This book does not seek to provide a detailed record of Hardi Selamat Hood\u2019s nearly four-year tenure as a senator at the heart of Indonesia\u2019s legislative body in Senayan. However, as the Chairman of Committee III\u2014overseeing nine crucial areas of public welfare\u2014Hardi navigated a demanding and impactful daily routine. This book presents his journey in a chronological narrative, offering insights into the challenges and responsibilities he faced.<\/p>\n
Beyond documenting his experiences, this book also serves a broader purpose: to shape public perception and reinforce the significance of the Regional Representative Council (DPD RI). The author, both collectively and personally, takes on the role of a propagator, advocating that the DPD RI is not just an institution but a legitimate force\u2014comparable, if not superior, to its elder counterpart, the House of Representatives (DPR RI). To this day, the Upper House remains somewhat alienated within the grand legislative complex in Senayan, where a half-hearted bicameral system is seemingly in place. Often referred to as “walking politicians,” DPD RI members are positioned as mere “tenants” within the political establishment\u2014despite holding greater legitimacy and, most importantly, being free from obligations to any political party.<\/p>\n
Hardi\u2019s efforts, as captured in these pages, provide a compelling perspective on national and regional challenges\u2014issues that concern not just him, but all of us. His work deserves recognition for its depth of understanding and commitment to public service. The book opens with a lighthearted and almost comical take on myths, such as the superstition surrounding the number 13, intriguing numerical coincidences, and the courtroom battles likened to a dark-horse race.<\/p>\n
As the narrative progresses, the tone becomes more serious, delving into performance metrics, achievements, and obstacles encountered along the way. The book masterfully weaves together key milestones from his four-year tenure in Senayan, painting a clear and compelling picture of his contributions. Ultimately, this book aims to shift public perception of a senator\u2019s role and significance\u2014because, as the author affirms, this work is a testament to a commitment made with heart and unwavering dedication<\/strong>. ~<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Chronicle of Dedication: The Journey of Hardi Selamat Hood as a Senator This book does not seek to provide a detailed record of Hardi Selamat Hood\u2019s nearly four-year tenure as a senator at the heart of Indonesia\u2019s legislative body…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":88,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[19,13,12,17,15,16,18],"class_list":["post-87","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","tag-digital-creator","tag-focus-publishing-intermedia","tag-muhammad-natsir-tahar","tag-pembuatan-website","tag-penerbit-buku","tag-penerbit-buku-batam-dan-kepri","tag-penerbit-nasional"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/focuspublisher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Catatan-dari-Senayan.jpg?fit=640%2C506&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":113,"url":"https:\/\/focuspublisher.com\/?p=113","url_meta":{"origin":87,"position":0},"title":"Kneeling for the Nation","author":"Octo","date":"March 30, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"Kneeling for the Nation Author: Dr. H.
