'Reshuffle' is the word of the day
On Monday, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) announced the much-awaited reshuffle for the economic team with seasoned technocrat Budiono replacing Aburizal Bakrie as the coordinating minister for the economy.
The announcement was made at Gedung Agung Presidential Palace in Yogyakarta, once served as Indonesian capital during the independence struggle against the Dutch colonial power.
Aburizal, however, will retain the coordinating minister position being named the Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare replacing Alwi Shihab.
Susilo said Alwi was named as his advisor and special envoy for cooperation with Middle East countries as well as the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) and the Islamic Development Bank (IDB).
Another minister being called out the Cabinet is Minister of Finance Jusuf Anwar who is going to be named as ambassador to "an important country."
Jusuf is replaced by Sri Mulyani Indriyani who was State Minister of Development Planning and chairwoman of the National Development Planning Board (Bappenas).
Mulyani is replaced by Golkar Party politican Paskah Suzetta, currently chairman of the Commission XI for Finance Affairs at the House of Representatives (DPR).
Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Fahmi Idris is replacing Andung Nitimihardja as Minister of Industry.
Fahmi is replaced by Erman Soeparno, a politician from the National Awakening Party (PKB). Erman was the deputy chairman of House' Comission V for Communication and Infrastructure.
These new ministers were sworn in on Wednesday afternoon at the Merdeka Presidential Palace.
Well, I don't really give a damn about their new positions as long as they can make Indonesia out of this prolonged crisis. Which is doubtful especially for Aburizal a.k.a Ical who was born with a silver spoon on his mouth. It's quite a change from a very rich tycoon to a minister taking care of people's welfare. Poor people, sick people, those being sidelined all this time.
This afternoon, just after the new ministers were sworn in, my chief editor Endy M. Bayuni announced his own version of the reshuffle. And a drastic one, I may say, affecting almost every desk editors. But the ever-optimists will say this as a full rotation.
yan moves to sports from business replacing brc who will head the new department of front page. rei will return to business as desk editor together with hen as deputy editor. jsk will replace hen in supplement while pan replaces rei in national. dey will replace lin as "chief farang" or check desk editor because lin is moved to supplement.
kan will replace jsk as sunday editor while emf will move from features bneing promoted as city editor replacing kan. asa will replace emf as features deputy editor. bnt will also join feature at the moment. hhr will move to archipelago as desk editor because the editorial management has decided to separate archipelago from national desk. Then, imn will go to the front page and will be replaced by adm. amd will also move to opinion replacing mds who is, again, promoted as managing editor.
Hmmm, I hope I have included everyone.
*** A-ha..... I forgot to continue that mds will replace hbk who will replace rt as head of training department. rt will earn his fully deserved retirement. ***
The only desk not affected is world. anj stays as world editor, ivy deputy and aps reporter.
jsr keeps features editor, bby stays as city deputy, mnk national deputy, stevie archipelago deputy, chisato sunday deputy and mfd sports deputy.
dmr is transferred to sports, eva to business and bam to website.
As for me, I will stay in my comfortable corner and get "rookie" bam replacing hhr. Honestly, bam is not a real rookie because he has been working with TJP for about 3 and a half years. But being in website is different than in print. You have to do some website technicalities such as html.
So, here we go again doing the training session. But hey, look at the bright side. I will have more people knowing how to run the website.
