Stop tot tot wuk wuk | September 22, 2025

Hello reader,

Imagine having some much-needed contemplation time while you’re behind the wheel in Jakarta’s traffic, only to be rudely greeted with a “tot tot wuk wuk.”

The noise and blinding lights didn’t even come from an emergency vehicle. Nay, it’s a police escort weaving through traffic to guide a politician who is late to their function at some swanky five-star hotel.

If that has ruined your macet fantasy, you’re not alone. Online, there’s been a movement to “stop tot tot wuk wuk” because the roads belong to all of us, not just a select few. More on this phenomenon below.

Cheers,

Andra
