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.”

said that cigarette producers contributed to a large amount to state revenue and

Indonesia has embarked on the task of counting its islands in order to better
protect its territory and marine resources. It hopes to locate and name an
additional 1,700 islands in time for the UN Conference on the Standardization of
Geographical Names in August. Indonesia wants to claim sovereignty and fishing
rights in the waters surrounding the islands, many of which its neighbors also
claim.

The Indonesian government says illegal fishing in its waters is costing billions of
dollars in lost revenue each year. A fisheries spokeswoman told the BBC: "Sixty
per cent of islands in Indonesia don't have a name or officially have legal status,
so they can easily be taken or claimed by another country."

Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago. At the last UN conference on

geographical names in 2012, Indonesia registered 13,466 islands. A law in 1996
estimated that the number of islands was 17,508. The UN Convention on the Law
of the Sea defines an island as, "a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by
water, which is still exposed at high tide".

A spokesman from Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries explained

the scale of the task the counting team had. He said: "We have to visit every one
of these islands, and then we note the coordinates, the name, the meaning of the
name, the history of the land and describe the landscape and its geographical
history…all that in great detail."

A. Water rights

Balinese dances included on the list were the Barong Ket, Joged Bumbung,
