Samsung to Unveil Groundbreaking Triple-Folding Smartphone Alongside Ultra-Slim Galaxy Z Fold 7 at Galaxy Unpacked 2025

Samsung to Unveil Groundbreaking Triple-Folding Smartphone Alongside Ultra-Slim Galaxy Z Fold 7 at Galaxy Unpacked 2025.

Samsung is gearing up for one of its most exciting product launches yet. According to reliable insider Setsuna Digital, the tech giant will introduce its first-ever triple-folding smartphone, rumored to be called Galaxy G Fold, during the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9, 2025. The highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will also debut at the same event, but unlike those models, the G Fold will hit the shelves later in October.

The concept of a triple-fold device has been circulating for a while, but this is the first time we’re seeing concrete signs of its arrival. What makes this gadget a potential game-changer isn’t just its folding mechanism, but how it blends the tablet and smartphone experience into one sleek package.

Triple the Fold, Triple the Innovation

Unlike the traditional single-fold smartphones, the rumored Galaxy G Fold will feature two internal hinges, allowing the device to fold inwards from both sides. Fully unfolded, the display is expected to measure 9.96 inches, slightly smaller than the 10.2-inch display found in Huawei’s triple-fold rival.

This innovative form factor doesn’t just scream futuristic design—it also provides better screen protection by enclosing the foldable panel entirely when closed. And there’s more: leaks hint at S Pen support and even a dedicated stylus slot, suggesting Samsung wants to create a device that feels like a proper hybrid between a phone, tablet, and digital notebook.

A Big Leap, but a Small Charger?

While the design might turn heads, some specs could raise eyebrows. The Galaxy G Fold is rumored to support just 25W wired charging, which is a big step down compared to Huawei’s Mate XT (66W) or even Samsung’s own mid-tier phones. Still, Samsung may compensate with battery optimization or new power-saving features.

Premium Design, Premium Price

Early reports suggest the Galaxy G Fold will be released exclusively in China and South Korea at first, with no confirmation yet for a global rollout. As for the price, experts estimate it will cost between $3,000 and $3,500, putting it firmly in the ultra-premium category.

This pricing aligns with the cutting-edge technology and niche appeal of the device, likely targeting tech enthusiasts, creators, and early adopters who are always on the hunt for the next big thing in mobile innovation.

Galaxy Z Fold 7: Slimmer Than Ever

Meanwhile, Samsung has already started teasing the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which may steal the spotlight for being the slimmest foldable phone to date. In a promotional email sent to customers, Samsung quoted YouTuber Parker Burton, who reportedly tested the device: “It’s insanely thin. When you fold it, it feels like a regular phone.”

This aligns with ongoing efforts by Samsung to make foldables more mainstream, and part of that strategy clearly involves making them lighter, thinner, and more pocket-friendly.

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event could mark a major turning point for foldable tech. With the introduction of a triple-fold smartphone and an ultra-slim Galaxy Z Fold 7, the company is pushing boundaries in both design and functionality. While the G Fold may not be for everyone—especially given its price tag and limited availability—it signals a bold future where phones can do more, fold more, and replace more devices in our lives.

France Unveils VORTEX Reusable Spaceplane Concept at Paris Air Show: A Bold Step Toward the Future of Space Transportation

France Unveils VORTEX Reusable Spaceplane Concept at Paris Air Show: A Bold Step Toward the Future of Space Transportation

France Unveils VORTEX Reusable Spaceplane Concept at Paris Air Show: A Bold Step Toward the Future of Space Transportation.

The future of space travel may not be as far away as we think. At the recent Paris Air Show, French aerospace company Dassault Aviation introduced a groundbreaking concept called VORTEX—short for Véhicule Orbital Réutilisable de Transport et d’Exploration, or in English, Reusable Orbital Vehicle for Transport and Exploration.

