Jakarta – Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) terus memperkuat komitmen untuk membersihkan institusi peradilan dari praktik korupsi. Upaya tersebut dilakukan secara menyeluruh, tidak hanya melalui penindakan, tetapi juga lewat pendekatan pendidikan dan pencegahan yang berkelanjutan. Wakil Ketua KPK Ibnu Basuki Widodo menyampaikan bahwa langkah pencegahan telah dilakukan jauh sebelum operasi tangkap tangan (OTT) terhadap Ketua dan Wakil Ketua Pengadilan Negeri (PN) Depok beberapa waktu lalu. KPK, kata dia, juga bersinergi dengan Mahkamah Agung (MA) dalam penguatan aspek pencegahan dan pendidikan antikorupsi. “Kami sudah turun langsung ke sejumlah wilayah untuk memetakan risiko korupsi di lingkungan peradilan, seperti di Pengadilan Tinggi Semarang, Surabaya, Manado, hingga Yogyakarta. Kami kumpulkan rekan-rekan hakim tinggi, para ketua dan wakil ketua pengadilan, hingga panitera sekretaris,” ujar Ibnu kepada awak media di Jakarta, Selasa (10/2/2026). Dalam pertemuan tersebut, KPK mend...

Gaza’s Border With Egypt Reopens, but Returnees Face a Lengthy Ordeal

Gambar
  Rafah — Gaza’s border crossing with Egypt has partially reopened, allowing the first groups of displaced Palestinians to return to the besieged territory after nearly two years. The returnees passed through the Rafah crossing, Gaza’s only remaining gateway to the outside world, amid ongoing restrictions and security concerns. Navigating strict border controls, the threat of armed gangs, and continued airstrikes, the returning Palestinians described the journey as long and difficult. Despite the reopening, the Rafah crossing remains a major bottleneck, with only limited numbers of people permitted to cross in either direction. Last week, dozens of Gaza residents who had traveled to Egypt for medical treatment were finally allowed to return to the war-ravaged enclave. Their passage marked the first significant movement of returnees since the crossing was shut down following Israel’s seizure of the Rafah land border in May 2024. The full reopening of the Rafah crossing for the m...

Brazil’s Lula Is on the Left. So How Has He Avoided Trump’s Scorn?

Gambar
Brasília — In the new regional order shaped by U.S. President Donald Trump’s approach to Latin America, Brazil has emerged as a notable exception. While ideological divisions have largely defined Washington’s relationships across the region, Brazil has managed to maintain a functional working relationship with the United States despite being led by a left-leaning government. Under President Trump, the U.S. administration has generally viewed conservative governments in Latin America as natural allies, while treating leftist leaders with skepticism or open hostility. However, Brazil, governed by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a social democrat, has not followed this pattern. Brazil is the only country in South America that openly resisted pressure and threats from the Trump administration while later succeeding in reestablishing constructive diplomatic ties. Analysts say this outcome reflects Brazil’s long-standing tradition of pragmatic foreign policy rather than ideological a...

What Is the SAVE America Act, and How Could It Change U.S. Voting?

Gambar
  Washington, D.C. — Republicans in the United States Congress are pushing forward with the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, a proposed piece of legislation that would introduce new requirements for voter registration and participation in federal elections. The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on the bill on Wednesday. If passed, the SAVE America Act would require individuals to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. In addition, voters would be required to present a government-issued photo identification that verifies citizenship in order to cast a ballot. Supporters of the bill argue that the measure is necessary to strengthen election integrity and prevent noncitizens from registering and voting. Republican lawmakers have made the proposal a legislative priority for several years, citing concerns over vulnerabilities in the voter registration system. While available data indicates that cases of...

Ideal Tax Ratio for Indonesia Difficult to Determine, Says Finance Minister

Gambar
Jakarta, February 9, 2026 — Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa stated that there is no precise benchmark for Indonesia’s ideal tax ratio in the 2026 State Budget (APBN) , citing the rigid structure of the national tax system that limits rapid adjustment. “It is difficult to determine the ideal figure. I don’t know,” Minister Purbaya said when speaking to reporters in Jakarta on Monday. He noted that Indonesia’s tax ratio has remained largely stagnant for decades, despite continuous growth in government expenditure. According to the Minister, a tax ratio in the range of 11–12 percent would be sufficient to support the State Budget. He added that even achieving a level of 11–11.5 percent would provide significantly better fiscal space compared to current conditions. However, Purbaya emphasized that increasing the tax ratio is a complex task that requires comprehensive and sustained efforts. These include system modernization, administrative reform, and changes in the conduct...
