Terkait Foto Mirip Mualem bersama Wanita Berbaju Putih, Ini Tanggapan Jubir PA

Foto yang menyerupai Ketua Dewan Pimpinan Aceh Partai Aceh (DPA PA), H. Muzakir Manaf.

Pengguna media sosial di Aceh kembali dihebohkan dengan beredarnya foto pria mirip Ketua Dewan Pimpinan Aceh Partai Aceh (DPA PA), H. Muzakir Manaf atau akrab disapa Mualem bersama seorang wanita cantik tanpa jilbab, Kamis 1 Desember 2016.

Foto ini disebarkan oleh pendukung salah seorang kandidat Gubernur Aceh di pilkada 2017 serta menyebar luas di akun media sosial, seperti Facebook, Twitter serta Instagram.

Namun setelah dicek, ternyata foto tersebut merupakan rekayasa fotoshop. Dimana, wajah Mualem dilekatkan pada seorang pria yang sedang berjalan dengan seorang wanita tanpa jilbab dengan tujuan untuk merusak karakter Mualem yang maju sebagai Calon Gubernur Aceh periode 2017-2022.

“Itu rekayasa fotoshop. Kita sudah suruh cek pada IT dan ternyata itu rekayasa fotoshop untuk memfitnah Mualem,” ujar Juru Bicara DPA Partai Aceh, Suadi Sulaiman atau akrab disapa Adi Laweung dalam siaran pers yang diterima Klikkabar.com, Kamis 1 Desember 2017.

“Pelaku ingin menghancurkan karakter Mualem yang dikenal dekat dengan ulama dan ingin menegakkan Aswaja. Kami minta pelaku segera bertobat,” kata Adi Laweung.

Adi Laweung juga meminta pendukung dan simpatisan Partai Aceh untuk tidak terkecoh dengan penyeberan tersebut.

“Jangan juga melakukan aksi serupa. Kita yakin bahwa segala fitnah yang ditunjukan ini karena lawan khawatir kalau Mualem menang di pilkada 2017 nanti,” ujarnya.

“Saat ini media sosial digunakan untuk merusak citra Mualem oleh oknum-oknum yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Sekali lagi kita minta pelaku untuk tobat serta tidak menggunakan cara-cara yang buruk untuk menjatuhkan citra kandidat lainnya. Jangan ngomong saja pilkada halal tetapi juga harus disertai dengan komitmen dan perbuatan,” kata Adi Laweung.

2017 Hyundai i10 1.2 Premium SE review

This is Hyundai’s latest attempt to keep its best-selling i10 relevant in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Released back in 2012, the small city car from Seoul has always been a firm favourite of ours thanks to its class-leading build quality, versatile interior space and high residual values. But let’s face it, the little i10 has never been particularly exciting, aesthetically or dynamically.
Hyundai is looking to change that, however, with a host of changes that should, on paper at least, bring the i10 closer to the class-leading Volkswagen Up. Styling wise, a new grille, LED daytime running lights, reprofiled bumpers and new 14in wheels help sharpen up the cutesy looks, while the interior gets a refresh with a range of new trims.

The most significant change is the addition of an all-new infotainment system. Available only on range-topping Premium SE trim, the new 7.0in touchscreen features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality as well as satellite navigation and live updates. Compared with the Up, which requires buyers to use their smartphone as a sat-nav, this could be a real deal breaker for buyers.



What's it like?
Aside from a slightly quicker steering rack and a larger front bump stop, the 2017 i10 is more or less mechanically identical to the model it replaces, which is no bad thing. We’ve always been impressed by the Hyundai’s remarkable ability to work just as well in the city as it does in the country, and the same remains true here.

Despite having a slighter firmer ride than both the VW Up and Renault Twingo, the i10 is surprisingly less fidgety over scarred city roads. Even on the larger 15in wheels fitted to our test car, sharp imperfections are soaked up with relative aplomb. That said, the 1.2's light clutch pedal and overly sensitive throttle can make low-speed manoeuvres feel somewhat clumsy and haphazard, so inner-city driving isn’t as effortless as it could be.



