Sandiaga will continue to promote halal on Bali and it's no different for much of the government. Slowly they are trying to turn Bali and Papua majority muslim.
North bali does have a few mosques on the road before negara ,but they are under control vo;ume wise and prayer times , in the south ya there are mosques , but unless you live within 50 to 100 metes ,you never hear them .
The other Islands are a free for all ,the frequency of new construction and volume increases unabated , Scary for sleep peace and health .
Not my cup of tea for sure !

The culture is of not working very hard, taking frequent breaks, shutting down for a month every year, not caring about education standards, having disrupted sleep and being tired at school or at work etc. All these things added together do not create a culture of high achievement and never will.
Hey, we found an aspect of the Indonesian culture! We were debating in another thread if there is an Indonesian culture 🤣

Let us not forget tropical lassitude. This is planet-wide and not restricted to Islamic countries.

On lack of sleep - since health experts recommend sleeping 7-8 hours a day, and people mention hearing loudspeakers starting at 3:30 am, that means ... to get enough sleep you have to be asleep by 7:30-8:30 PM?

Someone please check my math

That's why you see a lot of people working in shops sleeping under the counter
And when they 'kerja' making a lot of mistakes, sorry to say.
Not health expert, not excel in math
Just a TKI looking for sesuap nasi, have been working 35 years in 8 countries, 19 years as principal technical expert, subject matter expert, & technical authority at top 5 IOC.
I always wake early, before 04:30 am everyday including weekend; indeed sleep early before 09:00 PM - I consider myself fit at least for my age. had a time in the morning for jogging or treadmill 8-10km/day, not less than 50km per week.
never slept even once at work place (including WFH)
Yes, far from perfect, I do make mistakes in my "kerja"

Sounds like a fun life
Shouldn't you be enjoying life at your age? Work less. Travel more? Relax!

Sure, I love traveling and outdoor activities, such as scuba diving and hiking. Lucky to get 43 working days of annual leaves, not bad to enjoy life. Work smartly but not less than supposed to be.
play tennis every weekend. Play badminton twice a week.
need to be fit to enjoy those activities.

Good for you Wisnu! I don't think expecting an entire country to work like that is realistic though?

Speaking for myself I am a B-person - I work best when I wake up a bit later and work until later.

The beef many of us have is with loud noises disturbing our sleep, I feel the same way about noises late at night as with noises super early in the morning - looking at Germany and France with envy with some of their noise pollution laws
