[caption id="attachment_136515" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Amprokan Blogger Bekasi"][/caption] This month, September 17 and 18, 2011,  were special days for some Indonesian Bloggers. They have gathered in an unforgettable moment, place, and of course, memory, in Bekasi Asrama Haji. They have convinced themselves, that Blogger is not ordinary man, due to Blogger is agent of change. Why we should be proud of that Blogger is agent of change? Yes, because Blogger should be creative in letting their mind to write anything which is beneficial for others. The Bloggers who came to the Bekasi Asrama Haji were not only from Bekasi Blogger Community, but also those who are from other city or region all over Indonesia.  They are from Maluku, Jogjakarta, Surabaya, Palembang, Padang, Kalimantan (Borneo), Semarang, Solo, Brebes, Purwokerto, Karawang, Purwakarta, Bogor, Lampung, and some unlisted city from Indonesia. They have similar willingness, that is to color Indonesia from the Blogger perspectives. They will share whatever can be shared both during and after the Amprokan. And of course, they come from different province of Indonesia, which are of course have different cultures and unique things that probably others don't. The two days meeting have been motivating and inspiring occasion for all Bloggers. The committee have provided some special programs during the first day up to the second day. The Minister of Communication and Information, Mr. Tiffatul Sembiring has attended the program. In the opening speech, the Minister adressed the member a touching question, "What actually will unify Indonesian people after 2014 or after the big election?" The question will stimulate Bloggers to answer, what things can be adopted to make Indonesia for being the real united Indonesia? Indonesia for all. Of course, this question actually was addressed to all Indonesian people. There were many well known Blogger figures invited to come to the program. Hosted by Mr. Iman Brotoseno, the IT master, Mr. Onno W. Purbo had presented generally of how to be good netter in the internet ages.  Bloogers were also lectured about legal aspect  by Mr. Anggara Suwahyu that should be highlighted by Bloggers in publishing the writing in blog. Mr. Nukman Luthfie, a senior Blogger had motivated blogger to be "Lighting Writers or Bloggers" who always care with some local and current cultures and ethics.  Also Mr. Donny BU, from the ICTWacth which concern with healthy internet, gave a lot of tricks to be good netter. In the second day, actually was planned to visit Mangrove forest to view the current condition in Muara Gembong. Inspite of the cancellation to visit Mangrove, the Bloggers finally visited Jababeka Garden and Situ Bekasi.

We flew up some birds as the signing of the environment awareness. We were presented about green land awareness by Mr. Eka Budianta. Then some couples hour we visit some illegal lake making, that which is illegally made by some illegal and greedy businessman to explore the sand inside the Bekasi land. They are in Desa Serdang Baru, South Cikarang, Bekasi Region. [caption id="attachment_136523" align="alignright" width="300" caption="The victim of black mining and illegal business in Bekasi. (Photo by Gugun 7)"][/caption] According to a local prominent figure, the number of illegal lake (situ) is more than 50 lakes. The illegal sand mining has occurred more around 30 years and there have not been effort from the government of Indonesia to stop the ecology wickedness. When we went there, we were the eye witnesses of the wickedness. There were many trucks prepared to carry the explored sand to some black marketer. We just stand without action. We were speechless while watching the mining activities. The miner were working hard while we came there. They did not care about the environment.... WHO CARES, WHO CARES, WHO CARES, WHO CARES,....................... We see, We cry, We protest, We written.....
