later calmly recounted to reporters the amazing events that brought him back to
his family, a rare tale of happiness in the devastated province on the island
of Sumatra that has seen nearly 80,000 people killed by the flooding.
Nursing
only a gash to his left leg, Wira said he was playing with his brother and
sister near his home when the waters rushed through.
According

of wood while being swept away.
“I
was not afraid because I am used to the sea.” Wira said while massaging his
wounded leg.
“As
I was still holding to a door, the mattress came by so I decided to climb on
it. I was not afraid, but I was cold.”

said he spent two days out at sea until he was found by fisherman on the lookout
for bodies off coast of Meulaboh. –AFP

Taufik Hidayat Quitting National
Badminton Team After 13 years of service, which culminated in an Olympic gold
medal, shutters Taufik Hidayat announced Friday his resignation from the
national training camp in Jakarta. “My decision to resign is final. It’s not an
impulse or emotional decision. I’ve been thinking about quitting the national
team since 2004, after I won at the Athens Olympics,” he said. “However, people
kept on encouraging me to stay in the national team, considering my potential
and my youth. Therefore I stayed until 2008.” In 2001, Taufik threatened to
quit the training camp because of Mulyo’s exclusion. Mulyo is his mentor.
Heonly joined the national team after the head of PBSI Djoko Santoso has agreed
to restore Mulyo. In 2004, Taufik made yet another threat to quit, and again
backed down from it. “It’s time for younger players to take the baton. I’m
giving way to them. It’s all about regeneration in Indonesian badminton,” he
said.

Growing Number of High School
Student Smoking A survey has found about 13 percent of first-time smokers in
the country are junior high school students. It also revealed 89 percent of
young female employees were smokers. The survey was conducted in five major
cities across the country, including Surakarta in Central Java. Muhammad
Syahril Mansyur, the Surakarta Health Agency’s respiratory illness division,
said that the finding of the survey showed an alarming growth rate of
Indonesian smokers. "This situation is a cause for concern,” he said. “It
appears the country’s younger generation is uneducated about the health risks
of smoking.” The Indonesian anti-tobacco campaign has reportedly been deemed as
ineffective as the government refuses to sign the international convention on
tobacco control. It said that cigarette producers contributed to a large amount
to state revenue and gave jobs to thousands of workers.
