Could you cover South Korea's current political systems? I'm still amazed and curious as to how the Korean citizens have impacted the ex-president's impeachment.

@Na Ma *Free bocil lol*

Europeans ruined everything....

Its karma for what they are doing in West Papua

Developing a piping system to deliver water from the aquifers will not prevent the city from sinking? Your still removing water faster then its replaced. Im not understanding the emphasis put on the lack of piping causing this problem?

It only matters if rich people are affected i don't care about poor people if us rich people have a problem it should be fixed we matter not the poor people

I Know what the civillian saying...

JAkarta INDONESIA. .. INDONESIA. .

Looks like no one in this country really care about this. They were being way too ignorant and careless. Even though the citizens here knows about this, do you expect them to do something about it? They'll probably just stay at their home, praying to God for mercy and blessings. It's sad to see this historical land is going to sink, soon. If we don't do anything about this, we might risk billions of lives in danger. The other foreign's media pays more attention than this country's media and citizens.

Dutch people were A S S H O L E S....thinking themselves superior to indigenous Indonesians!!

as a dutchman, i can only say: je moet je bek houden want ik had je vader kunnen zijn als je moeder niet zo duur was.

25 cm per year?! That is incomprehensible

The lopsided pakistan gully spray because stream subcellularly chew along a obsolete state. sharp, wealthy gray

i dont like colord people

we should take Jakarta, and PUSH IT somewhere else !

My city was also built on a swamp but lucky for us also built in the middle of the country so we can't really sink into the ocean. This is heartbreaking. All these people losing everything.

1:57 i thought they were ganna say because they aren't subbed to vox

Unrelated to the topic but, I wanna learn how you make these videos. The slight coppyness of the animations looks polished

On 02:48, think about this Jakartans, Governor Anis said rain downpour should entered the soil instead of align it to the sea. He's not wrong then?

I'm looking for a comment that says: "Raised to the ground?"

Maybe Atlantis become real if this keep happening.

very informative

Make the Dutch government pay to modernize the water distribution to all Jakarta's citizens

Can we start blaming these colonizers for ruining countries’ culture, belief, traditions and depleting OUR resources for THEIR own gains!?

Vox ini mengada-ada. Jakarta itu tenggelam karena melanggar sunnatullah.

At the very beginning , a pagoda style mosque ??? That shape is a Hindu temple , isn’t it ? Okay this video ends in 15 seconds 😂😂😂 with causes and solutions for the drowning Indonesia.

8:55 Orange Dude : "Did someone say *WALLS* ?"

another day another take on how bad the impact of colonialism is.. 😁 I love it lol. Thanks vox!!

Wonderful Jakarta

Maybe instead of focusing your energy on worshipping things you can't even know exist, you should focus your energy on what you can know.

people in the future discovering remains of jakarta : "is this Atlantis?"

Malu bro

To my fellow indonesians.. Don't live in jakarta if you can.

The powerful pink grossly blot because leg substantially prefer concerning a sour tax. magical, difficult skiing

It's still boggling me how you mostly blame the Dutch. No one in Indonesia and Jakarta blame Dutch for the bad city planning, it's the peoples and the government problems

Thanks for this video coverage and documentary......

This documentary puts an emphasis on the responsibility of the Dutch designers and lack of maintenance of the canals thereafter. It is just briefly mentioned that Jakarta's population rose from 1,5 M in 1950 (Indonesia's independence) to about 11 M today, making of the distribution of the piped water a quite different challenge than 70 years ago. And clearly, during this time period, the Indonesian government didn't do much for his people, though its financial resources were important.

Wow that is the EXACT SAME Thing I was thinking...like the entire point of telling the history was to place blame Like you're really going to blame something that happened in 1600 to why the system is failing in 2021....and after showing how other neighboring regions were able to solve the same problem.....just wow

Yeah, that bothered me as well, big emphasis in the evil conquerors (which of course they always are) and quite little about the insignificant effort of the actual government to fix things. Btw, the news outlets there seldom talk about this problem, I wonder why.

That bird shaped island is such a joke proposal.

orang indonesia dekil2 ya.. jarang mandi..

dutch's fault

Tempat tinggal saya di bogor, dan setiap bogor hujan,pasti jakarta yang banjir:'

What horrors CAN’T colonialism do? what a horrific legacy.

Seems like most of the problems in the world today are one way or another connected to colonialism or western imperialism 🙄

Biarin dah biar seluruh dunia tau, nh loh indonesia

This case will never end!! coz u know what Indonesian citizen mindset is "what ever the leader is capable or not, as long as they're Muslim it's ok, we support them" smh🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Actually Jakarta has a lot of good things, but in this video what is shot is only bad

@Mini M I also don't know because I'm not the president

a lot of good things built on sinking ground. How about build pipes for people first instead of skyscrapers and malls

Save myanmar

Save Myanmar

Malu bro

udah tau dr smp sekara umur 25 org jakarta pada sadar ya

i already know this since jhs thanks vox

Really interesting video. Storm ponds help with collecting water as well.

jakarta is killing itself....

