PLAN TO PROTECT VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN THE WAKE OF HUMANITARIAN CRISES

29 July 2013

Minister for International Development Melissa Parke today released a strategy that will guide the efforts of Australia’s aid program in protecting the rights of people left vulnerable by humanitarian disasters.

AusAID’s Protection in Humanitarian Action Framework will outline the agency’s approach to protecting the safety, dignity and rights of conflict and disaster-affected populations.

It explains what AusAID means by protection in humanitarian action, defines priorities and guides how AusAID will deliver humanitarian action through partners. The Framework has been developed through extensive consultations with government, humanitarian and non-government organisation partners.

“Australia is one of the world’s most responsive donors in the wake of humanitarian disasters,” Ms Parke said.

“The current crisis in and on the borders of Syria is a case in point and, in response, Australia has recently announced a further $21.5 million in humanitarian assistance.

“As we commit to providing all possible relief, we must also commit to ensuring human rights law is upheld in every way possible.”

Violations of human rights can be rife in the chaos caused during humanitarian disasters. Families are often separated and communities break down.

“Women and children are left particularly vulnerable to sexual violence, trafficking and recruitment into armed forces,” Ms Parke said. “People with disability and the elderly are also at risk of exclusion and other forms of harm.”

With the release of this Framework, AusAID is committing to increase support for protection in humanitarian action, through both funding and advocacy. To implement this framework effectively, AusAID will continue to develop the capacity of its staff and partners to better understand and incorporate protection into humanitarian programs.

At the end of 2012, more than 45 million people had been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence and human rights violations.

AusAID will work with its partners including governments, non-government organisations and the United Nations to prioritise the safety and dignity of affected populations.

“Guided by the principles espoused in the Framework we will seek to promote ways of working that protect those at particular risk of serious harm,” said Ms Parke.

$1.8m BOOST IN AUSTRALIAN AID FOR PEACE IN MINDANAO

31 July 2013

Foreign Minister Bob Carr and Minister for International Development Melissa Parke today announced Australia has granted an additional $1.8 million to support peace in Mindanao, southern Philippines.

‘Expanding our support for peace in Mindanao is a concrete statement of Australia’s concern for the poor of that long-suffering region, and our interest in the achievement of long-lasting peace,’ Senator Carr said.

Australia will give $1.3 million to the Mindanao Trust Fund to help improve livelihoods, health, and education in conflict-affected communities.

‘We commend the Philippine Government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front on their excellent progress towards peace. Australia is very proud to support their efforts. Peace is a pre-requisite for the development and poverty alleviation that is so sorely needed in this poverty-stricken part of the Philippines,’ Minister Parke said.

Australia will also provide $500,000 to the World Bank and UN to assist the Moro Islamic Liberation Front with training, policy advice and technical assistance to finalise the Bangsamoro Basic Law. This law will establish the new region of Bangsamoro, replacing the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. Australia’s support will strengthen law, justice and governance, and help out with transition programs for former combatants.

‘Australia shares the hope of the Philippine Government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front that a peace agreement will end the decades-long conflict. We will continue to work with our partners and the people of Mindanao to ensure the benefits of peace are felt by all,’ Minister Parke said.

In recent years around half of Australia’s aid program in the Philippines has gone to Mindanao. Australian aid is introducing education opportunities in vulnerable and remote communities where school-based education has not been possible due to decades of ongoing conflicts.

In the past twelve months Australian aid has helped open over 400 Community Learning Centres, providing access to basic education to more than 11,000 children in Mindanao.

Australian aid is also boosting the ability of local communities and security forces in the southern Philippines to work together to better manage conflict situations, as well as bringing women’s voices into peace negotiations.

AUSAID AND AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS WORKING TOGETHER TO HELP AFRICA'S POOR

30 July 2013

Minister for International Development, Melissa Parke, today met Australian businesses to discuss ways the private sector and Australia’s aid program can work together to help lift Africans out of poverty.

Ms Parke addressed an AusAID Africa Roundtable with Business in Perth, which looked at how the expertise and skills of Australia’s private sector can help drive employment, economic growth and development in Africa.

'Australia is recognised as a world leader in agricultural research, with expertise in areas such as dry-land farming, water and soil management,' Ms Parke said. 'We are also highly recognised in the area of mining for development and mining governance.

