'Half of the group’s annual budget of $810,000 came from American aid. The collective, called CamboJA, only has enough money to operate until June. They have stopped providing drinking water at the office to save $30 a month.'

What are Prabowo's economic plans for his term? How can Indonesia meet his ambitious targets for 8% growth? Will Indonesia fall to the middle income trap? My interview with Riandy Laksono is a cracker. indonesiaatmelbourne.unimelb.edu.au/talking-indo...
Talking Indonesia: Prabonomics

Tomorrow the Singapore government will hang Pannir Selvam, who has been imprisoned since 2013 for couriering heroin.

In jail, Pannir has written songs and supported others on death row. He will be the 10th executed since October 2024.
