Indonesia’s Land Ministry Targets IDR 3.3 Trillion in Non-Tax Revenue by 2026—Here’s the Strategy

Indonesia’s Land Ministry Targets IDR 3.3 Trillion in Non-Tax Revenue by 2026—Here’s the Strategy.

Jakarta – The Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) is confident it can increase its Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) for the 2026 fiscal year. The ministry’s Secretary General, Pudji Prasetijanto Hadi, emphasized that this goal will be achieved through strong commitment, strategic planning, and hard work from all departments.

During a meeting with the Budget Committee of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Pudji highlighted that achieving the 2026 target requires consistency in completing ongoing programs throughout 2025.

“We believe, God willing, we can reach the 2026 target. But it all depends on whether we can finish what we started this year. It takes the right policies and concrete actions,” Pudji said on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, following the Working Committee (Panja) discussion on fiscal assumptions and the initial phase of the 2026 State Budget (RAPBN).

Four Strategic Focuses for Increasing PNBP in 2026

During the budget meeting, the Secretary General presented a strategic overview, focusing on four key areas that the Ministry plans to prioritize to boost PNBP:

1. Digital Access to Land Certificate Information
   The first focus is improving access to land ownership and location data through electronic services. The ministry also aims to diversify its public information services by expanding Thematic Geospatial Information (IGT) coverage.

2. Enhancing Technology-Based Public Services
   The second focus is the development of technology-driven public services. The ministry is committed to implementing electronic land certificates to ensure faster, more transparent services across regions.

3. Reviewing Service Fees to Support Investment and Public Access
   The third focus involves reviewing service tariffs to support a healthy investment climate while still being inclusive for the general public. The goal is to balance revenue generation with affordability.

4. Optimizing the Use of State Assets
   The final focus is on maximizing the use of ministry-owned assets to boost PNBP without adding a burden to citizens or compromising public interest.

With these strategies, the Ministry believes it can meet the 2026 revenue target through collaborative efforts and efficient internal coordination.

IDR 3.3 Trillion Revenue Target Backed by Strong Land Services Performance

As of the end of June 2025, the Ministry has already generated IDR 1.2 trillion in PNBP, which accounts for 37.3 percent of the yearly target. The majority of this revenue—around 97 percent—comes from land services, particularly from land registration.

This consistent performance is further supported by the ministry’s ongoing digital transformation, which has helped streamline services and maintain a high level of transparency.

On average, the Ministry records an annual PNBP growth of 14.2 percent, which reflects a positive trend in its contribution to non-tax state revenues.

Digital Transformation as the Game Changer

A major factor behind the success of PNBP growth is the ministry’s digital service integration. By reducing manual processing and promoting the use of electronic systems, services are now faster, more accessible, and less prone to errors.

The ministry’s push for digital transformation ensures that all land-related data is accurately maintained, helping to reduce fraud and enhance trust from the public and investors alike.

With a clear roadmap, strong leadership, and digital innovation, the Ministry of ATR/BPN is optimistic about its 2026 PNBP target of IDR 3.3 trillion. This is more than just a financial achievement—it’s about transforming public services to be more efficient, transparent, and impactful for everyday citizens.

The Ministry's efforts are also aligned with national goals to modernize public administration and optimize state assets. Citizens and stakeholders can expect improved services that not only support economic growth but also make land ownership more secure and accessible.

Let’s support the land administration reform and digital transformation for a better and more organized Indonesia.

Indonesian Government Promotes Human Rights-Based Agrarian Conflict Resolution Through Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration

Indonesian Government Promotes Human Rights-Based Agrarian Conflict Resolution Through Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration

Indonesian Government Promotes Human Rights-Based Agrarian Conflict Resolution Through Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration.

Jakarta — Agrarian conflicts in Indonesia continue to spark tension across many regions. Addressing this issue, Deputy Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Deputy Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), Ossy Dermawan, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to resolve these conflicts through a human rights-based approach involving various stakeholders.

During a meeting with Indonesia’s National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) held at the ATR/BPN office in Jakarta on Monday, July 7, 2025, Ossy emphasized the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration in addressing land disputes that have long plagued the country.

“Land issues can’t be handled by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs alone. We need collaboration from ministries, agencies, local governments, and law enforcement. That’s why we fully support Komnas HAM’s initiative to jointly develop a roadmap for resolving agrarian conflicts based on human rights principles,” Ossy said.

