JUST a few days ago, Lalu Muhammad Zohri was not a name that many Indonesians knew. Today he is perhaps the most popular athlete in the country.

The 18-year-old sprinter won the men’s 100 metre final at International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World U20 Championships in Tampere, Finland on Wednesday, edging out the United States’ Anthony Schwartz and Eric Harrison with a time of 10.18 seconds.


It is the first time a Southeast Asian athlete has won the 100-metre dash at the international junior championships. The win also represented a new personal best for Lalu and a record U20 time for Indonesia and Southeast Asia. His time was just .01 seconds off Indonesia’s national record.

A press release from the IAAF said that Lalu “proved once again that it’s always unwise to discount those further afield.”

What a historical moment!

Hosted between the capital Jakarta and Palembang in South Sumatra, the Asian Games will kick off in his native Indonesia on Aug 18.

According to the Indonesian news portal Detik, Jokowi has ordered the ministry of public works to help renovate the runner’s family home in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara – one of the poorer provinces in the country of 260 million.

“I think not only me, but all the people of Indonesia would be happy and proud,” the president was quoted as saying.

“Thank you to the Indonesian president and all the people of Indonesia for their support and prayers,” Lalu said.

Sitinjau Lauik a 15 km national route in West Sumatra, in here "pak ogah" in charge of the traffic not the police.
Pak Ogah, is a young man guided by the Padang Police Traffic Unit. They stand guard 24 hours day and night all-weather to manage traffic in a number of sharp turns, such as in the panorama one and panorama two in the Sitinjau Lauik route.
With uphill road and sharp turn they really help those big trucks and buses.

The police just watching from the side.:D

ouch


fail

threesome truck....... fail

Indonesian truly legacy..this is real and not fake. Indonesian people is trully far a head in term of inner power. They do that all with inner energy, no need hi tech technology. I believe indonesian people anchestor and some of people in present time could do teleportation and fly. To see and communication with a ghost? its easy to some indonesian people. Anti ballistic body? there are many..and real!. But they humble and low profile.
To be wary, the haters (local or foreigner) always says that is magic, not logic, contrary scientific...then indonesian people will forget this inner power ability, (the knowlegde to awake the inner power).
I hope there are some indonesian people that always guard this knowledge and to be inherited to the young one.
Many people should have this ability, and indonesia will stronger and coud not be beaten.
