Highly Anticipated Coldplay Concert Sparks Ticket War, Frauds, and Homophobic Debate in Indonesia

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - The November concert in Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Stadium will mark the first time the band Coldplay is performing in Indonesia. Coldplay fans in Indonesia felt nervous and could not relax as they prepared to buy the tickets on 17 May 2023. 

They tried their best, but some didn't succeed. For many people, the tickets were flying away from their reach too quickly. Social media users posted screenshots that they could not even access the ticket website because over 500,000 people were on the waiting list already. 

Through chaos as the ticket war swirled, it became us against the world situation. The ticket war in Indonesia has been very fierce in recent years; Tickets for K-pop concerts are usually fully booked within minutes. Last month, ticket sales for the Japanese band Radwimps also quickly booked. (Radwimps was the opening act for Coldplay's concert in Japan.) 

Life goes on, it gets so heavy for some fans. Struggling with the feeling that the ticket isn't theirs, some choose to find ticket resellers on Twitter. Buying tickets on Twitter is often a risky venture, but for some it is too tempting. And dozens of people were defrauded. 

Last week, the police said there were 14 people who collectively lost Rp30 million ($2,015) as they tried to buy the Coldplay tickets on social media.

After all the scams that occured, police said at least 60 people became victims per Tuesday. They lost Rp183 million ($12,293) in total.

The Jakarta Metropolitan Police also arrested a young couple aged 22 and 24 who scammed people with Coldplay tickets. 

Spokesperson of the national police, Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, said the police received reports of fraud in the Jakarta area, Riau Islands, and Middle Java. Vice President Ma'ruf Amin also reminded the public to be careful.

"Regarding the Coldplay tickets, yes, I suppose it's not just Coldplay, but also in everything that the public be careful so not to be duped easily," said the 80-year-old VP.

Calls from Rejection

Chris Martin has been a strong advocate for gay rights. The conservative groups in Indonesia use that as the pretext to reject the band. 

The strongest voice comes from PA 212 (Persaudaraan Alumni 212 or Brotherhood Alumni of 212) which strongly rejects Coldplay. But the moderate Indonesia Ulama Council (MUI) also voiced their rejection. The deputy head of MUI Anwar Abbas highlights Coldplay's support toward LGBT community, and he believes Coldplay would ruin the morality in the country.

In Indonesia, the political support toward gay rights in Indonesia is rather dim. Populist politicians and public figures often avoid the advocacy issues to protect the LGBT community. Although ironically, homosexual artists such as Troye Sivan, Sam Smith, and Freddie Mercury are immensely popular in the country.

The government of President Joko Widodo has tried to de-escalate the situation. Minister for Tourism Sandiaga Uno said he has heard the opinions from the religious figures while ensuring the legality of Coldplay's concert. 

"We have opened communication and wanted to hear the inputs and suggestions from the ulamas as a part of our [efforts] to ensure that this concert is within the legal corridor in Indonesia," said Sandiaga. 

Sandiaga said that Coldplay's concert will be beneficial for the economy and tourism. The minister also hopes that Coldplay will be able to have a second day concert in Jakarta.

In 2012, Lady Gaga's concert was finally cancelled after dangerous threats from the conservative groups. Lady Gaga, who is also a strong LGBT rights advocate, was dubbed as vulgar and satanic. 

Since the rejection, Lady Gaga has gained more power and popularity, including winning an Oscar. But Lady Gaga still has not visited Indonesia.

The generic structure of News Item 

1. Headline: Highly Anticipated Coldplay Concert Sparks Ticket War, Frauds, and Homophobic Debate in Indonesia

2. Newsworty Event: Coldplay band ticket war in Indonesia and Coldplay's offer in Indonesia by some Muslim citizens in Indonesia because the vocalist voiced the rights of LGBT

First Day Pelajaran Bahasa Inggris di Kelas 11

 Assalamualaikum lur, hi back again on my blog this time I will share my experience learning English for the first time in grade 11 with Miss Fatma

  The first material given was about dialogue while at the airport. Here we provide an example of a dialogue at the airport, after which you are asked to do the questions below. Now, when answering questions, you are selected by one another to go forward to show answers to questions that have been worked on. Starting from women then men, and so on. During this session it was the most exciting and fun, because it cut off the ability to read, write and speak in front of the class in English. This really makes our English skills improve because we practice it directly in front of the class. Even though there is still a slight mispronunciation that makes some friends laugh🤣. For learning on the first day it was very enjoyable because it was the first time learning with Ms. Fatma. The material provided is also easy to understand so it is not difficult to do the questions given. We also pay to do assignments with a predetermined timeframe so that we can train us to work quickly and precisely to practice our English skills.

Contoh Historical Recount Text

 For more than 30 years, Indonesia was governed by Suharto as the president after the era of President Soekarno. As the people started to feel injustice, several cracks emerged that shook the political condition. Political tensions in the capital city increased by the numerous riots that occurred in several cities and violent ethnic clashes.

  The government became unstable and struggled as a monetary crisis hit Asia in the second half of 1997. Indonesia suffered the most. Prices rose massively and many businesses went bankrupt. As the economy fell down, people got angry and protests occurred everywhere. The protests became bigger and riots started in many parts of Indonesia.

