2 elementary school boys, each standing on one pedal, ride a bike in Indonesia

While most kids their age would be fighting over who gets to ride the bike, these two young boys in Indonesia showed what it means to truly collaborate by reinventing tandem biking (and inadvertently getting a taste of viral fame).

This video, posted over the weekend, shows two boys wearing elementary school uniforms each standing on one pedal, see-sawing back and forth as they delicately balance the bicycle. They were filmed by a seemingly friendly man on a motorcycle (we do not condone the fact that he was using his phone while driving) who was clearly amused by what he saw as he encouraged them throughout the video.

The boys seem like they have been riding together for a long time, looking perfectly in sync as they expertly maneuver around pot holes and make tight turns with ease. As a result, commenters were quick to draw parallels to the “Pacific Rim” movies, which feature giant robots piloted by two humans working in sync.

Kid without driver’s license pees himself when police pull him over, cops post pic on Instagram as warning

It’s hard to imagine a scenario more humiliating than being caught by the police while riding a motorcycle without a license and promptly peeing on yourself out of fear.

One of the few ways it could get worse would be if the cops were to take a picture of you and your soiled pants and then upload it to social media as a warning to others.

That is exactly what happened to this Indonesian youngster, whose urine-soaked pants now adorn the official Instagram account of the Bandung Police (who were, at least, considerate enough to cover the boy’s face to save him from ultimate humiliation).

The caption to the photo reads:

Caught breaking the law, this school kid peed in his pants.

When the officer stopped this high school student that was driving a motorcycle on the road, instantly the kid peed in the pants, either because he really had to pee or because he was really afraid of getting a ticket.

.For younger brothers and sisters who do not yet have a driver’s license, do not bring a vehicle to school, it is better to ride an angkot (public transport minibus) if your parents can’t give you a ride..

Stop violations stop accidents save humanity

While it was obviously wrong of the student to drive a motorcycle without a driver’s license, it also seems pretty messed up that the police took a humiliating photo of an officer pointing at the kid’s pee pants and then uploaded it to social media.

But, on the other hand, they did hide the student’s face. And perhaps his humiliation will serve as a warning to the multitude of other kids driving out there without licenses.

Underage driving is a huge problem here in Indonesia with far too many children driving themselves and others to school illegally on motorcycles each and every day while police generally look the other way. But even when they do stop underage motorists, there’s not much they can do to punish them since the law law is limited in how it can punish juvenile crimes (this is perhaps best illustrated by the case of popstar-turned-politician Ahmad Dhani’s son, who illegally drove a car when he was just 13 and killed 7 people in a horrific accident but went completely unpunished, as did his father who gave him the sports car he was driving).

Two years ago, a woman started an online petition to jail parents who let their underage children drive, after a kid on a motorcycle killed a 3-year-old boy in an accident. Though the petition has garnered a great deal of support, no such law has been passed.

Eight Taiwanese drug smugglers were sentenced to death by an Indonesian court Thursday after being nabbed with around a ton of crystal methamphetamine in a country that has some of the world’s toughest anti-drug laws.

The men were arrested during raids last July, when the drug network’s suspected leader was killed in a shootout with Indonesian police.

“The defendants have been found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of colluding and smuggling narcotics,” presiding judge Haruno Patriadi said as he passed sentence at the South Jakarta District Court.

Tipped off by their Taiwanese counterparts, Indonesian police said they discovered some 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) of crystal meth — shipped by boat from China — packed inside about 50 boxes. The haul was reportedly worth some $144 million.

Some of the suspects were arrested at a beach where the drugs were delivered some 125 kilometers (77 miles) west of Jakarta, while others were apprehended in the suspected drug boat near Singaporean waters.

The sentence passed on the men — Liao Guan-Yu, Chen Wei-Cyuan, Hsu Yung-Li, Juang Jin Sheng, Sun Kuo Tai, Sun Chih-Feng, Kuo Chun Yuan, and Tsai Chih Hung — comes after 11 other Taiwanese drug smugglers were condemned to death in Indonesia in recent years.

Indonesia has some of the world’s toughest anti-drug laws, with sentences including the death penalty for smugglers who carry five or more grams.

Several foreign and Indonesian nationals have been executed by firing squad in recent years for drug trafficking, including Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran in 2015, a case that sparked diplomatic outrage and a call to abolish the death penalty.

Capital punishment is carried out by firing squad in Indonesia, which has slowed the pace of its executions in recent years despite broad public support for the penalty.

President Joko Widodo has said Indonesia is in the grips of a drug “emergency” and called for police to shoot suspected drug dealers who attempt to resist arrest.

The police regularly announce drug busts including one in February when they seized 1.6 tons of crystal meth hidden on a Singapore-flagged ship between Indonesia’s Sumatra island and the city state.

A subsequent search of the ship turned up the huge haul of narcotics stuffed into some 81 rice sacks. Four Taiwanese crew were arrested including a 69-year-old man.

Around 250 tons of illegal drugs passed through Indonesia’s borders in 2016, according to figures from the National Narcotics Agency, with China listed as the biggest source country.

Reckless driver refuses to give way for ambulance, actually speeds up to block its passage

It’s tragically not uncommon to see ambulances, sirens blaring and lights flashing, stuck behind slow or unmoving traffic in Indonesia. While it’s technically illegal to block emergency vehicles, the law is rarely enforced and the concept of “giving way” for ambulances is dangerously unknown or ignored by many stubborn drivers, the results of which can obviously be deadly when there’s a patient in the back seat whose life may depend on how fast they can be rushed to the nearest hospital.

