Hello reader,

Fadia Arafiq was known as the dangdut singer behind the 2000 hit “Cik Cik Bum Bum”. Then she became known as the regent for Pekalongan Regency. Now she is known as the Pekalongan regent who was arrested for outsourcing gov’t contracts to her family’s company, and basically told KPK that she didn’t understand the rules because she was just a dangdut singer.

Let’s cik cik bum bum right to that story, followed by other top stories from across the archipelago.

Cheers,

Andra
