This week in Indonesia
Indonesia's news this week highlighted significant power outages across Sumatra, leading to two deaths and widespread reliance on candles in affected areas like Aceh and West Sumatra. Concurrently, Hajj pilgrimage preparations were closely monitored, with officials inspecting facilities and urging prayers, amidst reports of a pilgrim's death and arrests for Hajj fraud. On a more positive note, Persib Bandung secured their third consecutive Indonesian League title, sparking city-wide celebrations, while the head of state-owned enterprises intervened to stop legal action against an elderly man.
