Kisah Miris Siswa di Sulsel Berenang dan Arungi Sungai ke Sekolah

Kisah Miris Siswa di Sulsel Berenang dan Arungi Sungai ke Sekolah

Maros – Demi meraih cita-cita, pelajar Sekolah Dasar (SD) dan Sekolah Menengah (SMP) dusun Damma, Desa Bonto Matinggi, Kecamatan Tompobulu, Sulawesi Selatan rela bertaruh nyawa dengan menyeberangi sungai yang dalam dan deras.

Mereka tidak punya pilihan lain, lantaran satu-satunya akses yang bisa mereka lalui, hanya di sungai itu saja. Saat hujan deras dan membuat sungai meluap, mereka terpaksa meliburkan diri karena sungai itu tidak bisa diarungi lagi. Tak hanya mereka, ratusan warga pun ikut terisolir.

Mirisnya, kondisi ini sudah dialami warga sejak dulu. Namun, tidak pernah mendapatkan perhatian serius dari pemerintah. Jembatan yang telah dibuat tahun 2015 lalu juga tidak kunjung rampung hingga saat ini.

“Kondisi ini sudah sejak awal adanya kampung kami di sini. Setiap hari, baik warga maupun anak sekolah bertaruh nyawa menyeberang sungai ini. Kita tida punya pilihan lain, karena ini satu-satunya jalan,” kata seorang warga, Abdullah saat ditemui, Minggu (8/4/2018).

Beberapa tahun lalu, seorang ibu yang membawa dua anaknya menyeberang sungai itu, hanyut dan semua ditemukan dalam kondisi meninggal dunia. Tak hanya itu, seorang warga yang meninggal dunia tidak disalatkan karena tidak satupun pemuka agama yang datang karena kondisi air deras.

“Kami juga heran kenapa jembatan itu tidak kunjung dirampungkan, padahal sungai ini sudah menelan korban. Penderitaan warga di seberang sungai sangat berat karena kadang mereka terisolir kalau airnya tinggi,” lanjutnya.

Saat detikcom berkunjung ke lokasi itu, siswa yang baru saja pulang dari sekolahnya menyeberang sungai dengan menggunakan ban yang ditarik oleh siswa lainnya. Itupun hanya ada satu-satunya ban, sehingga siswa itu harus bolak-balik menjemput.

Ban itu hanya boleh dinaiki oleh siswa yang masih duduk di bangku Sekolah Dasar dan juga pelajar perempuan. Siswa lainnya, berenang sambil membawa tas mereka dengan menggunakan satu tangan. Bahkan, beberapa dari mereka pun terseret arus hingga beberapa meter dari tempat awal mereka berenang.

“Ban ini dinaiki untuk anak SD sama anak perempuan saja, karena kita takut mereka terseret. Mereka semua bisa berenang. Tapi airnya memang deras dan dalam, jadi kita gunakan ban sebagai bantuan,” kata seorang siswa SMP kelas 2, Iskandar.

Bagi mereka, rasa takut saat bertaruh nyawa menyeberangi sungai itu adalah bagian dari perjuangan meraih cita-cita. Iskandar yang bercita-cita menjadi guru bermaksud membuka sekolah di kampungnya agar hal yang ia alami saat ini tidak lagi dirasakan oleh anak-anak lain.

“Saya mau jadi guru, biar nanti saya buka sekolah di kampung saya. Saya tidak mau melihat lagi anak-anak nantinya seperti kami ini. Kalau dibilang takut, pasti adalah. Tapi harus bagaimana lagi. Ini kita anggap satu perjuangan,” sungkapnya.

Saat ini, baik siswa maupun warga, sangat berharap jembatan itu segera dirampungkan. Jembatan itu merupakan satu-satunya harapan mereka untuk melanjutkan kehidupan mereka yang lebih baik. Pasalnya, tak jarang hasil pertanian dan kebun mereka tidak bisa dijual karena tidak ada akses. (nkn/nkn)

The government started enforcing a ban on transport trucks on main highways in the country on Wednesday to help minimize traffic during the annual exodus ahead of the Idul Fitri holiday.

