I was intrigued by how the "Islamic" version of Sleeping Beauty would end. Kissing a random person is haram (forbidden) let alone without consent!!
I flipped to the last page. The princess was woke up after the prince gave her zamzam (holy) water ๐ MaShaAllah ruqyah saved you.
Seneng banget lihat Melbourne kembali normal. Bisa nongkrong lagi, makan-makan bareng teman-teman, tanpa masker. Apalagi sempet iri melihat Instagram beberapa temen di Indonesia yang tetap bisa melakukannya sejak pandemi, sementara saat itu Melbourne lockdown total selama 8 bulan
My grandfather was among who fought for Indonesia's independence in Surabaya. But this article published by New York Times labeled him and other Indonesian soldiers as "Moslem Fanatics", "Moslem troops", "Indonesian extremists" (1)
Gue binggung. Di tengah pandemi malah banyak yang ke Bali berlibur, seolah pandemi ada breaknya. Berharap pandemi selesai tapi mobilitas penduduk tidak berkurang. Yang memalukan adalah mobilitas tinggi ini malah banyak dilakukan kelas menengah, tapi menyalahkan warga kelas lain.
"Seluruh WNI yang berada di Ukraina diimbau untuk melakukan lapor diri melalui Hotline KBRI Kyiv di nomor WA +380 503347917. Apabila terdapat hal-hal yang bersifat darurat, dapat melapor ke aparat setempat dan/atau KBRI Kyiv melalui Hotline KBRI Kyiv."

It's not complicated to understand. You exploited Indonesia and oppressed its people, they fought back, regardless their religion is.
But decades later, the truth prevailed. Look how many countries are now acknowledging the atrocities of the Dutch in Indonesia? (2)
This is a great article about Bali.
"Sometimes foreigners don't completely understand that Bali is still a home for people. They see it as just this Disneyland that's there for their enjoyment and their pleasure.โ
Overheard in Melbourne CBD
A: Our government advices us not to wear mask, unless if we're sick. But why there are many Asians still wearing it on the streets?
B: They're probably sick of us ๐
*both speakers are Caucasians
Do westerners really care about human rights in Indonesia in general or just about having sex outside marriage and how it will impact them when they travel to Bali??
Every news bulletin: sex
Indonesia berada di peringkat ke 79 dengan kategori pengawasan dan deteksi, persiapan layanan kesehatan, dan kesiapan menghadapi gawat darurat yang bahkan jauh tertinggal dari negara Rwanda dan Mexico.
Hal lain adalah: "we are together in this". Saat orang lain berkorban dengan membatasi aktivitas atau diam di rumah, maka tidak adil jika yang lain malah cuek. COVID-19 ini bener-bener jadi tes siapa yang egois dan siapa yang benar-benar saling support dan saling jaga.
It was a beautiful and emotional marriage solemnization between Surabaya, Indonesia and Sydney, Australia. Congratulations

I'd say the ABC is slowly heading to more diversity on the screen. I migrated to Australia in my 20s, so I have thick Indonesian accent, but it doesn't stop my editors to let me tell stories for TV. I'm proud to be the first generation immigrant on Australian TV
Dua bulan Melbourne tanpa penularan COVID-19. Saat itu kami menjalankan kesulitan bersama. Saling dukung. Tidak ada yang lari atau berlibur ke kota/negara bagian lain sementara yang lain berkorban diam di rumah. Itulah kebersamaan yang saya rasakan.

Veronica Koman receives Human Rights Awards in Australia for "her courageous work in exposing human rights violations" in Papua and West Papua. She hopes the award will raise awareness in AUS and the world about human rights abuses suffered by Papuans.
As the only Indonesian/Sundanese at the Australian Muslim Achievement Awards 2022 at the Sydney Opera House, I decided to wear something that represents my culture.
Discussing about COVID-19 vaccine with Australian imam and Muslim health professionals. It was Ibn Sena (Avicenna), a Muslim scholar who came up with the idea of quarantine to prevent disease. Taken from the al-arba'iniya (40 days) became quarantena (40 days) in Venetian language
A database of 2.4 million people, including more than 35,000 Australians, has been leaked from the Shenzhen company Zhenhua Data which is believed to be used by China's intelligence service, the Ministry of State Security.
Unggahan ini bukan suggesting lockdown akan berhasil atau tidak. Saya bukan epidemiolog atau pakar ekonomi. Murni perasaan saya waktu itu di saat lockdown dan melihat temen-temen di Instagram pada bebas....
During her speech, Veronica Koman likened the suffering of Papuans to the Indigenous Australians. Veronica received human rights award from an Australian non-government organization, ACFID, last night.
"Hijab is part of our identity, it's our crown, it's our dignity, hands off my hijab".

... menjalani lockdown, cuma boleh keluar rumah di jam tertentu, dibatasi 1 jam, hanya boleh beraktivitas di radius lima kilometer dari rumah adalah pengalaman melelahkan. Saya sendiri developing anxiety. Makanya wajar jika iri melihat kebebasan negara lain yang saya lihat di IG
Love this quote!

You let the oppression happen and you accept it as normal.

Banning cohabitation between unmarried couples is the best selling for western media headlines, but penalties for criticising president, curbing freedom of expression, reducing sentences for corruptors also showing "a huge setback to Indonesian democracy"

Great discussion by a migrant community group this morning:
"Is Harmony Day a celebration that requires people of color to perform cultural entertainment for the enjoyment of white people and make them feel good?"
I don't understand why every Ramadan, Western media always publish a story "what is Ramadan?". But many people still don't know about Ramadan - one argued. Dude, this is 2021. Google, ask your Muslim friend, if you don't have one, then it's time to make friend with them๐ (1)
