SOUND BITES:Antonieta Alves, volunteer:"This act represents a large part of the pain of each of these families and our outrage at the government's contempt for these victims, because today 600,000 have been trivialized. 600,000 no longer means anything, you know? It's as if we hadn't started to die. The government does not take things into consideration and the people trivialize these 600 thousand. The families that lost their relatives and friends felt it. We feel that each one of these exceeds 600 thousand. "Carla Marcia Davi, volunteer:"We could have a health (policy) that would reduce deaths in the country, but unfortunately our government is negligent, it does not contribute with vaccines, to our public health. We are in a very difficult moment in our country, of mourning, abandonment and total poverty. "
Depok, Sep 30 (EFE/EPA).- The street monkey performances still maintain their popularity in several parts of Indonesia, especially after the government lowered the level of Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) in a number of areas during the COVID-19 pandemic. A street monkey performance, known as 'Topeng Monyet' or 'Monkey Mask' is a popular form of cheap entertainment in Indonesia, especially on the island of Java. During the show, a trainer usually issues orders by pulling the chain tied around the primate's neck, forcing it to perform tricks such as wearing a mask or riding a toy motorcycle. The Indonesian government banned the Topeng Monyet in the capital Jakarta in 2013 to improve public order and ending animal abuse, although the shows are still popular in several other parts of the country.