'The outlook for African economic growth and development is optimistic, and the effective, efficient and transparent management of these sectors, for the benefit of all Africans, is crucial to lifting more Africans out of poverty.'

The roundtable was attended by about 35 private sector representatives, predominantly from the mining and agricultural sectors, and included representatives from AngloGold Ashanti, Newcrest Mining, Aurecon, Intrasia Capital, the Australia-Africa Business Council and the Australia-Africa Mining Industry Group.

AusAID is already working with the private sector in a number of areas in Africa, including a public-private partnership to improve water resource management in Southern Africa, a pilot to build the capacity of seven African countries to prepare and manage mining-related infrastructure projects, and support for agriculture challenge funds which aim to stimulate private sector investment in projects that benefit the rural poor.

'Australia recognises that a growing private sector – the engine of economic growth – is fundamental to moving people out of poverty,' Ms Parke said.

'As a donor to Africa, it is essential that the Australian Government draws on the invaluable expertise of Australian business working there.'

The Africa Roundtable is part of AusAID’s broader Private Sector Development Strategy and follows other business roundtables in Indonesia, the Pacific, PNG and Myanmar.

PACIFIC SPORTS PARTNERSHIP GRANTS RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED

AusAID media release: Pacific Sports Partnerships grants recipients announced [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED] Kotak Masuk x webmaster@ausaid.gov.au 11.59 (21 jam yang lalu) ke info Minister for International Development, Melissa Parke Minister for Sport, Don Farrell Parliamentary Secretary for Pacific Island Affairs, Matt Thistlethwaite PACIFIC SPORTS PARTNERSHIP GRANTS RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED 26 July 2013 Minister for International Development, the Hon Melissa Parke MP, Minister for Sport, Senator the Hon Don Farrell and Parliamentary Secretary for Pacific Island Affairs, Senator the Hon Matt Thistlethwaite, today announced 11 Australian national sporting organisations have been selected to receive funding through the second phase of the Pacific Sports Partnerships (PSP) program. The government has granted $14 million through Australia’s aid program to help Australian national sporting organisations work with their regional partners in the Pacific to deliver sport-based programs that achieve key social development objectives. ‘We know sport can play an important role in helping to combat non-communicable diseases by getting people more active more often,’ Minister Parke said. Non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and chronic respiratory diseases are growing rapidly in the Pacific and cause 75 per cent of all adult deaths in the region. ‘The variety of sports and proposed activities selected will benefit a broad cross-section of Pacific Island communities, including girls and women, young people and people with disability.’ The successful organisations selected to receive funding are: - Australian Football League (Nauru and Papua New Guinea) - Athletics Australia (Fiji) - Badminton Australia (Tonga and Kiribati) - Basketball Australia (Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu) - Cricket Australia (Fiji, Vanuatu, Samoa and Papua New Guinea) - Football Federation Australia (region-wide) - Netball Australia (Tonga, Samoa and Vanuatu) - Australian Rugby Union (Samoa, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Tonga) - Swimming Australia (Fiji, Tonga and Samoa) - Table Tennis Australia (Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Kiribati) - Australian Volleyball Federation (Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Kiribati) The PSP has been supported by AusAID since 2010. This new phase of the PSP has been extended until 2017 and gives more organisations the opportunity to apply for funding. ‘Sport plays an important part in Pacific Island communities. Australia has invested in grassroots level sport in the Pacific for a long time, and the extension of the PSP for another four years will no doubt help foster strong relationships with our Pacific neighbours,’ Senator Thistlethwaite said. The Australian Sports Commission is working with the 11 organisations to develop their programs. Their activities and funding will be finalised in September. ‘Australia has long been seen as a leader in sport, at all levels. The PSP allows us to tap into Australia’s vast sporting networks and resources to support grassroots level sport in the Pacific. Helping promote healthier and more inclusive communities across the region is a highly rewarding result,’ Senator Farrell said.

4 Perusahaan ini disulap Dahlan jadi yang terbesar di Indonesia

Menteri Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) Dahlan Iskan tak hentinya menggaungkan jika pembangunan Indonesia tidak kalah dari negara lain. Dahlan mengaku bahwa Indonesia mempunyai modal yang lebih dari cukup untuk menjadi negara maju.

