FAQ

Pertanyaan : Saya sudah tidak menonton TV, buat apa saya peduli tentang hal ini?
Jawaban : Mungkin anda sudah tidak menonton TV lagi. Namun keluarga, sanak saudara bahkan pembantu anda mungkin masih menonton TV. Bantulah mereka untuk migrasi ke TV Digital.
​
Pertanyaan : Apa yang dicapai dari migrasi ke TV Digital ini?
Jawaban : Penghematan frekuensi. 1 blok frekuensi (nomor UHF) TV Digital dapat menampung 12 channel berkualitas SD atau 8 channel berkualitas HD sementara 1 blok frekuensi TV Analog hanya bisa menampung 1 channel. Dari penghematan frekuensi ini nantinya akan dimanfaatkan untuk menggelar jaringan 5G.
​
Pertanyaan : Apa perbedaan siaran Analog dan siaran Digital?
Jawaban : Siaran Analog adalah siaran yang umumnya memiliki TV static atau biasa dikenal dengan "bersemut". Siaran Digital tidak mengenal hal itu. Siaran Digital umumnya sangat jernih baik secara kualitas gambar maupun suara.
​
Pertanyaan : Apa kelebihan dari siaran TV Digital?
Jawaban : Siaran TV Digital memiliki kualitas gambar yang bersih, kualitas suara yang jernih, jumlah channel relatif lebih banyak, terdapat fitur Emergency Warning System (EWS) dan terdapat fitur Personal Video Recorder (PVR) yang dapat digunakan untuk merekam siaran.
​
Pertanyaan : Apakah siaran Digital bakalan diacak seperti yang terjadi pada TV berbayar atau platform OTT?
Jawaban : Sama sekali tidak! Siaran Digital yang ini adalah pengganti siaran Analog yang sejak lama gratis dan tidak pernah diacak. Jika anda masih menemukan siaran Digital yang diacak, biasanya karena masalah teknis pemancar yang belum membuka acakan dari siaran tersebut (masih terjadi di beberapa kota).
​
Pertanyaan : Saya merasa penangkapan siaran TV Digital tidak maksimal seperti putus2 atau channel kurang lengkap. Apa yang dapat saya lakukan?
Jawaban : Anda bisa memperbaiki antena yang dipasang sebelum membeli antena baru. Bisa dengan cara memindahkan ke tempat yang lebih terbuka, mengarahkan antena ke pemancar televisi dan memperbaiki kabel yang terpasang. Setelah itu, lakukan auto/manual scan. Tidak direkomendasikan menggunakan antena indoor yang model tipis.
​
Pertanyaan : Bagaimanakah cara melihat jumlah siaran TV Digital di daerah saya?
Jawaban : Selain mencoba langsung, anda bisa melihat jumlah siaran TV Digital yang ada di area anda melalui aplikasi SinyalTVDigital. Selain itu, anda bisa juga tanyakan pada thread ini dengan menyertakan kabupaten/kota/wilayah layanan.

Dalam unggahan media sosial Instagram u/hillarylasut, Hillary menampilkan potongan video konten Mamat yang dianggap mencemarkan nama baik.
"Konten ini hanya untuk simpan barbut," tulis Hillary dalam keterangan videonya yang diunggah pada Senin (3/10/2022). "Enggak usah bawa-bawa saya saya pejabat publik harus siap dikritik deh. T*i dan g*blo* bukan kritik. Itu bully dan verbal harrasment," tulis Hillary. Menurut Hillary, baik itu anggota DPR, presiden, atau pembantu rumah tangga sekalipun punya hak untuk dilindungi harkat dan martabatnya dari segala jenis kekerasan verbal dan psikis.
Adapun Video yang berdurasi tak lebih dari 30 detik itu tampak Mamat mengenakan kaos hitam dan topi hitam. Terdengar beberapa kata yang dinilai bernada kasar yang sempat dikatakan dan disambut gelak tawa oleh penonton.
"Kesal banget saya.." ucap Mamat. "Jangan takut, ayo masuk ke dalam politik! Hei, t*i. Coba yang ngomong begitu orang yang bapaknya bukan anggota DPR atau yang bukan punya partai. Coba aja," tutur Mamat melanjutkan. "'Saya orang tua bukan siapa-siapa, engga punya apa-apa.' Lalu, masuk politik. Emang enggak diminta duit sama partai? G*blo*!"
Atas kejadian itu, Brigitta pun merasa tersinggung dan melaporkan Mamat melalui kuasa hukumnya ke Polda Metro Jaya menggunakan Pasal 310 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP).

Sane cemerlang bantu Bayern benam Benfica
​
BERLIN: Leroy Sane meledak dua gol pada babak kedua yang mencetuskan inspirasi kemenangan 4-0 Bayern Munich ke atas Benfica awal pagi tadi ketika gergasi Jerman itu mengekalkan rekod sempurna mereka dalam Liga Juara-Juara musim ini.
​
Bayern kini menang tiga perlawanan tanpa melepaskan gol dan hanya selangkah untuk ke pusingan seterusnya dengan kelebihan lima mata di persada Kumpulan E.
​
Juara enam kali Piala Eropah itu dua kali dinafikan gol selepas melihat rakaman Video Bantuan Pengadil (VAR) pada sejam pertama sebelum Sane akhirnya memecah benteng Benfica 20 minit sebelum tamat.
​
​
Pemain antarabangsa Jerman itu menambah satu lagi gol dan satu bantuan pada penghujung saingan ketika tuan rumah tumbang dan Bayern mencatat satu lagi kemenangan selesa dalam Liga Juara-Juara musim ini.
​
Bayern beraksi tanpa beberapa pemain utama termasuk Leon Goretzka, Alphonso Davies dan ketua jurulatih, Julian Nagelsmann yang tidak hadir kerana jangkitan selesema.
​
Bagaimanapun mereka bermula baik dengan arahan diberikan pembantu jurulatih, Dino Toppmoeller. - AFP