Thank you for this educational video- I did not know that sinking was such a serious problem in Jakarta. Instead of planning to move the capital city to elsewhere, the Indonesian government should seriously think of ways to solve the problem.

Good documentary, but you forgot to mention how overpopulated Jakarta is. It's not all Dutch's fault.

I agree, it’s not all the dutch fault, but I think it was a take that specifically highlight on how ridiculously BAD and WIDE the impact of colonialism is.

It’s kinda self explanatory to me. The dutch made Jakarta its’ center for trades, governance, etc and it attracts + nurture modern civilization until now. In a way, that caused significant reason for people to keep moving in to Jakarta. That’s why the government is planning to move our capital city, or at least to move the whole governing thing on another place, making a concept of washington U.S. and new york city or some sorts. I’d doubt it’d become less populated but lets see🙁 at this point they have to move at an URGENT pace or else time will run out

I am from flores indonesia..smart explanations👋👋👋👋

Very gud

00:39 Alright, alright, but what has Jakarta been thinking about for so long?

what make me sad about this is jakarta lacks the political will to solve this issue. The solution is already there but no one is stepping up.

The Dutch need to read that bible

Two words: so devastating.

The whole world is sinking and you will never be able to explain why scientifically therefore scientists will continue to baffle themselves with numbers for measurements from wind to fire to planets and earthquakes never seeing that numbers never do uphold anything.

True all sinking in north,Tanjung Priok,and in kota any building inside land too,in Kota or old city Jakarta

When your mom gives you a new shirt and you ignore your old clothes because you don´t need them anymore ,cause you already have found a new, better, and clean one

In this kind of situation the people and residents are the one´s who´s suffering and the government and the media are ignoring them as if Jakarta doesn´t exist .

News : Jakarta is sinking Indonesian Government: Okay cool we have to move our capital in other places😴 People : 😑

The worst thing is, the government doesn't care about this.

We are sinking and our government still corrupt. They never hear us, they muted us.

Miris saat media luar negeri jauh lebih peduli dengan keadaan Jakarta, sementara media nasional justru memberitakan hal2 yg tidak penting. We are so left behind.

British: We exploited half of the world. Spaniards: We plundered South America. Dutch: Hey, I have an achievement too. I looted Indonesia .I’m in the league too.

What absolute chads. I kneel.

Just as I look at the title, I already know that this is because of plumbing or what we call sumur bor. it’s not just the poor, the rich use them too to reduce the pipe water cost. They use it for anything but bath and consumption. All that talk about moving the capital city, who knows if the people of borneo will totally agree with that. Despite saying bhineka tunggal ika, we are separated in our own races here.

😂😂😂 indo people won't understand English... Therefore, it is hardly to see comments from indo nitizen...

KASIHAN YA JAKARTA

JAKARTA BAKAL TENGGELAM 2030 ATAU 2040 ATAU 2050. OIL & GAS INDONESIA ⛽⛽⛽

JAKARTA BAKAL TENGGELAM 2030 ATAU 2040 ATAU 2050. OIL & GAS INDONESIA ⛽⛽⛽

Itu yang Sok Sokan bacot katanya bisa ngatasi banjir.. bahkan sampai ada yg berani potong tangan segala... Matanya suruh nonton video ini dulu.. biar ngibulnya lebih di perhalus lagi.

That's why Indonesia need a new Capital City, in central Indonesia.

And the rich attract themselves towards Bali while the country's capital is ruining. What a shame. Some things will never just change.

Its kampung not kampong..

why not plant mangrove trees.

Alternative title: How Jakarta is trying to copy Venice in an extreme way.

maybe Because of the cracked ice burg on antarctica

Very sad reality

Negara rendang

Wkwkw Indonesia

So it's worst case scenario.

Is any other city sinking as rapidly as Jakarta right now? This is the beginning of a common trend, it deeply saddens and conflicts me as I notice citizens of poor countries suffering at the hands of other people's resources. Society must change

Mexico city has a worse lack of water situation, but it's not on the ocean, so it doesn't get flooded as badly.

there are many, but unfortunately Jakarta is the fastest.

Your comment makes no sense.

Yes but the crust has been going up and down for the entirety of earth's history. How can we know do something about this problem? - Republicans, probably

Jakarta: Ｓｉｎｋｓ Goverment: ok we're move to Borneo

That's very Old

GK bisa bahasa enggres

Ada subtitle Indonesia

That's what happens when you say to Dutch to go away.

The thing is, the Dutch can handle the sea rise and the sea floods, but not the sinking

*MERDEKA ATAU MATI!*

The Jakarta's Govenor said when flood just wait the water enter the ground

:((((

Before mask

Yet, some of us choose to be ignorant.

maybe Because of the cracked ice burg on antarctica

"The reason why Indonesia is sinking is because most of the people dont have enough water" Well... problem solved.

w

HAHA.

This video is so good. Wholesome. Indonesian itself could never.

Its ok Allah will save them, go pray to him some more

Don't just pray to God all the time, do something. Your wish to God will be denied by God himself if we didn't act something

I still don't understand the difference in definition between inundation and flood. Because our government sometimes say it inundation instead of a flood.

I love seeing Mosques collapse

*bruh*