He highlighted that agrarian disputes often involve overlapping forest boundaries, spatial planning concerns, environmental protections, and legal complexities. This is why a shared roadmap that involves all stakeholders is essential.

“Our goal is not to produce just another policy document. This roadmap must be actionable and lead to real, measurable impacts on the ground so communities can benefit directly,” Ossy added.

Why Human Rights Matter in Agrarian Conflict Resolution

Agrarian conflict is not just about administrative land disputes; it’s about people’s lives and their rights to secure livelihoods. Komnas HAM Chairperson Anies Hidayah emphasized that every approach to land conflict resolution must put human rights at the core, especially when it affects vulnerable groups like indigenous communities and small farmers.

“Agrarian disputes are not merely legal cases; they are human issues. People deserve legal certainty and justice when it comes to their source of income and living space. Komnas HAM is committed to a comprehensive solution grounded in human rights principles,” Anies said.

She added that cross-institutional cooperation is key to ending prolonged land disputes across Indonesia. The roadmap being developed is expected to create shared understanding and clear role distribution among stakeholders.

Inclusive Collaboration Is the Key

Accompanying Deputy Minister Ossy at the meeting were Adjie Arifuddin, an expert in Public Administration and Good Governance, along with senior officials from ATR/BPN and representatives from Komnas HAM. All parties agreed that resolving land conflicts requires the active participation of everyone—from national and local governments to communities and civil society groups.

Why is this inclusive approach important? Because many land conflicts are rooted in:

• Policy overlaps between central and regional authorities,

• Unclear forest zone boundaries,

• Large-scale investments that ignore community land rights,

• Weak legal enforcement in rural areas.

When everyone is involved in designing and implementing the roadmap, conflicts can be tackled more effectively, and community trust in government efforts can be strengthened.

What to Expect From the Roadmap

The upcoming human rights-based roadmap is envisioned to:

• Serve as a practical guide for inter-agency cooperation,

• Provide legal clarity and direction for field implementation,

• Become a working document that evolves with ongoing input and field realities.

If properly executed, this initiative can help:

• Offer legal certainty for land ownership and use,

• Significantly reduce land conflicts in rural and urban areas,

• Ensure the state is truly present and responsive in protecting citizens’ land rights.

Land conflicts in Indonesia go far beyond legal ownership. They are about fairness, survival, and dignity. By placing human rights at the forefront and fostering collaborative action, the government and Komnas HAM are setting a meaningful precedent.

This isn’t just a bureaucratic effort. It’s a concrete step to ensure land governance becomes more humane, inclusive, and fair for all Indonesians.

Police Bust 11 Kg Meth Trafficking Network from Sumatra, Three Suspects Arrested in Jakarta

Police Bust 11 Kg Meth Trafficking Network from Sumatra, Three Suspects Arrested in Jakarta

Police Bust 11 Kg Meth Trafficking Network from Sumatra, Three Suspects Arrested in Jakarta.

The Jakarta Metropolitan Police have successfully uncovered a major drug trafficking operation involving methamphetamine. Officers from the Narcotics Directorate arrested three suspects linked to a network believed to originate from Sumatra. The suspects have been identified by their initials: S, D, and A.

According to AKBP Ade Candra, Head of Sub-Directorate 3 at the Narcotics Directorate, the arrest was made following a tip-off from the public regarding suspicious drug activity in the Beji area of Depok. Acting on this information, officers from Unit 4 of the Sub-Directorate 3 began surveillance and moved in around 11:00 PM local time.

“We initially arrested a man identified as S. After questioning him, we obtained further information about the location of additional narcotics,” said AKBP Ade on Saturday, July 12, 2025.

The investigation led officers to a rented room in Grogol Petamburan, West Jakarta, specifically on Jl. Perdana Kusuma. During the raid, two more suspects, D and A, were taken into custody. At the scene, officers discovered a black suitcase containing 11 large packages of methamphetamine, weighing a total of 11 kilograms.

In addition to the meth, police seized several other items believed to be used in the drug operation, including:

• A digital scale

• Large plastic clips

• Several mobile phones

According to the police, the drugs are believed to have been smuggled from Sumatra and were intended for distribution across Jakarta and its surrounding areas.

“This meth was part of a larger distribution plan by a Sumatra-based network, targeting markets in Jakarta and nearby cities,” explained AKBP Ade.

Severe Penalties Await

Given the volume of drugs involved, the suspects could face extremely severe legal consequences under Indonesia’s Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics. If found guilty, the accused may face life imprisonment or even the death penalty, depending on the court’s ruling.