The ban will be applied on all national roads and toll roads on Java and in Lampung for trucks that weigh more than 14 tons, have more than three axles and have trailers attached.

“It will be effective from June 21 at 12 midnight to June 29 at 12 midnight [at the beginning of June 30],” Transportation Ministry spokesperson J.A. Barata said in an official statement on Wednesday.

The ministry has installed the signs indicating the ban on transport trucks along all national roads and toll roads on Java Island. “We also have coordinated with the police over enforcement. The police are authorized to exercise discretion over certain trucks to pass if the traffic is light,” Barata added.

Transport trucks carrying materials like sand, soil, minerals and coal have already been barred from the main roads since June 18 until July 3. However, exceptions have been applied to trucks carrying fuel, livestock, postal deliveries and staple foods.

Passive Voice

Functions of the Passive Voice
The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or object that experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs the action. In other words, the most important thing or person becomes the subject of the sentence.
Examples
• The passive voice is used frequently. (= we are interested in the passive voice, not in who uses it.)
• The house was built in 1654. (= we are interested in the house, not in who built it.)
• The road is being repaired. (= we are interested in the road, not in the people who are doing the repairs.)
Sometimes we use the passive voice because we don’t know or do not want to express who performed the action.

Examples
• I noticed that a window had been left open.
• Every year thousands of people are killed on our roads.
• All the cookies have been eaten.
• My car has been stolen!
The passive voice is often used in formal texts. Switching to the active voice will make your writing clearer and easier to read.
Passive Active
A great deal of meaning is conveyed by a few well-chosen words. A few well-chosen words convey a great deal of meaning.
Our planet is wrapped in a mass of gases. A mass of gases wrap around our planet.
Waste materials are disposed of in a variety of ways. The city disposes of waste materials in a variety of ways.
If we want to say who or what performs the action while using the passive voice, we use the preposition by. When we know who performed the action and are interested in him, it is always better to switch to the active voice instead.
Passive Active
“A Hard Day’s Night” was written by the Beatles. The Beatles wrote “A Hard Day’s Night”.
The movie ET was directed by Spielberg. Spielberg directed the movie ET.
This house was built by my father. My father built this house.
Read more about the passive voice and active equivalents for all English verb tenses.
Forming the passive voice

the appropriate form of the verb ‘to be’ + past participle

These houses were built in 1899. These houses weren’t built in 1899. Were these houses built in 1899? Weren’t these houses built in 1899?

Passive voice with infinitives

Examples
• You have to be tested on your English grammar.
• John might be promoted next year.
• She wants to be invited to the party.
• I expect to be surprised on my birthday.

• The children are excited to be taken to the zoo.
• Most film stars hate being interviewed.
• Most film stars hate to be interviewed.
• Poodles like to be pampered.
• Poodles like being pampered.
Using “to be born”
“To be born” is an passive form and is most commonly used in the past tense. However, in some cases, the present or future tense is appropriate.
Examples
• I was born in 1976.
• Where were you born?
• Around 100 babies are born in this hospital every week.
• We don’t know on exactly which day the baby will be born.
Sometimes the passive is formed using the verb to get or to have instead of the verb to be. A separate page deals with these alternative ways to form the passive voice.

Matikan Lampu dan Bersiap Lihat Fenomena Langit Langka 6 Agustus

Milky Way di langit Selandia Baru. (Rob Dickinson/Caters)Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Masyarakat perkotaan dunia kini jarang bahkan tak dapat melihat malam langit gelap bertabur bintang, akibat polusi cahaya yang makin parah. Hal itu disebabkan karena berhamburnya cahaya lampu kota yang menyebabkan langit tampak terang, sehingga mengalahkan cahaya bintang.

