Vice President of Indonesia, KH Ma’ruf Amin, delivered a powerful message on the essence of Islam during the closing ceremony of the PKB Muktamar in Bali. He emphasized the fundamental principle of freedom of faith, asserting that Islam is not a religion that can be imposed on anyone.

In his speech, Ma’ruf Amin asserted, “The wars waged by the Prophet Muhammad were not to force people into Islam. It’s wrong to compel someone to embrace Islam, for there is no compulsion in religion. Faith must be embraced willingly.”

The recent Muktamar (national congress) of the Indonesian National Awakening Party (PKB) has been overshadowed by internal strife, with a faction of the party planning a counter-Muktamar.

After serving as the Vice President of Indonesia, KH Ma’ruf Amin has returned to his roots, accepting the mantle of Chairman of the Syura Council for the Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa (PKB). This decision, announced at the closing ceremony of the PKB’s 6th Muktamar in Nusa Dua, Bali, marks a significant chapter in the party’s history and for the influential cleric himself.

The recently concluded PKB Muktamar in Nusa Dua, Bali, saw an unexpected absence – President-elect Prabowo Subianto, who was initially scheduled to grace the closing ceremony. While his team cited a sudden bout of illness as the reason for his absence, the incident sparked speculation about potential tensions within the coalition.

PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar, better known as Cak Imin, attributed Prabowo’s absence to a sudden bout of illness, stating, “I was informed by his aide, Mas Teddy, this morning. He suddenly felt a bit under the weather, like a cold. He sent his greetings to everyone.”

PKB elite Jazilul Fawaid expressed understanding, acknowledging Prabowo’s commitment to attending and attributing his absence to pressing commitments. “While Pak Prabowo was very committed to being present, we understand that he had urgent agenda,” he said.

He further emphasized that PKB, despite Prabowo’s absence, remained committed to the upcoming administration. “The important thing is that PKB is in Pak Prabowo’s heart and Pak Prabowo is in PKB’s heart. That’s more important than physical presence. We are confident that PKB will contribute to the success of Pak Prabowo’s government. Similarly, Pak Prabowo will welcome the solutions and input that PKB provides.”

However, the absence of the president-elect during the closing ceremony, despite his earlier confirmation, raised questions about potential tensions within the coalition. While both parties reiterate their commitment to each other, the absence at a crucial event like the Muktamar closing ceremony might signal a subtle shift in dynamics, leaving room for speculation about underlying issues.

The incident highlights the complexities of political alliances, particularly in the context of a newly formed government. The extent to which this absence signifies deeper tensions or simply a logistical inconvenience remains unclear. However, the incident underscores the importance of open communication and consistent collaboration between coalition partners to ensure a smooth transition and effective governance.

The Muktamar, a significant event for PKB, was a platform for the party to solidify its position within the upcoming government and showcase its commitment to supporting Prabowo’s agenda. However, the president-elect’s absence during the closing ceremony, despite prior confirmation, raises concerns about the level of coordination and communication within the coalition.

While both parties have emphasized their commitment to each other, the absence at a crucial event could signal a shift in dynamics within the coalition. As the new administration takes shape, transparency and effective collaboration between all parties will be crucial to ensuring a smooth transition and a successful government.

The recent Muktamar VI of the National Awakening Party (PKB) in Nusa Dua, Bali, was a testament to the party’s strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The event, held on August 25th, 2024, saw the re-election of Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar, fondly known as Cak Imin, as the General Chair of the DPP PKB. In his powerful address, Cak Imin highlighted the party’s remarkable success in the 2024 general elections, despite facing numerous challenges.

“I want to report to the esteemed scholars and religious leaders that despite the most brutal election in 2024, PKB emerged victorious,” Cak Imin declared, “We faced limitations, even sabotage from our own allies, including those close to Gus Kausar. Despite these challenges, Alhamdulillah, we are here today, stronger and bigger than ever.” This bold statement underscored the party’s resilience and its ability to overcome obstacles.

