JAKARTA - Residents of Kampung Pinang, Tangerang City welcomed the moment of the 75th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia by holding a competition on August 17. They sank into euphoria. As if there is no pandemic in their village.

Monday, August 17, dozens of residents gathered on an empty lot. The areca climbing competition became a magnet that unified the crowd. Great desire clung to the shoulders of the participants. They work together to reach the top for the various prizes that have been prepared by the committee.

A good spirit, of course. However, unfortunately, in the midst of a pandemic situation, such a crowd is just worrying. This dilemma has been captured by our photojournalist, Irfan Meidianto.