Venture out of the city and onto faster-moving roads and the i10 continues to impress – to a point. Thanks to impressive body control, the i10 is genuinely good fun to hustle down a B-road. Push on further, though, and, despite the revisions made to the steering, the lack of feedback through the wheel is a real limitation. Through quicker corners you often find yourself second-guessing your initial inputs, which robs you of confidence. 

Under the bonnet, the i10’s 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine remains untouched. It’s a gutsy unit, and our engine of choice, but there’s no denying that it’s starting to feel a bit long in the tooth, especially when compared with the more powerful turbocharged units from VW and Renault. With peak power coming in at a heady 6000rpm, the engine needs working hard to access its best performance. Around town this is less of a problem, but as soon as you join faster-flowing traffic the engine's initial lack of urgency can become frustrating.

Inside, the i10’s cabin remains functional and robust but doesn't offer the same charm or sharp design that you'll find in premium rivals. That said, the interior has been lifted by the addition of the new infotainment system. Controlled via a 7.0in touchscreen, the new system is a vast improvement over the previous monochrome unit. Connecting your phone via Bluetooth is a breeze, the screen itself is clear and responsive and the TomTom-based sat-nav gives real-time updates.



Should I buy one?
The i10’s sophisticated ride, impressive residuals, class-leading space and commendable performance are a compelling mix. Add a new infotainment system into the mix and it is arguably the most rounded city car in its class.

However, the Hyundai still lacks the outright performance and dynamic sparkle of the class leading VW Up. The Up is also £345 less to buy, is more frugal in the real world and is fractionally cheaper to tax. Ultimately, subjective considerations may decide which is preferable, but from a dynamic perspective, keener drivers will still get more from an Up, while those more concerned with practicality would be better to consider the i10. It's as simple as that.

2017 Nissan X-Trail 2.0d Tekna 4WD review

In a market where a growing crowd is making it getting increasingly difficult to stand out, the Nissan X-Trail makes a good case for itself. It's a comfortable and practical large SUV, and a common sight on UK roads.

It has a problem, though. Nissan has until now only given buyers one diesel engine choice in the X-Trail, a 128bhp 1.6-litre unit, and while its competitive in terms of fuel economy and CO2 emissions, it isn't particularly quick. It's a compromised package, and drivers seeking a stronger X-Trail have long been praying for Nissan to give the car a larger, more powerful diesel motor.

Well, those prayers have been answered, because now there's a larger 175bhp 2.0-litre diesel on offer. Nissan expects this engine to account for a quarter of X-Trail sales in the UK from now on, so it’s an important addition for the brand.

What's it like?


Fuel economy and CO2 emissions have been a big draw for X-Trail buyers so far, because while the existing 1.6 diesel isn't as powerful as the big units found in most rivals, it is cleaner and more efficient. With this more powerful version, official fuel economy has dropped to 50.5mpg, while CO2 emissions stand at 149g/km - although we averaged a more realistically achievable 38.1mpg on our fairly calm test drive.

There's certainly more low-end pulling power, but it runs out of puff higher up the rev range and similar diesels in rivals such as the Mazda CX-5 or Hyundai Santa Fe are more flexible still. Still, although the extra power will no doubt please some buyers, many of the X-Trail's niggles persist - the engine is still very vocal and sends lots of noise and vibration inside under load.

There is a slightly better throttle response with this engine, though, and it combines well with the standard six-speed manual transmission. A CVT automatic gearbox is also available, marking the first time you can get a four-wheel drive X-Trail with an automatic, something Nissan says buyers have also been asking for, but it's not easy to recommend. It is quieter than many other CVTs, and if you’re planning on spending most of your time in the city then it could make sense, but on the motorway the elastic-band nature of the power delivery grates.

Our X-Trail's four-wheel drive system provides good traction over loose surfaces, but in reality you're unlikely to need the system very often in the UK unless you plan on climbing mountains or fording streams on the weekends. If you do choose the four-wheel-drive model, then the added low-end torque of this 2.0-litre engine seems like a good fit. Frankly, though, we'd be tempted to save money and stick with a front-wheel drive model.

