Indonesia memastikan satu tempat partai final SEA Games 2023 usai mengkandaskan Tim Voli Putra Vietnam 3-0, 30-28, 25-19, dan 25-18. hasil akhir ini memantapkan langkahnya ke partai final SEA Games 2023, yang berlangsung di Olympic Complex Indoor Main Hall, Phnom Penh, hari Sabtu, 07/05/2023.

Jika berhasil menang atas Tim tuan rumah Kamboja, Indonesia akan menorehkan sejarah baru di cabang bola Voli Putra.

Timnas voli putra Indonesia akan meraih hattrick medali emas.

Pada dua edisi SEA Games 2019 (Filipina) dan 2021 (Vietnam), tim voli putra Indonesia sukses keluar sebagai pemenang alias meraih keping medali tertinggi.

Capaian hattrick medali emas SEA Games sebenarnya sudah pernah digapai Tim Garuda.

Mereka pernah melakukannya pada SEA Games 1987, 1989 dan 1991. Ini kali terakhir Timnas voli putra Indonesia mampu meraih emas beruntun di ajang SEA Games.

Dengan demikian, Timnas voli putra Indonesia berpotensi untuk mengulang prestasi 32 tahun silam.

Sejak fase grup hingga menembus laga puncak, skuad asuhan Jeff Jiang Jie ini menyapu bersih dengan kemenangan alias masih unbeaten.

Hebatnya lagi, Rivan Nurmulki dan kolega sukses menjaga kemenangan 3-0 sejak fase grup A.

Timnas voli putra Indonesia mengalahkan Filipina, Singapura, Kamboja dan Vietnam melalui tiga set langsung.

Ini menjadi catatan istimewa sekaligus stimulus untuk Doni Haryono cs mengkonversikannya menjadi medali emas.

Skuad asuhan Li Jun ini mengandaskan Filipina dan Singapura 3-0, sebelum pada perebutan status juara Grup A dihajar Indonesia tiga set langsung.

Kejutan diberikan Kamboja saat mengalahkan Thailand 3-2 pada perebutan tiket final.

Resmi BI Luncurkan Kartu Kredit Pemerintah Hari Ini

Bank Indonesia (BI) hari ini Senin, 08/05/2023, secara resmi meluncurkan Kartu Kredit Pemerintah (KKP) dalam acara Festival Ekonomi Keuangan Digital Indonesia (FEKDI) 2023 di Jakarta. Dengan begitu, transaksi kementerian dan lembaga baik di pusat maupun daerah sudah bisa menggunakan kartu kredit domestik ini.

Gubernur BI Perry Warjiyo mengungkap peluncuran dilakukan atas sinergi antara pemerintah, Bank Indonesia dan industri keuangan.

"Kami akan meluncurkan kartu kredit domestik untuk pemerintah. Ini adalah sinergitas antara pemerintah, BI, dan industri bahwa transaksi keuangan pemerintah pusat dan daerah sekarang sudah gunakan kartu kredit domestik," ungkap Perry dalam FEKDI 2023, pada hari Senin, 08/05/2023.

Perry berujar, keuntungan penggunakan kartu kredit pemerintah ini, dalam proses transaksinya tidak dikenakan biaya tambahan alias 0 persen bagi pengguna pemerintah. Serta, untuk kios atau merchant, dikenakan biaya yang lebih efisien dari biasanya.

"Bahwa transaksi keuangan pemerintah pusat dan daerah sekarang sudah menggunakan kartu domestik, dengan biaya yang 0 persen untuk pemerintah dan juga biaya untuk merchant itu lebih efisien," kata Perry.

"Dan sekaligus tentu bagian dari gerakan bangga buatan Indonesia," sambungnya.

Kartu Kredit Pemerintah (KKP) sendiri akan menggunakan Gerbang Pembayaran Nasional (GPN). Tak seperti pada umumnya yang menggunakan Visa atau Mastercard. Sebelumnya, Deputi Gubernur BI Doni Primanto Joewono mengungkapkan keputusan ini diambil sejalan dengan arahan Presiden Joko Widodo yang ingin KKP ini menggunakan GPN.

