Legislative Oversight

The legislature as First Estate of the realm represents citizens and sovereignty. It makes the law, serve as checks on the activities of the executive (oversight) and represent the citizens in constituencies. The responsibility of the Parliaments is to guarantee that accountability and transparency of government activities are maintained in order to curb misuse of public funds, corruption, while effecting good practices. It also scrutinizes the nominees for top government positions by the executive arm while it ensures that the requests sent by the executive are properly examined in order to avoid inefficiency and non-performance. However, the paper relying on secondary research method and data gathering discover that limited political will by legislators, inadequate funds, deteriorating infrastructural facilities, pressure from the Executive, predominance of inexperience legislators in the art of lawmaking and the tendency to place a higher premium of personal and pecuniary interests at the expense of public interests are antithetical to the effective legislative power of summons and appointment ratification in the National Assembly. Therefore, the paper recommended that there is a need for legislators to shun mediocrity and rise above pecuniary, sectional and party interests in favour of the protection of democracy and its practices.

Public interests in coming futures of Korea continue to be increasing. Fears on uncertainties and pending challenges as well as demands on a new but Korea-own development model trigger a quantitative increase of futures research and relevant organizations in both public and private. The objective of this paper is to review history of futures studies and national development plan and strategy linked with foresight along with its challenges and recommendations. This paper identifies drawbacks and limits of Korea foresight such as misapplication of foresight as a strategic planning tool for modernization and economic development and its heavy reliance on government-led mid- and long-term planning. As a recommendation, an implementation of participatory and community-based foresight is introduced as a foundation for futures studies in Korea. A newly established research institute, the National Assembly Futures Institute, has to be an institutional passage to deliver opinions of the public, a capacity-building platform to increase the citizen’s futures literacy, and a cooperative venue for facilitating a participation and dialogue between politicians, government officials, and researchers.

Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana perspektif maqāṣid al-syarīʻah terhadap pengawasan internal yang terkandung dalam Peraturan Pemerintah No. 60 Tahun 2008 tentang Sistem Pengendalian Intern Pemerintah. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode penelitian kepustakaan dengan pendekatan yuridis-normatif yang dipadukan dengan pendekatan maqāṣidī. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengawasan internal secara maqāṣid al-syarīʻah, dianggap sebagai bagian dari al-maṣlaḥah al-ḥājjiyyah, dan berfungsi sebagai wasā‟il (sarana). Pengawasan internal merupakan sarana untuk memudahkan penyelenggaraan pelayanan publik supaya dapat berjalan sesuai dengan aturan yang telah Allah tetapkan. Pengawasan internal merupakan bagian dari pemeliharaan agama dan harta dalam wujud pelaksanaan amar makruf nahi mungkar dan pertanggung  jawaban  terhadap  amanah  serta  pemeliharaan  atas  harta  umum  (public  fund). Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa secara umum konsep pengawasan internal yang diamanahkan dalam Peraturan Pemerintah tersebut telah sesuai dengan apa yang diinginkan oleh syarak, hanya saja masih harus dilakukan penyempurnaan pada sistem pengawasannya agar apa yang diinginkan oleh syarak dapat terimplementasi dengan baik.Abstract: The aim of the research is to find out how the perspective of maqāṣid al-syarīʻah towards internal supervision contained in Government Regulation No. 60 of 2008 About the Government Internal Control System. The study was conducted with a literature research method with a juridical-normative approach combined with the maqāṣidī approach. The results showed that internal supervision by maqāṣid al-syarīʻah, was considered as part of al-maṣlaḥah al-jiājjiyyah, and functioned as wasā'il (means). Internal supervision is a means to facilitate the implementation of public services so that they can run according to the rules that God has set. Internal supervision is part of the maintenance of religion and assets in the form of the implementation of amar makruf nahi mungkar and accountability for the mandate and maintenance of public assets (public funds). So it can be concluded that in general the concept of internal supervision mandated in the Government Regulation is in accordance with what is desired by the sharak, only that improvements must be made to its monitoring system so that what is desired by the sharak can be implemented properly.

The aim of this study is to understand the suffering of a patient with an illness, by using a secondary research method, that is, a qualitative meta-study. The primary data source of the meta-study includes "biographical reports". This project is based on a case study, in which the first-hand experiences of a patient with an illness were collected. The findings of the reports were compiled using the Archivos de la Memoria collection of the Index Foundation (Granada, Spain) and journals specialized in editing these materials. A selection of 20 biographical reports was targeted. The results of the meta-study show that suffering is a multidimensional process within a framework of ambiguous feelings. The suffering involves family and social network participation. Patients develop a range of strategies to overcome the illness. One of the effects is the fear of illness relapse or worsening.
