Prabowo Subianto responded to the weakening of the rupiah against the US dollar while attending the inauguration of the Marsinah Museum. According to him, fluctuations in the rupiah’s exchange rate do not have a major direct impact on people living in rural areas, who are more focused on meeting their daily basic needs and do not use US dollars in their everyday activities. In his remarks, Prabowo also addressed parties that frequently portray Indonesia’s economy as being on the brink of crisis due to the rupiah’s decline. He emphasized that Indonesia’s economic resilience remains relatively stable, particularly in the food and energy sectors, despite ongoing global uncertainty. He also stated that public loyalty toward the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) remains strong. What do you think?

According to psychologist Felicia Maukar, the body can sometimes signal when a person needs to slow down, take a break, or go on a vacation, one common sign being frequent forgetfulness or feeling mentally disconnected during conversations. She explains that this may be the body’s way of responding to prolonged mental exhaustion caused by daily routines and constant pressure. Other signs may include difficulty sleeping, getting tired more easily, increased irritability, and trouble concentrating. Because of this, taking time to rest and recharge is considered important not only for mental well-being, but also for helping the body and mind return to a healthier balance.

Many Indonesians don’t realize that they often consume up to four teaspoons of sugar a day without even noticing. This seemingly small habit can actually increase the risk of diabetes and Indonesia is already ranked among the top five countries with the highest number of diabetes cases in the world. That’s why it’s important to start limiting sugar intake and paying closer attention to nutrition labels, especially to check the sugar content in the foods and drinks we consume daily. One simple step is choosing smarter alternatives, such as Tropicana Slim Diabtx, zero calorie sugar which can be used to sweeten your everyday drinks and meals.
Sometimes, better habits start with the simplest choices so life can stay sweet, just in a healthier way. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🤍🤍

Socotra is an island belonging to Yemen, located in the Indian Ocean about 380 km south of the Arabian Peninsula. The island is often nicknamed the “alien island,” “the most alien-looking place on Earth,” and even the “Galápagos of the Indian Ocean” because of its incredibly unique ecosystem. Around one-third of its plant species cannot be found anywhere else in the world, including the famous Dragon Blood Tree, which resembles a giant umbrella and produces a deep red sap that looks like blood. Because of its extraordinary biodiversity, Socotra was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2008. 😭😭🤍🤍
