Health is the basic right for everybody, therefore every citizen is entitled to get the health care. In enforcing the regulation for Jaringan Kesehatan Nasional (National Health Supports), it is heavily influenced by the foreign interests. Economically, this program does not reduce the people’s burdens, on the contrary, it will increase them. This means the health supports in which should place the government as the guarantor of the public health, but the people themselves that should pay for the health care. In the realization of the health support the are elements against the Syariah principles. Indonesian Muslim Religious Leaders (MUI) only say that the BPJS Kesehatan (Sosial Support Institution for Health) does not conform with the syariah. The society is asked to register and continue the participation in the program of Social Supports Institution for Health. The best solution is to enforce the mechanism which is in accordance with the syariah principles. The establishment of BPJS based on syariah has to be carried out in cooperation from the elements of Social Supports Institution (BPJS), Indonesian Muslim Religious (MUI), Financial Institution Authorities, National Social Supports Council, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Finance. Accordingly, the Social Supports Institution for Helath (BPJS Kesehatan) based on syariah principles could be obtained and could became the solution of the polemics in the society.

Enterprise Policy

AbstractIn recent years, social enterprises in Taiwan have experienced a period of growth and are becoming more diversified. At the same time, the government is paying more attention to fostering a policy-friendly environment for their development. Despite growing interest in social enterprises, research on this phenomenon remains limited in Taiwan. Using a cross-sectoral perspective, this study is based on qualitative data from in-depth interviews on social enterprises. There are three main findings, first, the development of Taiwan’s social enterprise policy is deeply affected by different sectors. Second, the roles of the sectors are distinct and there is frequent cross-sectoral cooperation. Third, there is still a gap between the government sector’s and other sectors’ views of the social enterprise policy.

In Islam there is an element of Sufism which is a very significant part of the existence of transformative Islam. From this transformative Islam the term transformative Sufism emerged. The transformative Sufism process will begin and center on marifah and tauhid. In the context of transformative Sufism, understanding of haqîqah starting from all the realities that bring people to the level of maahrifah must be realized / contextualized into the social-community context. Transformative Sufism is commonly found in Sufism assemblies in Indonesia, one of which is in the Maiyahan Mbah Nun Majlis (Ainun Nadjib) in Jogjakarta Province and Majlis Zikir Manakib Sheikh Abdul Qodir Al-Jailani KH. Ahmad Muzakki Syah in Jember Regency. These majlis events are interspersed with the planting of values and the development of Islamic teachings and nationalities, so that finally the event in this assembly can be beneficial for changes for the community, especially the istiqamah pilgrims who attend this majlis. Both of these assemblies are based on Ahlussunnah Wal Jamaah Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). As is known, through the direction and guidance of KH. Hasyim Asy'ari and strengthened again by KH. Ahmad Siddiq and KH. Abdurrahman Wahid, NU institutionally acknowledged and established the Pancasila values as the final basis for the Indonesian nation.

Abstract In response to difficulties faced by families in caring for the aged, the government of Taiwan launched a foreign live-in caregiver programme in 1992. This paper draws upon literature on family, domestic work and motives for caregiving to examine how the long-term co-residence of migrant live-in elder care-workers reconfigures Taiwanese families. Our analysis, based on in-depth interviews conducted in the summer of 2009 with 20 Vietnamese migrant live-in care-workers, uses the concept of ‘social family’ to document the close emotional and quasi-familial relationships between foreign care-workers and members of Taiwanese families. Narratives shed light on the dynamics of these relationships and show the limitations of the concept. The inherent asymmetrical employer-employee power relationship remains, while workers constantly negotiate contradictory feelings and positions in the intimate sphere of the employers’ private homes. This paper emphasizes the mutual dependency that migrants experience as both workers and members of a new family. Rather than being seen as cheap, disposable labour, migrants become indispensable to the families. It is this dependency and intimacy that make them part of the family, but also continues to make them vulnerable to abuse.
