This week brought news on the planned location of Indonesia’s new capital city. The plan, announced in April, to move government functions out of gridlocked and sinking Jakarta will see construction commence in 2021, with government starting to move from 2023.
The location, we now know, will be East Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo, near to the city of Balikpapan.
This all sounds pretty exotic from a distance, and there seems to be some belief that the government will be relocated to remote jungle, rubbing shoulders with unknown tribes and orangutans.
