Gov't shifts blame to forest exploiters

Hello reader,

Extreme weather may have triggered the devastation in Sumatra, but it’s companies exploiting the island’s forests that have worsened the disaster. That has increasingly become the government’s official line, as they now act against legal violators amid intense public scrutiny.

¿Cómo se dice "predictable”? If you don’t know what that means, Indonesia’s future generation soon might, as President Prabowo wants schools to boost foreign language studies for global competitiveness.

Those stories, and more, just below.

Cheers,

Andra
