The Ministry of P2MI launched [00:00:30] free 24-hour teleconsulting services for Indonesian migrant workers [00:00:34] around the world. This service is aimed at helping [00:00:37] PMIs overcome various mental [00:00:40] health [00:00:43] problems. This service is a collaboration between the Ministry of P2MI and [00:00:46] BPJS Ketenagakerjaan and BPJS Kesehatan. Through [00:00:49] online counseling, PMIs can consult about work [00:00:53] problems, adaptation with employers, and even personal [00:00:57] and family issues. The counseling is conducted via Zoom [00:01:00] meetings with scheduling adjusted to the time zone of the [00:01:03] host country. In the initial stage, the Ministry of P2MI has prepared [00:01:07] three psychologists in Solo and will add more [00:01:10] psychologists through collaboration with the Indonesian Psychological [00:01:13] Association. PMIs can register via hotline or [00:01:17] email to get a counseling schedule. [00:01:40] This is in accordance with the direction of Mr. President Purabowo that it is important [00:01:43] for us to provide protection, [00:01:45] well, protection [00:01:48] before placement, during placement, and after placement. Well, [00:01:51] this telecounseling is part of our effort [00:01:55] to provide protection when they work abroad, [00:01:58] besides providing health insurance services [00:02:01] and so on, there is also [00:02:19] those who are full of questions [00:02:23] who choose to remain silent. We must remember that power belongs [00:02:27] to the people, sovereignty belongs to the people. We must exercise [00:02:31] power for the sake of the people. This is a place for policymakers [00:02:34] to answer all questions, as well as a space for [00:02:38] the people to understand their value to the country. [00:02:41] Indonesian Priority, every Monday to Friday at [00:02:44] 30 in the afternoon. [00:02:47] A new day, new hope. How will [00:02:51] today unfold? Will it be full of smiles or [00:02:54] the opposite? But one thing is for sure, the energy and inspiration to [00:02:57] start the day are here from various agendas in Indonesia today, [00:03:01] understanding various issues, to direct interaction with [00:03:04] key sources. Get information that is easy [00:03:08] to digest with a simple delivery. [00:03:11] Good morning Indonesia every day only on Metro [00:03:15] TV. [00:03:22] Viewers, the haze caused by forest and land fires in Indonesia has once again [00:03:25] crossed the border. Singapore and Malaysia are shrouded [00:03:29] in unhealthy air pollution. Public activities are also [00:03:31] disrupted, and some schools have even been forced to close. [00:03:47] The usually clear Singapore sky is now covered by a blanket [00:03:51] densely populated residential areas located on of haze. The iconic Marina Bay Sands building is barely [00:03:53] visible, swallowed by the smoke from forest and land fires [00:03:57] in Indonesia. [00:04:31] um, that environment for like the workers to work in also, [00:04:34] especially those who work at an open space. [00:04:38] Similar conditions also hit the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur. [00:04:42] The Petronas Twin Towers and the Merdeka 118 building appeared [00:04:46] hazy behind the smoke haze that enveloped the city. [00:04:49] Residents complained of shortness of breath, dry throats, and coughing when [00:04:53] doing activities outdoors. The impact of the haze [00:04:56] even spread to the world of education. The Ministry of Education [00:05:00] Malaysia ordered the closure of schools in Kuala Lumpur and [00:05:03] Putrajaya amid public concern for the safety [00:05:07] of children. The [00:05:10] no indication of bribery haze situation is getting worse and worse. Every time I want to [00:05:13] go to the mosque to pray Friday prayers, I feel a little short of breath because [00:05:16] the area is indeed dry. I always make mistakes if [00:05:20] I don't wear a mask, I will feel like [00:05:23] every time I walk, I will feel short of breath. Also, when I [00:05:26] started walking in this area, [00:05:29] you can see the thickness [00:05:33] of the haze, it is indeed very thick. [00:05:37] Responding to the impact of this cross-border haze, the Indonesian government [00:05:40] stated that it has established communication with Malaysia. [00:05:44] Indonesia emphasized that efforts to handle forest fires are continuously being accelerated [00:05:47] by deploying more than 60,000 personnel and dozens of air [00:05:51] fleets to reduce the impact of the widespread smoke that has reached [00:05:54] neighboring countries. We have communicated [00:05:58] with them. I have also spoken with the Malaysian [00:06:02] Foreign Minister, and [00:06:05] we have also explained the steps that have been [00:06:08] taken by Indonesia. We have already deployed [00:06:12] more than 60,000 personnel, and [00:06:15] we have also deployed [00:06:20] around 48 helicopters [00:06:23] and planes for water bombing [00:06:27] and also weather modification. When [00:06:30] forest and land fires in Indonesia remain [00:06:33] uncontrolled, the impact is not only felt by citizens in the country [00:06:37] but also by communities in neighboring countries. [00:06:40] The challenge now is not just to extinguish the fires, but to [00:06:44] ensure the air is clean again and that similar [00:06:47] incidents [00:06:48] do not recur. [00:06:52] The Indonesian government