1. Luhut Reveals Why Elon Musk's Tesla Yet to Invest in Indonesia
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, has not yet invested in Indonesia due to China’s oversupply of electric vehicles (EVs), revealed Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan.
Luhut said that the American tycoon is still considering investments, including in Indonesia, due to China's competitive pricing.
“It seems that China's EVs are oversupplied and their prices are cheaper, so he is taking time to deliberate on potential investments,” Luhut said after the launch of the book Citarum Harum in Badung, Bali, on Monday, May 20.
2. Villa Construction in Bali Suspended Over Environmental Concerns
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno said that the villa construction project which dredged limestone cliffs in Pecatu Village, South Kuta District, Badung, Bali, has been temporarily suspended. The construction drew criticisms and concerns over Bali’s nature, as it’s one of the major attractions for tourists.
"Oh, it's a shame that a hotel is constructed there,” said Sandiaga Uno on Monday, May 20, 2024. "This villa (construction) has been suspended to check the permits.”
Previously, a video went viral on social media of the dredging of a limestone cliff, with pieces collapsing onto the beach. Niluh Djelantik, the video uploader, wrote that Bali does not need resorts that cut into cliffs.
3. Top 10 Most Turbulent Flights in the World; Mostly in China, Japan
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Turbulence is one of the things long-haul passengers dread most. This natural phenomenon can be more than just bothersome. In the worst case, violent vibrations can result in structural damage to the aircraft and even jeopardize passengers' safety.
Recently, the deadly turbulence on a Singapore Airlines flight from London to Singapore grabbed the global spotlight and sent people scrambling along the world's most unstable air routes.
Turbli, a turbulence forecasting site, analyzed more than 150,000 long-haul and short-haul flight records in 2023 to find out which flights encountered the most intense turbulence. It uses eddy dissipation rates (EDR) to determine the shock rating of each route, with levels of light (0-20), moderate (20-40), severe (40-80), and extreme (80-100).
