Siapa mengira, 90 persen anak Indonesia mengidap cacingan? Rendahnya mutu sanitasi menjadi penyebabnya. Pemiskinan fisik hingga IQ loss adalah beberapa akibatnya. Meski sering dianggap angin lalu, penyakit akibat diserapnya makanan oleh cacing di dalam tubuh sebaiknya tidak diremehkan. Dampaknya bagi si penderita ternyata tak kalah berbahaya ketimbang penyakit lain. Apalagi, yang jadi korban kebanyakan adalah anak-anak.

June 28 Japan says that it wants to renegotiate trade agreements with the Netherlands.
July Indonesian exports to Japan are stopped.
August Japan suggests that French Indochina and the Netherlands Indies should be incorporated willingly into the "East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".
August 9 GAPI presents another petition for the "complete democratization of Indonesia".
August 23 Commission for the Study of Constitutional Reforms is set up to look into the GAPI demands (but nothing else). Thamrin and others in the Volksraad withdraw their proposals for democratization, saying that the situation was becoming hopeless.

December Kobayashi returns to Japan.
  Even after the Netherlands had been taken over by Nazi Germany, the Dutch still held onto their colonies. For over a year and a half, the Netherlands East Indies government continued to rule over Indonesia, reporting to the Dutch government-in-exile. Efforts by Indonesian activists to organize self-rule were ignored.
Some Japanese extremists had talked about building an empire in the Pacific in the early 1930s, or even earlier. In 1940, however, Japan still faced a possible military threat from the Soviet Union, and the Japanese military was unwilling to overextend their forces too far to the south.

First steamboat arrives in the Indies.

Gov.-Gen. Johannes van den Bosch
It was only after the Java War that the Dutch began to think about a real empire in the Indies. From 1830 to the end of the century, the Dutch began a drive to take complete control of the areas from Aceh to New Guinea, and to extract as much profit as possible from the valuable areas, such as the Priangan area of West Java.
Revenues from the Indies paid for as much as one-third of the Dutch government's budget in the mid-1800s. These monies helped to finance the industrialization and development of the Netherlands in the 1800s. The burden fell especially upon the Netherlands Indies, since the Dutch had lost many of their other colonies to the British during the Napoleonic wars (including South Africa and Sri Lanka), and since Belgium with its business and industry broke away from the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1830.
The government was called the Netherlands Indies, or Nederlands-Indië in Dutch, or Hindia Belanda in Indonesian today.

History of Indonesia (4)

1800

 
VOC formally dissolved on January 1; properties revert to Dutch government.
Sultan of the Kraton Kanoman in Cirebon is banished to Ambon by the Dutch. A low-level rebellion breaks out under Bagus Rangen.
  During these times, the Netherlands was allied to or occupied by Napoleon's France. Until Daendels arrived, not all Dutch officials in the Indies approved of the government in Amsterdam.
Around this time, many ports and markets that had been monopolized by the VOC were opened to free trade. This turned out to be profitable for the local government, which then allowed the Netherlands Indies officials to be more independent of the Napoleonic government in Amsterdam (until events of war reduced trade around 1807-1808).

1801

 
British take control of the Minahasa region, remaining until 1816.

A Historical Glimpse | Indonesia





The first known hominid inhabitant of Indonesia was the so-called "Java Man", or Homo erectus, who lived here half a million years ago. Some 60,000 years ago, the ancestors of the present-day Papuans move eastward through these islands, eventually reaching New Guinea and Australia some 30-40,000 years ago. Much later, in about the fourth millennium B.C., they were followed by the ancestors of the modern-day Malays, Javanese and other Malayo-Polynesian groups who now make up the bulk of Indonesia's population.

Cassava Reality (1)

Manioc (Manihot esculenta)
Cassava (Manihot esculenta), also known as manioc, tapioca, yuca and mandioca, is a domesticated species of tuber, originally domesticated perhaps as long ago as 8,000-10,000 years ago, in southern Brazil along the southwestern border of the Amazon basin. Cassava is today a primary calorie source in tropical regions around the world, and the sixth most important crop plant worldwide.
