Water supply and sanitation in Indonesia is characterized by poor levels of access and service quality. Over 100 million people in Indonesia lack access to safe water and more than 70 percent of the country’s 220 million population relies on water obtained from potentially contaminated sources. With only 2% access to sewerage in urban areas is one of the lowest in the world among middle-income countries.

Keep Your Hands Writing

Great authors usually try to vent the expression to be able to find its distinctive strengths. Himself willing to compromise on a common standard the world of writing, considering the interest of readers to produce work that is clear, explorative, and strong.

( Anwar Holid, from books "Keep Your Hand Moving")

Have you ever felt that seemed your hands don't want to stop writing? When the ideas comes across your head, seem it doesn't want to be stopped. It flow like a river. But sometimes it locked when you need the open mind to spread out the ideas. That is what mostly writters do. When desire of writing come, you can not handle it, can not stop it.

At its peak there is a "skewer" with 6 fruit skewers ornaments (other versions say pink water or jasmine), which represents 6 million guilders - the amount of fees that are used to build Gedung Sate.


Facade (front side) Gedung Sate very calculated. By following the north-south axis axis (which is also applied in Pakuan Building, which overlooks Mount Malabar in the south), Gedung Sate is not deliberately built facing Mount Tangkuban Perahu in the north.


In the course initially provided to the Department of Traffic and Public Works, even become the center of the Dutch East Indies after Batavia will not qualify as a center of government since its development, which is used by the Public Works Department. Dated December 3, 1945 there was an incident which claimed the lives of seven young men who defend Gedung Sate of Gurkha troops attack.