Di depan mahasiswa Universitas Islam Bandung, Dahlan Iskan menjelaskan bahwa beberapa negara maju dengan caranya masing-masing. Di antaranya adalah Taiwan yang maju berkat membangun perekonomian skala kecil yaitu melalui Unit Usaha Kecil dan Menengah (UKM).

Di sisi lain, Korea Selatan maju berkat konglomerasi yang berperan besar dalam kemajuan ekonomi. Sementara itu, Singapura melesat akibat perusahaan-perusahaan milik negara.

"Nah, Indonesia punya tiga-tiganya. Sehingga untuk bangkit sudah sangat cukup potensinya. Tinggal kita saja untuk memanfaatkan seluruh potensi keunggulan yang kita miliki," ujar Dahlan.

Dahlan menyatakan Indonesia juga mampu membuat perusahaan besar se-Tanah Air bahkan dunia. Setidaknya terdapat empat perusahaan di Indonesia yang menurutnya menjadi yang terbesar jika dilihat dari skala lokal maupun internasional.

1. PT Pabrik Gula Glenmore
Pabrik yang berlokasi di Jawa Timur menelan biaya pembangunan sekitar Rp 1,5 triliun. Proyek yang merupakan gabungan tiga PTPN ini diperkirakan selesai dalam 22 bulan ke depan.

Menurut Dahlan, pabrik terbesar di Indonesia ini, nantinya akan memproduksi produk utamanya yakni gula putih premium dan produk turunan seperti bio ethanol, bio fertilizer, dan pakan ternak. Pabrik ini akan dibangun dengan kapasitas pengolahan 6 ribu ton tebu per harinya dan akan ditingkatkan menjadi 8 ribu ton per hari pada akhirnya.

Pada awal produksi diharapkan perusahaan bisa memperoleh rendemen sebanyak 9 persen sehingga produksi gula putih premium bisa mencapai 9 ribu ton.

2. PT Petikemas Indonesia
Menteri BUMN Dahlan Iskan mengatakan akan mempersiapkan direksi dan komisaris terbaik untuk pimpin PT Petikemas Indonesia. Pembentukan perusahaan ini, Dahlan mengatakan perusahaan ini akan jadi perusahaan peti kemas terbesar nomor lima di dunia.

"Kalau PT itu terbentuk dalam dua minggu ini. Ini akan jadi terminal peti kemas terbesar nomor lima di dunia," ucap Dahlan dalam diskusi di Wisma Indonesia, Jakarta.

PT Petikemas Indonesia adalah holding perusahaan terminal kontainer di Indonesia, yang nantinya semua terminal kontainer bernaung dalam perusahaan tersebut.

Untuk direksi PT Petikemas Indonesia nantinya akan diisi oleh direksi Pelindo I, Pelindo II, Pelindo III, Pelindo IV. "Seluruh direktur Pelindo jadi komisaris. Direksi kita ambil yang paling baik," tutup Dahlan.

PT Petikemas Indonesia ini nantinya akan bekerjasama dengan pelabuhan-pelabuhan peti kemas di Indonesia seperti di Batam, Jakarta, Surabaya, Makassar. Pelindo akan memiliki saham terbesar dari perusahaan tersebut.

3. Bank Syariah Indonesia

Menteri BUMN Dahlan Iskan mengaku sedang memikirkan untuk membuat bank syariah di mana BUMN menjadi leadernya. Cara ini menurut Dahlan bisa saja dengan mengkonversi bank saat ini seperti BTN dan BRI.

Dahlan mengatakan, pasar syariah di Indonesia sangat menjanjikan. Dan juga saat ini Indonesia bisa menjadi negara yang mempunyai bank syariah terbesar di dunia.

"Pasar syariah terus pesat, sudah saatnya bank syariah bukan dari negara lain lagi, waktunya Indonesia," jelasnya.

Dahlan menjanjikan, dalam waktu tiga bulan ke depan akan mencari kesimpulan bagaimana cara membuat bank syariah besar ini. Apakah nanti dengan menyatukan anak usaha bank BUMN yang syariah ataupun mengkonvert perbankan BUMN saat ini menjadi bank syariah.