Public Participation Matters

This operation was made possible thanks to a report from a concerned citizen, highlighting how important public vigilance is in the fight against drug crimes. The Jakarta Police urge residents to continue reporting any suspicious activity in their neighborhoods.

The seizure of 11 kilograms of meth in Jakarta highlights the ongoing threat of drug trafficking in Indonesia. It also demonstrates the commitment of law enforcement to dismantling drug networks. The public is encouraged to stay alert and support these efforts by reporting suspicious behavior. Combating drugs is not just the job of the police—it’s a collective responsibility to protect our communities and future generations.

Nine Fake Reporters Arrested After Extorting Hotel Guest in South Tangerang

Nine Fake Reporters Arrested After Extorting Hotel Guest in South Tangerang

Nine Fake Reporters Arrested After Extorting Hotel Guest in South Tangerang.

South Tangerang, Indonesia — Police have arrested nine individuals who pretended to be journalists and blackmailed a hotel guest in Ciputat, South Tangerang. These individuals targeted their victim by accusing him of immoral acts, then demanded money in exchange for not publishing a fabricated news report.

The Setup: A Planned Accusation Followed by Intimidation

According to Kombes Pol. Ade Ary Syam Indradi, Head of Public Relations for Metro Jaya Police, the incident began when the victim, identified only as “N,” was approached by a woman outside a hotel. Without warning, she suddenly hugged him and started a conversation—an action apparently designed to create suspicion.

Afterward, the woman led the victim into a room claimed to be an "office" for a news outlet. Once inside, the intimidation started. The fake journalists accused the victim of committing an immoral act and threatened to expose him through their “media” unless he paid them off.

Fearing public humiliation and damage to his reputation, the victim agreed to transfer IDR 15 million (approximately $900), even though the group initially demanded as much as IDR 130 million (over $7,500).

Who Were the Suspects?

Police arrested the following nine individuals involved in the blackmail scheme:

• Farika Ferizal

• Krosbi MP Butar Butar

• Payaman Sihombing

• Ester Irawati Hutajulu

• Andar Hutasoit

• San Fransisco Butar Butar

• Antoni Castro

• Abel Edison

• Roi Muba Hutagulung

All of them posed as journalists from a fake media outlet called Post Keadilan, which they used as a front for their extortion attempts.

Their Modus Operandi: Targeting Couples at Transit Hotels

Further investigation revealed this wasn’t a one-time crime. The group had been running similar schemes by monitoring couples leaving short-stay hotels, especially those who didn’t appear to be married.

Once a target was identified, the group would follow them home or to their workplace. Then, they would confront the person while pretending to be journalists, accusing them of immoral behavior and threatening to publish the story unless they paid a bribe.

This operation relied heavily on fear—fear of public shame and personal ruin. Their approach was calculated, manipulative, and deeply unethical.

Police Warning: Not All Who Claim to Be Journalists Are Real

Police are now warning the public to be extremely cautious of people claiming to be reporters but who lack proper credentials.

"Real journalists follow ethical codes and don’t intimidate people for money," said Kombes Pol. Ade Ary. "Always ask for official identification and verify the media outlet before engaging."

If you find yourself being threatened by individuals claiming to be journalists, especially in suspicious circumstances, you are urged to report the incident immediately to local authorities.

How to Protect Yourself From Fake Journalist Scams

1. Request Official Press ID
   Always ask for a press card and verify the person’s media affiliation through online searches or official websites.

2. Stay Calm Under Pressure
   Scammers rely on your fear and panic. Don’t rush into paying anything out of fear.

3. Record the Encounter If Possible
   If you’re being intimidated, discreetly record the conversation for your safety and as evidence.

4. Contact Law Enforcement
   Never hesitate to report suspicious individuals to the police, especially if you feel threatened or blackmailed.

This case is a strong reminder to be alert and cautious. Fake journalists not only tarnish the reputation of professional media workers but also pose a real threat to public safety by using lies and fear as weapons.

Always verify someone’s identity before cooperating, especially when they claim to be part of the press. Being cautious and informed can help you avoid falling victim to scams like this.

If you or someone you know has experienced something similar, don’t stay silent—report it and help bring these criminals to justice.

