Ceramah Rhoma Irama Bagian dari Syiar Islam Bukan SARA

 

Komunitas Intelektual Muda Betawi (KIMB), mengaku prihatin atas pemanggilan Rhoma Irama oleh Panitia Pengawas Pemilu (Panwaslu) DKI Jakarta terkait masalah ceramah yang menyinggung masalah Suku, Agama, Ras dan Antar golongan (SARA).

Ketua Komunitas Intelektual Muda Betawi, Ramdan Alamsyah mengungkapkan, tidak tepat Rhoma Irama dipanggil oleh Panwaslu. Sebab, apa yang disampaikan sang raja dangdut itu, merupakan bagian dari syiar agama Islam.

"Apalagi dia juga seorang ulama atau pemuka agama Islam yang sangat dihormati. Kami sangat prihatin dan ini sangat melukai umat Islam, karena yang dilakukan hanyalah bagian dari syiar agama," ujar Ramdan dalam keterangannya di Jakarta, Senin (6/8/2012).

Menurut Ramdan, Rhoma Irama hanya menyampaikan firman Allah yang menjadi keyakinan umat Islam. Terlebih hal tersebut di komunitas Islam.

"Dia menyampaikannya di rumah Allah. Apakah hal itu salah? Dia hanya menyampaikan kebenaran sebagai ulama pada umat Islam," tegasnya.

Dalam konteks tersebut, lanjut Ramdan, sebagai umat Islam Rhoma Irama hanya ingin menyampaikan sesuai dengan ajaran agama Islam, yakni ayat Alquran ada ayat yang berisi larangan bagi umat Islam untuk memilih pemimpin yang beragama tidak Islam atau kafir. "Dia wajib  menyampaikan kebenaran sebagai umat Islam," tambahnya.

Ramdan menambahkan, warga Jakarta yang mayoritas umat Islam bersikap cerdas, dan bisa memahami apa yang dsampaikan Rhoma Irama merupakan bagian dari Syiar agama.

"Rasanya hal tersebut juga pas dilakukan di bulan Ramadhan, untuk menambah keyakinan akhlak umat Islam," tutupnya.

Honda Brio

Honda Brio adalah kendaraan jenis city car yang masuk ke Indonesia melalui PT. Honda Prospect Motor selaku ATPM (Agen Tunggal Pemegang Merk) mobil Honda di tanah air guna menjawab keinginan publik ditanah air yang menginginkan mobil murah namun tak mengesampingkan faktor kualitas ataupun fitur-fitur yang terpasang didalamnya. Kendaraan yang akan diluncurkan sebelum IIMS 2012 atau pada bulan Juli dan Agustus mendatang ini memiliki desain yang compact & styles seperti yang dimiliki oleh Honda Jazz.

Pada peluncuran perdana, pihak HPM sendiri rencananya akan mengimpor Honda Brio langsung dari Thailand dan hebatnya Indonesia akan menjadi negara pertama dimana Brio mengaspal. Menurut beberapa sumber, pihak Honda melakukan hal ini karena mereka sangat respect dengan konsumen di Indonesia, apalagi belakangan ini pasar otomotif di tanah air cukup menjanjikan bagi para produsen kendaraan Jepang ataupun Eropa.

Indonesia yang merupakan salah satu negara dengan penduduk terbanyak didunia adalah salah satu “target market” produk otomotif. Kemudahan-kemudahan kepemilikan kendaraan pribadipun tak luput dari usaha dan kerja keras pihak perusahaan pembiayaan ataupun leasing yang memberanikan diri serta menawarkan jasa mereka dalam proses kepemilikan mobil ataupun pembelian Honda Brio secara kredit.

Hal ini jelas berbeda jika dibandingkan dengan beberapa tahun silam yang mana untuk memiliki kendaraan, para konsumen harus membelinya secara cash karena kalah itu belum ada perusahaan leasing ataupun pihak bank yang mau membiayai konsumen yang kemudian akan dibayarkan kembali secara cicil sesuai dengan jumlah angsuran yang ditetapkan kepada pihak bank ataupun leasing.

Sebagai dealer mobil Honda, terkadang kami mempunyai beberapa pertanyaan dalam benak kami sendiri kepada konsumen yang terkadang kerap menyusahkan pihak leasing ataupun tidak memberikan beberapa data yang diminta ketika mengajukan permohonan untuk membeli sebuah kendaraan dengan cara kredit. Namun itu semua kembali ke pribadi masing-masing. Honda Brio sendiri saat ini sudah bisa diindent ataupun dipesan melalui kami selaku dealer resmi mobil Honda Jakarta.

Spesifikasi Brio Indonesia :

    Dimensi panjang 3.610mm
    Lebar 1.680mm
    Tinggi 1.485mm
    Wheelbase 2.345mm
    Mesin 1.300 cc i-VTEC, 4 silinder
    Mampu menghasilkan tenaga hingga 90hp
    Putaran mesin setinggi 6.000 rpm dan torsi sebesar 110 nm pada 4800 rpm.
    Transmisi mobil Honda Brio sama seperti mobil Nissan Juke
    Honda Brio menggunakan continuously variable transmission (CVT)
    Menggunakan teknologi Honda’s G-Force Control (GCON)
    Pengereman Honda Brio menggunakan Disc brakes
    Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
    Electronic brake distribution (EBD)
    Fitur immobilizer.
    Include Airbags SRS Driver seat.
    Harga Tentatif

OLIMPIADE LONDON 2012: Pesta besar tunggu Ranomi Kromowidjojo

LONDON: Bermalam di Istana sambil berpesta bir dengan ribuan teman membayangi pikiran Ranomi Kromowidjojo setelah perenang Belanda keturunan Jawa itu meraih medali emas di nomor 100 meter gaya bebas putri, Kamis (2/8).