VORTEX is designed as a reusable spaceplane that can carry both cargo and passengers between Earth and space. This innovation reflects a return to shuttle-like spacecraft, updated with modern technology and engineering. While it echoes the capsule-style vehicles from the Cold War space race, it brings a fresh vision tailored for the 21st century.

Modern Technology Meets Classic Design

The VORTEX concept blends proven aerospace design with cutting-edge innovation. Dassault Aviation, the company behind the project, has decades of experience in spaceplane development. Back in the 1970s and 80s, Dassault played a key role in France’s Hermes spaceplane project and also participated in various NASA initiatives.

Now, the company is eyeing close cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA) to bring the VORTEX project to life. The goal is not just to launch a new spacecraft but to create a reliable, multi-mission transport system that can serve science, industry, and even future space tourism.

A Four-Stage Development Plan

The VORTEX project will unfold in four key stages, starting with scaled-down prototypes and building up to full-scale operational vehicles:

1. VORTEX-D (Demonstrator):
   A 4-meter-long test model with a wingspan of 2.5 meters (roughly one-third of the final size). It will be used to study hypersonic atmospheric reentry configurations.

2. VORTEX-S (Smart Free Flyer):
   A two-thirds scale version designed to test autonomous flight capabilities and dynamic maneuvering both in orbit and in reentry.

3. Full-Scale Cargo Spaceplane:
   A 12-meter-long vehicle with a wingspan of 7 meters, designed primarily for transporting equipment and scientific payloads.

4. Full-Scale Passenger Spaceplane:
   A version adapted for human transportation, designed with safety, comfort, and operational efficiency in mind.

Key Features and Capabilities of the VORTEX Spaceplane

• Launched via rocket without a protective fairing

• Fully maneuverable in both orbit and Earth’s atmosphere

• Lands on conventional runways like an aircraft

• Reusable for multiple missions

• Large payload bay for various mission types, including satellite servicing and orbital logistics

One of the most appealing aspects of VORTEX is its versatility. It's designed to be more than just a transport vessel. It can serve as an autonomous orbital platform, a maintenance unit for satellites, or even a stepping-stone for future space habitats.

How VORTEX Compares to Other Spaceplane Projects Like Dream Chaser

The reusable spaceplane idea isn’t unique to France. In the United States, Sierra Space is working on its own version called Dream Chaser—a winged spacecraft designed to deliver cargo (and later passengers) to the International Space Station (ISS). Like VORTEX, Dream Chaser launches atop a rocket and glides back to Earth on a runway.

However, Dream Chaser’s maiden launch has been delayed twice. Sierra Space still aims to fly it by the end of 2025. The global space community is watching closely to see which project crosses the finish line first.

A New Era in Spaceflight Is Taking Shape

The unveiling of the VORTEX concept signals a major push by Europe to establish independent, reusable access to space. With nations and private companies racing to develop next-gen spacecraft, we could soon witness a revolution in how humans and materials move between Earth and orbit.

France’s VORTEX project is not just a technological milestone—it’s a vision of what space transportation could become: flexible, sustainable, and within reach for more than just astronauts.

Stay tuned as the aerospace world continues to shift, and be sure to follow the latest on VORTEX, Dream Chaser, and the exciting race to dominate the future of orbital travel.

Marc Marquez Equals Agostini’s MotoGP Record at Assen, Earns Praise from Gigi Dall’Igna

Marc Marquez Equals Agostini’s MotoGP Record at Assen, Earns Praise from Gigi Dall’Igna

Marc Marquez Equals Agostini’s MotoGP Record at Assen, Earns Praise from Gigi Dall’Igna.

Marc Marquez matched Giacomo Agostini’s record with his 68th MotoGP premier class win at the Dutch TT. Ducati’s Gigi Dall’Igna calls him a true racing legend.

Marc Marquez has once again carved his name into the MotoGP history books. The Spanish rider claimed his 68th premier class grand prix victory last Sunday at Assen, equalling the legendary Giacomo Agostini’s record—a milestone that speaks volumes about his elite status in the sport.