4. PT Semen Indonesia
Menteri Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) Dahlan Iskan melebur tiga perusahaan semen. Akhir tahun lalu sesuai rencana kerja sudah terbentuk holding semen yang diberi nama Semen Indonesia. Semen Indonesia ini membawahi 3 perusahaan semen yakni semen Gresik, Semen Tonasa dan Semen Padang.

Dahlan juga menjelaskan nantinya di bawah Semen Indonesia juga akan ada Semen Rembang. Produksi Semen Rembang saat ini mencapai 2 hingga 3 juta ton per tahun.

Menurutnya, holding semen ini merupakan langkah strategis di tengah krisis saat ini dan di sisi lain sejalan dengan upaya pemerintah menggenjot laju pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional. PT Semen Indonesia memiliki kemampuan dan kapasitas yang besar. Menurut Dahlan, manajemen Semen Indonesia sudah terbukti sangat andal. Manajemen yang berada di bawah CEO Dwi Soetjipto terbukti telah menjadikannya perusahaan semen terbesar di Asia Tenggara.

PT Semen Indonesia sudah mengalahkan raja Asia Tenggara, Siam Semen Thailand, dan semua pabrik semen di 10 negara lainnya. Tersedianya semen yang cukup sangat membantu pertumbuhan ekonomi. (*)

http://www.merdeka.com/uang/4-perusahaan-ini-disulap-dahlan-jadi-yang-terbesar-di-indonesia.html

Admin Note: Harusnya ada satu lagi, PT. Perkebunan Indonesia yang merupakan holding PTPN I-XIII. Kalau hodingisasi ini berhasil, PT. Perkebunan Indonesia ini akan menjadi perusahaan perkebunan terbesar di dunia. Sayang proses holdingisasi perkebunan ini masih terhambat birokrasi.

MATAHARI TERBIT DARI BARAT DIBENARKAN ILMUWAN FISIKA DAN MASUK ISLAM

MATAHARI TERBIT DARI BARAT DIBENARKAN ILMUWAN FISIKA DAN MASUK ISLAM

Ilmuwan Fisika Ukraina Masuk Islam Karena Membuktikan Kebenaran Al-qur’an Bahwa Putaran Poros Bumi Bisa Berbalik Arah
Demitri Bolykov, sorang ahli fisika yang sangat menggandrungi kajian serta riset-riset ilmiah, mengatakan bahwa pintu masuk ke Islamannya adalah fisika.

Sungguh suatu yang sangat ilmiah, bagaimanakah fisika bisa mendorang Demitri Bolyakov masuk Islam? Demitri mengatakan bahwa ia tergabung dalam sebuah penelitian ilmiah yang dipimpin oleh Prof. Nicolai Kosinikov, salah seorang pakar dalam bidang fisika.

Mereka sedang dalam penelitian terhadap sebuah sempel yang diuji di laboratorium untuk mempelajari sebuah teori moderen yang menjelaskan tentang perputaran bumi dan porosnya. Mereka berhasil menetapkan teori tersebut.

Akan tetapi Dimetri mengetahui bahwasanya diriwayatkan dalam sebuah hadis dari nabi saw yang diketahui umat Islam, bahkan termasuk inti akidah mereka yang menguatkan keharusan teori tersebut ada, sesuai dengan hasil yang dicapainya.

Demitri merasa yakin bahwa pengetahuan seperti ini, yang umurnya lebih dari 1.400 tahun yang lalu sebagai sumber satu-satunya yang mungkin hanyalah pencipta alam semesta ini.

Teori yang dikemukan oleh Prof. Kosinov merupakan teori yang paling baru dan paling berani dalam menfsirakan fenomena perputaran bumi pada porosnya. Kelompok peneliti ini merancang sebuah sempel berupa bola yang diisi penuh dengan papan tipis dari logam yang dilelehkan, ditempatkan pada badan bermagnit yang terbentuk dari elektroda yang saling berlawanan arus.

Ketika arus listrik berjalan pada dua elektroda tersebut maka menimbulkan gaya magnet dan bola yang dipenuhi papan tipis dari logam tersebut mulai berputar pada porosnya fenomena ini dinamakan “Gerak Integral Elektro Magno-Dinamika”. Gerak ini pada substansinya menjadi aktivitas perputaran bumi pada porosnya.

