Taufik Hidayat Quiting National Badminton Team
After 13 years of service, which culminated in an Olympic
gold medal, shuttler 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.
