“THE DEFINITION OF DIRECT AND INDERECT SPEECH”
v Direct speech is when we report what someone says by repeating the
exact words. In writing, we use inverted commas:
David: I
have to talk to you about something. (original statement)
"I
have to talk to you about something," said David. (direct speech)
Michelle:
I'll call them tomorrow. (original statement)
Michelle
said, "I'll call them tomorrow." (direct speech)
v Indirect speech (also called reported speech) is when we give the same
meaning of what someone says without repeating the exact words. In this case,
we do not use inverted commas and certain changes may be necessary:
EXAMPLE:
David: I
have to talk to you about something. (original statement)
David said
he had to talk to me about something. (indirect speech)
Michelle:
I'll call them tomorrow. (original statement)
Michelle
promised she would call them the next day. (indirect speech)
We also use
indirect speech when we report inner thoughts:
I had no
idea where my keys were. (Where are my keys?)
She knew
that the lock had been changed. (The lock has been changed.)

THE ARTICLE
Election body gears up for concurrent regional polls
The General Elections Commission (KPU) is
preparing for regional head elections, slated to be held simultaneously in
seven provinces and 181 regencies and cities in 2015.
KPU commissioner Ferry Kurnia Rizkiyansyah said the first step required of the
commission was to set the date for concurrent elections as stipulated by the
government regulation in lieu of law (Perppu) issued by former president Susilo
Bambang Yudhoyono.
“We have to decide the date and month so it becomes the guide,” he said on the
sidelines of a meeting attended by KPU commissioners in Batam on Thursday.
Weeks before stepping down from office, Yudhoyono issued two Perppu regulations
to reinstate direct elections for regional heads.
The previous system, which had run for a decade, was revoked in a controversial
deliberation of the Regional Elections (Pilkada) Law at the House of Representatives
in September, in the wake of political rivalry between President Joko “Jokowi”
Widodo’s Great Indonesia Coalition and former presidential candidate Prabowo
Subianto’s Red-and-White Coalition.
Presently, the Perppu is only partially effective, pending approval of the
House.
KPU chairman Husni Kamil Manik said he expected a decision on the election date
to be made by the end of the year at the latest.
“The process [to decide the date] is still ongoing since there are many things
that we have to take into consideration,” he said.
One consideration is the fact that the KPU has to re-design regional elections
to accommodate the Perppu.
“For example, the mechanism of public review is a new one [introduced in the
Perppu],” he said.
The Perppu stipulates that a public review, aimed to reveal inadequate
candidates, has to be held in each region three months before the registration
of candidates.
The registration should be six months before the election day.
To decide on the date, the KPU will coordinate with the Home Ministry since the
end of tenures of regional heads are different, according to Ferry.
Husni said the Home Ministry would appoint officials in charge of regions where
regional heads were ending their tenures before the chosen election date.
Another difference between the upcoming concurrent elections and past regional
elections is campaign budgeting.
While in the past, campaign budgeting had to be bore by the candidates, the
Perppu mandates the state budget to fund campaigns through Regional/Provincial
General Elections Commissions (KPUDs).
Ferry said this could lead to an increase in cost, despite the fact that a
primary reason for holding simultaneous regional elections was to trim the
budget.
“There will be an increase as well as a decrease [in cost]. In terms of the
increase, it will be caused by campaigning,” he said.
After the 2015 regional elections, the government will hold the next batch in
the remaining regions in 2018.
“For regional heads whose tenures end in 2015, their regions will have
elections in 2015. For those finishing their tenures in 2016 and 2017, their
regions will vote for new heads in 2018,” Ferry said.
After that, all provinces, regencies and cities in the country will have
simultaneous regional elections in 2020.
Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court rejected on Thursday five review petitions
into the Pilkada Law, and said the law had been suspended with the issuance of
Yudhoyono’s Perppu.
A total of 10 petitions had been filed to challenge the controversial law.
After the Perppu issuance, only five petitions had chosen to press ahead based
on the argument that Yudhoyono’s Perppu was still waiting for House approval to
be fully effective.
Attorney OC Kaligis, who represents the NasDem Party, one of the five
plaintiffs, said he had expected the court decision. (ask)