Inter Miami vs Nashville Prediction: Messi and Surridge Clash in High-Scoring MLS Showdown

Inter Miami vs Nashville Prediction: Messi and Surridge Clash in High-Scoring MLS Showdown

Inter Miami vs Nashville Prediction: Messi and Surridge Clash in High-Scoring MLS Showdown.

A thrilling MLS matchup is on the horizon as Inter Miami welcome Nashville SC to Fort Lauderdale this weekend. This clash not only features two strong teams, but also showcases two of the league’s most in-form goal scorers — Lionel Messi for the hosts and Sam Surridge for the visitors.

Inter Miami Riding Post-Club World Cup Confidence

Although Inter Miami didn’t win the Club World Cup, facing elite teams like FC Porto and Paris Saint-Germain appears to have boosted their confidence in domestic play.

Since returning to the MLS regular season, they’ve looked sharp — first with a dominant 4-1 victory over Montréal, followed by a hard-fought 2-1 win against the New England Revolution. Despite the stats slightly favoring their opponents, Messi once again proved to be the difference-maker.

Messi Breaks More MLS Records

Messi scored both goals in the win over New England, adding to the two he netted against Montréal. Across the three matches before the Club World Cup and the two after, Messi has racked up 9 goals and 4 assists.

He also became the first player in MLS history to score multiple goals in four straight regular-season games — an incredible achievement that puts him firmly back in the MVP conversation.

Sam Surridge: Nashville’s Breakout Striker

While not as globally recognized as Messi, Sam Surridge has quietly become one of the most dangerous forwards in MLS. Since joining Nashville from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2023, his first season and a half were solid, with 20 goals in 47 matches across all competitions.

In 2025, however, Surridge has exploded onto the scene. He now leads the MLS scoring charts with 18 goals in 22 appearances, including 5 penalties. He also scored twice in Nashville’s US Open Cup quarterfinal win over DC United, giving him 12 goals in his last 8 games.

Nashville Still Has Star Power in Hany Mukhtar

Nashville is more than just Surridge. They still have Hany Mukhtar, a former league MVP, who remains a creative threat and can cause serious problems for Inter Miami if given space.

Prediction: Close Match with Goals Expected

If this game were being played in Nashville, they might be slight favorites. But with the match set in Fort Lauderdale, Inter Miami should have the edge — at least enough to secure a point.

Given the current form of Messi and Surridge, and both teams' attacking styles, a high-scoring draw seems like the most likely outcome.

This is more than just another MLS match — it's a showdown between two clubs with playoff ambitions and two goal-scoring machines at the peak of their powers. Will Messi continue his record-breaking form, or will Surridge steal the spotlight?

Stay tuned for one of the most anticipated games of the weekend.

My Chemical Romance to Rock Jakarta in 2026 with a Full Nostalgic Concert as Headliner of Hammersonic Festival

My Chemical Romance to Rock Jakarta in 2026 with a Full Nostalgic Concert as Headliner of Hammersonic Festival

My Chemical Romance to Rock Jakarta in 2026 with a Full Nostalgic Concert as Headliner of Hammersonic Festival.

After nearly two decades since their last performance in Jakarta, iconic American rock band My Chemical Romance (MCR) is set to make a powerful return to Indonesia in 2026. This exciting news has thrilled fans, especially those who grew up during the peak of the emo and pop-punk era in the early 2000s.

This highly anticipated concert is not just another show. My Chemical Romance will headline the Hammersonic Festival 2026, Southeast Asia’s biggest rock and metal music event. Even more special, MCR’s appearance marks the 10th anniversary celebration of the Hammersonic Festival.

First Time Back in Jakarta After 18 Years

The last time My Chemical Romance performed in Jakarta was on January 31, 2008, during The Black Parade World Tour. Now, 18 years later, the band—consisting of Gerard Way (vocals), Ray Toro (guitar), Frank Iero (guitar), and Mikey Way (bass)—will reconnect with their Indonesian fans.

The concert is scheduled for May 3, 2026, as part of their Southeast Asia tour titled My Chemical Romance: South East Asia 2026. Other stops on this tour include Bangkok (April 22, 2026), Manila (April 25, 2026), and Singapore (April 28, 2026). Jakarta is set to be the final stop of this tour leg in the region.

Ticket Sales for MCR Jakarta 2026 Open Soon

Mark your calendars: ticket sales for the My Chemical Romance concert in Jakarta will open on Wednesday, July 9, 2025 at 1 PM (WIB). Tickets will be available exclusively through the official website hammersonic.com.