Tim renang Belanda dan pembuat bir ternama dari Negeri Kincir Angin Heineken telah memesan tempat di Alexandra Palace, atau dikenal dengan "Ally Pally", sebagai rumah mereka selama Olimpiade London untuk merayakan kemenangan Ranomi, Sabtu (4/8), sesaat setelah kompetisi itu berakhir. Malam itu tentu akan menjadi malam penuh kemeriahan di London utara.

Ranomi, putri seorang pria Jawa Suriname, akan memiliki banyak pesta setelah masuk dalam daftar nama juara Olimpiade untuk Belanda.

Gadis hitam manis yang dikenal sebagai perenang estafet itu menorehkan namanya sebagai juara individu dengan catatan waktu Olimpiade 53 detik.

Berada di urutan ke empat tidak membuat Ranomi ciut nyali untuk menggeser juara dunia Aliaksandra Herasimenia (Belarusia) ke urutan dua dan menempatkan Tang Yi (China) di urutan tiga.

"Mereka yang menonton pertandingan lewat tayangan televisi mungkin lebih gugup daripada saya,' kata gadis kelahiran Groningen, 20 Agustus 1990 itu.

"Bagi saya, pertandingan itu luar biasa tapi bukan penampilan terbaik saya. Catatan waktu itu bukan catatan terbaik saya sepanjang musim ini. Saya tidak terlalu puas dengan pencapaian waktu saya,' katanya.

"Artinya, medali emas tetaplah medali emas. Saya senang bisa meraihnya dan menjadi juara Olimpiade," lanjutnya (sumber)

Direct Mail - the Deadly Sin Of Not Testing.::. http://cyberforest.blogspot.com/

If there's one thing that makes direct mail a reliable method of
drumming up new business, then that would have to be the ability to
test if different version of a pack achieve a better return on
investment. Having processed many mailings over the years, I can attest
that clients rarely take full advantage of this feature. In fact, more
often than not, clients don't test at all.



Not testing is commercial suicide. In today's competitive climate, if
there is anything that can be done to reduce the cost of acquiring a
customer, then it must be done. It's a no brainer. Research shows that
in times of depression, those that continue to advertise are those that
do well. It also shows that those that continue to advertise also make
efforts to stretch their budget even further.



You decrease your direct mail costs by application of a little
commonsense and by testing which produces the best response. We'll take
the example of direct mail pack that comprises five parts in all.




The parts of the pack are as follows:




1) Envelope


2) Personalised letter


3) Brochure


4) Leaflet/Order form


5) Business reply Envelope




Looking at this you would think that this it, but we've forgotten the most important part of all:




6) The data




So, there's enough there now to get your message out.



Experience shows that the most important part of the mailing is the
data, so we must test this part. A badly produced but well targeted
letter will almost certainly produce a better return than a well
written badly targeted letter.



You may have a particular target audience already decided, for example,
lawyers. You will be able to get lists of lawyers from more than one
source, that can be tested. Equally you'll have the option of mailing
to a named individual, or to a job title, so you can test that too. So
far that's at least four permutations provided you use 2 data
suppliers. It would be 6 if you used 3 suppliers. If you hadn't
narrowed your field to one sector, then the choice of tests to run
could be massively increased, but it's not practical to take it to the
extreme.




Targeting is everything, you must get that right, and you can only find that out if you test.



Looking at the envelope, you have a huge number of choice here too.
You can send plain with a stamp, or printed with a message. You could
make the material from an unusual paper, print in full colour, use
different sizes. You could print different designs, use different
taglines and the like.



Depending on how your envelope is made you may be able to run multiple
designs for a minimal charge. The nature of some jobs is that they are
printed 2 or 3 or up on a sheet, so you will be able to produce equal
quantities of more than one design. Even if it's not free, chances are
that it won't be hat expensive for a plate change.



For the letterhead, you can change the material. Studies by paper
merchants have shown a 20% increase in response just by changing to a
textured paper. The copy itself on the letter can be changed, offers
can be changed. The number of options to test here is almost limitless.




Moving on to the leaflet, the same applies here as did for the letterhead. Copy, material, imagery; they're all fair game.



Last but not least we move on to the BRE. There's not a huge amount
you could do here. White or manila envelopes perhaps? Maybe even a
coloured BRE? if it isn't going to cost a lot, why not try it.



Using these methods over time you can increase the effectiveness of
your mailings. Always test, even when you think you have the perfect
pack, continue to run a test campaign against it, even if the
difference between the two is really quite small. If you continue to do
this, your costs to acquire a customer should fall and fall.



Overall, the point is that there an almost infinitely large and
almost limitless opportunity for testing. Maybe it's this huge scope
for testing that puts people off, but I don't think it is. I think it's
just a lack of awareness of what you can do. You don't need to
complicate things, you can just run two packs with one difference
between them and see how it goes.



Whatever you do though, don't commit commercial suicide and fail to test.
