The new capital of Indonesia is ruined even before the move (6 photos)

They want to move the capital in Indonesia, it's too cramped, inconvenient in Jakarta for such a large and important city.





In addition, it stands on constantly subsiding soils, which are also washed away during regular floods. So they started building everything according to the rules - the new capital was supposed to be a city in Borneo.



The President even asked shamans to perform a ritual in the new place so that the spirits would not be angry at the new capital, for which the forest was cut down

And they have already invested 32 billion dollars in it. And they have already managed to ruin everything before the population arrived! Let tourists in! But they are not the main ones in this trouble. On the contrary, additional income from curious people who want to visit the empty capital goes to the city and its improvement.





Construction-construction-construction! But will people really live there?

But here's the problem - tourists throw garbage everywhere, and there are no municipal utilities in Nusantara on a regular basis yet. There are bins, but they are rarely taken out, because they did not expect that there would be so many people here yet, and that they would produce so much garbage. And rats began to breed and grow fat very quickly on this garbage. In recent days, videos of rodents scurrying through the crowds in Nusantara for the Eid al-Fitr holiday have been circulating on Indonesian social media.



There's construction going on everywhere, so why clean it up? The tourists decided

This used to be a wooded, hilly area. Naturally, there were many old rat nests there, which were simply supplied with food. To deal with the rat infestation, the Nusantara Metropolitan Administration has installed hundreds of rat traps and promised to take additional sanitary measures. All to prevent the city's reputation from being tarnished any further before it becomes the most high-tech city in the country.



By the way, they promise to make the new capital the cleanest in the world. You can't catch up with the Japanese!

Construction began in earnest in 2022, and the city was ultimately supposed to accommodate up to 1.9 million residents. But photos of rats scurrying around construction zones, some even chasing frightened tourists, contrast very strongly with the pictures of visionaries of what the city of the future should be like. Or maybe Indonesia just immediately built a cyberpunk capital and decided to start from scratch.



High-tech houses above, rats below - classic!