As of now, details such as ticket prices, categories, venue layout, and exact concert location have not been announced. However, the event organizer, Ravel Entertainment, confirmed that this will be a full-length performance with the complete setlist, just like a standalone concert.

"Don’t worry—even though this is part of the festival, MCR will still perform as the main headliner with a full setlist and full performance duration," the official Hammersonic account stated in response to fan questions on social media.

A Night of Nostalgia with Legendary MCR Songs

There’s no denying that My Chemical Romance has delivered countless anthems for a generation, especially during the 2000s. Some of the most emotional and powerful songs that could be performed during their Jakarta concert include:

• Welcome to the Black Parade (2006) – an iconic anthem of the emo era

• Helena (2004) – a heartfelt track about loss and grief

• Teenagers (2006) – a catchy and socially charged tune

• I’m Not Okay (I Promise) (2004) – a classic teen heartbreak song

• Disenchanted (2006) – a slow, introspective ballad

Throughout 2025, MCR is set to embark on a special tour in the United States to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their most iconic album, The Black Parade. That tour features the entire album played live—raising fans’ expectations for a similar experience in Jakarta.

My Chemical Romance as an Emo Rock Icon of the 2000s

Formed in 2001 in Newark, New Jersey, My Chemical Romance emerged during the rise of emo and pop punk. Known for their dark aesthetics, emotional lyrics, and theatrical performances, they quickly stood out from other bands of the era.

MCR was more than just a band with sad songs. They became a symbol of rebellion, escapism, and self-expression for a generation that felt misunderstood. It’s no surprise they resonated deeply with fans who needed a voice.

Although they disbanded in 2013 and reformed in 2019, the love for MCR never faded. Every new announcement—from reunions to tour dates—is met with overwhelming excitement. Now, it’s Indonesia’s turn to feel that energy once again.

Hammersonic Festival 2026 Promises to Be More Special Than Ever

Hammersonic Festival has become a cornerstone event for rock and metal lovers in Indonesia. Since its inception, the festival has hosted major international acts. The 2026 edition marks a milestone—its 10th anniversary.

With My Chemical Romance as the main headliner, the festival is bound to attract thousands of alternative music fans from across Southeast Asia. While the full lineup is yet to be revealed, expectations are high for more big names and unforgettable performances.

High Demand Expected and How to Secure Your Ticket

Given MCR’s huge fanbase in Indonesia, it’s likely that tickets will sell out quickly. To ensure you don’t miss out, here are a few helpful tips:

1. Bookmark hammersonic.com and visit it regularly

2. Create an account and prepare your personal info early

3. Make sure your internet connection is stable on ticket day

4. Decide your preferred ticket category ahead of time

5. Join MCR fan communities for updates and early info

Will MCR Add More Cities in Asia?

Although Jakarta is currently the last stop in their Southeast Asia tour, there’s a possibility that MCR could announce additional dates in other Asian cities. With a gap between the Asian and European legs of their tour, fans speculate that cities like Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, or even other Indonesian cities like Bali or Surabaya might be added.

Until an official announcement is made, Jakarta remains the only confirmed location for My Chemical Romance in Indonesia in 2026.

The return of My Chemical Romance to Jakarta after nearly 20 years is more than just a concert. It’s a celebration of memories, music, and the powerful connection between a band and its loyal fans.

If you’re someone who grew up listening to MCR’s emotionally charged lyrics and energetic riffs, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event you can’t miss. Be ready to secure your tickets on July 9, 2025, and prepare for a night that will stay with you forever.

Beware of Gacor Slot Links Online Scams That Can Lead to Addiction and Financial Loss

Beware of Gacor Slot Links Online Scams That Can Lead to Addiction and Financial Loss

Beware of Gacor Slot Links Online Scams That Can Lead to Addiction and Financial Loss.

In today's digital era, the internet can be both informative and dangerous. One of the biggest traps, especially targeting young people, is the circulation of so-called "gacor links" in online slot gambling. Many believe these links offer big wins, but in reality, they’re just scams disguised as golden opportunities.

What exactly are gacor links in online slots? Why are so many people falling for them? And why are netizens calling it "a scam"? This article will uncover the truth behind gacor links and provide education to help others avoid becoming victims.

What Is a Gacor Slot Link?

Gacor links are commonly used terms in the online gambling world, especially for slots. "Gacor" is an Indonesian slang term meaning “easy to win.” These links supposedly lead players to slot sites with higher winning potential.