Sedikit background.
Keluarga saya di rumah hanya ibu dan adik, buka usaha kecil-kecilan, buat kue, tumpeng, jajan pasar,dsb. Kalau ada pesanan besar, kita nyewa tukang masak cabutan, sekitar 4 atau 5 orang. Kena Guna-guna 3 kali.
​
-----------------------------------------------
PERTAMA - Tahun 2012. Ibu saya rekrut tukang masak, ibu-ibu umur 50an untuk menginap di rumah, bukan ART/Pembantu, karena gak ngurusi bersih-bersih dan cuci-cuci, hanya untuk MASAK. Sebut saja namanya LATIFA.
Latifa ini dikenalkan dari tukang masak Ibu saya yang lain, bapak-bapak umur 50an juga, sebut saja Pak WAHMI, 2 orang ini asalnya sama, sekampung.
3 Bulan setelah direkrut, pas rame-ramenya pesanan, suami Latifa datang berkunjung dengan luka-luka bonyok, babras di lengan dan lehernya. Curiga dong orang-orang serumah.
Latifa minta ijin ke Ibu saya untuk menginapkan suaminya di rumah.Pak Wahmi melarang Ibu saya, karena sepengetahuan Pak Wahmi, suami Latifa selalu kena urusan sama polisi.
Akhirnya orang serumah dan Pak Wahmi maksa tanya si suami Latifa, nawarin ke puskesmas, dan jawabannya seperti diduga. Suaminya Latifa lari dari polisi mbrobos alang-alang setelah dipaksa ngaku digebukin polisi karena kasus narkoba, lari waktu ijin pipis, jelas kalo ke puskesmas takut.
Ibu ketakutan dan ngusir alus si suami Latifa.
Latifa sering pinjam duit terus ke Ibu, 2 juta – 4 juta, alesan untuk biaya anaknya yang imut itu, dan nggak pikir panjang, ibu ngasih aja. Pak Wahmi sampai geleng-geleng protes, kalo Wak Wahmi pinjem 400rb aja, Ibu mikir-mikir, lha kalo Latifa langsung dikasih...
Sewaktu Ibu naik haji ke Arab selama 1 bulan, saudara dari ibu (om 01, om 02 & om 03) dan saya, dan adik, selalu bertengkar, sampai Ibu pulang 1 bulan berikutnya. Gua & adik nggak sedekat itu sama om-om saudara, dan nggak pernah gegeran sampe mbentak-bentak, baru terjadi ya ini. Gara-gara Latifa terima pesenan padahal sudah ijin.
Satu waktu, suami Latifa kedapatan nginep di rumah, waktu rumah kosong. Ibu dengan takut-takut, ngusir alus. Latifa minta ijin nganterin suaminya ke terminal bis. Pak Wahmi wanti-wanti, "hati-hati, ntar dia nyimpan satu poket narkoba di kamarnya Latifa, dowo urusane buk! (panjang urusannya Bu)".
Kita nggeledah kamarnya Latifa, sudut dan kolong, dan apa yang kita temukan:

• Foto Ibu 10R dari manasik sebelum haji, yang dilipat seperti bungkus, di dalamnya ada semacam kemenyan campur, bros kuningan (lupa apa lagi). Jumlah bungkus foto ada 2 atau 3 buah.
• Baju dan handuk Ibu yang nggak terpakai, dibuntal untuk membungkus "sesuatu" yaitu, kemenyan, daun-daunan something, kertas sekitar A4 bertuliskan Arab dilipat sampai kecil, dan aroma minyak nyong-nyong yang mencekik banget.