  During the monetary crisis, Suharto could maintain his position as president when he was re-elected in March 1998. However, Suharto did not do anything that could help the economy. As the government seemed helpless in bringing the economy back, people demanded President Suharto to step down.

  Demonstrations were held everywhere and it became the peak with the Trisakti incident on 12 May 1998. Four students were shot to death when demonstrating at Trisakti University at Jakarta and 9 students were killed at Semanggi. The incident led to huge riots in Jakarta and various cities all over Indonesia. Finally, Suharto was pushed to step down and the reformation era began in Indonesia.

  After that we went over to my mother's to ask for money because my brother want to play flying fox. After being given the money we go to the flying fox game. My brother was very excited to try it because this was his first experience playing flying fox. He was very happy while gliding on the fying fox. After arriving at the destination point, I approached him and led him back to the starting point to remove the safety.

  When we come back and go to my mother. We were offered to eat first. I also feel embarrassed to eat, but yes, the name has been offered, so it must be accepted gracefully. We eat grilled fish and ice tea. Because there was still a lot of food left, some moms also wrapped the food for they family at home, including my mother. After it was finished, the chairman closed the event and after finishing, we are going home. After arriving home I felt glad and happy after go there.

Mengenal Describing a person atau Deskripsi Seseorang

Describing a Person

  Hi friends selamat datang kembali di blog saya. Kali ini saya akan membahas tentang teks deskriptif yang berhubungan dengan manusia atau cara mendeskripsikan orang atau  describing a person.

 Sebelum itu kita harus mengenal terlebih dahulu apa itu teks deskripsi. Teks deskriptif atau descriptive text adalah teks yang bertujuan untuk menggambarkan atau menjelaskan sesuatu secara detail sehingga orang yang tidak melihat langsung bisa mengetahui seperti apa kira-kira bentuk aslinya. Tentunya berdasarkan persepsi masing-masing, tergantung apa yang dilihat dan rasakan.

  Lalu describing a person digunakan dalam keperluan apa saja?describing a person bisa digunakan dalam hal investigasi, seperti contoh nya mencari orang hilang, menjelaskan ciri-ciri korban atau pun pelaku, bisa juga untuk keperluan pendaftaran/perekrutan seperti contoh untuk menjadi tentara harus memiliki tinggi minimal berapa cm, atau akan bertemu sesorang yang belum pernah kita temui dan lain sebagainya. 

 Struktur yang digunakan dalam teks deskriptif terdiri atas identifikasi (pengenalan) dan deskripsi (penjelasan lebih rincinya/detail).

  Dalam mendeskripsian orang sebagai benda digunakan kata yang mewakili ciri wajah, badan, kebiasaan, profesi ,dll. Tapi tidak harus semuanya secara detail disebut atau dituliskan. Biasanya orang mendeskripsikan orang lain hanya berdasar ciri paling mencolok.

  Sebelum mendeskripsikan seseorang, kita perlu mengenal tiga aspek penting yang akan dibutuhkan; yakni adjectives, descriptive words/phrases, dan personality/characteristics.

1. Adjectives

Adjective atau kata sifat adalah kata-kata yang menggambarkan atau memodifikasi seseorang /benda/tempat/konsep dalam sebuah kalimat. Adjective dapat berlaku sebagai predikat, bisa juga untuk menjelaskan kata benda yang berhubungan dengan orang. Untuk keperluan descriptive text tentang seseorang, contohnya adalah sebagai berikut:

-Maria is smart and beautiful (Maria pintar dan cantik)

-Her parents are older than mine (Orangtuanya lebih tua dari orangtuaku)

-Amber has long, curly hair (Amber memiliki rambut keriting yang panjang)

-John is a long-legged guy (John adalah laki-laki berkaki panjang)

2. Descriptive words & phrases

Selanjutnya, kita perlu mengenal descriptive words atau kata deskriptif untuk menjelaskan tentang seseorang. Descriptive words juga bisa berupa adjective atau kata sifat. Berikut ini adalah beberapa contoh descriptive words/phrases yang berhubungan tentang ciri fisik seseorang.

Complexion(warna kulit):

light (putih)

fair (cerah)

tan (kecoklatan)

dark (gelap)

Height(tinggi badan):

tall (tinggi)

short (pendek)

of medium height(sedang)

Age(usia):

old (tua)

young (muda)

middle-aged (paruh baya)

elderly (tua, usia lanjut)

Build/Figure(bentuk tubuh):

small (kecil)

big (besar)

skinny (kurus)

slim (ramping)

fat (gemuk)

stocky (kekar)

uscular (berotot)

Looks(penampilan):

beautiful, pretty (cantik)

cute (imut, manis)

attractive (menarik)

cool (keren)

ugly (jelek)

3. Personality/characteristics

Dalam mendeskripsikan seseorang, seringkali kita juga menggambarkan kepribadian atau karakteristiknya. Tiap-tiap orang memiliki ragam sifat yang tidak hanya positif namun juga ada yang negatif. Di bawah ini ada beberapa contoh kepribadian/karakteristik seseorang dari yang baik serta yang buruk.