understands the concerns of Malaysian and Singaporean citizens [00:06:55] regarding the forest fire smoke that is surrounding the two countries. Head of the [00:06:59] Communication Agency, Shah Ganda Nainggolan, said that the forest fire smoke that [00:07:02] crossed the border is beyond human error or [00:07:06] human error because it is a natural phenomenon. With [00:07:10] Malaysia, it's quite good that we are [00:07:13] also trying to explain to them, [00:07:16] we don't just send smoke, but [00:07:20] if there's no smoke, we send oxygen, right? [00:07:24] The oxygen for Singapore and Malaysia comes from our forests, [00:07:27] so we also ask all [00:07:31] our neighbors to understand that this is beyond [00:07:35] human, beyond our human error. This is truly [00:07:39] nature. Then the [00:07:42] Malaysian Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim [00:07:45] sent his Foreign Minister to [00:07:49] our Foreign Minister to detail discussions so that [00:07:52] they can jointly overcome the forest fires. After [00:07:56] the fire that burned down about 500 residents' homes due to forest fires in [00:07:59] South Bangka Regency, hundreds of residents returned to [00:08:03] their respective homes on Monday afternoon to salvage remaining items that could still [00:08:07] be saved. Although thick smoke and [00:08:10] haze from in Serdang Hamlet, Jelutung [00:08:14] 2 Village, South Bangka [00:08:18] Regency still covered the area, it did not deter residents [00:08:22] affected by the fire from returning to their homes to look for [00:08:25] valuable items. Residents [00:08:28] together collected iron and other valuable items that could be sold [00:08:32] again to help with living [00:08:35] expenses. Residents now hope for housing assistance from the government [00:08:39] because they currently have to survive in refugee camps [00:08:42] without bringing any belongings that were burned [00:08:44] down. [00:08:49] Previously, last Saturday, forest and land fires that hit Serdang [00:08:52] Hamlet in South Bangka Regency spread to residential [00:08:56] areas. The large fire and strong winds [00:08:59] caused the fire to quickly spread to [00:09:03] the peatland. Panic-stricken residents [00:09:06] could only save what little belongings they had from the large fire [00:09:10] that surrounded the residential area. The fire was only successfully [00:09:13] extinguished on Sunday morning. The Bangka Belitung Provincial Disaster Management Agency [00:09:16] recorded that around 500 houses with 1800 people were [00:09:19] affected by this fire. [00:09:32] The government continues to accelerate the handling of forest and land fires or [00:09:36] Karhutla, which has been ongoing for about 4 months [00:09:39] through strengthening task forces both in the air and [00:09:42] on the ground. The government also prepared a national peat and mangrove management [00:09:46] body to prevent Karhutla from continually [00:09:49] recurring. We are currently [00:09:52] carrying out various monitoring activities, [00:09:55] which will clearly be a study [00:09:58] to [00:10:01] take the best steps. [00:10:04] But it is clear that the president has ordered [00:10:08] the TNI, police, and local government, [00:10:11] including the community, everyone [00:10:14] to jointly resolve [00:10:17] and take [00:10:21] the best steps for the resolution of the Karhutla. [00:10:25] The handling of the [00:10:28] complete extinguishing, from the air task force, to the [00:10:32] ground task force, [00:10:34] then also [00:10:38] efforts to continue to provide [00:10:41] socialization, education, and regulatory [00:10:44] improvements are all being encouraged, including how [00:10:48] to prepare the [00:10:51] Peat Restoration Agency to become [00:10:56] a more flexible agency in the future to face and [00:11:00] prevent forest fires from truly [00:11:03] happening. [00:11:06] Forest and land fires, which are still occurring in Central Kalimantan and have been happening [00:11:09] since early June, have resulted in worsening air quality in Palangkaraya [00:11:13] City, Central Kalimantan. [00:11:17] Palangkaraya City [00:11:20] recorded 6,258 [00:11:25] hotspots in Central Kalimantan, with [00:11:28] 657 of them detected in the Palangkaraya [00:11:31] City area. [00:11:34] The poor air quality is also a concern from a health [00:11:37] perspective. Palangkaraya City Government data recorded 84 cases [00:11:41] of acute respiratory infections or ISPA on [00:11:44] October 12, 2026. Amid [00:11:47] these conditions, the public is advised to reduce outdoor [00:11:51] activities, wear appropriate masks, and maintain their condition.

Editorial Media [00:15:27] Indonesia Monday to Friday at 7 [00:15:30] AM. [00:20:07] The Supreme Court affirmed that it will not tolerate acts of violence and [00:20:11] intimidation experienced by judge and spokesperson of [00:20:15] the Pati District Court, Central Java, Retno Lastiani. [00:20:18] The Supreme Court also stated that it had clarified the accusation of receiving 1 billion [00:20:22] rupiahs as stated by the coordinator of the Pati Bersatu Community Alliance [00:20:26] or AMPB, Supriono, alias [00:20:28] Botok. Supreme Court spokesperson Heru Pramono [00:20:32] revealed that in addition to condemning the act, the Supreme Court, through the supervisory [00:20:36] body, has also examined and [00:20:39] clarified the accusation of 1 [00:20:43] billion rupiahs in bribes.