Otomatis Pak Wahmi langsung bilang: "Bakar aja bu, jangan dibuang"
Ibu langsung SMS Latifa yang OTW ke terminal bis, nyuruh jangan kembali lagi, suruh beli tiket sendiri satu lagi buat dia sendiri. Latifa protes, baju-baju masih di rumah. Ibu bilang nanti bakal diantar sama Pak Wahmi, toh ya satu desa.
Beberapa hari kemudian, Latifa SMS ke saya, ibu dan adik, minta maaf sebesar-besarnya, dan ngaku kalau guna-guna itu bukan Latifa yang buat, tapi suaminya. Diam-diam masuk ke kamar ibu saya ngambil foto & pakaian ibu yang nggak kepake.
Goblok banget, bilang gitu, Ibu tambah takut, kok bisa orang asing masuk-masuk kamar ngambil barang. SMS nggak dijawab.
1 Bulan kemudian, salah satu dari saudara ibu, om gua yang lain (sebut saja om 02), setress. Karena uang pensiunannya dikasih ke LATIFA, untuk bayar utang Latifa di desa. Om gua yang nomer 2 ini, gak pernah ketemu Latifa sebelumnya. Si Latifa mengguna-gunai om gua ditarget dari kumpul-kumpul syukuran sebelum berangkat haji. si om ngaku seperti blank diperalat.
1 minggu setelah om gua nomer 02 kena Latifa. (Berarti 1 bulan 1 minggu setelah Latifa diusir). Gantian Pak Wahmi yang kena. Sewaktu ngembalikan baju-baju Latifa di desanya. Pak Wahmi tanpa sadar, blank, nyerahin sertifikat rumahnya ke Latifa...
wtf...
​
-----------------------------------------------
KEDUA - Tahun 2015. Satu kompleks rumah, tetangga-tetangga heboh, duit mereka lenyap di laci masing-masing. Karena setiap nyimpan duit segebok. Misal 10 juta dibendel per 1 juta x 10. Setiap lembar per bendel hilang 1, jadi total akhir 9 juta.
Kalo satu bendel 1 juta x 3 (3 juta). Hilang 3 lembar. Jadi 2 juta 700 rb.
Diomongin rame-rame dan sudah disimpulkan, ada yang pake tuyul, dan sudah ketahuan orangnya (sebut saja Pak Sundal). Gerak-geriknya mencurigakan, setiap mau beli sesuatu, atau ketemu orang, satu tangannya selalu seperti menggandeng anak kecil yang gak terlihat. Sempat dibencandain sama Ibu saya, dipikir asam urat ato kolesterol. Agen elpiji juga ngelihat aneh, beli air gelas satu kardus, masa dibawa tangan satu. Tangan satunya kalo nggak disembunyiin di punggung, selalu ngawang seperti pose IronMan mau terbang. ibayar, duit dimasukin ke tas bally-nya pak elpiji, dicek lagi, hilang duitnya.
​
-----------------------------------------------
KETIGA - Tahun 2019. Terbaru, yang paling bangsat. Yang mengguna-gunai, salah satu pekerjanya ibu (sebut saja PINDANG).Ibu-ibu gembrot umur 40 an yang punya sejarah mencuri, bertengkar, kasar, provokator di tempat Ibu.
Dimulai dari Ibu saya yang nggak bisa lihat, didiagnosa katarak, dan vertigo. Simptom gua yang marah karena hal kecil dan sepele juga kembali lagi dan familiar banget, sampai banting barang dan minggat (sorry).
Pertanda pertama, waktu pijat ke suatu tempat, kebetulan si tukang pijat memperingati Ibu saya dan menyarankan banyak berdoa, karena ada orang jahat yang berniat sangat jelek sekali (niat membunuh). Dia bilang Ibu saya pasti nyumbang anak yatim secara rutin, kalo enggak, nggak bakalan hidup normal sampai saat ini. Si tukang pijat membaca mantra dan "mencabut" sebagian guna-guna. (FYI, di desa gua memang ada rutin sumbangan menafkahi anak yatim piatu dari Muadzin setempat yang nampung, sukarela, tapi untuk SEMUA penduduk).
Curiga disantet, waktu tukang sayur keliling bercanda ke Ibu saya, "wong sugih garem larang diguwak-guwak". Ada taburan garam banyak di depan rumah. Tetangga yang melihat membantu nyapu taburan garam.
Tahu pasti disantet, gara-gara anak tetangga umur 2 tahun yang selalu mainan di teras rumah Ibu pagi-pagi (gua di kantor), nemu boneka di bawah meja ruang tamu. Ibu dari bocah itu langsung ngenali mainan itu sebagai boneka santet.
Yang dahsyat nih, gua tahu wujud boneka itu dari mimpi, mimpi gua nightmare beneran, setara film horor. Seolah-olah peringatan. Ada 3 boneka, orang rumah baru nemu 1. Wujud boneka seperti penolak hujan di jepang tinggi sekitar 10 cm. dan Ibu saya mengkonfirmasi cocok. Hiiiyyy.
Peringatan mimpi juga nyambung, Ibu mimpi diserang ular coklat-hitam, gua mimpi ngelihat Ibu diserang ular coklat-hitam.
Setelah boneka dibakar siangnya, Ibu bisa ngelihat normal dari jauh. Dan amarah gua langsung ngilang.
Pak Wahmi tukangnya Ibu, yang tahu berita ini, sepertinya trauma dan emosi nanyain kita siapa pelakunya. Kalo kita kasih tahu, bisa kalap dan ngebunuh si Pindang.
Salah satu tukang masaknya Ibu kembali dari desa balik ke kompleks rumah kita. Satu desa sama si Pindang. Cerita dia kalo si Pindang baru beli tanah, TANAH BOK! duitnya dari gebetan baru, siapa dia? Jeng jeng!... Salah satu supir cabutan Ibu... Istri sah si supir, diusir entah kenapa.
Jadi inget beberapa bulan sebelum diagnosa katarak, si Pindang nangis-nangis pinjem duit 4 juta ke Ibu buat entah apa. Nggak dikasih.
Motifnya balas dendam karena pekerja-pekerja cabutan kemarin dikasih tarif lebih mahal dari si PINDANG. Salah satu pekerja sesumbar "Wah enak kerja di Ibu, satu hari nginep dapet seGINI", si PINDANG mencak-mencak ke pekerja itu "KAMU KE IBU LAGI BESOK-BESOK... TAK HAJAR KAMU !!... TAK HAJAR". Si pekerja takut dong, kalah fisik.
Ceritanya kerjaan repot, semua pekerja nginep, cuma si Pindang yang pinjam SEPEDA MOTORNYA IBU buat pulang, kembali besok, waktu sudah tinggal menata jajanan. Ya jelas beda dong bayarannya.
Update cerita, ada pendatang dari desa si Pindang ke perumahan gua, cerita kalo si Pindang emang kerap pake genjutsu nya untuk ngambil duit orang hampir satu desa cuma sekitar 100rb-150rb setiap hari.
-----------------------------------------------
KONKLUSI
Pertama, gua orang biasa, garden-variation-weeb, standard-neckbeard, bukan ahli atau suhu klenik, ini cuma share yang tidak 100% foolproof*.* Saya share observasi saya yang memungkinkan si pelaku berhasil menyihir, mungkin setiap dukun punya metode skillset yang beda. Gua sudah obok-obok kaskus dan memutuskan tidak share ke sana, karena kalau ujung-ujungnya kirim foto, agak keberatan saya diterawang.
Suhu asli yang punya kemampuan silahkan saya dikoreksi. Karena ini domain asing buat saya.

