Indonesians tend to share selective, favorable images of Jakarta's modern buildings and infrastructure on social media, which can create the perception that the country is highly developed. However, the reality is more complex, as Indonesia still faces challenges with issues like poverty and cleanliness, just like any developing countries. It's important to avoid making broad generalizations and recognize that no country is perfect.

Indonesia and Philippines have the same problem very low government support for housing and sanitation 😢

Slums in Tier-1 cities are a common phenomenon globally, and in my opinion the only way for the people living in those slums to come out of the misery is to start a life in a Tier-2 or Tier-3 city where cost of living is lower.

In 2012 I once lived in jakarta and witnessed for myself that jakarta is a metropolis that never sleeps for 24 hours, infrastructure and buildings are so magnificent and modern but on the other hand many villages or residential places are very shabby and it is adjacent to such a magnificent building what a very contrasting scene! There is such an unequal economic equality I think, I stayed there for 1 month..

Intersting video thanku

If this is what slums in Indonesia look like, come to the Philippines it's worse. People literally built houses out of tents under the bridge.

Awesome to watch this channel

Very good video showing the real life of happy lower class people, thank you for sharing the video

just learn from malaysia. especially KL area. during 70's 80's there a lots of slum area then slowly gov move (force to move) this people to the new flat housing area, if they not move, out of sudden the slum area facing a very big fire the next day, burn all the houses so the people doesn't have any choice but to move the new flat that gov already build. LOL

Bro this channel deserves more attention.

the service to the people is not perfect yet, but its getting better - comparing 15 0-20 years ago

Grateful are those who live in Malaysia

high speed trains are much more important than the living standards of citizens, it seems

There is minus and plus if we compare Indonesia and western area like America ..in Indonesia poor people still lucky becouse they still can rent the small room..but in America..some people who called homeless live in tent or care becouse the house rent so hight even some of them have a job..

They key word is ‘comfort’ repeated many times by the people living in the slum. If they are comfortable (being with their families, next to familiar surroundings etc) then they have no motivation to change the course of their lives

Finally the government decided to moves the capital to East Kalimantan, well at least those policy will reduce the roles and burden of Jakarta, Jakarta are way too much roles as the central of government,.politics, economy, finance and technology

BANGKOK and MANILA as well as the major cities of Vietnam has also extreme slums.

Thanks for the short documentary. Great content.

Wow Free Healthcare

Jakarta dengan seribu keluh kesah.

overproud dengan youtuber yang bawa keindahan indonesia, giliran yang kayak gini ilang wkwk

Thats why we are moving our capital. Its the best solution. Make Jakarta as a bussiness city (not industrial, not manufacturing) and not government center anymore. Jakarta is also banned any new industrial facilities and start to push companies to move out their factory outside jakarta.

Very skilled production from "two medical students". In 1973, I worked in the School Of Physiology & Pharmacology, UNSW, Australia. Medical research. The solution is not medical, but "community medicine", which is a subset of national governance. Overpopulation is worldwide problem. Population governance is a well-understood science. Science has yet to become an applied technology. This slowness, to become an applied technology, is the problem. Better social engineering is the solution.

Correct

Jakarta should allocate funds and / or development costs to support the creation of housing for slums first, rather than Keretapi Cepat Indonesia China.

Indonesia has made great strides forward since over throwing the autocratic Suharto dictatorship in the late nineties after 32 years of corrupt leadership. Half of the antibiotics sold in Indonesia at that time by their big pharma corporations were not even antibiotics but just placebos. Of course Jakarta, like most national capitols, has more jobs and pay than nearly all other areas in the country so everyone wants to live there. The island of Java is also very small (being about 650 X 200 miles in area) and has a huge population of over 125 million people, more than all of Japan.

this is better than slum in america they sleep on the road. but why dont you report slum in america? it must be so interesting right?

Same in Philippines

No kampung is not a village. Kampung can be in a village or a city. It’s an alley with houses on one side or both sides.

related to health care ,i think go to work and paid and go back home with some money to fulfill the needed of their family more important rather then go to Puskesmas latter their won't be pay because of absent .

The could probably can learn how to grow garden and sale vegetables for some money to support life . Vegetables can be grown in the house all they need is big pottery with soil seeds and water and some sun.

I am the original of Jakarta tribe called as Betawi. I lived in slums area in west Jakarta when I was a child. It wasn’t very nice environment for any human being to live. Then we move to Kampung southern district of the suburb of Jakarta it was better, cleaner not crowded but then over the years my kampung became crowded now hardly any gardens. Now I live in Canberra Australia I am so lucky.

family`s are having too many children and the men are lazy - i was there in 1979 - 80 and it is still the same = it is what they believe in !

Fan here in the Philippines 🌴

Thailand is beautiful

In Kuala Lumpur Malaysia there are also many street beggars they are all just overproud on KZfaq 😊😊

They get free health care but they want to get paid for lost work time? This is a harsh uncertain world, each of us has to take responsibility to make our individual life better. No government is going to walk you by the hand from the cradle to the grave.

Such a educative and informative documentary, learned a lot! And the shots are great and the editing was on point

The 'rich' provincial government of Jakarta should provide comfortable 'communal' apartments to all of the residents of the slum areas (free of charge for renting, electricity&clean water)....The Jakarta provincial government also should give a kind of "endorsements", such as : stipends & job opportunities.. Usually those "poor" people are reluctant to move to another place due to " family reasons", job reasons, money shortages, no government assistance & no better alternatives ...Sorry this is only an opinion of a commoner. Thanks.

