Black Magic called "Corruption and Incompetence"

[TheEd]

it's not black magic, it's lack of money.

[dinomars]

Ain't no way government officials blaming black magic rather than their incompetence 💀💀💀

[buddyman]

Fun fact - black magic doesn't work for corruptor😅

[c.o.y]

Your new capital project is about to implode on it self.

Blame the lack of preparation, planning, and unrealistic target implemented by the government and the constructors. ❌️

Blame Black magic for it. ✅️

[Sara-cywo]

They failed at delivering Nusantara and now are trying to find a justification to the failure 😂

[benlim]

Wow, blaming the local Kalimantan people for their failure to deliver the project now are we?

[mariamavi]

The black magic is called greediness and corrruption.

[sepakai]

actually the forest/land cleared for IKN/Nusantara is nothing compared to the land converted to oil palm plantation.

Saya Penduduk asli Suku Dayak di Kalimantan Barat.. Situasi di Kalimantan aman aman saja, gak ada santet atau apapun itu... Dalam hal Magis kami memang kental menyanjung Kebudayaan leluhur kami, tetapi bukan untuk menyakit siapa pun..

[geekTroperaku]

How the fark do they expect the new capital to be majority funded by foreign investors?

[yohanawu]

What kind of nonsense is this? This is the worst episode in this channel. Your source is very bias. Santet exist in all over Indonesia. You dont have to move to Kalimantan to be at risk of getting santet thrown at you. Santet happen daily in where there are the most people living together and where business is booming, which is Jawa Island.

I've heard rumors that some tribe can't enter other certain tribal areas if they don't want to be affected by the black magic. But for most Indonesians, black magic is not something to believe in but also not something to oppose, they only carry it out as a procession of an event.

[arisuryaramadhan]

"Santet" is a specific black magic from Javanese, we in Borneo have different type of black magic, but sometime serve the same purpose.

I know it seems funny, but black magic is very common in Indonesia. You may don't see the black magic, but you can see the victim got it.

Even so, what importance about new capital is its management. People use black magic when they hate us, and the new capital should not causing people to hate the program.

I mean, do the program properly, and dont make any damage to the civilian house or property.

[dadarmwn]

Dayak's black magic is more powerful than the Javanese one 😂

[XLeon_S_KennedyX]

When destroying one island is not enough. They had to destroy borneo island

[chaosland]

It's because they are destroying the natural habitat. And that island is sacred to the local tribe. Destroying the environment in the name of development is already a bad sign.

[namazlur]

The natives of sepaku were evicted, their lands bought with lower price & the payment was problematic. Some get it some did not.

[Lee.Hsien-Yung]

Kalimantan is very famous for its Dayak tribe

[verper]

You can laugh at how it seems like an under developed country who believed in supernatural beings..Until you experienced it yourself..😅
Even former doctors which deployed to Borneo to fulfilled their mandatory PTT programme wouldn't dare to touch / eat the food that locals gave to them..
The dayak tribes magic is so strong..And for those who ask so why did many palm oil bussiness could ravage the island's forest, the companies also use magic by powerful shamans to counter the locals..Many also use sacrifices called tumbal (human/animal) to tamed the local magic..