Elsewhere, as you might expect, this new X-Trail variant is very much the same as the existing car. The ride is comfortable over most surfaces, and while the handling isn’t set up to provide engagement, it's reassuringly surefooted. The interior, too, while not revolutionary, has all the ergonomic benefits of the big-selling Qashqai.

Should I buy one?


There’s the hit in fuel economy and CO2 to consider here, because even with a manual gearbox the new 2.0-litre engine falls some way short of the existing 1.6-litre diesel’s 57.6mpg and 129g/km figures. Under the current road tax system, you’ll pay £35 more per year for the 2.0-litre X-Trail, as well as spending more time and money at the fuel pumps.

It's also worth noting this X-Trail's pricing, which at £33,760 is more expensive than similar versions of the CX-5 and Santa Fe. Nissan only offers the 2.0-litre engine on Acenta trim and above, so entry-level Visia models miss out. The price leap is fairly substantial: a 2.0-litre-engined Acenta X-Trail costs £1250 more than if you stick with the 1.6-litre unit.

That said, if you’re one of the existing X-Trail owners who’ve been looking for a more powerful version of the car, then you’ll be largely happy with this result. Likewise, if you’re used to the similarly sized engines in other large SUVs, then buying an X-Trail will no longer feel like such a backward step.

It’s good news if you plan on towing, too, because the towing capacity of this X-Trail has been raised by 150kg to 1650kg if you opt for the CVT transmission. Otherwise, manual versions remain at 2000kg - and it’s worth remembering that the Santa Fe will tow 2500kg.

Ultimately, we’d stick with the current 1.6-litre engine, because while it’s a little slower than rivals, it’s not really noticeable under everyday conditions, and the extra fuel efficiency is a welcome bonus.

2016 Volkswagen Amarok 3.0-litre V6 review

What is it?
It has been a busy 18 months for the commercial arm of Volkswagen, with its Caddy and Transporter both getting a mid-life refresh and a new Crafter due next year. The fourth vehicle to get a light going over is its Amarok pick-up.

The Volkswagen Amarok has been on our roads since 2011, having originally been designed for the South American market and built in Argentina. However, the German manufacturer saw some mileage in having a pick-up in its European line-up and duly brought it over. Since then, 14,800 Amaroks have been sold in the UK, with Volkswagen hoping this facelifted model will bolster its position in a congested segment.

Not only does the latest Amarok have to keep at bay the new and improved Nissan Navara, Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux, but also newer rivals – including the Fiat Fullback and the forthcoming Mercedes-Benz X-Class.

The new Amarok looks largely the same as the original, with its underpinnings remaining unaltered. Exterior changes have been limited to a redesigned front bumper, front grille and alloy wheels, while inside there is a new dashboard and an improved infotainment system complete with Bluetooth and DAB radio as standard.

The highlight, however, is the new 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine, which replaces the outgoing 2.0-litre oil-burner. Two outputs are currently available at launch – 201bhp and 220bhp, both driven through an eight-speed automatic gearbox – while a 160bhp version will join the range in 2017, as will a six-speed manual for the lower-powered models.

Despite the larger capacity, there is no penalty to pay on the fuel economy and CO2 fronts, as Volkswagen has gone to great lengths to ensure it matches the outgoing 2.0-litre unit’s output.

As for trims, they remain very much the same, with three core levels – Startline, Trendline and Highline - while various special-edition models will be released throughout its lifecycle. Here we are testing the limited-edition Aventura Amarok with the most powerful diesel engine.

What's it like?
VW's 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine is a peach and makes those memories of a clattery diesel dominating the cabin a thing of the past. Don’t be mistaken into thinking it is as refined as it would be in a passenger car, as a distinctive undertone is always audible but never onerous.

As for its performance, its low-down grunt and peak power make this one swift pick-up, with the muscular V6 delivering its power in a linear, smooth fashion. An overboost function allows a further 19bhp to be made available, making swift manoeuvres such as overtaking effortless.

