blood pressure and sugar and cholesterol levels. Studies also show that stress changes the mechanism by which blood coagulates, thus increasing the risk of a heart attack. []