Pada kesempatan yang sama, secara virtual, Presiden Joko Widodo langsung meminta pemerintah pusat dan daerah untuk menggunakan KKP ini. Utamanya menggenjot transaksi produk asli dalam negeri.

"Saya minta seluruh kementerian lembaga pemerintah daerah untuk menggunakan kartu kredit pemerintah serta mendukung perluasan QRIS antar negara guna akselerasi ekonomi dan keuangan digital yang inklusif," ungkap Jokowi.

Atas hal ini Presiden Joko Widodo (Jokowi) meminta Kementerian dan Lembaga (K/L) maupun Pemerintah Daerah (Pemda) untuk segera pakai dan melakukan setiap transaksi menggunakan KKP tersebut.

"Saya minta seluruh kementerian lembaga dan pemda untuk menggunakan kartu kredit pemerintah serta mendukung perluasan qris antar nergara guna akselerasi ekonomi dan keuangan digital yang inklusif," kata Jokowi yang hadir melalui video teleconference tersebut.

Jokowi memaparkan Kartu Kredit Pemerintah sangat perlu digunakan untuk mempermudah belanja barang bagi pemerintahan pusat dan daerah.

Dia menilai Kartu Kredit Pemerintah dapat menimbulkan efisien dan akuntabilitas penggunaan anggaran di instansi-instansi pemerintah pusat dan daerah.

"Inovasi keuangan digital seperti Kartu Kredit Pemerintah perlu diperkuat untuk permudah belanja barang pemerintah pusat dan daerah. Ini guna meningkatkan efisiensi dan transparansi dan memudahkan pertanggungjawaban penggunaan belanja pemerintah," beber Jokowi.

Kembali ke Perry, dia bilang biaya transaksi dengan kartu kredit pemerintah cuma 0%. Biaya merchant juga disebut lebih murah.

"Dengan 0% biaya untuk pemerintah, dan biaya merchant lebih efisien. Sekaligus ini juga baigan dari gerakan Bangga Buatan Indonesia," ujar Perry.

Lebih lanjut, Perry menyatakan Kementerian Dalam Negeri (Kemendagri) sudah menerbitkan petunjuk dan pelaksanaan alias juklak untuk penggunaan APBN ataupun APBD dengan Kartu Kredit Pemerintah.

"Ini adalah sinergitas antara pemerintah, BI, dan industri bahwa transaksi keuangan pemerintah pusat dan daerah sekarang sudah gunakan kartu kredit domestik," ungkap Gubernur BI Perry Warjiyo.

Perry bilang biaya transaksi dengan kartu kredit pemerintah cuma 0%. Biaya merchant juga disebut lebih murah dibandingkan dengan penggunaan kartu kredit yang lainnya.

"Dengan 0% biaya untuk pemerintah, dan biaya merchant lebih efisien. Sekaligus ini juga baigan dari gerakan Bangga Buatan Indonesia," ujar Perry.

Lebih lanjut, Perry menyatakan Kementerian Dalam Negeri (Kemendagri) sudah menerbitkan petunjuk dan pelaksanaan alias juklak untuk penggunaan APBN ataupun APBD dengan Kartu Kredit Pemerintah

"Pak Mendagri sudah ada juklaknya bagaimana gunakan APBN dengan menggunakan KKP, bagaimana APBD menggunakan kartu kredit ini," ujar Perry.

"Ngga ada biaya bagi pemerintahan, biaya transaksi dan lain-lain itu nggak ada," tambahnya.

Toyota suspends sales of Yaris model in Thailand after safety test problem

Toyota has stopped sales and deliveries of its Yaris Ativ in Thailand, senior officials said on Monday, after its affiliate Daihatsu rigged part of the door in side-collision safety tests.

