@BPJSKesehatanRI Indonesia's public health insurance, is in deficit because of smoking. 2019 it allocated between Rp 10.4 trillion (USD673 million) & Rp 15.6 trillion (USD1 billion) to cover costs attributed to smoking, or 61.2% to 91.8% of deficit (Meilisia et al., 2022)
Excise from tobacco products reached Rp 218.62 trillion (US $14.7 billion) in 2022 - more than 10% of all Indonesia's excise revenue (Nicha, 2022) #tobacco#smoking#rokok
TPS tutup di Yogya, jadi kota sampah. Orang tmbh membuang sembarangan dan membakar sampah. Turis gak suka pembakaran dan kotoran. Anak2 tambah penyakit ispa akibat asap pembakaran. Apakah ini kota kebanggaan Mataram? @pemkabbantul@humas_jogja@kabarsleman@dlhbantul@DLHkotayk

Disappointing coverage of Indonesia Australia fishing issues by @60Mins@thelizhayes. Didn’t explore history of Australia’s huge EEZ nor ask any Indonesian for their perspective. More shots of boys and guns than context or understanding. @ABCmediawatch https://t.co/5K8dca4QU1