Pada tingkat realita di alam ini, daya matahari merupakan “kekuatan penggerak” yang bisa melahirkan area magnet yang bisa mendorong bumi untuk berputar pada porosnya. Kemudian gerak perputaran bumi ini dalam hal cepat atau lambatnya seiring dengan daya insensitas daya matahari.

Atas dasar ini pula posisi dan arah kutub utara bergantung. Telah diadakan penelitian bahwa kutub magnet bumi hingga tahun 1970 bergerak dengan kecepatan tidak lebih dari 10 km dalam setahun, akan tetapi pada tahun-tahun terakhir ini kecepatan tersebut bertambah hingga 40 km dalam setahun.

Bahkan pada tahun 2001 kutub magnet bumi bergeser dari tempatnya hingga mencapai jarak 200 km dalam sekali gerak. Ini berarti bumi dengan pengaruh daya magnet tersebut mengakibatkan dua kutub magnet bergantian tempat. Artinya bahwa “gerak” perputaran bumi akan mengarah pada arah yang berlawanan. Ketika itu matahari akan terbit (keluar) dari Barat !!!

Ilmu pengetahuan dan informasi seperti ini tidak didapati Demitri dalam buku-buku atau didengar dari manapun, akan tetapi ia memperoleh kesimpulan tersebut dari hasil riset dan percobaan serta penelitian.

Ketika ia menelaah kitab-kitab samawi lintas agama, ia tidak mendapatkan satupun petunjuk kepada informasi tersebut selain dari Islam. Ia mendapati informasi tersebut dari sebuah hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Abu Huarirah, bahwasanya Rasulullah saw bersabda, ”Siapa yang bertaubat sebelum matahari terbit dari Barat, maka Allah akan menerima Taubatnya.” (dari kitab Islam wa Qishshah).

BMW appoints Performance Motors Ltd as authorised dealer of new BMW i sub-brand

BMW i3 Concept Coupe (11/2012)

BMW i electric cars set to retail in Singapore in 2014.
 

Singapore – BMW Asia today announced Performance Motors Ltd (PML) as the sole authorised dealership in Singapore for BMW i – the latest BMW sub-brand for its electric cars.

Two BMW i cars have been confirmed for production, the fully-electric BMW i3 megacity vehicle and the plug-in hybrid BMW i8 sports car. The former is due to go on sale in Singapore by mid 2014.

With this appointment, PML will be equipped with specialist technical abilities that will enable them to carry out repairs to the BMW i vehicles’ high voltage batteries. A wider service network is also planned to offer extended coverage for the general service, maintenance and repair of the vehicles.

“As the most sustainable car brand in the world, BMW has always been clear on its strategy to build cars that are powerful yet fuel efficient and low on CO2 emissions. With the arrival of BMW i, we have most definitely taken this effort to a new level by setting new benchmarks across the industry,” said Mr Neil Fiorentinos, Managing Director of BMW Group Asia. “Through the appointment of Performance Motors Ltd as our official BMW i dealer in Singapore, we are confident that they will be able to grow the sub-brand to greater heights when the BMW i3 starts retailing locally in Singapore next year.”

“Performance Motors has been representing BMW for over three decades and we have grown in tandem with the remarkable development of the brand in Singapore. The appointment as official BMW i dealer has a deeper and richer significance for us. It signifies the trust BMW places in Performance Motors to grow and develop one of the most exciting chapters in BMW’s fabled history – the launch of the BMW i brand. We are very excited to embark on this new adventure in our partnership with BMW,” said Mr Say Kwee Neng, Managing Director of Performance Motors Limited.

Unlike conventional electric cars that are usually modified from existing on-road models to simply include an electric car battery, BMW i vehicles are purpose-built electric cars drawn from scratch. Designed with a unique LifeDrive architecture, the main body (Life Module) of the BMW i cars is made of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic that is not only extremely light but tougher than steel. This is the same material that is widely used on Formula One racing cars and fighter jets.

The aluminium chassis (Drive Module), meanwhile, has been devised specially to house the bulky battery to ensure better driving dynamics and overall balance. By doing so, BMW i cars are able to bear the sustainable characteristics of an electric car whilst not having to compromise on the sheer driving pleasure that a BMW is renowned for.

