Cancer, can we live without it?

Benny YP Siahaan

      Sore dan malam ini (10/11) saya dan teman-teman kantor ke RS Long Island Jewish (LIJ) di Forest Hills dan Funeral Home di Elmhurst di Queens, New York.  Kami menjenguk seorang diaspora Indonesia di New York  yang sakit keras dan melayat warga Indonesia yang meninggal. Keduanya menghadapi penyakit yang sama: kanker, penyakit yang paling ditakuti abad ini dan sampai saat ini belum ditemukan obat yang manjur baik untuk preventif maupun  kuratifnya.

The Comparison Between Soekarno's and Jokowi's Initial Visit to the US

By Benny YP Siahaan

While many don’t really comprehend the logic behind President Jokowi’s decision not to attend one of the most historic events in New York, September 2015 -- Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reportedly President Jokowi decided to visit the US from Oct 25-28, 2015 to meet President Obama. The two leaders will discuss a wide range of global, regional, and bilateral issues of interest to both countries.
Nonetheless, critics have criticized the visit, claiming it is uneconomical for the VP and President to visit the same country in less than a month. The VP visited New York from 23 September to 2 Oct 2015.