• Kasus pertama, guna-guna berupa pelet, harus memenuhi semua keinginan si pemberi kutukan.
• Kasus kedua, murni stand user tuyul.
• Kasus ketiga, santet yang tidak segan-segan bertujuan membunuh.
• Ada barang dari target witchcraft/santet yang harus dikasihkan ke dukun, dapat berupa: foto, pakaian bekas, tanda tangan atau bekas kita menulis, kartu identitas, nama dan tanggal lahir, rambut, kuku, atau benda pribadi yang memuat informasi dari fisik kita sendiri. Artinya, mungkin gelas bekas minum nggak termasuk, karena dipakai orang banyak.Bagaimana dengan foto atau video di android? Entahlah, manusia maju, apa makhluk halus ikutan maju?
• Garam sebagai pengusir atau penguat? Sepertinya garam sebagai pembatas atau penunjuk jalan buat energi spiritual. Misal kita kirim kuntilanak ke orang di suatu area rumah, untuk mencegah kuntilanak itu mendengar adzan, doa pengusir setan atau takbiran dari luar, kita pasang garam untuk mengisolasi area itu.Sebaliknya jika ingin melindungi suatu area dari godaan dari luar yang angker, kita bersihkan area itu lalu dikasih garam untuk "tembok" nya. Apa begitu suhu sekalian?
• Ibadah dan spiritual MELINDUNGI target dan MENGURANGI penderitaannya, bukan MENGHILANGKAN kutukan. Rumah saya masih bertetangga dengan masjid yang setiap hari adzan, kejadian pertama tahun 2012-2013 Ibu saya bahkan menunaikan ibadah HAJI.Bentuk lindungan dari Tuhan kita adalah memperingati orang terdekat dari target (mimpi saya, tukang sayur keliling, bocah 2 tahun yang main-main, Pak Wahmi).Ibarat kebakaran, kita nggak kebakar, kita terlindung bangunan rumah, tapi tahu dan merasakan panasnya api, tidak memadamkan apinya juga sih.
• Ibadah dan observasi garam diatas juga membantu menetralisir guna-guna yang bersifat sementara. Contoh, Ibu dapat pesanan lemper, ketannya selalu berwarna abu, semua orang rumah menyaksikannya, sampe salah satu emak-emak baca ayat kursi nggak berhenti (konon kata si emak salah satu pertanda khusus disantet). Tapi setelah lemper dikirim luar rumah, warna lemper kembali normal, dan si pemesan nggak ada masalah apa-apa.
• Diskusi dari tukang pijat, jika target sedang begadang, cenderung susah masuk kutukannya, tidak 100% critical hit. Waktu ada kerjaan pesanan banyak, memang para pekerja dan Ibu saya begadang.
• Mulai cari dan susuri pojok-pojok rumah kalo ada benda mencurigakan seperti boneka, simpul buntelan tali yang bentuk manusia, tumpukan garam, foto yang dilipat kecil-kecil, kemenyan, cincin asing, batu hias, perhiasan yang entah punya siapa dan sebagainya jika terjadi hal berikut berturut-turut (sekali dua kali sepertinya wajar):
  • Mimpi buruk sampai terbangun sempurna (bukan bangun leyeh-leyeh mau pipis). Dan mimpi itu paralel dengan yang diimpikan target atau orang lain. Tentang ular, saya kok nggak yakin. Bisa baik, bisa buruk, sepertinya cuma penanda event dimulai atau berakhir.
  • Bangun tiba-tiba tanpa mimpi buruk, kondisi keringetan, padahal cuaca dingin.
  • Marah-marah dengan hal yang sepele setiap hari, atau selalu menerima instruksi yang salah (beli 5 ternyata kedengaran 2) dan varian miskomunikasi lainnya.
  • Jika ada sejarah fisik sehat, tapi tiba-tiba ada bagian tubuh sakit tiba-tiba tanpa penjelasan.
  • Takut / rasa angker menuju suatu area tertentu (Ibu saya kalo mau bakar sampah dekat jemuran baju selalu minta ditemani, takut katanya, biasanya enggak, cuma JEMURAN BAJU).
• Perlindungan pertama, ibadah, santuni anak yatim dengan tulus. Tidak memantulkan kutukan anda tetapi, menambah resistance magical-armor anda.
• Jika dekat rumah ada klinik ruqyah yang aman nggak sirik atau nggak satanic (metode ayat kitab suci dan maksimal air), nggak ada salahnya minta jasa. Untung 2 kilo dari rumah ada jasa ruqyah yang udah terbukti. (kalo jasa ruqyah minta ngesex, cari yang lain... just in case i word it wrong...)
• Kalau kasus tuyul, niru dari anjuran para tetangga. Di tempat menyimpan uang, pasang cermin atau mainan anak, logikanya (tuyul... logika... sigh whatevs...) dia bakal lihat wajahnya sendiri dan ketakutan sendiri, kalo lihat mainan, dia akan mainan sampe lupa ngambil duit. Atau jepit bendelan uang dengan klip yang rapat.
• Jika positif dan yakin disantet, si pengguna santet atau ilmu hitam, umumnya enggan bersentuhan dan bertatap muka/mata dengan sang target.

Panjang banget, sekian my Indonesian digital wizard.
​
edited for: TL,DR

• Beribadah.
• Kalo feeling angker cari boneka santet yang disembunyikan di rumah.
• Jasa ruqyah terdekat.

Why Prabowo-Sandi Lost: Caught by the Javanese Tsunami Part 1

PLAYING WITH STEREOTYPES

The second reason why Javanese backed Jokowi, was Prabowo and Gerindra looking down and stereotyping people in Central Java. Prabowo uses the politics of fear, and he has been doing this since 2014, and it has worked pretty well .In 2019 Election Prabowo upped his game by stereotyping the Central Javanese, some of it was unintentional like the Boyolali incident, others wasintentional like saying farmers in Central Java committed suicide. Moreover, many Javanese started to see attacks against Jokowi personal attributes and religion as attacks against them, because they realized they played on stereotypes many other Indonesians have of Javanese. Why would Prabowo "insult" Javanese voters. There are two explanations

1. They stereotyped voters in Central Java during the 2018 Governor's election, and they did reasonably well.
2. Prabowo knew he would lose in Central Java, but it was to motivate voters in regions supporting him to not vote for Jokowi or PDI-P or you will end up like the Central Javanese.

From the 2018 Governor's campaign in Central Java, Gerindra-PKS coalition tried to place the blame on the poverty of Central Java on the PDI-P. Here is a good example

Dan bagaimana cara kerja mereka melanggengkan dominasi kekuasaan di Jawa Tengah di tengah masyarakat Jawa Tengah yang tetap miskin, (Waketum Gerindra, Ferry Juliantono )

The reality is PDI-P only had effective control over Central Java starting from 2013 when Ganjar Pranowo took over. After Ganjar took over in 2013, there has been big jump in the amount of foreign investment Central Java has been receiving. Under Jokowi, both East and Central Java economies didn't suffer very much from the drop in commodity prices. Compare to the last 4 years of the SBY period, growth in real per capita income dropped from 5.5% a year to 5% in East Java, while in Central Java it actually rose slightly from around 4.35% to 4.58%.
I am going to talk about Javanese stereotypes, because much of the hate toward Jokowi is rooted in him being a walking billboard of these stereotypes. Many upper middle class outer islander particularly in Sumatra have a negative attitude toward working class Javanese.
First, the Javanese were seen as backward, poor, bangsa tempe and servile. Literacy rate in Indonesia in the 1930s was about 8%, and among the Javanese much lower.