The 2024 Indonesian Presidential Election has ushered in a new era for the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), as they prepare to take on the role of opposition after a significant electoral defeat. This development prompts us to revisit the last time PDI-P found itself in this position: during the presidency of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) from 2004 to 2009.

The 2004 election saw a victory for the Democratic Party and Golkar, with SBY and Jusuf Kalla securing the presidency over PDI-P’s candidates, Megawati Soekarno Putri and Hasyim Muzadi. This defeat marked the beginning of PDI-P’s role as a vocal and critical opposition force.

Kesimpulan

The rainy season often brings the risk of flooding, and a flooded car can be a big problem.

Not only engine and electronic problems, the durability of the car body and frame is also affected by this.

To help you deal with this situation, here is the first aid that needs to be done so that damage to the car can be minimized, summarized from various sources.

1. Don’t start the engine

When the car is submerged in floodwater, the first step you must remember is not to start the engine straight away. Water entering the machine can cause serious damage.

Along with that, immediately turn off the power supply and disconnect the battery to avoid the risk of short circuit.

2. Check the Water Depth

Before taking further action, check the water depth around the car. If the water reaches the bottom of the door or higher, you should avoid evacuating the car yourself. Call professional help or a towing service to secure your car.

3. Contact Insurance

Immediately contact your insurance company to report this incident. Be sure to take photos and necessary documentation as proof of damage. Some insurances provide evacuation and first aid services in emergency conditions such as floods.

4. Don’t Try to Start the Engine Yourself

Although you may be frustrated with the situation, resist the urge to try starting the engine manually. Let a qualified mechanic thoroughly evaluate the condition of the engine and electrical system.

5. Perform an External Inspection

Once the car is safe from the depths of water, carry out an external inspection. Check the condition of the body, lights, glass and other external systems. Be sure to note any damage or changes to your vehicle.

6. Check the Electrical System

After the car has been evacuated from the flood, check the electrical system carefully. Water can damage various electrical components. Be sure to check the lights, horn, and other electronic systems. If there is a problem, immediately contact a trusted repair shop or mechanic.

7. Check the Brake System

Flooding can affect the performance of the brake system. Make sure to check the condition of the brake linings, brake discs and other brake components. A good brake system is very important for driving safety.

8. Dry the Interior

If water gets into the cabin, dry it as quickly as possible. Use an air dryer or take the car to a repair shop that has special drying equipment. Any remaining moisture can cause problems with unpleasant odors and mold growth.

9. Clean and Replace Important Fluids

Floods can mix clean water with engine, transmission and other fluids. Be sure to clean and replace all contaminated fluids. This includes engine oil, brake fluid, and transmission fluid.

10. Test Drive the Car Carefully

After the repair and maintenance process is complete, test drive the car carefully. Note any changes in vehicle performance or response. If you feel something is wrong, immediately consult a mechanic.

In dealing with a flooded car, a quick response and appropriate first aid measures can make a big difference in minimizing damage.

The title of Formula 1 world champion that Max Verstappen achieved apparently does not mean he has the privilege of driving.

This intriguing story was exposed through The Drive, which reported that this F1 racer from the Netherlands was rejected to rent an AMG GT car in Portugal.

This ban was due to the car having a top speed of 195 mph, and he was only 26 years old.

Verstappen is on holiday in Portugal with his family and friends and has several cars on order from Sixt.

However, Verstappen was reportedly unable to get an AMG GT upon its arrival as Sixt’s insurance requires drivers to be over 30 years old for those cars. There is no age exception for the three-time F1 world champion.

The Green Mercedes AMG GT-R was introduced in Paris, France in October 2016 (Shutterstock). Verstappen obeyed the rules and chose a BMW 5 Series instead.

A Sixt spokesperson told The Sun that employees of their franchise partners in Portugal were following the rules for insurance reasons.

To find a customer-friendly solution on site, they provided Verstappen with another premium vehicle.

However, Sixt then made an exception for Verstappen, and he is now allowed to rent an AMG GT.

Even though this incident was unexpected, Verstappen’s attitude in following the rules deserves a thumbs up regardless of his status as a champion F1 racer.