To help combat this, volunteer groups of ambulance escorts have been formed in many Indonesian cities to help carve a path for the emergency vehicles through traffic. But one such group in Medan, the capital city of North Sumatra, showed just how much opposition they can sometimes face at the hands of reckless drivers.

The video, shared by Escorting Ambulance Medan’s Instagram account on Sunday, shows one of the volunteer group’s motorcycle riders attempting to get cars to make way for an ambulance bringing a patient to a local hospital. But one driver does not take kindly to being ordered by the escort to move aside. Not only does the driver not pull over to allow the ambulance to pass, he actually speeds up in order to block its lane.

Despite numerous calls and curses from the escort, who repeatedly says that he’s recording the whole incident, the ambulance is only able to narrowly get past the car driver at a toll gate, where the driver (who claimed to be a member of the military) gets out of his car to confront the escort when the video ends.

Although what happened afterwards isn’t explained, the Instagram caption warns the driver that his “attitude is very embarrassing to his institution” and that he should be ready get called upon at his place of work. It ends by saying “Hopefully you will soon be in an ambulance and get stuck in terrible traffic, pal”.

The caption may have alluded to the fact that the driver might be called upon at his place by the police, since his actions in the video (in which his license plate is clearly visible) were in violation of Indonesian traffic laws, which state that blocking an ambulance that is carrying a patient carries a maximum penalty of one month in jail or a IDR250,000 (USD18)

But that law seems to be rarely (if ever) enforced, allowing obstinate Indonesian drivers to escape unpunished. (Of course, this phenomenon is not limited to just Indonesia…)

But unless something is done to change the mentality of the country’s drivers, Indonesia’s vastly underfunded and understaffed emergency medical responders will need to rely on brave volunteer escorts to help them open the path and save lives.

Indonesian police on the hunt for suspected terrorists, at least 6 killed since yesterday

The latest report from the Indonesian Police says that the total death toll from the bomb attacks in East Java stands at 21, including nine alleged to be perpetrators (or the perpetrators’ children), as well as dozens injured. Seeking to prevent any more attacks, police have been aggressively hunting other suspected terrorists, which has led to at least six more deaths.

East Java Police spokesperson Frans Barung Mangera said that law enforcement had tracked down seven more people suspected of having a connection to the terrorist attacks or the group behind them, two of whom were killed when police confronted them.

“Two of these suspects were been shot dead because they resisted the officers,” Frans said as quoted by Wartakota.

The police spokesperson said that all seven suspects were believed to be planning attacks in several more locations but told the media that police would not reveal the names of those targets to help maintain public calm. However, he said police were taking all steps necessary to secure those areas.

Frans did specify that three of the five remaining suspects were captured in Surabaya while the other two were secured in Sidoarjo.

Separately, the country’s elite anti-terror police, Densus 88, reported shooting and killing four men at Pasir Hayam Terminal in Cianjur, West Java, at around 1 am yesterday (before the church bombings). Officers confronted the men after following them there from Sukabumi. Another suspect was secured for questioning.

Police said they had reason to believe the men were planning to attack a police station. The weapons they found on the suspects, including firearms and poisoned knives, would seem to support that theory.

The results of their investigation at the crime scene led them to another suspect, identified as MG, who they said was brought to Jakarta this morning for questioning. Densus 88 have not yet revealed if any of the suspects were known to have ties to the terrorist perpetrators in Surabaya or Sidoarjo.

Suicide bombings took place at three different churches in Surabaya on Sunday morning, killing at least 14 and injuring 42. Investigators believe that a single family (including the father, mother and four children aged 9-18) were behind the attacks and that they were linked to the Surabaya chapter of Jemaah Ansharut Daulah, a terrorist network with links to Islamic State (IS). Officials also believe they were among 500 Indonesians recently returned from Syria who had gone to the Middle East to fight with IS and that they had spent some time with the terrorist group learning about terrorism tactics and bomb making.

Then, at around 9 pm, a homemade bomb prematurely exploded in the neighboring city of Sidoarjo in what the police have disturbingly described as another family affair akin to the Surabaya church bombings. Three were killed in this incident.

On Monday morning, five suspected suicide bombers — all believed to be from one family — attacked the Surabaya Police HQ. Four of the alleged bombers were killed, while the youngest among them, an 8-year-old, survived. Four police officers were wounded.

ANOTHER suicide bombing incident rocks Police HQ in Surabaya

The Indonesian province of East Java has seen three deadly explosions in just two days, the latest of which occurred at around 8:50 am today at the headquarters of the Surabaya City Police.

CCTV footage of the incident shows two motorcycles carrying two people each being stopped at the entrance gate of the police HQ before two explosions are seen.

East Java Police Spokesperson Frans Barung confirmed the attack and that several of the victims were cops, but has yet to provide more specific information about the casualties.

“Whether they were hurt or killed, please friends in the media wait [for the information] because we’re investigating the scene,” he said during a press conference, as quoted by Tribun.

Suicide bombings took place at three different churches in Surabaya on Sunday morning, killing at least 14 and injuring 42. Investigators believe that a single family (including the father, mother and four children aged 9-18) were behind the attacks and that they were linked to the Surabaya chapter of Jemaah Ansharut Daulah, a terrorist network with links to Islamic State (IS). Officials also believe they were among 500 Indonesians recently returned from Syria who had gone to the Middle East to fight with IS and that they had spent some time with the terrorist group learning about terrorism tactics and bomb making.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the suicide bombings via its propaganda agency Amaq, calling them “martyrdom attacks”.

Then, at around 9 pm, a homemade bomb prematurely exploded in the neighboring city of Sidoarjo in what the police have disturbingly described as another family affair akin to the Surabaya church bombings. Three were killed in this incident.