Atas hal tersebut, Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional (Lapan), mengimbau masyarakat di seluruh Indonesia untuk mematikan lampu yang berada di luar ruangan pada Sabtu, 6 Agustus 2016, pukul 20.00-21.00 waktu setempat.

Kegiatan itu merupakan kampanye “Malam Langit Gelap” untuk membangun kesadaran masyarakat tentang menyelamatkan malam dari polusi cahaya yang telah mengubur keindahan langit malam.

Kampanye itu dipilih sebagai bagian aksi keantariksaan karena dianggap mudah diikuti oleh masyarakat, layaknya gerhana 9 Maret yang banyak diminati.

“Gerhana Matahari total pada 9 Maret lalu menunjukkan antusiasme masyarakat kita di seluruh Indonesia dan mereka menikmatinya,” ujar Ketua Lapan, Thomas Djamaluddin, dalam pencanangan “Malam Langit Gelap”, Jumat (5/8/2016).

Pemilihan tanggal 6 Agustus sendiri selain memperingati Hari Keantariksaan, juga terkait dengan musim kemarau pada bulan Agustus, sehingga berpeluang besar untuk mengamati langit yang cerah bertabur bintang kalau gangguan polusi cahaya diminimalkan.

Lalu apa pemandangan ‘langka’ yang terjadi pada malam 6 Agustus 2016?

Untuk sebagian besar masyarakat, khususnya mereka yang tinggal di perkotaan, menatap langit malam berhias Galaksi Bima Sakti atau Milky Waymerupakan hal langka.

Namun jika seluruh masyarakat secara kompak dapat mematikan lampu luar ruangan, maka bukan hal yang mustahil jika langit malam berhias Galaksi Bima Sakti dapat dinikmati.

“Ada Galaksi Bima Sakti, ada rasi-rasi bintang yang menarik perhatian. Saat kita bisa mengurangi polusi cahaya, diharap bisa mengembalikan melihat keindahan langit,” tutur Thomas.

Selain itu, Thomas juga menuturkan sejumlah rasi bintang lain yang bisa dilihat, yakni Angsa (Cygnus) di langit Utara dengan Segitiga Musim Panas (Summer Triangle) serta tiga bintang terang di sekitar rasi Angsa: Vega, Deneb, dan Altair. Di langit Selatan pun terlihat rasi Layang-Layang atau Salib Selatan (Crux), yang sering digunakan sebagai penunjuk arah Selatan.

Tersangka Utama Bom Bangkok Dikabarkan Berada di Turki

Polisi melakukan olah tempat kejadian perkara ledakan bom yang berdekatan dengan Kuil Erawan, di pusat kota Bangkok, Thailand, Selasa 18 Agustus 2015. Ledakan tersebut menewaskan puluhan orang.

SRIPOKU.COM, BANGKOK – Kepolisian Thailand mengatakan seorang tersangka utama peledakan bom di sebuah kuil di ibu kota negara itu bulan lalu diketahui sudah masuk ke Turki.

Juru bicara Kepolisian Thailand Prawut Thavornsiri mengatakan berdasarkan informasi yang dihimpun kepolisian negara itu dan pejabat Bangladesh, tersangka Abudusataer Abudureheman meninggalkan bandar udara Bangkok malam sebelum ledakan pada 17 Agustus.

Dengan menggunakan paspor China, ia terbang ke Bangladesh. Pihak berwenang Bangladesh mengatakan berdasarkan catatan keimigrasian, Abudureheman atau juga dikenal dengan nama Izan bertolak ke India dua minggu berikutnya.

Dikatakan oleh Thavornsiri, Abudureheman dari Provinsi Xinjiang itu kemudian melanjutkan perjalanan dari New Delhi, melewati Abu Dhabi dengan tujuan Istanbul, Turki.

Ia adalah pelaku kedua dari Xinjiang yang dijadikan tersangka dalam pengeboman yang menewaskan 20 orang. Yang pertama ditangkap di perbatasan Thailand-Kamboja awal bulan ini.

