Asian Tiger 🐯

@randommartyr @anishmoonka and then mbg & kopdes merah putih arrived

@anishmoonka TBH many Indonesians, including me, are against this grandiose project. Vanity lies in the lower rank of priorities in the mind of average Indonesians.

The man behind this building is a sculptor. He was given 12 days to come up with a design. He had never designed a building. He won the contest. Every part of it, down to each feather, represents one date: August 17, 1945, Indonesia's independence day. His name is Nyoman Nuarta, a sculptor from Bali. His most famous work is the giant Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue. It's 121 meters tall and took 25 years to finish. For the palace, Nuarta's idea was simple: take a 9-story office building, then wrap a giant copper bird around the whole thing. The bird is a Garuda, a mythical creature from Hindu stories that also sits at the center of Indonesia's national symbol. Five major architect groups in Indonesia signed a letter protesting the design. The government went with it anyway. The wings carry 17 feathers, the tail 8, the base 19, the neck 45. Together: August 17, 1945. The body was designed to be 76 meters tall, chosen because 2021 was the 76th year of Indonesia's independence. The whole structure is a sculpture you can work inside. The outer skin is made of 4,650 copper bars, each one weighing 300 kilograms, about the weight of a piano. Together that's around 1,400 tonnes of copper, roughly the weight of 1,000 cars, just on the outside of the building. Right now it looks bronze. Over the coming decades the copper will react with air and slowly turn bluish-green. That's the same effect that turned the Statue of Liberty green. It's already starting on Nuarta's earlier Bali statue. The palace sits 1,200 kilometers (about 750 miles) from Jakarta, on the island of Borneo. Indonesia is building Nusantara, an entirely new capital, because Jakarta is the fastest-sinking major city in the world. Some neighborhoods in the north drop up to 25 centimeters (about 10 inches) every single year. Large parts of the city could be underwater by 2050. The new capital was projected to cost $32 billion. State funding peaked at $2 billion in 2024. President Prabowo Subianto took office that October and cut the budget to $700 million the next year. The 2026 budget is $300 million, an 85% drop in two years. The full move-in date has slipped from 2024 to 2028. Only 4,000 government workers are scheduled to relocate there this year. A building shaped like a bird, designed by a sculptor, marked with a date, slowly turning green. The capital it was built to anchor may never fully arrive.

@kementerianmeme ayo la tuntut, buka kitabisa juga sekalian kita sewa lawyer2 paling berisik di dunia

funfact tentang kejadian mati listrik di Sumatra : > ini bukan kali pertama > Juni 2024 juga kejadian, waktu itu butuh 38 jam untuk pulih 100% > malam ini kata PLN estimasi pemulihan: 6–8 jam > sinyal Telkomsel ikut mati karena tower BTS bergantung listrik PLN > PLN sampai sekarang belum pernah kasih kompensasi ke pelanggan untuk kasus blackout massal seperti ini 2 tahun lho ya masih kejadian aja mati listrik massal😂ga ada yg mau nuntut kompensasi? wkwkw

@hqlidpp @iPopBase maafnya cuma ke bapak2 🤣🤣🤣

@iPopBase Estimasi 6-12jam wkwkwk. Enak betul cuma bilang mohon maaf & mohon doa. Dan iya, ngga akan ada dispensasi atau ganti rugi apapun dari pln. Begitu besok listrik nyala, hidup berjalan lagi kayak ga terjadi apa². Negara anjg.

Sumatra has been hit with another major blackout.

@Mat_on_Vacation @localrkyt wkwkwk kasih paham pak Mat

@localrkyt nampak sangat hati busuk tak suka dengar orang berselawat.

bukan ada rules ke tak boleh main alat musik dalam train? Dalam pengangkutan awam, takda siapa yg suka bising2. Buat kat tempat open takpa. Ni common sense takda 🤷
