  • Actors Al Ghazali, Rossa and Chicco Jerikho are urging people to take short breaks to restore focus and energy during demanding routines.
  • The โ€œPasukan bodrex 5 Menit Jeda, Kembali Siap untuk Indonesiaโ€ campaign runs from Aug. 21 to Oct. 21, 2026, with rest and free health-check facilities in Jakarta, Surabaya and Bandung.
  • The initiative cites Indonesiaโ€™s average working week of about 41 to 43 hours and the long commutes faced by millions of workers.

Five minutes may be enough to reset during a packed day, according to actor Al Ghazali, who is encouraging young people to make short recovery breaks part of their routine.

โ€œAmid busy activities, we still need to make room to recharge so we can return healthy and productive,โ€ Al said in a statement cited on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026. He said a recharge break did not need to take long, and that five minutes could sometimes be enough.

Rossa and Chicco Jerikho also backed the message. Rossa said her daily work as an entertainer had made her accustomed to a demanding schedule, but that a brief pause helped her regain focus before continuing. โ€œAs an artist, I am used to carrying out busy activities every day. That is why I believe taking a short break to recharge helps us refocus and get ready to give our best,โ€ she said.
