Jakarta. A defendant in a corruption case involving workplace safety certification at Indonesia’s labor ministry told a court that part of the illicit proceeds was used to support the 2024 legislative campaign of then manpower minister Ida Fauziyah. The statement was made by Irvian Bobby Mahendro during a hearing at the Jakarta anti-corruption court on Wednesday, as prosecutors from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) questioned him over the use of funds obtained from alleged extortion tied to occupational safety and health certification, known locally as K3. Irvian said the money, collected from companies seeking K3 certification, was used for personal…
Over the four years that Ukraine has been fighting to repel Russian forces from its territory, its country’s battlefields have become scarred by airstrikes, pockmarked by artillery fire, and littered with the wreckage of cheap aerial drones.The conflict has transformed the economics of modern warfare – with both sides now reliant on these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to monitor the battlefield, evade defences and strike deep into enemy territory. The fighting has so far kept Russia bogged down, trapped behind frozen frontlines, allowing Kyiv to remake the country’s industrial base to meet the needs of the war.Now Ukraine has a…

Bangkok Kunsthalle closes out Disco Hut with a softer kind of finale. Spencer Sweeney returns to the decks with selections pulled from his own shelves – loose, personal, and gloriously unconcerned with what an algorithm might recommend.

The temporary booth shifts away from full-throttle club energy and settles into something slower, stranger and more communal. People drift in, stay longer than expected and let the records take over. May 7. Free entry. Bangkok Kunsthalle. 7pm-11pm Source link

Every year, brands trim the fat to stay lean in a constantly evolving automotive landscape. The transition to electrification keeps manufacturers’ sights fixed on new horizons, with little regard for the past—apart from nostalgic designs and decals. There are still nameplates that keep providing what we enjoy most about cars: the fact that they still need a driver behind the wheel. It’s easy to find a new car that can change lanes, brake, parallel park, and even call first responders upside down. But, what makes a car boring is exactly all of that. For us at CarBuzz to have an…
