In response to the growing interest in cruising in Southeast Asia,
Carnival Corporation will be introducing the largest deployment by a
premium cruise line in the region when it brings the Sapphire Princess
to Singapore for a five-month fall 2014 to spring 2015 season.

One unique itinerary of note is a 10-day Indonesia cruise that visits Jakarta, Bali, Komodo Island and Lombok. It will depart on Jan. 13, 2015.
“Princess Cruises will be the first premium cruise line to have ships based in Singapore for an extended period,” said Alan Buckelew, chief operations officer of Carnival in a statement issued to The Jakarta Post recently.
The 116,000-ton Sapphire Princess carries 2,670 passengers.
Approximately 40,000 passengers are expected to be carried during this first season of cruising from Singapore.
Passengers will be sourced from Singapore and throughout Asia, in addition to other international markets, including the US, the UK and Australia.

Princess Cruises was catapulted to stardom in 1977 when its ship, Pacific Princess, was cast in the starring role in the television show The Love Boat.
The weekly series, which introduced millions of viewers to the concept of a sea-going vacation, was an instant hit and both the company name and its “seawitch” logo have remained synonymous with cruising ever since. /(ren/nfo)

National Car Name's ESEMKA
Jakarta:The Kiat Esemka Sport utility vehicle (SUV) is not the first car to be produced by Indonesia. According to Wikipedia, national automotive businessmen have developed 16 other brands since the 1990s. Unfortunately, most of the innovative projects collapsed due to problems including the monetary crisis and political turbulence in 1998.
Bakrie and Brothers developed the first national car in 1994. The Beta 97 MPV minibus was designed by UK-based automotive designer, Shado. The prototype of Beta was released in 1997 but the development was terminated due to the monetary crisis.
A year later, President Soeharto issued a policy on the development of a national car, Timor, which was short f orTeknologi Industri Mobil Rakyat. His youngest son, Hutomo Mandala Putra, developed the Timor S515 sedan, which was a derivation of Korea’s Kia Sephia 1995. Further developments were halted due to the monetary crisis.
At the same time, Timor, B.J. Habibie, the then research and technology minister, designed a car called Maleo. The 1,200 cc car was made with 80 percent local components and was supposed to be sold at Rp30 million. The development also ended as the research fund was used for Timor.
However, not all national car projects failed. Besides Esemka, there are currently several brands that are ready to be marketed, such as the GEA mini car produced by PT Industri Kereta Api, Nuri and Tawon produced by PT Super Gasindo Jaya, Marlip electric car produced by the Indonesia Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and off road car, Komodo, which was released by PT Fin Komodo Teknologi.
The Industry Ministry’s land transportation industry director, Supriyanto, said that Indonesia could produce its own cars within the next five years. To support the design development, the government will provide incentives, including research and human development support. “So far, Indonesia only assembled cars, while the designs are made overseas,” he said.

ASEAN Has Good Single Currency Prospect
Diponegoro University economist Nugroho SBM said in Semarang Friday that ASEAN
remains an important geopolitical and economic power in Asia, and even in the world, and therefore a single currency will strengthen it against pressure from the US dollar for instance.With ASEAN having a single currency, he said, the strong effect of the US dollar in that part of the world would be sterilized and thus strengthening the monetary position of the ASEAN countries.
"It would take a very long time. The European Union alone needed 60 years before agreeing to use the euro as a single currency, bit it would be better to discuss the foundation of an ASEAN single currency from now on," he said.
He said Indonesia
, Malaysia
, Singapore
, Thailand
, and the Philippines
may serve as a driving power for the formation of a single currency because they have a dominating trade volume among the ASEAN member countries.He also said that it is indeed not easy to form an ASEAN single currency because such a great idea will be facing an obstacle from the countries with an already strong currency and did not wish their monetary data be known to other countries.
"The formation of a single currency needs central interbank transparency while not all the central banks of the member countries are open to information. This is one of the serious obstacles," he said.
Nugroho predicted that China and India will be playing an increasing important role in the world economy and in the Asian region which was marked with the huge trade volume of the two countries with the ASEAN member countries.
According to data, ASEAN trade with India in 2010 stood at 50 billion US dollars, while China has since the introduction of the China
-ASEAN free trade set a target of its trade with ASEAN of 500 billion US dollars by 2015. Stop Violance In Palestine