However, the reality is that gacor links in online slot gambling are scams. No system can guarantee wins in online gambling, as all outcomes are controlled by algorithms designed to benefit the house. Even occasional wins are part of a manipulative strategy to lure in more players.

Do Not Click Gacor Links – It's a Trap

Ads for gacor links often appear on social media and messaging apps, offering a shortcut to “easy money.” But clicking those links exposes users to illegal sites, data theft, and scam operations masked as jackpots.

Several users have reported that after clicking these links, they lost their money instantly, had their banking data leaked, and even suffered mental health issues due to online slot addiction caused by gacor links. This is why it’s critical to stay alert and avoid these traps.

Netizens Say: "It’s a Scam!"

Across social platforms, more users are speaking out against online gambling, especially slot games. Comments like “That’s a scam” or “Don’t play slots, it’s a waste of time and money” are becoming more common.

People are realizing that these systems are built to make users addicted. After a small win, they are tempted to keep playing. But the chance of a big win is just an illusion. The house always wins.

How Online Slots Really Work: Win Once, Lose Often

To understand why gacor links are a lie, it's important to know how slot machines operate. Online slots use a Random Number Generator (RNG) system that determines outcomes randomly. There’s no pattern, no guaranteed strategy, and no special link that increases your chances.

So when someone promotes a link as “gacor,” they are simply trying to deceive you. They're taking advantage of people’s desire to get rich quick. But what really happens is loss—of money, time, and even dignity.

The Hidden Dangers of Online Slot Gambling

Here are some of the most common consequences for online slot players:

1. Quick Financial Loss: Many have lost millions of rupiah after being lured by gacor links.

2. Severe Addiction: Slot games are highly addictive. Once you start, it's hard to stop.

3. Mental and Social Damage: Players often experience anxiety, shame, and social isolation.

4. Increased Risk of Crime: Some become so desperate to continue gambling that they steal or commit fraud.

How to Stop Playing Slots Due to Gacor Links

If you or someone close to you is caught in this gambling trap, don’t panic. Here are some effective ways to escape:

1. Acknowledge the Harm
   Admit that this is an addiction that's destroying your life. Awareness is the first key step.

2. Cut Off Internet Access Temporarily
   Deactivate gambling accounts, change your SIM card, delete all gambling-related apps.

3. Talk to Someone You Trust
   Don’t be afraid of judgment. Talk to family or friends for support.

4. Seek Counseling or Digital Rehab
   Many organizations now offer counseling for online gambling victims. You’re not alone.

5. Refocus Your Life
   Start a hobby, small business, or join social activities to shift your focus from gambling.

Education Is the Key: Let’s Stop Gacor Links Together

One reason why these links are still circulating is due to lack of public awareness. Many people still don’t understand that gacor links in slot gambling are scams. That’s why we must spread the truth.

If you see someone sharing a slot link, speak up. Tell them: don’t play slots, it’s not a real financial solution, but a road to financial and mental ruin.

Don’t Get Fooled by the Promise of Quick Wins

There is no shortcut to wealth. It takes time, effort, and the courage to live honestly. Don’t fall for the lie that gacor links can help you win big. They’re nothing but deceptive traps leading to real-life suffering.

Remember this:
Gacor links in online slot gambling are scams. Don’t play slots. Don’t click gacor links. If you’re already stuck, find ways to stop playing slots caused by gacor links before it’s too late.

The Inspiring Story of Rayyan Arkan Dikha the Young Dancer Who Went Viral for His Performance at the Traditional Pacu Jalur Festival in Kuantan Singingi Riau

The Inspiring Story of Rayyan Arkan Dikha the Young Dancer Who Went Viral for His Performance at the Traditional Pacu Jalur Festival in Kuantan Singingi Riau

The Inspiring Story of Rayyan Arkan Dikha the Young Dancer Who Went Viral for His Performance at the Traditional Pacu Jalur Festival in Kuantan Singingi Riau.

Recently, social media has been buzzing with the joyful and energetic dance of a young boy performing on a long traditional canoe during the famous pacu jalur festival in Kuantan Singingi, Riau, Indonesia. That boy is Rayyan Arkan Dikha, affectionately known as Dikha. With his fluid movements and contagious enthusiasm, Dikha captured the hearts of netizens not just in Indonesia but around the world.

His spontaneous dance on the bow of the canoe — locally known as a "jalur" — gained viral fame. Remarkably, top football players from elite clubs like Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and AC Milan, as well as Indonesian celebrities including Luna Maya, have recreated his iconic moves, praising his natural charisma and energy.