In 1930, some of the lowest adult literacy rates in all Indonesia were recorded in the sultanates of Jogyakarta and Surakarta, and one suspects the feudal social structure and poverty in those regions had militarted against the extension of education for any but the bangsawan (nobility)

In the colonial era, the highest rates were in Christian areas like Batakland, Manado, Ambon and followed by conservative Muslims areas like Aceh and West Sumatra. The Javanese were also poor The Javanese transmigrants were the poorest and most deprived of the lot -- landless peasants. THe Javanese were also seen as Bangsa Tempe

Kami menggoyangkan langit, menggemparkan darat, dan menggelorakan samudera agar tidak jadi bangsa yang hidup hanya dari 2,5 sen sehari. Bangsa yang kerja keras, bukan bangsa tempe, bukan bangsa kuli. Bangsa yang rela menderita demi pembelian cita-cita,

At the time the only people in Indonesia who eat tempe were the Javanese and Sundanese.
Given the Javanese were also a hierarchical society, those Javanese peasants were easily pushed around by higher status locals. The victims depicted in Joshua Oppenheimer's sequel to the Act of Killing, Look of Silence, was a Javanese farming family., while the perpetrators were Malays
Because of the hierarchical culture on Java, Javanese women and men were often better suited to be employed as household servants. Up until his second year he became President, Jokowi often acted deferentially toward Megawati. To older generation of non-Javanese he was the Javanese man servant in his Blangkon and servant uniform asking the lady of the house what type of refreshments should he serve the guests. Even his name "Jokowi" was given by a Westerner which reinforces the image of servility..
To many older outer islanders, Jokowi could only be two things. With his medok accent, his skinny frame and his preference for food of the Javanese peasantry, Jokowi is a reincarnation of the 1960s PKI supporting Javanese plantation worker who wanted to overthrow traditional Malay rulers. Or with his servility toward Megawati, he is stereotypical Javanese butler.
The second stereotype applies to working class abangan Javanese is they are childlike and gullible. First the preference for sweet food among the Central Javanese gives off the air they are childlike. In making the Boyolali comment, Prabowo assumed the people of Boyolali, weren't just poor, but unaware of the wider world around them. This childlike image is reinforced by the tendency of working class Javanese to give their children one name, often very simple, names like Suharto, Sumarti, Wiranto, Mulyono and Suparman, The image of the childlike abangan Javanese is really reinforced by their preference for visual imagery over words whether or oral or written. Jokowi symbolizes this childlike nature by allowing people to use his nickname "Jokowi", his popularity with children and his preference for visual imagery.
The third is Javanese are unislamic and Javanese Islam of the NU variety is improper
Prabowo's false statement of Central Javanese hanging reinforces the notion the Javanese aren't Muslim, because committing suicide is a sin in Islam,
First, the popular sentiment that Javanese are un islamic stems from the relative relaxed approach toward Islam found among the Javanese.. Eating dogs, frogs and snakes is popular in Central Java. Here is a story of a Javanese Muslim pig farmer. There is a tolerance about converting away from islam to other religions in Javanese society.
Secondly, Muslim Javanese often put interest of non-believers over Muslims, particularly if they are fellow Javanese. Javanese Christians make up the most of the missionaries operating in Muslims areas in Sumatra, and yet there are is little restriction on their activities relative to neighboring countries. In Singapore, a Christian can be arrested for trying to convert Muslims, in Indonesia they can't
Even NU has a habit of bashing Muslim countries over non-Muslim ones, when fellow Javanese are affected.

Ketua Umum Pengurus Besar Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) KH Said Aqil Siroj, turut menyikapi terjadinya penembakan terhadap Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) di Malaysia. Terjadi ironi dalam kejadian tersebut, dimana TKI di negara non-Muslim dinilainya mendapatkan perlakuan yang lebih baik dibandingkan negara berpenduduk mayoritas Islam

As for the opinion on NU style Islam or Islam Nusantara being improper. People like Rizieq Shabib have criticized Islam Nusantara, but even he is careful enough to say it in jest. What many want to say is NU is "deviant", which only people in organizations like HTI would say openly. What Malay in Malaysia say about Indonesian (Javanese) is what Conservative Sumtrans Muslim think about the Javanese in the deep recess of their consciousness, but don't dare say.
The forth stereotype is the Javanese close association with non-Muslims or even secretly being non-Muslim. These reasons are rooted in history and political considerations.
First, the diffusion of Islam among the Javanese was slow and ad hoc. In the 19th century, in the interior regions of Java, among the abagan peasants, religion was most likely a combination of hindu-buddhism, folk religion and Islam. It didn't help that Quran wasn't fully translated (Kitab tafsir) into Javanese until the last decade of 19th century. Many Muslim Sumatrans, particularly the Acehnese, view the Javanese tolerance of Christianity as a Javanese weakness and servility to the West.
Secondly, outside of Habibie, who's father wasn't Javanese, all of Indonesia's Javanese Presidents have been slandered for having non-Muslims family members or being accused of being non-Muslim themselves, whether real or not. Sukarno's mother was Balinese Hindu, and many believed she had remained Hindu and died a Hindu, Sukarno had to release a photo showing her Muslim funeral ceremony. Tien Suharto was often accused of being born a Catholic. Suharto himself was rumored to be the bastard offspring of a Chinese merchant .Even SBY wasn't immune, there was rumors flying that Ibu Ani was Christian, since her maiden name was Kristiani Herrawati and she went to Christian University of Indonesia. Jokowi's daughter in law was Christian, and luckily for Jokowi the national press, which is controlled largely by Chinese Indonesians, didn't mention her former religion or her conversion to Islam.
Thirdly, Jokowi and Suharto like the Sultans before them use non-Muslims advisors. The Sultan often kept Balinese political and Chinese economic advisors. A Balinese advisor would know the intricacies of the Sultan's relations with various noble houses, but because they weren't Muslim, wouldn't pose a threat. One of Suharto most trusted advisors was Benny Moerdani, and Luhut Panjaitan serves the same function for Jokowi.
Fourthly, the Javanese have complicated relationship with Chinese Indonesians. Relations with Chinese and the javanese were generally good until the late 18th century, when the Dutch and Sultanate of Yogyakarta and Surakarta started sub-contracted the collector of tolls to the Chinese, as non-Muslims they didn't pose a political threat, and the Chinese would act as scapegoats.
After independence, Javanese Presidents have preferred to leave Chinese businesses alone, or favored them over Muslim outer islanders. The reasons are two fold, as non-Muslim, Chinese Indonesians don't pose a political threat, and because the Javanese as an agricultural society don't have a large business class. In contrast, other predominately Muslim ethnic groups in Indonesia, like the Minang and Bugis do, and see the Chinese as competitors. This is the reason why Suharto had no problem giving monopolies to Sudono Salim, at the expense of pribumi businessmen.
If you look at relations with Singapore/China/Chinese Indonesians, Habibie had the most distant relationship. While Suharto's enacted discriminatory policies toward Chinese Indonesians, his close relations with Chinese Indonesian businessmen negated this in the eyes of many Indonesians. While Sukarno, Megawati and Gus Dur might have better policies toward China and Chinese Indonesian than Jokowi, their personal connections with the Chinese isn't as strong as Jokowi. Jokowi as a furniture exporter had a lot of business in Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong. He sent his two sons to Singapore to study for both secondary school and university.
Because the relaxed nature of Javanese Islam and Javanese are the work horses of Nusantara, they often work for non-Muslims. Most of the staff working in non-halal Chinese restaurants are Javanese. Javanese maids prefer working in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, while Muslim maids from other ethnic groups in Indonesia prefer to work in the Middle East or Malaysia.
Jokowi is attacked so viciously is 1) He comes from a working class Javanese abangan, a pagan people only recently "tamed" by Islam 2) He is a member of the PDI-P, which many conservatives believe is a reconstituted PKI. We know Jokowi's father was Muslim. But what about his grand father and great grandfather. Jokowi could claim they were Muslim, but how Muslim were Javanese peasants in the Central Java interior in the early 20th and late 19th century? The Javanese sultan never cared if ordinary Javanese under his rule didn't convert to Islam. Secondly, because the Sultans felt the pesantrens threatened their authority, and until the 20th century restricted clerical activity on their lands.
For the Acehnese, Minang and Malays, the abangan were just a step above the Christian Batak, a people they have a long history of conflict with. The same with Malays vs Dayak, The Batak would raid Acehnese and Minang settlements in head hunting expeditions, and the Acehnese and Minang would retilate by raiding Batak settlements for slaves. The Dayaks also launched headhunting raids into Malay settlements, . The Dayaks more often served as slaves and occupying menial jobs in Malay communities in Kalimantan.
The two other ethnic Javanese Presidents of humble birth, Suharto and SBY avoided this scrutiny by doing exactly that. Suharto did so by being the architect in purging hundred of thousands of mostly Javanese abangan for this membership in the PKI. Or in the case of SBY marrying into the family of the lead figure in the purges in Central Java, Sarwo Edhie Wibowo. Jokowi hasn't done anything that reassures his detractors of his loyality.