There are Slum living every where in indonesian. Not just Jakarta. But we can see in Bandung, Medan and even in Bali. Jawa inhabited by 150 million people. Even more than population of Russia just 144 million with 19 million sq km. Apa jua indonesia rasa bangga masuki klub G20.

আমার মতে ইন্দোনেশিয়া আমার দেশ বাংলাদেশের চেয়ে অনেক বেশি উন্নত 😢

It’s not just in Jakarta that this is apparent. It’s all over Asia or Asian countries except Asian countries that restrict the truth (mostly communist country) and want to portray that they don’t have any problem.

BPJS doctors also not that good, but probably still better than other doctors outside BPJS that materialistic/money only. St Carolus hospital example, doctors there not knowledge money only.

Fun fact: most of those living in slum houses are immigrants from outside Jakarta 😌

Things that never be shown by ex governor. Instead showing golden triangle all the time. lol

The great nation of Asia....

Just let jakarta sink slowly , who's care ?!

Jakartan are so unfortunate because the government not pro-people. No proper public housing mean, no clean water supply, electricity, sewage also waste management. The government keep allocate the budget to less priority or unnecessary project than straight to the people. It's not about cash money but a better life even it just a low cost apartment.

Those are slums? Oh God I feel really bad for my country now.

Paskesmas?

If you compare slums in philippines and indonesia,philippine slums is more terrible,indonesian slums a little bit decent

Robot voice?

no birth controls ?

They could clear the litter themselves

Indonesian always said "We are rich" and always looking down to poor people from other countries, but what is this slums?? Lol stop hiding the truth indos, and be humble, PEACE ✌️

over populated ? ?

The solution to the problema is very simple, if you are below a certain economic standard do not procreate. Cover it up PLEASE. I'm poor and i wont bring a life into being, only to endure the pain and struggle of living. As i have been forced to endure by my mother and father. THINk about it PLEASE

อยากให้คนอินโดนีเซียมาดูสภาพประเทศตัวเอง ก่อนจะไปทับถมประเทศอื่น😂

Jakarta rasa India🤣🤣🤣

200 slum areas in Jakarta We call it kampung atau RW kumuh. @ 5000 peoples in 20,000 square metres. Total 1M peoples in 200 kampungs. In 4 Millions square metres. 700k people are from outside of jakarta. They have big house in their hometown. They rent house or built illegal house in Jakarta. 300k peoples are jakartans since 1950 or before, so they have land certified. Government of Jakarta already build more than 100 flat or semi apartment building since 2014 - 2023 or more than 30k new house or equal for 120k peoples. They build it in government land. But Its not enough So, government must buy land. The price of slum land is 10 millions rupiah / square metres. It cost 4 Millions square metres * 10 millions rupiah = 40 Trilyun rupiah Or 2 billions $. Its small cost. Cause jakarta have cash money 80 Trilyun rupiah /year. We can do this for next 10 years If we want to. But former gubernur 2017 - 2022 doesn't want that consept. Maybe our next gubernur 👍

I have been live in Jakarta for 3 decades, I lived in Tokyo, and Hongkong too. I noticed that Jakarta problems is the weak goverment and people's mindset to go to big city and do nothing. Homeless, slums definitely getting worse there, and those people are screaming for money from government. And of course, the crooked government sold their lands to those people or mafia. What a shame, the government don't have such a control over their people. It is easier to nuke them for sure, otherwise they will rampage and go to the presidential palace for anarchy demonstration.

The slums in the Philippines look much worse than this but comes election time people still vote for politicians who keep them poor

I hope someone go to help donate some vegetables seeds and help educate them so that they may help themselves. 😊

Otw pindah negara 😎🔥

Oho they also have slums then why Mumbai slums is so famous ??? Even it generates 1 billion dollars every year !! And contribute a huge role in Mumbai economy

Internationally. These slums exist because of management. Example is condo slums. They force the price down, and refuse to maintain it so they can be greedy and buy it cheaper. While they could alternatively maintain it well, sell what they have for a profit and since they are in knowledge of availablity buy whatever comes cheap while the market goes up and down.

they dont wanna move anyway, expect violence first

Indonesian said Philippines very country😂but the Philippines and indonesia very satiation😂😂😂😂😅😅

A story of the haves and the have nots. Seriously messed up.

In short no work no pay or they live subsistence living cut it short

OMG the pronunciation of the narrator is hurting my ears!!!!!

Wkwkwkwkwk indon sungai jakarta nya jernih bangat😂

i guess every place has its poverty- even USA.

At least we are far more better than those in small African countries where the poverties are second to none . We also better than the India people.

PLEASE TELL THE TRUTH TO THE WORLD THE POOR DO NOT GET FREE MEDICAL. CARE FROM THE. GOVERNMENT

Hey at least Indonesians even in these slums have universal healthcare unlike the US 😊

That is a village not city🤦🏻‍♂️. INDONESIAN city is modern and clean

People living in slum communities must be offered free birth control as they may Not be able to afford it on their own or they may NOT be aware or adequately educated to see that it is the solution to gradually ( humanely ) phasing slum life out of a normal thriving, economically viable community. To also invest in their education and their transition into professional life that will allow them to transition out of the slum community gradually and humanely. This solution is worth the investment by the corporate rich.

LMAO THIS VIDEO OLD VIDEO MAYBE 2012 JUST CHECK JAKARTA 2022

The poor area oof Manila Philippine s is called tondo

And these people make fun of India. Maybe we need to rule them again for hundreds of years.

Would have been so much better if you didn't use that AI voice, and you recorded the narration yourself. Those fake, compuTer AI voices are horrible. But otherwise enjoyed it.

FGM should be banned in Indonesia

Waduh yang jelek di video in. Juga