Despite suffering two hard crashes on Friday, Marquez bounced back in sensational form, dominating both the Sprint and the main race. It was his third consecutive double win of the season, solidifying his reign since finishing third at Silverstone in May.

Ducati’s general manager, Gigi Dall’Igna, was full of admiration.

“In the 10th round of the 2025 MotoGP, Marc gets his sixth win of the season, equalling Agostini’s total of 68. And he did it on a track he hasn’t won at since 2018.”

Dall’Igna emphasized how Assen, like Mugello before, isn’t among Marquez’s strongest circuits. But when Marquez decides to lead, Dall’Igna said, he does so with dominance and determination.

“He’s sealing Sprint-GP doubles for the third straight weekend, making it nine Sprint wins so far. These are extraordinary results for a rider who continues to make history with the hunger and spirit of a rookie,” Dall’Igna said.

Even though he wasn’t at 100% physically, Marquez's performance was clinical.

“Despite the crashes on Friday, he still managed to weave his lethal web, leaving his rivals no chance.”

Dall’Igna also gave a nod to Francesco Bagnaia, who started second—his best qualifying of the year—and finished third in the race.

“Pecco’s race was one of his most intense this year. He nearly grabbed pole position and showed great pace with the fastest lap during the race.”

He praised Bagnaia’s overtaking on Pedro Acosta and emphasized the need to keep pushing forward as a team.

Finally, Dall’Igna offered well-wishes to Alex Marquez, who crashed with Acosta and suffered a fractured metacarpal but still holds second place in the championship standings.

“Best wishes to Alex for a quick recovery. He’s a fighter who never holds back,” he said.

Aprilia Make Contact with Enea Bastianini Amid Tense Contract Drama with Jorge Martin

Aprilia Make Contact with Enea Bastianini Amid Tense Contract Drama with Jorge Martin

Aprilia Make Contact with Enea Bastianini Amid Tense Contract Drama with Jorge Martin.

Aprilia have reportedly reached out to Enea Bastianini as a backup plan, in case their star rider Jorge Martin leaves the team for the 2026 MotoGP season.

Despite currently having Martin under contract through 2026, tension has escalated over a disputed clause that may allow him to leave earlier. Aprilia remain keen to keep him, but according to Sky Italia, they’re not taking any chances and have already made initial contact with Bastianini.

Plan B in Motion?

Sky Italia reports that while no concrete deal has been struck, Bastianini is on the radar should Martin exit. Pramac Yamaha are also said to be keeping a close eye on the Italian rider’s situation.

Martin’s manager recently claimed his rider is available for transfer in 2026, citing a contractual clause. But this statement was swiftly denied by Aprilia. CEO Massimo Rivola has even suggested that legal action may be taken if the dispute escalates.

Bastianini Struggling to Shine at KTM

Enea Bastianini lost his factory Ducati seat to Marc Marquez and joined the Tech3 KTM team this season. However, the switch hasn’t paid off as expected. His best finish so far was P7 at the Circuit of the Americas, and he currently trails behind his teammate Maverick Vinales as well as KTM factory riders Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder.

Despite the underwhelming results, an opportunity to return to a leading Italian team like Aprilia might just reignite Bastianini’s career.

Will Martin Stay or Go?

With Jorge Martin currently sidelined due to injury, Aprilia tasted victory at the British Grand Prix through Marco Bezzecchi. Martin is set to miss the next round at Sachsenring, but Aprilia hope to see him return at Brno, right before the summer break.

The big question remains: will Aprilia be able to keep Martin, or will they turn to Bastianini to lead their factory team in 2026?

Yamaha Urged to Sign New Riders to Solve MotoGP Depth Crisis

Yamaha Urged to Sign New Riders to Solve MotoGP Depth Crisis

Yamaha Urged to Sign New Riders to Solve MotoGP Depth Crisis.

Yamaha's MotoGP factory team has been urged to make new rider signings to address a long-standing issue—lack of team depth. Despite having star rider Fabio Quartararo, currently the highest-paid on the grid, the team struggles to find competitive support for him on track.