Japanese carmaker Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) has stopped sales and deliveries of its Yaris Ativ in Thailand, senior officials said on Monday, after its affiliate Daihatsu rigged part of the door in side-collision safety tests.

The problem may have occurred due to pressure on Daihatsu to shorten the development time of the Ativ, Masahiko Maeda, Toyota's CEO for the Asia region, said at a press conference in Bangkok. The vehicles customers were currently using were safe, he added.

Toyota was working with the Thai government to resume sales of the model, which has been produced in Toyota's Gateway plant in Chachoengsao province, and further investigation was underway.

Speaking at a news conference in Bangkok, Toyota’s CEO for the Asia region, Masahiko Maeda, said the problem may have occurred due to pressure during the development of the Ativ model, adding that the vehicles customers are using are safe.

Toyota was working with the Thai government to resume sales.

“If development had been carried out under appropriate conditions, this kind of problem would of course not have happened,” Maeda said.

“I think the fact that it still happened, means there was some kind of pressure at the development site,” he said, adding that the vehicle’s relatively large size may have posed a challenge to Daihatsu, which specializes in the production of small cars.

Toyota and Daihatsu disclosed last month they were investigating how part of the door in side-collision safety tests carried out for some 88,000 small cars had been changed for the purpose of side-on crash safety testing.

Daihatsu has said that some 76,000 of those vehicles were Yaris Ativs mainly bound for Thailand, Mexico and the Gulf Cooperation Council. The Gulf Cooperation Council comprises Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman.

Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda said he had visited the company’s Gateway plant in Chachoengsao province for the first time in a decade to assure workers, also saying he had come to the Southeast Asian nation because he loved it.

Toyoda has a personal attachment to Thailand, calling it his “home away from home” at an event to celebrate Toyota’s 60th anniversary of operations in the country late last year.

Toyota President Koji Sato, who took over the top job from Toyoda on April 1, was not at the news conference.

For Daihatsu, which became a wholly owned Toyota subsidiary in 2016 when Toyoda was president, Southeast Asia is an important market, with production facilities in Indonesia and Malaysia, though it has no factories in Thailand.

Thailand is Toyota’s fourth-biggest global center by production volume after Japan, the U.S. and China. It produced some 659,000 vehicles, including models of its luxury brand Lexus, in the country last year.

He has said that late Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej was the only global leader who expressed his confidence in the company after a string of massive recalls prompted U.S. investigations and forced him to testify before Congress in 2010.

West must be ready for unfavorable outcome in Ukraine – EU country’s leader

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine may not end in victory for Kiev, and its Western backers should prepare for such an outcome, Czech President Petr Pavel has told The Guardian newspaper.

“I think we should do anything… at our disposal to encourage Ukrainians and to support them to be successful. But internally, we should also be ready for other contingencies,” said Pavel, who was in London for the coronation of King Charles III.

A lot will depend on the outcome of Ukraine’s planned spring counteroffensive, explained the Czech leader, who has a background in intelligence and served as chairman of the NATO Military Committee between 2015 and 2018.

Kiev shouldn’t “underestimate the Russians because they have enough manpower, they still have enough equipment,” he added.

“And of course, being in defense makes it easier for them because Ukraine will have suffered terrible losses, even if they are well prepared. So attacking an enemy like Russia will be difficult and Russians will not be caught by surprise.”

The Czech president, who visited Kiev with his Slovak counterpart Zuzana Caputova in late April, said Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky had been asking them for ammunition. Those in Kiev believe they still don’t have everything they need to launch the counteroffensive, he added.

There “might be a temptation to push them, for some, to demonstrate some results,” but the Ukrainians must be allowed to fully prepare for the assault on Russian lines, Pavel warned.

“It will be extremely harmful to Ukraine if this counteroffensive fails, because they will not have another chance, at least not this year,” he stated.

In late April, Zelensky assured foreign journalists that the “counteroffensive will happen” and expressed hope that it would be successful. Ukrainian Defense Minister Aleksey Reznikov also said Kiev’s troops were “generally ready for the push” and were only awaiting orders from senior officials.

