Traditional puppet ban in Indonesian capital threatens buskers
In the sweltering streets of Jakarta, Indonesia, buskers carry towering, hollow puppets and pass around a bucket for donations. Now, they fear becoming outlaws. City authorities say they will crack down on use of the sacred ondel-ondel puppets, which can stand as tall as a truck, and they are drafting legislation to remove what they view as a street nuisance. Performances featuring the puppets – originally used by Jakarta's Betawi people to ward off evil spirits – will be allowed only at set events. The ban could leave many ondel-ondel buskers in Jakarta without a job. 'I am confused and anxious. I fear getting raided or even arrested. But what can I do? I need money to eat,' said Adi Sutisna, a 26-year-old Jakarta native who works as an ondel-ondel busker. A row of unfinished ondel-ondel puppets, large traditional figures from Jakarta's Betawi culture originally used to ward off evil spirits. Photo: AFP Adi, who only graduated from elementary school, has been working as an ondel-ondel busker for seven years, earning US$7 (RM29.70) on a good day to provide for his wife and five-year-old daughter. Ondel-ondel is the pride of the native Jakarta tribe, the Betawi people. Traditional performances were accompanied by instruments for festive and celebratory events, including weddings, circumcisions, and welcome ceremonies for honourable guests. Cyril Raoul Hakim, spokesman for Jakarta governor Pramono Anung, said that the ban was still being drafted with 'the preservation of Betawi culture' in mind and it would be put to legislators soon. 'We hope it will be passed not too long from now,' he said. For survival Over time, ondel-ondel have been increasingly used by buskers who sway the puppets to music from loudspeakers, seeking money on the roadside, at traffic lights, and in the alleyways of Jakarta's densely populated neighbourhoods. The city administration has long wanted to ban ondel-ondel busking, arguing that the practice sullies the dignity of the cultural icon. Street performers playing the traditional Indonesian bamboo instruments angklung as they walk past ondel-ondel puppets.

According to government data, the number of people living below the poverty line in metropolitan Jakarta – a megalopolis of 11 million people – was up from 362,000 in 2019 to 449,000 as of September 2024. The Central Statistics Bureau says the poverty line in Indonesia in 2025 is just over one dollar a day. 'The ondel-ondel is heavy; it is very hot inside,' said Adi. 'But I do it anyway because if I don't, my wife and my kid won't be able to eat.' For the right reasons The planned ban has left authentic ondel-ondel performers and makers torn about the preservation of their culture and the plight of the buskers. Performers such as Fadillah Akbar believe the cultural symbol must be revered, and should not be used to beg for money. 'The problem is that they beg on the street – that's a disturbance, and it bothers my soul,' said the 33-year-old ondel-ondel artist. He believes ondel-ondel must come in pairs, a woman and a man, and be accompanied by traditional live music instead of a recorded song playing on loudspeakers. Ondel-ondel performer Fadillah, who recently performed at Japan's Expo 2025 in Osaka, posing in front of his puppet warehouse.

The head of Jakarta's public order agency, Satriadi Gunawan, said ondel-ondel busking disturbed road users with loudspeakers and requests for money. 'In Betawi culture, upholding ondel-ondel's dignity is important, and now it is often used to beg for money,' he said. But some historians disagree, saying limiting the puppet presence on Jakarta's streets could hurt efforts to keep the dwindling tradition alive. 'Banning ondel-ondel busking in the name of culture signifies their lack of understanding for tradition,' said Jakarta-based historian J.J. Rizal. 'It proves that not only does the city government not understand culture, but it also endangers the preservation of art.' – AFP

Space oddities take centre stage
Local artist Hangno Hartono sitting near an alien figure during the Indonesia UFO Festival in Yogyakarta.— AP A metallic spacecraft glistens under ambient light as two figures with elongated limbs, bulbous heads and featureless faces gaze with black eyes into the distance of the island of Java. The extraterrestrial arrival in Indonesia is one of the science fiction scenes that has captivated groups of outer space enthusiasts at the country's UFO Festival throughout July. Since 2016, organisers have welcomed hundreds of fans of outer space realities and mysteries from Indonesia and beyond. The festival aims to be a creative and intellectual crossroads for enthusiasts of space science and exploration, Unidentified Flying Objects, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena and SETI, short for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. This year's free event included an Alien Village, UFO Village and UFO Camp at a site near Yogyakarta, about 420km from the Indonesian capital Jakarta. Visitors admired a replica of a Mars exploration module and galleries with artistic interpretations of outer space, while workshops for adults and students offered cosmic activities such as spacesuit construction. Venzha Christ, director of the Indonesia Space Science Society, said a focus on the term UFO allows participants to wonder without boundaries. 'I think the Indonesian generation needs a platform that can transform and socialise creative ideas, whether from the perspective of technology, science or even art,' Christ said. 'Imagining outer space, imagining the universe, is imagining limitlessness.' — AP

(Video) Fans Coo Over Adorable Interaction Between ATEEZ's Wooyoung & Service Dog
Many K-pop idols have gone viral for their fan interactions, some for hilarious reasons and others for heartwarming ones. However, ATEEZ (에이티즈) member Wooyoung (우영) recently melted hearts with his interaction with a four-legged friend. Earlier this week, ATEEZ completed the Tacoma stop of their 'ATEEZ 2025 WORLD TOUR [IN YOUR FANTASY]' world tour in the United States. After the show, the group and selected fans participated in the sendoff segment. During the session, Wooyoung came across a fan's service dog and began interacting with the animal. Fans at the sendoff shared the videos online and quickly went viral amongst K-pop fans. The service dog named Felix was at the sendoff to accompany an ATINY (ATEEZ fan) with a disability. However, with the owner's permission, Wooyoung was allowed to interact with and pet Felix. The idol even tried to get Felix to do some tricks and was surprised when the dog followed his instructions. Fans have reacted to Wooyoung and Felix's wholesome interaction, with many cooing over it. Some also said the moment highlights the idol's sweet and caring personality. For those wondering, a service dog is a dog trained to perform tasks that mitigate the effects of a person's disability. Service dogs are considered working animals, and their training directly relates to the individual's specific disability. In the US, service dogs and other service animals are allowed to enter public spaces, including concert halls and stadiums, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Felix's owner also shared more information, revealing that the dog is trained in cardiac alert and item retrieval. While Felix was at the concert for work, his owner allowed the ATEEZ members to say hi and pet Felix if they wanted to. The owner also mentioned that, besides Wooyoung, a few other members interacted with Felix. At the same time, she also warned against interacting with service dogs unprompted, as it may be dangerous. We're glad that Wooyoung was able to interact with Felix safely. Like many others, we also found the wholesome moment very heartwarming. Here are a few clips from the interaction: Sources: Twitter (1)(2)