MotoGP analyst Lewis Duncan shared on the Crash MotoGP podcast that Yamaha’s biggest challenge is not machinery, but the lack of fast teammates. “The rest of the Yamaha lineup isn’t strong enough. Alex Rins hasn’t been quick, Jack Miller hasn’t performed since the start of the season, and Miguel Oliveira, even accounting for injuries, has lost his edge,” Duncan explained.

The problem becomes evident when comparing to Ducati, who currently fields four riders in the top five of the standings. KTM has strong depth with Vinales and rookie Pedro Acosta. Aprilia was supposed to field Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi. In contrast, Yamaha only has Quartararo fighting at the front, alone.

This solo effort isn't sustainable. As Duncan pointed out, a second rider can provide essential race support — battling rivals, covering strategy gaps, and capitalizing on any slip-ups from the leader.

Yamaha is already investing heavily. Quartararo is signed until the end of 2026, and they have secured Toprak Razgatlioglu for their new Pramac satellite team in 2025. But the second rider in that team remains uncertain.

“If Fabio stays, it’ll likely be on an even higher salary. That leaves less budget for securing a strong second rider,” Duncan added. “It’s a Catch-22. But if they don’t fix the depth, they’ll face even more problems.”

This isn't a new issue for Yamaha. Even during the Valentino Rossi era, prior to Jorge Lorenzo’s rise, the team lacked supporting firepower. The last time Yamaha had a balanced squad was back in 2019 with Rossi, Fabio, and a peak-form Morbidelli.

Now, with Rins' performance in question and no clear name beside Razgatlioglu, Yamaha must act fast. Fabio can’t keep fighting alone — and in modern MotoGP, teamwork wins championships.

Central Sulawesi Police Destroys 40 Kilograms of Methamphetamine as Part of Major Drug Crackdown Effort in Palu

Central Sulawesi Police Destroys 40 Kilograms of Methamphetamine as Part of Major Drug Crackdown Effort in Palu

Central Sulawesi Police Destroys 40 Kilograms of Methamphetamine as Part of Major Drug Crackdown Effort in Palu.

Palu, June 30, 2025 – In a significant move to combat illegal drug trafficking in Indonesia, the Central Sulawesi Regional Police (Polda Sulteng) destroyed approximately 40 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine (meth) at their headquarters on Jalan Soekarno Hatta, Palu. 

The operation was led by Central Sulawesi Police Chief Inspector General Dr. Agus Nugroho, with support from various government and law enforcement agencies.

Methamphetamine Seized from Three Locations in Palu and Donggala

The 40 kilograms of methamphetamine were confiscated from three main locations:

• Besusu, Palu City

• Watusampu

• Kabonga, Donggala District

According to the police chief, the operation resulted in the arrest of four suspects, identified by their initials as M, AM, RO, and FA. All four individuals were allegedly in direct contact with a Malaysian drug dealer based in Tawau, known by the initials AS.

Their method involved picking up meth shipments at local seaports or coastal areas, then storing and distributing the drugs across Central Sulawesi.

Over Two Hundred Thousand Lives Potentially Saved

Inspector General Agus Nugroho highlighted the gravity of the seizure, stating that the confiscated 40 kg of meth could have endangered an estimated 202,061 lives if circulated on the streets.

“This successful seizure would not have been possible without strong collaboration between our narcotics division and the support of the local community,” said the police chief.

Drug Seizure Statistics in Central Sulawesi

A year-to-year comparison reveals a slight decrease in drug seizures:

• First Half of 2024: 55.6 kg of meth confiscated, 450 suspects arrested

• First Half of 2025: 48.6 kg of meth confiscated, 447 suspects arrested

Although the volume is lower this year, the high numbers reflect that drug trafficking remains a critical concern in the region.