However, a report by Politico a few weeks ago claimed that Ukraine’s prime backer, the US, had concerns that the impact of the counteroffensive could fall short of expectations.

Russia, which has been building fortifications along the frontline for the past six months, has been saying that it’s ready to repel the attack. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin warned last week that the counteroffensive would have “deplorable consequences” for Kiev.

Massive drone, missile strikes reported in Ukraine

Air raid sirens were blaring across Ukraine in the early hours of Monday as Ukrainian officials and media reported a series of Russian drone and missile attacks.

The Ukrainian military claimed to have shot down 35 kamikaze drones over Kiev. Authorities in the capital said falling debris injured five people and damaged an apartment block along with approximately 20 vehicles. In addition, a diesel tank was punctured, although this did not lead to a fire, officials said.

Ukrainian media reported, citing the military, that at around midnight local time, Russian Air Force bombers launched eight missiles, at least one of which struck a warehouse in Odessa Region.

The head of the local military command, Yuri Kruk, said Monday morning’s bombardment caused a massive fire, and that one person is unaccounted for.

Meanwhile, commenting on the overnight strikes, Vladimir Rogov, a senior Russian official in Zaporozhye Region, claimed on his Telegram channel that a missile strike had destroyed an ammunition depot used by the Ukrainian military.

Ukrainian media have also reported explosions in the Chernigov and Dnepropetrovsk Regions, as well as the city of Zaporozhye.

Chinese scour Thailand for homes, looking to offset risks after pandemic

Shanghai resident Daniel Bian drank in the sweeping views over the Thai capital as he lay on a deckchair beside a swimming pool on the 19th floor of a luxury condominium.

"I feel alive. I feel free," said an excited Bian, dapper in tinted sunglasses, flat-topped navy blue hat and a wraparound tunic cinched at the waist, his hair hanging loosely to his shoulders. "This is my dream."

Cooped up in China for three years under some of the world's toughest curbs against COVID-19, Bian is among a flood of mainland Chinese hunting for property buys in the southeast Asian nation since Beijing opened its borders this year.

Many Chinese are eager to invest in a residence overseas, keen for a safety net in case of a similar disease outbreak, and also to hedge against economic risks at home.

Thailand was the most popular outbound destination for Chinese travelers during the May labour day holiday, data from website Trip.com showed, followed by Japan and South Korea.

And the Southeast Asian nation's good international schools and quality medical facilities are drawing increasing numbers keen to acquire a second home.

Thailand expects at least 5 million Chinese visitors this year, some set to buy property, although the figure is still a far cry from the era before COVID, when they made up nearly a third of the 40 million arrivals.

"There is definitely demand from China for properties in Thailand," said Mesak Chunharakchot, the president of the Thai Real Estate Association.

Topping buyers' lists are locations in major cities such as the capital, Bangkok, along with Chiang Mai in the mountainous north, the east coast beach resort of Pattaya and the northeastern region of Isan, he added.

"Chinese are buying houses, sending their children to international schools and having their parents come stay in Thailand to take care of the grandkids."

Nearly 270,000 Chinese tourists visited Thailand in March, government data shows, a three-year high, though well below the figure of 985,227 in March 2019, before the pandemic took hold.

The share of Chinese students at Singapore International School Bangkok (SISB.BK) rose to 12% to 13% early this year, or 400 from a student body of 3,100 on four campuses, outstripping the figure of 6% during pre-pandemic 2019.

"In China, when things are closed - it's overnight, nobody can go out," the school's chief executive, Kelvin Koh, told Reuters. "This affected the behaviour of Chinese families."

Despite Thai rules that limit foreign ownership to just 49% of the units in any condominium development, prospective buyers are pouring in, bringing business to real estate agents who target Chinese buyers.

One such agent is Owen Zhu, who escorted Bian, 50, and his 70-year-old mother, fashionable in close-fitting white dress topped off with matching hat and veil, through viewings of three high-end apartments in Bangkok during a day-long property tour.

