Budisatrio Djiwandono Becomes Candidate for General Chairperson of PP Perbasi
Prospective Chairpersons Deposit IDR 500 Million, PP Perbasi: Not for National Conference
PP Perbasi revealed that the IDR 500 million deposit paid by prospective general chairpersons (balon ketum) for registration was not for the National Conference (Munas) fee. However, the funds were deposited for coaching young players.
For information, the PP Perbasi general chairperson candidacy market has been opened on August 14 and closed on Friday, August 23, 2024. After that, the registration form will be returned on September 23, 2024 and will then be verified by the Prospective General Chairperson Candidate Selection Team.
One of the requirements is that the prospective chairpersons must include written evidence stating support from 15 Provincial Administrators (Pengprov) signed by the chairpersons of each Pengprov during registration. Then, there are other requirements.
Prospective chairpersons are required to submit funds of IDR 500 million when returning the registration form. The money is proof that they are committed and serious about running as PP Perbasi Ketum.
Secretary General of PP Perbasi, Nirmala Dewi, confirmed that the deposit money was not for the cost of the national conference which will be held on October 28-30. However, the money will be used for the development of young players in the country.
Meanwhile, for the National Conference, we will look for sponsors," said Nirmala, when met by media crews including MNC Portal Indonesia (MPI) at the GBK Arena, Senayan, Jakarta, Friday, August 23, 2024.
"So the candidates who have donated through registration fees will be used for the development of young people," added the 46-year-old woman.
This is the result of the discussion of the Selection Team, we have not determined it," continued Nirmala.
But it's also good as proof of seriousness and we Perbasi agree to it," he said.
On the same occasion, the Head of the Perbasi Recruitment Team, Setia Dharma Madjid, also explained that the deposit fund is proof of the seriousness of the applicant. As a result, this method can minimize applicants who are not serious.
If they don't have that, there could be 100 people who register unclearly, right? For Perbasi, Rp. 500 million is nothing. A person's commitment can be seen from that (500 million)," Dharma concluded.
Former Management Criticizes Minimum Support Requirement of 15 Provincial Administrators and IDR 500 Million for Perbasi Candidate for General Chairperson
Former Perbasi Management and national basketball observer, Hisia Martogi Lumban Gaol, criticized the minimum support requirement of 15 Perbasi Provincial Administrators (Pengprov) and a registration deposit of IDR 500 million for the General Chairperson Candidate (Caketum) for Perbasi 1. The reason is, these requirements are not in the Perbasi AD/ART.
The Perbasi Central Management (PP) will hold a National Conference on 28-30 October 2024. One of the important agendas is to elect the General Chairperson for the 2024-2028 period.
There are two figures who have taken the registration form. The first is the former Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Perbasi Pengprov, Yos Paguno and the second is Budisatrio Djiwandono as the nephew of President-elect Prabowo Subianto.
Hisia Martogi Lumban Gaol said that every organization has rules and procedures that must be followed in the process of nominating and electing leaders or administrators. These rules, he continued, are usually stated in the organization's articles of association and statutes.
"As members of the organization, we must comply with these rules in order to maintain democratization and fairness in the election process," said Martogi as quoted from a press release received by MNC Portal Indonesia (MPI), Tuesday (8/27/2024).
Now, if there are things that conflict with the organization's rules, then these regulations need to be corrected, improved, or revoked. According to him, a fair and transparent nomination and election process is very important to maintain the integrity and trust of the organization's members.
Martogi further explained that the FIBA statutes state in article 9.7 that national federations must carry out the election process in a democratic, transparent and accountable manner which is carried out every four years. Meanwhile, according to the Perbasi Articles of Association, article 18.2, which states that the National Conference is held every four years and the Bylaws, article 30.1, which states that the organizing committee is formed three months before the end of the term of office.
The spirit of change and looking for a figure to become the leader of the national basketball organization," said the man who was once the administrator of PP Perbasi 2015-2019.
As is known, candidates for general chairman who want to advance must get at least 15 supports from the Provincial Management (Pengprov). Therefore, the rule of at least 15 Pengprov support is said to be far-fetched and seems to show that there is no spirit of democracy.
"Because the requirements made violate the AD/ART and FIBA statutes," said Martogi.
Togi - Martogi's nickname - revealed that the AD/ART has clearly explained that the participants of the National Conference and the owners of votes are Pengprov and district/city administrators. Therefore, the same rights or egalitarian principles to be able to provide support to candidates.