From a Small Village in Riau to Global Social Media Fame

Dikha is not a trained dancer. He is just an ordinary boy living in Pintu Gobang Village, Kari District, Kuantan Singingi Regency, Riau. Yet, from this modest background, he has emerged as a source of inspiration and admiration across digital platforms.

Currently a fifth-grade student at SD 013 Pintu Gobang, Dikha was born on December 28, 2014, and is now only 11 years old. Despite his young age, he exudes remarkable confidence and isn't afraid to express himself in front of large crowds.

His mother, Rani Ridawati, expressed her surprise and pride when her son's dance video went viral. “We’re so happy and proud. We never expected this,” she said with emotion.

Three Years of Dancing at the Pacu Jalur Festival

Dikha's dance debut didn't happen overnight. He has been performing on the bow of the canoe during the pacu jalur festival for the past three years. He frequently trains with his village’s race team, known as Tuah Koghi Dubalang Ghajo, the same team his father once raced with.

Each week, Dikha practices about three times, especially as race season approaches. His training involves more than just paddling — it includes maintaining balance and refining his signature dance at the front of the canoe, a role known locally as the ujung jalur or tip dancer.

Interestingly, Dikha never had formal dance lessons. “He doesn’t dance professionally. It’s all spontaneous. He learned by observing and participating at the pacu jalur,” his mother explained.

Talent Passed Down Through Generations

This natural talent seems to be inherited. His father, Jufriono (40), was also a seasoned pacu jalur athlete. In fact, he raced on the same canoe, Tuah Koghi Dubalang Ghajo, that Dikha now dances on.

His family has a long history of involvement in pacu jalur. “His father was a racer, and his uncles were too. It runs in the family,” said Rani.

Given this strong cultural and familial background, it’s no surprise that Dikha has a deep connection to the tradition. Many believe that he may one day follow in his father’s footsteps as a top racer.

Understanding the Pacu Jalur Tradition in Riau

For those unfamiliar, pacu jalur is a traditional canoe race held in Kuantan Singingi, Riau. These races are usually organized during significant national celebrations such as Indonesia’s Independence Day or other major cultural festivals.

Each canoe, or "jalur," holds dozens of paddlers. At the front, a child dancer performs energetic moves, motivating the team and symbolizing their spirit. This dancer is called the anak joki or front performer.

The role isn’t just decorative — the dancer energizes the crew and serves as the face of the team’s determination.

From Cultural Heritage to Viral Sensation

Dikha’s viral fame is a powerful example of how local culture can thrive in the digital age. A small but heartfelt performance can touch millions, making traditional arts visible and appreciated globally.

Social media users have widely praised his performance, citing his positive energy, cultural uniqueness, and authentic talent. Many content creators have recreated his dance as a tribute to Indonesia’s rich heritage.

A Role Model for Indonesian Children

Dikha’s story offers valuable lessons to children across Indonesia. It proves that one doesn’t need to be famous or grown up to make a meaningful impact. Genuine passion and courage can inspire many, even from the smallest village.

For parents, this story highlights the importance of nurturing their children's interests, no matter how small they seem. In Dikha’s case, family and community support played a big role in building his confidence.

Looking Toward the Future

With his passion and talent, many hope that Dikha will continue to grow — whether as a dancer, a racer, or in any other field he chooses. Some even urge local governments and cultural institutions to support gifted children like Dikha so their talents don’t fade away.

His mother humbly adds that her main wish is for Dikha to stay kind and happy. “We just want him to be a good person and do what makes him happy,” she shared.

Celebrating Culture Youth and Future Aspirations Through a Viral Dance from a Canoe

Rayyan Arkan Dikha’s unexpected rise to fame is more than a viral moment. It’s a symbol of living tradition, the power of self-expression, and the hopeful energy of Indonesia’s younger generation.

May his journey inspire more children to embrace their culture and be proud of their roots. And may more stories like his shine from the remote corners of the archipelago to the global stage.

Lost Pirate Treasure Found: 300-Year-Old Shipwreck and 3,300 Artifacts Discovered Off Madagascar Coast

In a stunning breakthrough, American archaeologists have uncovered the remains of a centuries-old sailing ship off the coast of Madagascar. The wreck, identified as the Nossa Senhora do Cabo, dates back to 1721 and is believed to have been captured and sunk by infamous pirate captain Olivier Levasseur, also known as La Buse.