Harsh Legal Consequences for Drug Offenders

The arrested individuals will be charged under Article 112 Paragraph (1) and Article 114 Paragraph (1) of Indonesia’s Narcotics Law No. 35 of 2009, which carries severe penalties:

• Minimum prison sentence of 4 years, up to 20 years

• Fines ranging from IDR 1 billion to IDR 10 billion (approximately 63,000 to 630,000 USD)

Community Involvement Key to Success

Inspector General Nugroho emphasized the importance of public involvement, stating, “Drug abuse is our common enemy. We must work together to protect our youth and secure the future of our nation from the dangers of narcotics.”

The destruction of the methamphetamine evidence was attended by high-ranking government officials, including:

• Governor of Central Sulawesi Dr. Anwar Hafid

• Chief Prosecutor of Central Sulawesi

• Head of the Central Sulawesi National Narcotics Agency (BNN)

• Chief Judge of Central Sulawesi High Court

• Head of Palu Food and Drug Monitoring Agency

• Head of Customs and Excise of Pantoloan Palu

• Community leaders and senior police officials

The destruction of 40 kilograms of meth by the Central Sulawesi Police underscores Indonesia’s continued efforts in fighting drug crimes. With strong enforcement and active community participation, the region moves one step closer toward becoming drug-free and safer for future generations.

Government Exposes Massive Rice Fraud in Indonesia: Potential State Losses Could Reach IDR 101 Trillion Per Year Due to Subsidized and Commercial Rice Manipulation

Government Exposes Massive Rice Fraud in Indonesia: Potential State Losses Could Reach IDR 101 Trillion Per Year Due to Subsidized and Commercial Rice Manipulation

Government Exposes Massive Rice Fraud in Indonesia: Potential State Losses Could Reach IDR 101 Trillion Per Year Due to Subsidized and Commercial Rice Manipulation.

The Indonesian government has officially revealed a major scandal involving alleged fraud in the distribution of both commercial and subsidized rice. According to Minister of Agriculture Andi Amran Sulaiman, the country could suffer state losses of up to IDR 101.35 trillion annually if these manipulative practices are not stopped.

This revelation follows a coordinated investigation by the Ministry of Agriculture, the Food Task Force, the Attorney General’s Office, and the National Food Agency. The manipulation reportedly involves both premium and medium-quality commercial rice, as well as subsidized SPHP (Stabilization of Supply and Food Prices) rice that has been secretly repackaged and sold as premium rice.

Commercial Rice Fraud Causes Estimated IDR 99.35 Trillion Loss per Year

Data gathered by the Ministry of Agriculture shows that irregularities in commercial rice sales could lead to IDR 99.35 trillion in state losses per year. This fraud includes violations of rice quality standards, mislabeling of packaging weight, and prices exceeding the government’s retail price ceiling.

"If this continues over the next ten years, losses could reach almost IDR 1,000 trillion. We must act decisively," stated Minister Amran.

Most Rice Brands on the Market Do Not Meet Standards

The investigation collected 268 rice samples from ten provinces across Indonesia, including major markets in Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and South Sulawesi. Findings from lab tests are deeply concerning:

• Premium rice:

  • 85.56 percent did not meet quality regulations

  • 59.78 percent were sold above the government’s maximum retail price

  • 21.66 percent had inaccurate packaging weight

• Medium rice:

  • 88.24 percent failed to meet quality standards

  • 95.12 percent exceeded the price cap

  • 9.38 percent had incorrect packaging weight

Subsidized Rice Fraud Adds Another IDR 2 Trillion in Annual Losses

The fraud involving SPHP subsidized rice is just as alarming. Investigators found that up to 80 percent of subsidized rice was repackaged and resold as premium rice to gain higher profits, while only 20 percent was sold according to government regulations.

The government provides a rice subsidy of approximately IDR 1,500 to IDR 2,000 per kilogram, intended to help lower-income consumers. However, much of this rice is redirected into illegal distribution channels.

This manipulation is believed to affect 1 million tons of rice annually, resulting in an additional IDR 2 trillion in losses per year.

