Independence and Housing 80 Years of Promises - Indonesia

The 80th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia was not a celebration, but a bitter reflection. These photos capture a reality far from the glitter of national celebrations at the USU Residence III, Patumbak Satu, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, Indonesia, the celebration. Amid muddy dirt roads and piles of garbage, only a single Indonesian flag flutters, as if the sole silent witness to the desolate national spirit. This settlement has been inhabited for two years, but the promised basic infrastructure has yet to materialise. The absence of public facilities such as parks and places of worship is not simply negligence; it is a reflection of the injustice felt by its residents. Every puddle and unpaved road is a daily reminder of the vast gap between spoken promises and the reality faced. This situation has become a national spotlight. This issue is not merely a development issue, but a strong indication of alleged corruption and money laundering practices that tarnish the public housing program. In respo

STORY: A visit to "ghost town" in southern Namibia DATELINE: May 23, 2022 LENGTH: 00:03:12 LOCATION: Windhoek CATEGORY: SOCIETY SHOTLIST: 1. various of Kolmanskop town and exhibited items STORYLINE: In an inconspicuous corner of southern Namibia, there is a place known to the locals as a "ghost town." It welcomes tourists from all over the world every day, and it is also a photographer's paradise. The story began at the beginning of the last century when someone discovered a desolate desert place with great wealth hidden in it. In 1908, the Germans led a large number of miners to Kolmanskop. With their hard work and perseverance in finding diamonds, they quickly developed the desert land into a prosperous place. As the first city in Africa to manufacture trams, it soon became a typical German town with a bustling community. They minimized the hardships of living in the desert with the power of wealth. Even after a hundred years, weathering has caused some roofs to collapse and wall paint to peel off, bu
