What is brilliant about this parody is its subversion and critique of the PPAP trans-binary - rather than attempting to squeeze together the es cendol and the beer to make es cendol beer, the dancing police officer instead rejects the beer and chooses only the es cendol.

The political battle over another protest against Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama scheduled for December 2 continues to go back and forth, bringing into serious question whether the demonstration will actually take place. The police have said that they would not allow another massive protest like the one which took place on November 4, arguing that the people’s right to public order outweighed the rights of the protesters in this case. The Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) came back arguing that nobody should worry because their next protest would not just be peaceful, but super peaceful.

Should FPI continue with their Dec 2 rally, they may find far fewer people joining the protest than the 100,000 plus that came out on Nov 4. That is because the Indonesian Ulemas Council (MUI), the country’s top Muslim clerical body, released a statement yesterday recommending that citizens who wanted to protest against Ahok for his alleged blasphemy not join in more demonstrations and instead voice their opinions through other channels.

MUI legitimized the crusade against Ahok by FPI and other hardline groups by issuing a fatwa declaring that the governor had indeed blasphemed Islam for his remark regarding the Qu’ran. Hardliners even called the organization they created to coordinate the anti-Ahok protests the National Movement to Guard the Fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council (GNPF-MUI).

But yesterday’s statement from MUI made it clear that they were not in fact party to GNPF-MUI. It includes the line “... MUI deems it necessary to assert that GNPF-MUI is not part of the Executive Board of MUI and that no formal structural relationship whatsoever exists between the two groups.”

The statement also asked that protesters who did come to the rally not use any MUI logos or attributes.

MUI strongly endorsed the November 4 rally and their logos could be seen on signs and banners throughout the protest. So what changed? It’s not clear, but pressure from the police and the rest of the government (particularly President Jokowi, who has spent the last week meeting with top military and political party leaders) may have had something to do with it.

Detik reported that FPI leader Habib Rizieq met with the executive board of MUI yesterday morning and that after the meeting he left in a hurry, without giving reporters any of his usual colorful commentary. MUI made the statement distancing themselves from the protest later that afternoon.

However, FPI is clearly not giving up on their plans for the Dec 2 rally yet, declaring today that there were three million people ready to join the protest.

Some foreigners joke that Indonesia’s bright, multi-colored rupiah bills look a lot like Monopoly money. One man who was withdrawing money from a Mandiri ATM at a convenience store in Cipete, South Jakarta, on Wednesday was surprised to find out that one of the bills the machine spit out was, in fact, play money.

Satriaputra Sukarno showed off the photo of the fake money on his Instagram page on Wednesday afternoon along with the caption: “So… my father withdrew Rp 50k from the Mandiri ATM at Circle K in Cipete, it came out like this. Nice joke Mandiri, but pls give actual 50 “

Mandiri’s Customer Service instagram account commented on the photo soon after, apologizing for the problem and saying that the fake money could be exchanged for the real deal at any nearby Mandiri outlet along with the receipt.

This seemed to satisfy Satriaputra who noted in a later edit to his photo caption, “Mandiri does an amazing cust. service job. Case closed! Mine, at least. Shout out to any of yall who got monopoly money as well”.

Tempo confirmed that the incident occurred with Mandiri, whose corporate secretary, Rohan Hafas, said the incident could have occured due to errors made by the vendors charged with replacing the money inside the ATMs.

"If an ATM is outside of a bank branch, the money may be restocked by a vendor. We will contact the vendor and investigate," Rohan told Tempo.

We’ve often been warned to donate money through official channels and charities as opposed to giving money to street beggars. There’s evidently a good reason for that.

Some beggars simply won’t put their money to good use.

The South Jakarta Social Agency recently “cleaned up” areas of Kebayoran Baru and Kebayoran Lama from street beggars. One of the beggars caught in the raid in Jalan Radio Dalam was 70-year-old TB.

TB admitted to authorities that he had received up to Rp 3.6 million in donated money since the beginning of Ramadan, or in other words just two weeks.

“The money was spent to ‘play around’ with women around the traditional markets,” said South Jakarta Social Agency Head Kismoyohadi, as quoted by Tempo yesterday.

Kismoyo added that authorities found TB to be in possession of Rp 5,000 notes instead of smaller denominations, which suggests that people are more charitable during Ramadan.

TB was taken to an old people’s home in East Jakarta. The money he collected was donated to that home.

So if you’re feeling charitable, make sure you donate your money through official charity organizations.

Poor proud kakek in East Jakarta refuses to beg, makes a living letting people use his weight scale

There’s a common perception in Jakarta that many of the city’s poor resort to begging because they would can earn more money doing that than if they worked small jobs. For instance, this old man was found to have Rp 3.6 million on him after only two weeks of begging – money he used to pay for female companionship.

While that kakek (old man) should not be emulated, another poor kakek is tugging at netizens’ heartstrings for his refusal to beg despite his financial condition.

Photos of the elderly man have gone viral on Facebook ever since they were posted on October 26, garnering almost 9,000 shares at the time of writing. It is described in the post that the frail-looking kakek has often been spotted around the streets of East Jakarta carrying a weight scale. The scale is supposedly his source of income – he lets people use it to weigh themselves and they can pay him any amount of money they like.

A commenter on the post wrote that he met the kakek once, who said that his name is Oih, he’s 71 years old and he lives in Klender, East Jakarta.

It’s truly admirable that Oih would rather find a way to make a living besides begging. If you want to find out how much you weigh and help an old man at the same time, Oih is said to frequent Rawamangun and Jatinegara in East Jakarta.