212 Rice Producers Under Investigation by Police Task Force

In response, the National Food Task Force and Indonesian Police have started summoning 212 rice brand producers whose products were found to violate current food regulations. The Ministry of Agriculture has formally submitted written reports to the Chief of Police and the Attorney General, urging firm legal action.

Laboratory verification across 13 labs in 10 provinces was used to ensure accurate testing and traceability of rice samples.

Why This Rice Fraud Case Affects All Indonesians

This is not just about financial losses to the state. The biggest victims are ordinary consumers, especially those from low-income groups who rely on government-subsidized rice. Fraud like this raises food prices and undermines food security.

By uncovering this scandal, the government is sending a strong message that food fraud will no longer be tolerated.

Strengthening Indonesia’s Food Governance is Urgent

The exposure of this large-scale rice fraud highlights serious weaknesses in food regulation and enforcement. With over IDR 101 trillion in potential annual losses, immediate action is crucial to restore public trust and ensure affordable, high-quality rice reaches Indonesian families.

This case serves as a wake-up call for stricter monitoring, improved supply chain transparency, and harsher penalties for food-related corruption in Indonesia.

Bryan Mbeumo Wants Manchester United Transfer but Brentford Not Ready to Approve Departure Yet

Bryan Mbeumo Wants Manchester United Transfer but Brentford Not Ready to Approve Departure Yet

Bryan Mbeumo Wants Manchester United Transfer but Brentford Not Ready to Approve Departure Yet.

Manchester United’s interest in Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo is heating up, with reports confirming the Red Devils have submitted a massive bid worth IDR 1.3 trillion. However, Brentford have rejected the offer, and the forward’s future still hangs in the balance.

Manchester United’s IDR 1.3 Trillion Bid for Bryan Mbeumo Rejected by Brentford

Manchester United have reportedly had two bids turned down for the Cameroonian forward, the latest being equivalent to IDR 1.3 trillion, the same amount they paid for Matheus Cunha. Despite the substantial offer, Brentford remain firm, stating that they will only let Mbeumo go if the terms are right for the club.

Brentford’s sporting director, Phil Giles, confirmed the club is aware of Mbeumo’s preference to join Manchester United. Still, he emphasized that a move is not guaranteed unless a suitable agreement is reached.

Mbeumo Still Committed to Brentford Despite Manchester United Desire

While Mbeumo is reportedly eager to complete a move to Old Trafford, he is said to remain professional and committed to Brentford if the transfer does not materialize this summer.

“There’s strong interest in Bryan. His preference has been well publicized. But he’s also happy to stay if needed,” said Giles in an interview with Sky Sports.

Standout 2024 Season Draws Premier League Attention

Mbeumo’s performances in the 2023–2024 season were exceptional. He scored 20 goals and provided 7 assists in 38 Premier League matches, making him one of the top attackers in the league—only trailing behind Mohamed Salah (29 goals), Alexander Isak (23), and Erling Haaland (22).

His form has not only attracted Manchester United but also sparked interest from Tottenham Hotspur, now managed by former Brentford coach Thomas Frank.

Brentford’s New Coach Wants Mbeumo to Stay

Brentford recently appointed Keith Andrews as their new manager following Thomas Frank’s departure. Andrews, who previously worked with Mbeumo on set-pieces, hopes to keep the star forward at the club.

“He’s a brilliant player, and of course I want him here,” said Andrews. “I’ve worked closely with him and I understand how vital he is to our system.”

Brentford Facing Major Summer Changes

Brentford are already undergoing significant squad changes. Goalkeeper Mark Flekken has joined Bayer Leverkusen, and captain Christian Norgaard is reportedly on the verge of a move to Arsenal for IDR 315 billion (£15 million).

Losing Mbeumo would be another blow, but Andrews acknowledged the club’s long-term strategy and its openness to player sales when the terms are right.