CULTURE CLASH: INDONESIAN CAMPAIGN VS JAVANESE CAMPAIGN

The third reason why Prabowo-Sandi lost heavily to Jokowi in Tanah Jawa, is Prabowo ran a Indonesian campaign, while Jokowi ran a Javanese campaign.
ECONOMIC MODEL
Traditionally the Javanese and Sundanese traded rice, a labor intensive crop, for land intensive crops of the outer islands. In the 18h century new lands were opened up on Java, and cash crops were planted, this expanded greatly in the 19th century under the cultivation system. When land ran out on Java,, the Europeans opened plantations in the outer islands (Sumatra). The British did the same in Malaya. Both the Dutch and British imported labor from Java, China and India for the plantations and mines. When Indonesia became independent, this economic system of extracting natural resources and trading them continued. Transmigration program exported Javanese and Balinese to serve as the manpower for newly opened lands.
Gerindra is comfortable with this economic model and its analogies. For Gerindra it all comes down to lack of strong and wise leadership. First they assume land and natural resources is Indonesia's most valuable resource, but resources need tp be better managed. Secondly, it has a confused economic message. It argues Java is reaping all growth and development, but calls Central Java poor. The accusations, Java is benefiting more happens every time there is a commodity crash. Thirdly, there is a assumption working class Indonesians will take up any job they want them to do.
In the first term, Jokowi has promoted tourism and creative industries (e-commerce, film). In his second Jokowi plans lay the ground work for improving Indonesia's manufacturing base, particularly in East and Central Java. The reason why Jokowi given a priority to these industries is there are labor intensive and the majority of Indonesia's population, particularly on Java, don't live in areas blessed with land and natural resources. You need as much foreign investment and expertise as possible, and that is why Jokowi has opened them up.
Even during the campaign stops in Central and East Java, Prabowo hammered at the natural resource theme. Its shows a lack of understanding Java's economic history . In the 1930s, Java was the second largest exporter of sugar in the world after Cuba, In Java and Cuba's case the reason for the decline was nationalization and mismanagement, but the real reason was competition from Brazil. Also starting from the 1970s, sugar cane farming moved from Java to the outer islands. Brazil wants to repeat what they did to Java in the 1950-60s with Palm Oil.
The Javanese have been sending people abroad to work for 150 years, whether within Indonesia or in other countries. Unlike other ethnic groups like Minang or Bugis, where most migrants are men, lower class Javanese women also migrate in search of work, in some cases in greater numbers than men. The priority for the Javanese is breaking this cycle of migration.
Javanese society has an agrarian working class mentality, not a trading mentality. They don't care whether they work for a foreign or local company, the most important thing is they get paid on time, which Prabowo doesn't have a habit of doing with his own companies. To your average working class youth in small town in East Java, what is the difference between working in Sumatra vs Taiwan? There are 270,000 Indonesians working in Taiwan, a good % of them are working in factories. How do you convince the Taiwanese factory owner to move his factory in Central Java? Prabowo-Sandi offers no credible solutions to getting the factory owner to move the factory.
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN VS REGIONAL CAMPAIGN
Prabowo ran a national campaign with the same 2014 message, of elites and foreigners stealing Indonesia's natural resources, and he is the only one who can stop them. The difference this time was the added veneer of Islam, His last campaign rally in Surakarta, it looked like it could have been taken place in West Sumatra or Banten. In contrast, Jokowi campaign rallies were tailored to the region. In Surakarta, PDI-P red dominated and you had dangdut singers performing, while in more conservative cities in East Java, supporters from NU dominated.
It was noticeable in advertising. The difference between Prabowo's music videos this year and in 2014. It was like Prabowo decided to change his sex and become a born again Muslim all at the same time. Nevertheless, Prabowo's video are like a typical music video, you have background and singers signing a catchy campaign tune. Jokowi's Goyang Jempol campaign video has a storyline mixed in with the song, which is typical of Javanese music videos produced by groups like Guyon Waton and Pendhoza. Goyang Jempol gives the impression you are in some 3rd tier town in Central or East Java, while in Prabowo's videos they could be anywhere in Indonesia. The characters are dressed how working class Indonesians would dress when going to the market . Lastly, they also mix in common Javanese words most Indonesians would understand.
ARCHETYPES
The final problem with Prabowo-Sandi's campaign in Tanah Jawa was they went in with Indonesian archetypes. Archetype is defined as a typical example of a person or thing. For our purposes archetype is representative voter persona. The problem with the Indonesian media is they refuse or too scared to acknowledge certain archetype exist. A typical Indonesian archetype might not necessarily resonate well with Javanese voters. The PDI-P and NU, being primarily Javanese organizations, know and target those archetypes. Even in mature democracies people can miss out on archetypes. In the book "Great Revolt" about Trump's 2015 election win, the authors into depth about archetypes. People talk about social media advertising as a conduit for creation of hoaxes. But the true value of social media advertising is marketing to archetypes.
Certain archetype exists in one society, but not in others. Many Sumatran ethnic groups don't have a large working class, people who work for a wage for non-relatives. In Javanese society because of its size and social conditions, there is a large Javanese working class. When you think of Indonesian maid, you don't think of a Acehnese or Minang woman named Siti Fatimah, but a Javanese woman named Sumiarti. When you think of a carpenter or word carver its usually a Javanese fellow name Mulyono or Balinese man named Nyoman, not Ahmad Nasution..
The Javanese are experts are creating archetypes. The wayang characters are all archetypes. Soekarno created a modern archetype in mythologizing his childhood maid, Sarinah.
Now, I will show you how the Indonesian media and Prabowo-Sandi approach a particular archetype, and why it fell flat in the Javanese context. During the election Prabowo-Sandi used the emak-emak archetype for Indonesian women. An emak-emak is defined as

