Indonesia's Power Outage and Its Economic Calamity

Electricity has become a part of humans' daily lives; so many advanced technologies and even simple household items are powered by electricity. Without it, many activities will go awry. However, last Sunday Jakarta, along with its outskirts (West Java and Banten), experienced city-wide electrical shutdown, that affected millions of lives. It went on for almost 7 hours before everything was on again. It was the worst power outage since 2005 when the whole Java and Bali experienced power outage due to transmission line fault which resulted in approximately 100 million of lives unable to do their activities.
