Join Wempy Dyocta Koto in this thought-provoking episode of "Indonesia with Wempy Dyocta Koto," where he navigates the intricate and controversial journey of relocating Indonesia's capital from the bustling, sinking metropolis of Jakarta to the ambitious new city of Nusantara on Borneo. Explore the deep environmental concerns surrounding this monumental shift as Borneo's rich biodiversity faces unprecedented risks. Is Nusantara a groundbreaking vision for Indonesia's future or a reckless gamble with profound consequences? 


Wempy draws on his personal experiences and expert insights to dissect the socio-political, financial, and ecological implications of this $32.5 billion endeavour. With the initial phase of construction well underway, questions about sustainability, governance, and the displacement of indigenous communities loom large. As Indonesia stands at a crossroads, this episode challenges listeners to critically examine whether Nusantara can truly symbolise progress or if it risks becoming a cautionary tale of ambition gone awry. 


Tune in for a compelling discussion filled with urgency and hope as we envision an Indonesia that prioritises its people and the planet over unchecked greed and corruption. Don't miss this opportunity to understand a pivotal moment in Indonesia's history!
