Prudent Policy

They bear, in place of classic names,
Letters and numbers on their skin.
They play their grisly blindfold games
In little boxes made of tin.
Sometimes they stalk the Zeppelin,
Sometimes they learn where mines are laid,
Or where the Baltic ice is thin.
That is the custom of (1st stanza of "The Trade", by Rudyard Kipling)


Merchants always try to find ways of gain. They are as curious as a researcher, and also as sharp as a sniper. Opportunity is their focus of curiosity, and profit is their target. Their free attitude as well as pride confident are no public secret. Their activities are the heart beat of economy as well as society. Economic development is dependent to the trade unquestionably. Thus, if any body want to develop economy, they must develop trade. This state is also applicable to government in their effort to develop national economy. Developing trade cannot be done directly by the government. The independence of trade as well as their massive scope is beyond government's control. Prudent trade policy that is the only reasonable path government can take to develop economy.

Prudent trade policy means that the formula of the policy is considered deliberately with tangible measurements to target the objective of government's targets, "developing economy". Every factors and sectors are considered in formulating the policy, and result scenarios must have been calculated to be able to target the objective. For an illustration, lets say government wants to increase the economic capacity of West Sumatera about ten percents. To reach the target, they should provide conditions that can trigger economy escalation at least ten percent. Conditions may be in the form of better infrastructure and procedure so the business will be more profitable because risk and cost can be reduced, or regulating that at least ten percent local contain for products is a must so the producers will be forced to invest in the area, or many other possibilities that can invite businessman increase their activity in West Sumatera at minimum level of ten percent. There are anourmous amount of possibilities to be made, and each possibility may result as pointed, or may be extremely different. To make it simple, prudent and deliberate preparation is a must for planning success.

Directing Development

Definition of Economic Development in the Britannica Online Encyclopedia can be resumed as a process where low-income national economies are transformed into modern industrial economies through a change in a country’s economy involving qualitative as well as quantitative improvements.

Darah mengental di nadi, aorta menggelora, jantung terus saja memompa. Butiran-butiran keringat berlompatan dari pori, berhamburan, bercerabutan disela ramang. Tenggorok digorok parau, gurau kacau terjebak payau galau, ceracau di thorax dicekam diafragma Nadi menegang, vena membelintang, arteri menari dalam marche funebre , bukan Marionete atau Chopin, tapi Beethoven dalam trans. kau usap mukaku, kau usap mataku, kau usap wajahku, kau balut mukaku, ku pagut cintaku, kau hilang. Pilu.. Hanya bayang.. Hanya bayang.. HHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIII............................ Siapa menanam durja, Kenapa merajam cinta? Fana hanya kita kakanda, mungkin tak kala untuk kau senja, bisa saja hilang kau dalam sehasta, terra incognita di mana-mana, marre incognitum penuh nujum, kembara kenapa? apa yang kau cari cinta? Semesta hening memekak otak, mayapada ternganga menggelitik pelik, gagu didasar kalbu. Dulu ragu dan mas que nada ku lagu, night train berucap untukku. Saat itu g...

Datu Lengkung Waktu

Dulu, kuasa semesta hendak mengiringku, ku ayun sepatu pelempar batu... dia coba merayu, ku tantang dia dengan tinju, aku berlalu, laju dengan dayung ditanganku. Bertemu pada suatu waktu, coba dia mengaturku, mendidih darahku, aku berlalu. Pernah suatu ketika, dalam letihku, ditamparnya aku kau terpapar waktu, bisiknya dan tiada hirau ku, aku berlalu. Waktu angan menggiringku, ditamparnya aku, gagu dalam marahku, kalau hendak menekukku, kepalku sebeku palu, ditamparnya aku, merah mataku, kuremas kau jadi abu ditamparnya aku, ku lumat dia dengan mataku, ditamparnya aku, kau terpapar waktu aku berlalu. Api dimataku, ditamparnya aku ku ayun tinju, terjerembab ngilu, asin dimulutku, ditamparnya aku ngilu di tulangku, gemeretak buku jariku, ditamparnya aku tak mau ku diberi tahu, ku kasi dia tinju di dagu, aku berlalu. Dalam marah, perahuku laju, marah, lautku merah dalam marah, dayungku laju, perahuku ditelan kabut, dalam waktu, pudar bay...