Long before the recent sensation around the term, emak was understood by many Indonesian women (especially middle-aged women) to imply power, agency, toughness, mobility, freedom, resilience, independence, as well as stubbornness.

There have been a lot of memes about emak-emak. Prabowo's Sandi's side was done a campaign video with emak-emak. Sandi: Kita Tidak Boleh Remehkan The Power of Emak-Emak. The emak-emak video is a good example of how they approach archetypes.
Jokowi's camp was caught off guard, and wanted to use the term emak-emak, but Jokowi backtracked

Two weeks ago, the Indonesian Women’s Congress (KWI) denounced the use of the term emak-emak,(link is external) and declared a preference for Indonesian mothers to be called ibu bangsa (mothers of the nation). Reflecting how politicised this debate has now become, Jokowi soon after tweeted in support of ibu bangsa,(link is external)

First emak-email falls short in Javanese society for several reasons. First, it reminds people of Suharto era archetype of women largely as mothers.
Secondly, Javanese society has organizations that place women's role as equal or close to equal as men. PDI-P, Indonesia's largest political party, is organization dominated at the top by Javanese women. NU and PKB have strong women's branches. In East Java's the governor and the mayor of the largest city are women. In Jokowi's cabinet, the Finance and Foreign Affairs Minister are Javanese women tHE Sultan of Yogyakarta and his daughter IS trying to upend centuries of tradition. Among lower class women in Indonesia, Javanese women, because of labor surplus, have a long history of travelling to other regions in search of work
Thirdly, the Sandi-Prabowo camp doesn't have room for single women and fallen women. In the Indonesian context, fallen women includes divorced women, women who marry non-Muslim men, women who convert and women in the entertainment industry (dangdut singers, bargirls etc). A good example is Susi Pudjiastuti, even though she is Sundanese, she is from Pangandaran, a region with a lot of Javanese influence. It is next door to Central Java, and this region acted as launch pad for Mataram Sultanate invasion of West java. It is culturally similar to regions on Jalur Pantura, in the North Coast of Java. All these regions have a seedy underbelly.

RISING JAVANESE IDENTITY

Lastly, Prabowo-Sandi's loss in Tanah Jawa was due to a rising Javanese identity. There are three factor to this rising identity. The first is rising availability of cheap broadband in Central and East Java, this allows the Javanese to use their preferred medium and social network, videos and Youtube. This enables people to connect and expresses themselves outside the national media. The second, is the sentiment which Javanese culture and language has reached a critical juncture, and more must be done to safeguard it. The last is decentralization which contributed to the rise of modern regional politicians like Jokowi.
Since Jokowi became President in 2014, you see a rise in Javanese popular culture whether the rise in popularity of singers who sing in Javanese with Nella Kharisma and Via Vallen being the most popular. Last year the first full length Javanese film, Yowis Ben was released. While musicians who sing Javanese Dangdut or Campursari have been popular like Didi Kempot, their image was kitschy and old fashioned. However, what is more important is what is happening online, particularly on youtube. Bayu Skak, Yowis Ben's director and lead actor, got his start on youtube. Youtube has extended the reach of existing Javanese singers. People might not want to buy a cassette or CD, but won't mind listening to one song. Some of the new Javanese musicians like Guyon Waton, Pendhoza and NDXAKA primary distribution channel and revenue model is youtube. The importance of youtube, doesn't just extend to popular culture, but as channel for voices that aren't fully represented in the national media. Javanese Kyai, some known to the national media and others less well known, use youtube as a medium to release sermons and discussions. There are youtube channels of life in contemporary rural Java, farming, channels by maids working overseas.
Youtube channels are like reliefs in Borobudur,

The bas-reliefs in Borobudur depicted many scenes of daily life in 8th-century ancient Java, from the courtly palace life, hermit in the forest, to those of commoners in the village. It also depicted temple, marketplace, various flora and fauna, and also native vernacular architecture. People depicted here are the images of king, queen, princes, noblemen, courtier, soldier, servant, commoners, priest and hermit.