"It has changed a lot after the pandemic. Most of the Chinese choose to buy luxury apartments to live in," said Zhu.

Many clients who earlier bought for investment purposes have now zeroed in on property typically costing more than 2 million yuan ($290,000), he added.

"The budget can only buy a simple home in China's first-tier cities, and its location might not be good," Zhu said.

"But with that money they can buy a luxury apartment in the heart of Bangkok. Therefore some would sell one of the houses in China and buy a property here for retirement."

Bian, who organises cultural exchanges between China and other countries, also sees fewer constraints in Thailand.

"The freedom to enter or leave the country, to travel back and forth. As well as the freedom of society, and life. Freedom is very important," Bian said.

Driver arrested after 7, including migrants, killed in Brownsville, Texas

At least seven pedestrians were killed and several others injured on Sunday when an SUV mowed down people near a homeless shelter that attends to migrants in Brownsville, Texas, police said.

The male driver was in custody, Lieutenant Martin Sandoval of the Brownsville Police Department said, adding he was charged with reckless driving and could face additional charges.

Sandoval said the victims in the morning crash were waiting at a bus stop near Ozanam Center, a shelter for the homeless used by migrants. He said some migrants were among the dead.

"We are doing an investigation in forms of intoxication to see if he was intoxicated at the time of the accident," said Sandoval on Fox News.

It was not clear if the driver had crashed into the group intentionally or lost control of the vehicle, Judge Eddie Trevino Jr. of Cameron County was quoted as telling the New York Times.

There no immediate details on how many people were injured or their condition.

The city of Brownsville, on the border with Mexico, is one of the places expecting an influx of migrants when COVID-era restrictions under Title 42 expire on Thursday.

A video circulating online purporting to show the crash shows a speeding SUV plowing into a row of people sitting on the curb. A second video of the aftermath appears to show victims lying on the ground, some bloodied and writhing, while others lay motionless.

We were not able to independently verify the authenticity of the videos.

The driver, identified as a Hispanic man, is being "uncooperative" with authorities, according to Sandoval. He has given authorities multiple names, and police have had to fingerprint him in hopes of finding his identity -- which takes more time, Sandoval said.

Authorities have a blood sample from the driver and a toxicology test will be ordered, Sandoval said. It's unclear how long it will take for authorities to get those results, he said.

Brownsville police are investigating with the help of Border Patrol, he added.

Sandoval said authorities are still investigating whether the crash was intentional or accidental. He said witnesses described seeing the driver ignore a red light, drive up on a curb and run over a group of people waiting at the bus stop.

The shelter has been housing immigrants while they wait for more permanent housing, he said.

Brownsville is located on the southern tip of Texas, just across the Rio Grande River. The city's population is nearly 95% Hispanic or Latino, according to the 2022 census.

Brownsville declared a state of emergency after receiving an influx of thousands of migrants, many from Venezuela, in the past several weeks, CNN media previously reported.

The crash happened just days before a Trump-era immigration restriction dubbed Title 42 is set to expire. The pandemic-era policy allowed immigration agents to swiftly return migrants to their home countries. Officials have predicted a rise in immigration in coming weeks when the restrictions are lifted Thursday.

Shelter director says surveillance footage captured horrific crash Victor Maldonado, the director of the Ozanam Center, told CNN that about 20 to 25 migrants were sitting on the curb waiting for a bus across the street from the shelter. He said surveillance video captured the deadly wreck with footage showing a vehicle driving very quickly, crashing about 30 feet from where the migrants were sitting and then losing control.

Police took Maldonado's copy of the surveillance video, he said.

The migrants were from Venezuela and had arrived at the shelter about two or three days ago, Maldonado said.

Maldonado said after the crash, he and a staff member at the shelter ran outside to find a very graphic scene, with body parts spread across the area.

"I've got a staff [member] who is in shock," Maldonado said, adding that he, too, was in shock