Will Bryan Mbeumo sign for Manchester United this summer? The interest is genuine, and the player is keen—but Brentford are holding firm. With more negotiations likely, fans may have to wait a bit longer to see if Mbeumo becomes the next big signing at Old Trafford.

Evans’ transition from player to mentor reflects a growing trend in modern football—leveraging on-field experience to build future success off the pitch. As Head of Loans and Player Pathways, Evans will work closely with Director of Football Jason Wilcox and the academy leadership to develop personalized progression plans for emerging players.

“I want to officially announce my retirement from my playing career, not with sadness, but with pride, gratitude and excitement for the next chapter ahead,” said Evans.

He also acknowledged the value of his own loan experiences and how they shaped his development:

“Having had experience of loans myself, I know the crucial role that they can play within a player’s development. I am excited to help further develop the pathway to our first team and continue the legacy of young players thriving at Manchester United.”

Manchester United’s Commitment to Youth Development

This appointment reinforces Manchester United’s long-standing tradition of nurturing homegrown talent. From the Class of ’92 to current stars like Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, the club has always prioritized player development.

Jonny Evans, with his deep understanding of the game and first-hand experience in the loan system, is perfectly positioned to ensure the club’s future remains bright—both on and off the pitch.

Jonny Evans may have ended his playing days, but his journey with Manchester United is far from over. In his new role, he is set to shape the careers of tomorrow’s stars and ensure the club continues its proud legacy of developing elite talent.

Government Collaboration Brings Fast Internet Access to Sekolah Rakyat to Support Digital Learning for Underprivileged Students

Government Collaboration Brings Fast Internet Access to Sekolah Rakyat to Support Digital Learning for Underprivileged Students

Government Collaboration Brings Fast Internet Access to Sekolah Rakyat to Support Digital Learning for Underprivileged Students.

In today’s digital era, having access to the internet is no longer a luxury—it’s a basic need, especially in the education sector. Recognizing this, the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) and the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) have joined forces to provide fast and reliable internet access to Sekolah Rakyat, a government-funded boarding school program aimed at helping children from low-income families.

Fast Internet Connectivity Supports Smart School Ecosystem

Sekolah Rakyat is a flagship program initiated by President Prabowo, offering free education and dormitory-based schooling for students from extremely poor backgrounds. Designed as a smart school, Sekolah Rakyat emphasizes digital learning, which heavily depends on fast and stable internet.

To support this, Komdigi officially handed over internet infrastructure assistance to Sekolah Rakyat SMA 19 and 20—schools located under the Social Affairs Ministry’s UPT (Technical Implementation Unit). The symbolic handover was conducted by Minister of Komdigi Meutya Hafid to Kemensos Secretary General Robben Rico at Sekolah Rakyat SMA 20 BBPPKS Yogyakarta on Saturday, June 28, 2025.

Why Is Fast Internet So Important for Sekolah Rakyat?

According to Robben Rico, internet connectivity is one of the most crucial components of running a smart school like Sekolah Rakyat. The use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and digital tools in classrooms requires consistent, high-speed internet access.

He emphasized that the internet support from Komdigi is critical, as it ensures that students can fully benefit from digital-based education. Robben also highlighted that Kemensos and Komdigi will work together to ensure internet safety by blocking inappropriate or harmful websites that should not be accessed by children.

Dual Support: Digital Infrastructure and Public Communication

Minister Meutya Hafid stated that her ministry is committed to supporting Sekolah Rakyat in two main areas: digital infrastructure and public communication.

She added that all Sekolah Rakyat facilities will gradually be equipped with high-speed internet access, tailored to each location's specific needs.

After the handover ceremony, Minister Meutya also visited the school’s facilities, including the boys’ and girls’ dormitories, staff dorms, cafeteria, and classrooms, to ensure the infrastructure meets the required standards.

Empowering Families Beyond the Classroom

What makes Sekolah Rakyat even more impactful is its holistic approach. The program doesn’t just focus on the students but also involves their families. Parents will be included in empowerment initiatives, and those living in uninhabitable housing will receive assistance for home improvement.