Apart from just retailing electric vehicles, BMW i will encompass a range of premium services for mobility poised at optimising the use of parking spaces, recharging infrastructure, ‘smart’ navigation systems, intermodal route planning and access to other BMW vehicles on an ‘on-demand’ basis.

In line with the impending arrival of BMW i cars in Singapore in 2014, BMW Asia and PML will be previewing the BMW i Concept Cars from 24-25 August 2013 to the public in Singapore with no admission charges. More information is available as below.

Event Listing

BMW i: The Future of Mobility

Singapore Showcase 2013

Prior to the official launch of the BMW i cars in Singapore in 2014, members of the public can catch a sneak preview of the BMW i3 and BMW i8 Concept cars from 24-25 August 2013 with free admission. To be held at the open area in front of ION Orchard, the BMW i Space will feature the two futuristic BMW i cars, as well as exhibits explaining the technological wizardry that powers them. 

About BMW i

The BMW i is a new sub-brand of BMW that focuses on the production of purpose-built electric cars targeted for megacity usage. It was derived from Project i, a BMW Group think tank that was set up to explore and develop sustainable, pioneering mobility solutions since 2007. To deepen the knowledge of how electric cars are used on an everyday basis, BMW Group even conducted field tests with a fleet of more than 600 MINI E cars and over 1,000 BMW ActiveE vehicles.

Through the study, BMW is able to better understand the daily operational challenges faced by an electric car driver and his mobility pattern. BMW i eventually previewed in the shape of the futuristic-looking BMW i3 Concept and BMW i8 Concept.

BMW i3 – Dynamic, Compact, Emission-Free

The BMW i3 is an uncompromisingly sustainable vehicle designed for urban areas. Driven purely by electric power and purpose-built to meet demands of sustainable and emission-free mobility, it embodies an intelligent form of urban transportation and commuting.

BMW i3 is set to be a well-resolved all-round megacity vehicle, with every detail conceived and optimisesd to fulfill its eventual purpose. Central to its design is the innovative LifeDrive architecture, the key to the BMW i3’s appeal a light, safe and spacious car. Innovative use of materials and intelligent lightweight design not only enable the BMW i3 to travel long distances on a single charge and provide superb safety in the event of a collision, they also help give the car its excellent driving dynamics. The secure arrangement of the battery in the Drive module gives the vehicle a very low centre of gravity and optimum weight distribution.

OLEG DERIPASKA Orang Kaya Rusia, Tolak Bonus Rp 28 M dan Membaginya ke Karyawan

Jakarta - Kisah ini bisa dibilang cukup langka, seorang bos menolak bonus dan membagikannya kepada karyawan. Hal ini dilakukan oleh miliuner Rusia Oleg Deripaska yang merupakan Chief Executive Officer (CEO) dari perusahaan alumunium Rusal asal Rusia.

Dikutip dari BBC, Selasa (9/7/2013), Oleg menolak bonus US$ 3 juta atau sekitar Rp 28,5 miliar atas laba perusahaan di 2012. Bonus tersebut digunakan Oleg untuk membeli saham perusahaan dan dibagi ke 120 pekerjanya.

Di Rusia, pria berusia 45 tahun ini merupakan orang terkaya nomor 16 dengan jumlah kekayaan US$ 8,5 miliar atau Rp 80,7 triliun per Maret 2013 menurut Forbes.

Saham akan diberikan kepada karyawan di pabrik Rusal, baik karyawan lokal maupun internasional dengan nilai 0,05% dari jumlah total saham Rusal yang dikeluarkan.

Rusal adalah salah satu produsen aluminium terbesar di dunia, dengan pekerja sebanyak 72.000 di seluruh dunia. Perusahaan ini berdiri tahun 2000 dan mengoperasikan 20 pabrik di 19 negara.

Namun ternyata Oleg bukanlah bos perusahaan satu-satunya yang menolak bonus dan membagikannya ke karyawan. Bos Lenovo Yan Yuanqing juga pernah memberikan bonusnya dengan nilai yang sama untuk karyawannya tahun lalu. Namun Yan masih menyimpan US$ 2,2 juta sisa bonus untuk dirinya.
