Today’s briefing covers a range of topics from infrastructure readiness, incredible human resilience, to gaming industry success, reflecting the diverse dynamics of our global society. Starting with the Indonesian transportation scene, the Bakauheni Port’s readiness for the Eid al-Fitr homecoming return flow has been ensured by Transportation Minister Dudy Purwagandhi, as reported by ANTARA News. This assurance comes at a crucial time when a large number of people will be traveling back to their hometowns for the religious festival, putting immense pressure on the transport infrastructure.

The importance of infrastructure readiness can also be drawn from another unique story from Indonesia. Joni Manurung, a man from Medan, North Sumatra, embarked on a strenuous journey on foot to Jakarta that lasted 188 days. His purpose? To shake hands with President Prabowo Subianto during an open house event. This extraordinary journey illustrates the lengths people can go to meet their leaders, raising questions on the accessibility of public figures and the state of transport connectivity.

Shifting gears to the gaming industry, Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds has reached an impressive milestone by selling over 10 million units worldwide since its release on February 28, 2025. This success story, also reported by ANTARA News, underscores the thriving global gaming market and the increasing popularity of the Monster Hunter series, contributing significantly to Capcom’s revenue.

In conclusion, today’s briefing highlights the essential role of transport infrastructure in enhancing connectivity and facilitating important cultural practices in Indonesia. It also illuminates the extraordinary determination of individuals to reach their goals, and the booming success of the global gaming industry. These narratives, diverse as they are, interweave to form a compelling portrait of our interconnected world.