The shipwreck was found in the shallow waters near Nosy Boraha Island in the Indian Ocean. During the early 18th century, this small harbor was a known hideout during the so-called Golden Age of Piracy.

Shipwreck Identified After 16 Years of Research

Although the wreckage was initially discovered over 16 years ago, researchers only recently confirmed its identity. Brandon Clifford, co-founder of the Center for Historical Shipwreck Preservation, stated that the identification was supported by several lines of evidence, including ship design analysis, historical records, and artifacts recovered from the site.

Over 3,300 Historical Artifacts Recovered

The underwater excavation revealed more than 3,300 artifacts—many of which offer insight into global trade and religion during the colonial era. Among the recovered items were:

• Gold coins with Arabic inscriptions

• Fragments of fine porcelain

• Wooden and ivory religious statues

• A depiction of the Virgin Mary and a crucifix fragment

• An ivory plaque with the gold inscription “INRI”

Experts believe many of these items were crafted in Goa, India, and were originally bound for Lisbon, Portugal.

Because the artifacts spent centuries underwater, the restoration process has been extremely delicate, and many items have yet to be fully identified.

A Ship Doomed by Nature and Pirates

Historical accounts reveal that the Nossa Senhora do Cabo set sail in early 1721, carrying valuable cargo along with the Portuguese viceroy and an archbishop. On April 8 of that year, the vessel was attacked by pirates near the French island of Réunion.

The ship had already been damaged by a powerful storm, and its crew had thrown overboard many of the cannons to stay afloat—making it an easy target for pirate raiders.

The treasure on board reportedly included gold bars and chests full of pearls. According to modern estimates, the value of the loot could exceed 138 million US dollars, or around 2.2 trillion rupiah.

While the viceroy was later ransomed, the fate of the archbishop and the rest of the crew remains unknown.

For history buffs, adventurers, and curious minds alike, the Nossa Senhora do Cabo shipwreck is a thrilling reminder that the ocean still guards many secrets—some worth billions, others simply priceless.

iPhone 17 Pro Max Will Feature a Massive 5,000mAh Battery, The Largest Ever on an iPhone.

Apple seems ready to break its own record once again. According to recent leaks, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to come with a massive 5,000mAh battery, making it the largest battery ever used in an iPhone. This upgrade promises longer battery life and better performance for users who rely heavily on their devices throughout the day.

Big Battery Means Better Battery Life

The information comes from a well-known leaker, Instant Digital, who claims that the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max will be able to last up to 35 hours on a single charge, or even more under certain conditions. This significant improvement is reportedly made possible by two key upgrades:

• The new A19 Pro chip, which improves power efficiency

• The Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 modem, known for reducing power consumption

Together, these components are expected to extend usage time dramatically—ideal for people who work, stream, or play on their phones all day.

iPhone Battery Capacity Comparison Over the Years

To give you some perspective, here is how the battery capacity and usage time of recent iPhone models compare:

iPhone Model	Battery Capacity	Estimated Usage Time
iPhone 12 Pro Max	3,687mAh	Up to 20 hours
iPhone 13 Pro Max	4,352mAh	Up to 28 hours
iPhone 14 Pro Max	4,323mAh	Up to 29 hours
iPhone 15 Pro Max	4,422mAh	Up to 29 hours
iPhone 16 Pro Max	4,676mAh	Up to 33 hours
iPhone 17 Pro Max	5,000mAh	35 hours or more

As you can see, Apple has been steadily increasing battery size with each generation, but the jump to 5,000mAh for the iPhone 17 Pro Max is the biggest yet.

Can We Trust This Leak?

Although Instant Digital has a mixed track record, many of their past predictions have turned out to be surprisingly accurate. Some of their confirmed leaks include:

• The release of the yellow iPhone 14 in 2023

• Matte glass backs on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus

• Minor changes on Apple Watch Series 9

• Spatial video support on the iPhone 15 Pro

So, while it's still a leak, this information is worth paying attention to.

When Will the iPhone 17 Pro Max Be Released?

If Apple sticks to its usual release cycle, the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to launch in September 2025. That gives fans plenty of time to prepare and decide whether this next-gen model is worth the upgrade.

With a groundbreaking 5,000mAh battery, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is shaping up to be the most powerful and long-lasting iPhone ever made. For heavy users, travelers, content creators, or anyone who simply hates charging all the time, this could be the best iPhone yet.