Good personal qualities Bad personal qualities

polite (sopan) selfish (egois)

honest (jujur) 

arrogant (sombong, angkuh)

optimistic (optimis) careless (ceroboh)

generous (murah hati, dermawan) 

short tempered(pemarah)

diligent (rajin) 

greedy (tamak, serakah)

confident (percaya diri) stingy (pelit)

trustworthy (dapat dipercaya)

Irresponsible (tidak bertanggung jawa

Word Order

Word order in English atau susunan kata dalam bahasa Inggris adalah bagian dari tata bahasa yang wajib diketahui. Mengapa? Karena susunan kata yang berbeda dalam bahasa Inggris bisa memiliki makna yang berbeda. Alhasil, jika teman-teman salah menyusun kata dalam sebuah kalimat, bisa jadi apa yang ingin disampaikan menyampaikan makna yang tak sesuai dengan maksud yang ingin teman-teman sampaikan. 

  Untuk menyusun kata setidaknya, teman-teman harus memiliki subject, verb, dan object. Susunan kata yang tepat pada jenis kalimat ini adalah subject diikuti oleh verb, lalu object.

Subject biasanya berupa orang, benda, atau tempat. Kemudian diikuti verb atau aksi yang dilakukan oleh subject.

Selain aksi, verb juga bisa berupa state of being atau keadaan objek tersebut. Lalu sama halnya dengan subject, object juga bisa berupa orang, benda, atau tempat yang mendapat verb dari subject.

Sebagai contoh, pada kalimat, “I eat banana,” kata “I” berperan sebagai subjek. Lalu kata, “eat” bertugas sebagai verb untuk menunjukkan aksi yang dilakukan oleh subjek.

Nah, sementara itu, “banana” adalah kata benda yang berperan sebagai object dalam kalimat tersebut. Berarti, “banana” mendapatkan perlakukan berupa “eat” dari “I”.

Berikut ini adalah contoh kalimat tentang deskripsi sesorang

Aldo is my friend from Jambi, he is very kind and handsome boy. (Aldo adalah temanku yang berasal dari Jambi, dia sangat baik hati dan ganteng) 

Donita is very thin and tall. (Donita sangat kurus dan tinggi)

Fitri is very beautiful, she's tall and slim. (Fitri sangat cantik, dia tinggi dan langsing)

He is bald, chubby, and cheerful. (Dia botak, gemuk dan periang) L

Sisca has long black curly hair. (Sisca punya rambut panjang yang keriting) 

Mahardika has brown and sharp eyes. (dia punya mata biru yang tajam) 

My father is very kind and calm. (Ayahku sangat baik hati dan tenang) She has pointed nose and white skin. (dia memiliki hidung panjang dan kulit putih) 

Shintya is my cousin, she is cute and cheerful. (Sintya adalah sepupuku, dia lucu dan ceria)

Yusuf is the smartest students in the class. (Yusuf adalah siswa yang paling pintar di kelas)

Sample

Dibawah ini adalah contoh teks tentang deskripsi sesorang

  I have a close friend named Olive. She is really smart. She always gets good grades. She is also kind and warm, that is why she has a lot of friends—especially because she is very helpful. She is still young, but she is really mature. She can give you great advice. She has fair skin and slim figure, also pretty face. You can say she is a kind of girl who is beautiful inside and outside.

Terjemahan:

(Saya memiliki teman dekat bernama Olive. Dia sangat pintar. Dia selalu mendapat nilai yang baik. Dia juga baik hati dan ramah, sebab itu dia punya banyak teman—khususnya karena ia suka menolong. Dia masih muda, namun dia sangat dewasa. Dia bisa memberi nasihat yang hebat. Dia memiliki warna kulit cerah dan tubuh yang ramping, serta wajah yang cantik. Dapat dikatakan dia adalah contoh perempuan yang cantik luar dalam).

Contoh simple describing a person

  My uncle is fat, has a thick mustache, a little beard but a bald head. Brown eyes, sharp nose with chubby cheeks because of his obesity. My uncle is very funny to tell stories and a little talkative.

Terjemahan 

Pamanku orangnya gendut, memiliki kumis tebal, sedikit jenggot namun kepala botak. Mata coklat, hidung mancung dengan pipi chubby karena kegemukannya. Pamanku sangat lucu pandai bercerita dan sedikit cerewet.

Saya akan akan memberi  contoh lain mendeskripsikan orang, saya akan mendeskripsikan adek perempuan saya

  I have a younger sister named Deanisa. My family call her "Nisa". She is still a toddler and he is only 1 year old. Her hair is long but on the forehead has not grown hair. Her teeth haven't grown much. She was able to walk at a young age. When he smiles his eyelids stick together making it look like she has narrow eyes. He also began to learn to speak and babble. When asked to count 1,2,3 she will scream on the count of three like this "satu, dua, tiii, GAAAA." Make it look funny and cute. She likes to play chase and laugh being chased.

Nah itu dia penjelasan mengenai describing a people atau deskripsi seseorang. Semoga bermanfaat bagi teman-teman semuanya. Terima kasih.
