Policy Analysis berjudul Tantangan Penanggulangan Penyalahgunaan Lembaga Amal untuk Pendanaan Terorisme merupakan produk pengetahuan yang diproduksi oleh I-KHub BNPT sejalan dengan visi membangun I-KHub BNPT sebagai center of excellence. Policy Analysis ini ditulis oleh Amelia Fauzia, seorang guru besar bidang Sejarah Peradaban Islam di Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta dan ahli dalam bidang Filantropi Islam.

Problematika Penanggulangan Pendanaan Terorisme Melalui Lembaga Amal memfokuskan kepada fenomena lembaga-lembaga amal yang terkait dengan kelompok teroris. Policy Analysis ini mencoba mengidentifikasi masalah-masalah yang muncul terkait penanggulangan kasus pendanaan terorisme melalui lembaga amal dan aktivitas filantropi serta merekomendasikan kebijakan yang bisa diambil oleh pemerintah, organisasi masyarakat sipil, dan lembaga amal.

Sumber pendanaan terorisme yang berasal dari lembaga amal serta publik yang turut menyumbang kepada lembaga amal juga turut menjadi korban dari penyalahgunaan dana sumbangan yang diberikan. Sehingga pencegahan kamuflase dan penyalahgunaan dana amal untuk tujuan yang bertentangan dengan filantropi, dan sebagai upaya memperkuat sektor filantropi menjadi fokus pembahasan dalam Policy Analysis ini. Terdapat 3 (tiga) praktik baik dalam upaya penanggulangan pendanaan terorisme pada lembaga amal yaitu (i) advokasi asosiasi forum zakat untuk pencegahan potensi penyalahgunaan dana amal; (ii) penguatan pencegahan melalui regulasi dan pelibatan multi-stakeholder; (iii) pemanfaatan teknologi informasi dengan aplikasi pengkolektifan data.

Policy Analysis Tantangan Penanggulangan Penyalahgunaan Lembaga Amal untuk Pendanaan Terorisme turut menyajikan rekomendasi strategis dan operasional bagi BNPT serta kementerian dan lembaga terkait dalam semangat akselerasi implementasi RAN PE yang tepat guna dan berdaya guna.

Waving hands charity

What? Yes, I think waving hands might be included as charity. This thought came after I and my family went by an old train called Puffing Billy.

Puffing Billy is an old steam train for tourists who want to know rain forests in Dandenong. The area is like a Puncak area in Cianjur, East Java, but not so spectacular like Puncak area. This puffing billy has been modificated to be suitable for tourists, not only the train itself but also all staffs work for puffing billy. The conductors and train machinists work to check tickets and to run the trains, and, most importantly, as an artists who should smile all the time to be pictured with passangers.

All passangger were very happy. They waved their hands to most of people who were looking at the train which passed by. We passed by many different peoples but mostly were children who were playing with their families and car passenggers who waited for our train to pass by. Perhaps the passanggers of Puffing Billy were quite exagerated with their happiness of going by an old train so they waved their hands to all people they saw. I was surprised to see that most of the people waved their hands back to us. Some were anthusiastically waved their hands, supporting and adding the happiness of the train' passanggers. Few children intendedly stood at the back of their homes to wave their hands to puffing billy passenggers.

My husband jokingly said that the municipality has advised these people who live nearby puffing billy to wave their hands anytime they see this train pass by. That is may be the case in the New Order era in Indonesia, but not here in Australia. Waving hands are significant aspect in this puffing billy and dandenong tourism, that without them going by an old train is sober.

This experience made me thought seriously that waving hands is also a charitable activity.
