The Malind tribe in Merauke is proud of its ecological traditions - each clan in the tribe is responsible for protecting a natural element. The Moiwend clan is responsible for the coconut trees and fruit. However, in recent times Malind youth have started using coconuts to make alcohol. The home-made drinks – which are much cheaper to buy than beer and spirits - have added to the town's problems. Now, some Malind elders are calling for the reinstatement of customary laws that would punish those who make use of coconuts in this way in order to save their tradition and their community.

At the same time, the victims of malpractices whose right have been violated almost all end up with zero results when comes to justice. The Conspiracy Of Silence is deeply woven inside the corps of Indonesian medical doctors. Whereas, the rights of patients are consciously silenced and ignored without any protection from the government. Read more…