Untuk melacak tersangka, Thailand mengaku sudah memberitahu Kedutaan Turki di Bangkok.

Sebelumnya, Kepolisian Malaysia menangkap tiga orang terkait ledakan di kuil di ibu kota Thailand itu. Mereka adalah dua warga negara Malaysia dan seorang warga Pakistan.

Ini Alasan Tony Abbott Didesak Mundur sebagai PM Australia

Ini Alasan Tony Abbott Didesak Mundur sebagai PM Australia

SRIPOKU.COM — Pergantian ini digambarkan sebagai “penusukan dari depan” – serangan brutal terhadap sang pemimpin oleh Malcolm Turnbull yang sudah lama mendambakan duduk sebagai perdana menteri Australia.

Desas-desus bahwa kabinet dan anggota parlemen dari partai yang memerintah kembali khawatir tentang kinerja Tony Abbott sudah beredar sejak awal pekan lalu.

Daftar yang bocor, berisi nama-nama menteri yang ingin disingkirkan oleh Abbott, dilaporkan membuat banyak orang di kabinet marah.

Lantas pada Senin, dua jajak pendapat umum yang diselenggarakan oleh dua perusahaan media besar menunjukkan kemungkinan akan ada banyak suara yang beralih dari partai pemerintah dalam pemilihan sela di Western Australia Sabtu mendatang (19/09/2015).

Ketika Turnbull yang menjabat sebagai menteri komunikasi mengumumkan niatnya untuk menantang Tony Abbott pada Senin sore (14/09/2015), ia berbicara jujur.

Dalam pemungutan internal partai, Perdana Menteri Tony Abbott dikalahkan oleh Turnbulll sebagai pemimpin Partai Liberal yang berkuasa. Dengan demikian Turnbull akan menjadi perdana menteri selanjutnya.

Kepada para wartawan, ia mengatakan bila Abbott tetap berkuasa, koalisi Nasional-Liberal akan kalah dalam pemilihan umum yang dijadwalkan akan digelar pertengahan tahun depan.

Ditambahkannya, perdana menteri gagal membuat terobosan ekonomi; kehilangan kepercayaan di sektor bisnis; gagal membeberkan tantangan dan peluang yang dihadapi bangsa; dan mengembangkan kebijakan sambil berjalan.

Pengalaman partai buruh
Bagaimanapun, banyak orang di dalam koalisi sudah mewanti-wanti agar Tony Abbott tidak dilengserkan agar tidak sampai mengalami bencana kemimpinan seperti yang terjadi pada pemerintahan Partai Buruh sebelumnya.

Kala itu, Wakil PM Julia Gillard menggusur pemimpinnya Kevin Rudd, tetapi tak lama kemudian Rudd balik melengserkan Gillard. Rudd akhirnya dihukum oleh pemilih dalam pemilihan umum tahun 2013.

Lantas bagaimana Partai Liberal mengalami persoalan ini?

Pemerintah menjalani bulan-bulan pertama dengan baik dua tahun lalu.

Pemerintah mewujudkan janji pemilu untuk mencabut pajak bagi para emitor gas rumah kaca terbesar di negara itu atau dikenal dengan nama pajak karbon. Pemerintah juga mencabut 30% pajak keuntungan dari batu bara dan biji besi.

Kebijakan imigrasi yang ketat, termasuk mengusir perahu-perahu yang membawa imigran dan memaksa kembali ke perairan Indonesia, memang mampu mengerem arus pencari suaka.

Langkah itu disambut masyarakat Australia tetapi mantra Abbot yang menyebutkan bahwa ia “menghentikan perahu” dan “memotong pajak” akhirnya tidak mujarab lagi.

Ketidakmampuannya menjelaskan langkah-langkah pengetatan anggaran dan kegagalannya meyakinkan senat untuk menyetujui penghematan anggaran tercermin dalam berbagai jajak pendapat.