The eight-speed automatic does a good job of flicking between ratios in order to keep engine noise to a minimum, while remaining responsive when you dab the throttle. It's not perfect, jerking through the first couple of ratios on large throttle openings from a standstill, but ultimately it does get the best out of this V6.

The steering is light and direct, which makes negotiating tight corners and streets simple enough, while mild bodyroll is kept well in check. The ride is reasonably good considering the rear is mounted on leaf springs, but not comparable to the multi-link suspension used on the Navara NP300.

Over uneven asphalt, unladen, the Amarok's rear axle struggles to settle, but never to the extent that it becomes alarming. Viewed next to its rivals, it does well to soak up most of the smaller ruts that plague UK roads, but larger potholes can cause sudden, sharp vibrations to shudder through the cabin.

As for its workhorse capability, the Amarok is still able to fit a Euro pallet between its rear wheel arches and carry a payload of up to 1114kg, which is similar to the Hilux but more than the Navara. That said, it lags behind the Ranger's mammoth 1240kg carrying ability. The VW's braked towing weight comes in at 3100kg, which, although substantial, leaves it behind the 3200kg of the Hilux and the 3500kg of the Navara, Isuzu D-Max and Ranger.

The interior will certainly be familiar to anyone having driven a Mk7 Golf. That means it's very well built and logically laid out but short on design flair.

There is plenty of space up front, but the rear is a different matter. There is a shortage of leg and shoulder room for three adults to sit abreast, although head room is far more generous. The middle rear seat is compromised by the addition of cupholders bolted to the floor, limiting leg room. It is less spacious compared to space afforded to rear occupants in the Ranger and the Navara.

Should I buy one?
If you are in the market for a pick-up that is as comfortable with manual labour as it is being a family car, then you are relatively spoilt for choice with the Nissan Navara NP300 Tekna, Ford Ranger Wildtrak and Toyota Hilux Invincible all coming with plenty of luxuries.

For our money the Amarok is the one to go for, partly for the car-like interior, but mainly because this new 3.0-litre V6 is such a charming engine, with its muscular yet quiet nature making it a very different proposition from downsized rivals in the pick-up market.

Yes, it has its flaws - its ride isn't quite as resolved as the Navara’s and it isn't able to tow quite as much as the Ranger, Hilux or Isuzu D-Max. Its combination of good on-road manners and stout workhorse capability, though, can't be ignored by those looking to work hard and play harder.

Awas Ular Mengintai Korban Banjir Singkil

SIINGKIL - Ular besar berkeliaran di pemukiman penduduk korban banjir di Kecamatan Singkil Utara, Aceh Singkil.
Saat masa awal banjir lima hari lalu, korban banjir di Ketapang Indah, menangkap ular dengan panjang kira-kira empat meter di pekarangan rumah.
Berikutnya giliran warga Gosong Telaga Barat, yang bersebelahan dengan Ketapang Indah, menangkap ular.
Ular yang ditangkap Suraji (70) bersama istri dan anak-anaknya itu, jauh lebih besar dan panjang. Ditaksir memiliki berat mendekati 100 kilo dengan panjang kira-kira tujuh meter. Sehingga perlu empat lima orang menangkapnya.
Begitupun ketika sudah dijinakkan minimal butuh empat orang mengangkatnya.
Menurut Suraji, ada dua ekor ular besar menyatroni rumahnya yang tergenang banjir. Namun, hanya seekor yang berhasil ditangkap, sedangkan satunya lagi keburu masuk semak belukar.
"Ada dua ekor ular satunya kabur waktu aku tangkap berusaha mematuk badan ku. Satunya lagi bisa ditangkap bersama anak-anak mungkin karena kebanyakan makan ayam di kandang kami," kata pria tua yang masih terlihat gesit itu, Jumat (2/12/2016).
Binatang melata yang moncongnya telah dipelaster itu, ditaruh dalam kandang ayam dan menjadi tontonan korban banjir.
Jika ada yang ingin memotret untuk kepentingan umum, Kakek Suraji pun suka rela mengeluarkan ular dari kandang ayam tersebut.