Javanese are introverted and like to communicate visually and through storytellimg, because you can express yourself without confronting people. Many of these youtube channels were started within the last five years. If you watch enough of these videos, you being to realize why Jokowi resonates with his fellow Javanese. A theme found in Javanese Dangdut songs, whether in lyrics or the videos, is work and struggle. Laoneis Band - Ayo Kerjo, Pendhoza - Aku Cah Kerjo, NDXAKA - Pamit Kerjo. Even music videos that aren't about work, the characters in the video are seen working like Guyon Waton Korban Janji and DARBOY GENK - BALUNGAN KERE. The theme of work play heavily in Jokowi's image and slogans. Kabinet-Kerja and the slogan Kerja, Kerja, Kerja
Loss of Culture
Idur Fitri is upon us, and people have arrived in their hometowns. Javanese families in Jakarta will take their kids to see the grandparents in Tenah Java. One refrain will be heard tens of thousand times across Central and East Java, will be grand parents scolding parents for not teaching their grand kids Javanese. There is this youtuber, Budi Sarwono, who did a series of videos in Suriname talking to Javanese there. Here is the top rated comment on one of the videos
The efforts to attract foreign investment in Javanese home provinces is to stop migration which often leads to culture and language loss. Even in East and Central Java teachers are worried about the declining use of Javanese among young people, and are trying to reverse the trend. Its also the reason why groups like Pendhoza and Guyon Waton are invited by schools to hold concerts. Javanese is the most widely spoke n language in the world without official status.
There is a long held view among many Westerners and many people in the outer islands, that Indonesia is a Javanese Empire. However, the Javanese didn't force anyone to learn Javanese, instead they learned Malay, If regions in Indonesia decided separate and form individual independent countries after independence, cultureally those in Sumatra and Kalimantan wouldn't look too different to what we have today. A Sundanese or Javanese state would be culturally very different from what we find in their respective regions today. Its why Sumatrans and Malaysia embrace Islam so strongly, because their "language" is protected. While Minang is different from Malay, its not fundamentally different the way Javanese is. In his 1966 work The Language of Indonesian Politics Benedict Anderson explains how different Javanese is to Malay
When discussion were held as to what language to use as a national language, the Javanese had much lower literacy rates than people in Sumatra. Most of the schools setup by the Dutch on Java were still teaching in Malay. Not only was Malay easier to learn than Javanese, it also had the advantage of a much larger pool of teachers spread out across the country. In the 1910s some Javanese tried to setup modern Javanese schools like Taman Siswa, and the Dutch setup Kartini schools which taught Javanese and Dutch. If there was more literate Javanese there would have been a greater push to make it the national language. I suspect the priority for Javanese leaders was to educate the millions of illiterate landless Javanese peasants, to speak Malay, so they could integrate more easily with Malay speaking communities in Sumatra and Borneo.

JOKOWI: THE JAVANESE MUSE AND STORYTELLER

The decisive factor in Prabowo-Sandi horrible loss in the Javanese homeland was they faced Joko Widodo, Indonesia's most potent base politician she has seen -- a base politician is a politician who draws the bulk of his support from group of people. Jokowi is the most Javanese of all of Indonesia's Presidents. Jokowi got 56% of the vote, 15% points comes from non- Javanese Muslim voters, 11% points from religious minorities and 30% points come from his fellow Javanese. Jokowi won over 70% of the Javanese vote.
Jokowi is the embodiment of Javanese hopes, struggles, frustrations and injustices. While Sukarno could inspire ordinary Javanese, he never had the same emotional connection Jokowi had with ordinary Javanese. Unlike Soekarno and Prabowo, Jokowi doesn't manipulate people's emotions, but channels them. In Yogyakarta on March 26, 2019, Jokowi made an angry speech

Sudah empat setengah tahun saya difitnah, dijelek-jelekkan, dihujat, dihina, saya diam, tetapi hari ini di Yogya, saya akan lawan, ingat, sekali lagi, saya akan lawan,

If you look at the angry crowds in East and Central Java jeering at FPI convoys, Jokowi was channeling that anger.
Unlike in 2014, in Jokowi spoke more Javanese, wore the Blangkon more often, and used more Javanese symbolism. But more importantly, from the start he was much more combative, like he was leading his people to war.

Selamat siang. Segala sifat keras hati, picik, dan angkara murka hanya bisa dikalahkan dengan sikap bijak, lembut, dan sabar.

For Javanese traditionalist (aka 80 year old Javanese grandmothers), Jokowi is the epitome of Javanese manners, good behavior and respect for elders. Older people in Dharmic cultures like the Sundanese and Balinese see Jokowi attitude toward Megawati and how he treats people older than him, regardless of class, as a virtue. Its why Jokowi polls extremely high among people 71 and over, 65% to 19% compared to Prabowo, and if you go back to 2014 it is the same. Even the Western press consider Prabowo mentally unstable and explosive, how do you think your average 75 year Javanese would feel?
Jokowi is a stereotypical Javanese. He is introverted, more comfortable with symbols and visual imagery than words. Sukarno and Prabowo communication style is stereotypical Malay, not Javanese, with their speeches being bombastic and fiery. The same could apply to Rizieq Shibab, who is more bite than bark. This is in sharp contrast to a Javanese-Arab like Abu Bakar Ba'asyir. Being bombastic and fiery is one Malay speaking style, another is putting word play above action, a good example is Fadli Zon and Anies Baswedan. WIth Prabowo and Anies you remember what they say, with Jokowi you don't, but you remember him from images, like this and this
As I said before, Jokowi presidency can be defined by the slogan "Kerja. kerja, kerja". Some people have criticized this slogan as Ketua Umum Pengurus Pusat (PP) Pemuda Muhammadiyah, Dahnil Azhar Simanjuntak said

Menurut saya ini tradisi buruk, kata-kata kerja, kerja, kerja itu cuma ungkapan untuk menganulir pikir, pikir, pikir. Karena nggak bisa mikir, maka pilihan katanya adalah kerja, kerja, kerja. Karena nggak bisa pidato, maka pilihan katanya adalah kerja, kerja, kerja untuk menutupi ketidakmampuan yang sesungguhnya,

What Simanjuntak wants to say "Is what does a working class abangan carpenter know about government, its not like making a coffee table for the Nonya" While the national media didn't criticize the slogan, but they didn't put much thought into it. As I said before, for working class Javanese, there is a strong connection. Unlike most other ethnic groups in Nusantara, the Javanese have a long history of working to the bone. Jalur Pantura which was built over one year, and which thousands of forced Javanese and Sundanese laborers died building it. Even with Jokowi, this work to death culture is reflected in the number of workers killed in accidents due to disregard for safety.
While Trump's medium is twitter, Jokowi's medium is photos and youtube. Jokowi communicates visually through symbols and storyboard (video), Ganjar Pranowo , the governor of Central Java, also has a video channel as well as that official channel. In a previous comment I described the significance of Jokowi's taking up the hobby of archery and the photo with his wife. His youtube channel is like a modern version of the relief panels in Borobudur. Imagine Jokowi is the lead stone mason in Borobudur, he is sculpting the grand story, like the life of the Buddha, through his youtube channel. Or he could telling the story of Arjuna was inspecting his kingdom before the battle with Rawasa in the Javanese Kekawin Arjunawijaya, His videos of him visiting finished tolls roads, dams, airports is like Arjuna on an inspection tour. While junior stone masons are working on reliefs panels of ordinary Javanese life, just as hundreds of ordinary Javanese are telling their life journey through youtube.
Why Prabowo-Sandi Lost: Caught by the Javanese Tsunami Part I