The student recruitment process is thorough and involves collaboration between local social offices, education departments, Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) facilitators, and Statistics Indonesia (BPS). Only students from Desil 1 and 2 in the National Socio-Economic Single Data (DTSEN) are eligible to join.

Ambitious Rollout Target: Over 20,000 Students in 2025

In its initial phase, Sekolah Rakyat will operate in 100 locations and serve 9,755 students. An additional 100 schools are set to open this year, bringing the total number of students to over 20,000—supported by 2,180 teachers and 4,069 educational personnel.

This collaboration between Komdigi and Kemensos marks a significant step toward achieving equitable digital education in Indonesia. By delivering fast internet to Sekolah Rakyat, the government ensures that children from underprivileged families can benefit from a modern, tech-driven learning environment.

The Risks of Joining NSFW or Adult Telegram Groups

Before you join a group just because it’s “trending,” consider the potential dangers:

• Exposure to inappropriate content that may affect your mental health

• Scams and phishing links pretending to offer “premium” content

• Risk of spyware or viruses through APKs or external links

• Being involved in illegal digital distribution

• Stolen personal info if you don’t secure your account

Pro Tips for Staying Safe on Telegram

Here’s how to protect your privacy while using Telegram:

• Use a username, not your real phone number

• Disable group auto-add in settings

• Don’t click unknown links

• Enable two-factor authentication for your account

• Don’t overshare personal info in public groups

• Report harmful or illegal groups directly to Telegram

How to Create Your Own Telegram Group

If you can’t find a group that fits your vibe, create one! Here’s how:

1. Open Telegram

2. Tap the pencil icon > Select “New Group”

3. Add members from your contact list

4. Name your group and upload a group picture (optional)

5. Go to group settings > Tap “Invite via Link”

6. Share the link online

This is a great way to build your own niche community.

Why Telegram Is the Go-To App in 2025

Telegram is more than just a messaging app. It’s become a massive space for:

• Sharing content without censorship

• Hosting large groups (up to 200,000 members)

• Managing communities using bots

• Storing cloud-based files permanently

• Finding entertainment without algorithm limits

Use Telegram Responsibly

Telegram is a powerful tool for entertainment, education, and social interaction. But just like any platform, you need to be aware of what you’re joining. Viral content might look fun at first—but it’s your job to stay smart and safe.

Instead of wasting time in low-quality or shady groups, explore Telegram for its more meaningful uses: join anime fans, learn a new skill, or connect with like-minded people in a respectful space.

15 Legal Streaming Sites to Watch Japanese Movies and Bokeh Videos Without a VPN or Proxy

15 Legal Streaming Sites to Watch Japanese Movies and Bokeh Videos Without a VPN or Proxy.

In today’s digital world, watching Japanese movies and video content should be simple and hassle-free. While some people still rely on VPNs or proxy servers to access geo-restricted content, you actually don’t need any of that to enjoy great Japanese films.

There are plenty of legal streaming platforms that allow you to watch Japanese content with ease—no extra software or location changes required. Here’s everything you need to know.

What Is a Proxy Server and Why Do People Use It to Watch Japanese Content?

A proxy server acts as a gateway between you and the internet. It hides your real IP address and lets you appear as if you're browsing from another country. People use proxies or VPNs to access content that’s blocked in their region.

In the past, this was one of the few ways to watch certain Japanese films or videos. But today, many platforms have expanded their reach and offer global access. Plus, using proxies might go against the terms of service of some providers.

What Does “Bokeh” Mean in Japanese Video Content?

The word bokeh comes from the Japanese term "boke," which means blur or out-of-focus. In photography and videography, bokeh refers to the visual quality of the blurry parts of an image, typically in the background. It’s used to highlight the subject while keeping the rest of the frame soft and dreamy.

In Japanese filmmaking and video production, bokeh is a popular stylistic element. If you’re into cinematography, you can find plenty of tutorials by Japanese creators on YouTube and other learning platforms.
