                  A commuter train leaves the city during rush hour in Jakarta, Indonesia, on August 21, 2024. In the past two decades, the gap between the richest and the rest in Indonesia grows faster than in any other country in South-East Asia. It is now the sixth country of greatest wealth inequality in the world. Today, the four richest men in Indonesia have more wealth than the combined total of the poorest 100 million people.
