Gaya Hidup Masa Kini : Minim Uang Tunai

Lambat laun, kita mulai meninggalkan transaksi uang tunai. Setelah terbiasa membeli barang elektronik, melunasi tiket pesawat, dan membayar di restauran dengan kartu kredit atau kartu debit, kini untuk transaksi yang nominalnya kecil, kita -terutama warga Jabodetabek- biasa memanfaatkan kartu uang elektronik.

Seorang rekan yang menjadi profesional di perusahaan media digital begitu senang memiliki kartu elektronik tersebut untuk membayar tiket kereta apai commuterline. Tak perlu lagi antre membeli tiket. Cukup menempelkan kartu tiket elektronik ke area /Tempelkan Kartu' di pintu masuk stasiun. Uang yang tersimpan dalam kartu otomatis terdebet ketika kartu digunakan unyuk membuka pintu keluar di stasiun tujuan.

Yang paling memuaskan dia adalah kartu yang dikeluarkan salah sayu bank tersebut juga bisa digunakan untuk membayar parkir mobil di stasiun, membayar tiket bus Transjakarta dan jalan tol. Untuk Top Up alias mengisi ulang uang, cukup datang ke mesin ATM. Top Up juga bisa dilakukan secara manual di minn market.

Bagi rekan tersebut, adanya tiket kartu elektronik membuat perjalanan dari rumah ke kantor menjadi sederhana, karena di stasiun tidak perlu lagi antre tiket, tidak perlu menunggu uang kembalian, dan tidak ada pemeriksaan tiket. Berkat tiket kartu elektronik, pengelolaan transportasi publik juga menjadi lebih akuntabel,  penumpang tidak bertiket, dan 'percekcokan' karena selisih uang kembalian saat membeli tiket menjadi nihil.

Respon operator transportasi publik dan bank penerbit uang elektronik dalam mengadopsi sistem pembayaran non tunai akan membantu program Bank Indonesia dalam menwujudkan Less Cash Society alias warga yang minim menggunakan uang tunai untuk membayar kebutuhan sehari-hari.

Transaksi non tunai sebenarnya bisa diigunakan ke pelosok untuk pembayaran dengan noinal kecil sekalipun, misalnya membayar makanan di warung, selama tersedia infrastruktur telekomunikasi.

Saat ini, Indonesia masih tertinggal dibandingkan dengan negara-negara di Asean dalam hal pembayaran dengan kartu uang elektronik. Di negara kita, pembayaran tunai transaksi ritel masih mencakup 99,4% alias yang dibayar secara non tunai baru 0,6%. kondisi yang paling dekat dengan kita adalah Thailand dimana transaksi ritel tunainya masih 97,2%. tapi di Singapura pembayaran tunai 'tinggal' 55,5% dari total transaksi ritel.

Bila komposisi pembayaran non tunai di dalam negeri meningkat, tentu bukan hanya kesetaraan layanan perbankan dengan negara sekawasan yang dicapai, tapi juga akan menwujudkan akuntabilitas dan efisiensi dalam transaksi. Ke depan, mungkin kita akan terbiasa dengan idiom ini: Apapun transaksinya, gesek saja dengan kartu elektronik.

Relative clauses

A relative clause gives extra information about nouns - how exactly does it do this? Unlike an adjective, which in English comes before the noun, relative clauses always follow the noun that they are defining or describing. In the following examples, the whole relative clause is in bold:

·           I enjoyed the concert that we went to last night.

·           The book which I'm reading comes from the library.

·           The people who you met at the party are all old friends of mine.

·           He hadn't met the man who I was talking about.

The first thing to notice from these examples is that the relative clause can come both at the end and in the middle of the sentence. The second point of interest is the type of word that can introduce a relative clause, in these instances, which, who and that - in this context these words are known as relative pronouns.

We can opt to use that where we might sometimes use which or who, as you can see from these sentences modified from the ones above:

·           The book that I'm reading comes from the library.

·           The people that you met at the party are all old friends of mine.

·           He hadn't met the man that I was talking about.

You may also have noticed that there is another relative clause construction that can be applied to all the above examples - the relative pronoun can be left out with no obvious change in meaning.

·           I enjoyed the concert we went to last night.

·           The book I'm reading comes from the library.

·           The people you met at the party are all old friends of mine.

·           He hadn't met the man I was talking about.

But what about the following sentences?

·           I can't find my notebook that contains all my addresses.

·           She has never met the lecturer who is leading today's seminar.

·           The tall man who was standing by the bar is my uncle.

·           The newspaper which first reported the incident is being sued.

Again, the relative clause can occupy the same positions as before, but try to take out the relative pronoun this time and compare the results. You should find that they do not produce acceptable English sentences. Can you see why?

Subject and object relative clauses

The answer is that in the first set of four sentences the relative pronoun is the object of the relative clause, like this:

·           I enjoyed the concert. We went to the concert last night.

·           The book comes from the library. I'm reading the book.

·           The people are all old friends of mine. You met the people at the party.

·           He hadn't met the man. I was talking about the man.

In each case the sentence which becomes the relative clause is shown second and adds extra information to the subject or the object of the first (main clause) sentence.

With this type of clause we can choose either to use the relative pronouns or to omit them. In fast colloquial speech, omission is the norm, whereas in written English we tend to leave them in.

In the second set of four sentences, however, the subject or the object of the main clause is the subject of the relative clause:

·           I can't find my notebook. My notebook contains all my addresses.

·           She has never met the lecturer. The lecturer is leading today's seminar.

·           The tall man is my uncle. The tall man was standing by the bar.

·           The newspaper is being sued. The newspaper first reported the incident.

In these cases we cannot leave out the relative pronoun and expect a fully coherent sentence to remain. However, as with object relative clauses we can use that instead of which or who.

·           She has never met the lecturer that is leading today's seminar.

·           The tall man that was standing by the bar is my uncle.

·           The newspaper that first reported the incident is being sued.

So, when you first see a relative clause it is a good idea to decide whether you are looking at subject relative clause or an object relative clause.