For him, there is no guarantee that someone who does not get support from Pengprov is a figure who is not worthy of leading the organization. Even so, it is not necessarily true that a figure who gets a lot of support from Pengprov will be a very good person to lead the organization.
Therefore, he said that the spirit of democracy is not like that. However, it should indicate that all are the same.
In addition, Togi also criticized the obligation for the candidate to pay IDR 500 million. According to him, no matter how much money does not indicate that someone who pays will be a better leader and someone who does not have money is not worthy of leading.
Therefore, all candidates are required to communicate with all basketball administrators throughout Indonesia. Not to become factions with the process of supporting certain candidates.
Togi advised voters to choose a general chairman who is cool for Perbasi. He does not want anyone who has certain interests outside of Perbasi to lead.
2024 Paris Paralympics Results: Indonesian Boccia Team Sweeps Victory on First Day
Muhammad Bintang Satria Herlangga who competed in the men's individual BC2 event successfully made a surprise. He managed to defeat the Malaysian champion, Lee Chee Hong at the South Paris Arena 1, Thursday, August 29, 2024.
Not only Bintang, Felix Ardi Yudha who also competed in the men's individual BC2 event successfully won. Yudha had no difficulty overcoming the resistance of the Chinese representative, Yan Zhiqiang 5-2.
In addition, Muhammad Afrizal Syafa who competed in the men's individual BC1 event also won. He defeated the Slovakian representative, Tomas Kral 5-3.
Afrizal and Yudha's success was closed with Bintang Satria's charming performance. He made a surprise by crushing Malaysian boccia star, Lee Chee Hong, with a landslide score of 11-2.
Boccia Indonesia's perfect record on the first day made head coach Islahuzzaman Nur Yadin breathe a sigh of relief. Usually, Indonesian athletes are often nervous in the first match.
If in the first match we can play freely, for the next match we will definitely be more confident with our position and abilities," said Islahuzzaman, in a press statement from NPC Indonesia, quoted Friday (30/8/2024).
Islah, his nickname, assessed that Yudha and Afrizal's victory had been predicted from the start. However, Bintang's landslide victory over the Malaysian representative was a big surprise.
"Looking at the meeting record, Chee Hong looked unfocused, so Bintang could take advantage of Chee Hong who was unfocused. In the BC 2 category, when you lose the ball, it's over. Unlike BC 1 which can still be chased," explained Islah.
Before leaving, I told them to call their parents first, ask for their prayers and blessings. Maybe with that prayer, they will be calm," explained Islah.
Meanwhile, female Boccia athlete Gischa Zayana became Indonesia's new representative who competed on Friday (8/30/2024). Gischa, who competed in the women's BC2 individual event, will meet Hungarian representative Vivien Nagy. Bintang will also play the second match of Group E against Chinese representative Lan Zhijian, and Felix Ardi Yudha will play the second match of Group D against Canadian representative Danik Allard.
Despite Failing to Contribute a Medal, Syuci Indriani is Still Proud to Reach the 2024 Paris Paralympic Swimming Final
Indonesian para swimmer, Syuci Indriani, feels proud and happy because her target of reaching the 2024 Paris Paralympic final has been realized. Although in the end she failed to contribute a medal in the 100-meter butterfly final in the S14 classification, Syuci is still satisfied.
Syuci is one of three Indonesian para swimmers who qualified for the 2024 Paris Paralympics. The bronze medalist at the 2022 Asian Para Games is targeted to enter the final round in Paris.
Syuci achieved this target after finishing fourth in the qualifying round in Heat 1 which took place on Thursday (29/8/2024) afternoon WIB at the Paris Ia Defense Arena, Paris, France. She recorded a time of 1 minute 09.71 seconds.

Syuci herself said that she felt protected by Lady Fortuna when the participants in Heat 2 were unable to record a better time than her. She even shed tears when she found out that she had qualified for the final round because she was not on the seeded list.
Being able to jump to eighth place was unexpected, so I am grateful," explained the 23-year-old athlete.
In the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, Syuci failed to make it to a single final despite competing in three events. Therefore, she has a strong determination to achieve better results in Paris 2024.
That is motivation, proving that Suci can enter the final," said the athlete from Riau.
In the final match which took place that evening, Syuci had to be satisfied with being in the last position. She was only able to record a time of 1 minute 10.41 seconds.
Syuci was 7.41 seconds behind the representative of Great Britain, Poppy Maskill, who won the gold medal with a time of 1 minute 03.00 seconds. The time record is the latest world record for the 100-meter butterfly S14.
