Jul 21, 2021 JAKARTA – In the teeming, impoverished North Jakarta neighborhood of Muara Baru, people have made a grim joke out of the acronym for the Indonesian government’s lockdown to combat the coronavirus pandemic: PPKM. “Pelan Pelan Kita Mati,” Herdayati, a 48-year-old mother of six and sole breadwinner for a family living in a narrow, claustrophobic alley, said, explaining the gallows humor. It means: “Slowly, we die.” More than half of Indonesia’s population of 270 million spend below $60 a month, the second highest level for “economically vulnerable” people in the world, economists say. The pandemic has been a grinding descent toward poverty and hunger for many of them, the slow death encapsulated by Herdayati’s sardonic joke.
