Despite being declared dead from pet cobra’s bite, family refuses to bury son, hopes ritual can cure him

Seventeen-year-old Rizky Ahmad seemed to have genuine affection for his pet king cobra, which he had taken in after finding it caught in a net following a flood in his hometown of Palangkaraya in Central Kalimantan. His social media was filled with photos, such as the one above, of him playing and posing with the 3-meter-long reptile, which his family said he believed to be tame.

But as it goes in the fable, a snake cannot deny its nature. When Rizky brought the snake out to show it off at Palangkaraya’s Car Free Day event on Sunday, the cobra bit him in his right arm. The teenager reportedly shrugged it off and continued to play with his pet for around an hour before he felt the effects of the poison.

He was rushed to nearby Doris Sylvanus Hospital, where he was put in intensive care, given multiple doses of anti-venom and treated for 24-hours before doctors finally declared him dead.

But Rizky’s family refused to accept the doctors’ assessment and have taken his body home, believing their son still shows signs of life and that he could still be saved through means beyond medical science.

“Even though we have entered the second day, we still believe that our child has not died because his body is still warm and sweaty. We are still trying to perform a ritual so that our child can recover,” said Rizky’s father, Suwardi, when met by Kompas reporters at his home on Tuesday.

Reports say that, until at least last night, the family along with a pawang ular (an occupation that might loosely be translated as “snake shaman”) were still conducting the ritual aimed at bringing Rizky back. According to reports, the king cobra that bit him was placed in a box next to the bed upon which Rizky’s body had been laid and that, at times the snake had been placed in the bed with him as part of the ritual.

Dr. Theodorus Sapta Atmadja, who had helped treat Rizky at Doris Sylvanus Hospital, said that it was the family’s choice to perform the ritual on their child but that it was beyond the realm of medicine and neither the hospital nor the doctors who treated Rizky could endorse or be held responsible for the consequences.

Belief in the supernatural, including spiritual healing, remains prominent in some parts of Indonesia. The latest draft revision to the country’s criminal code includes laws that would make it a criminal offense for an individual to make claims of supernatural powers that could lead to the pain or suffering of others.

A four-year-old Indonesian boy, named Muhamad Mezut Ozil (undoubtedly after German soccer superstar Mesut Özil), has attracted national media attention over a claimed supernatural occurrence pertaining to his genitalia.

As reported by Merdeka, Ozil’s parents believe that he recently had his penis circumcised by a djinn — an Islamic genie — resulting in some swelling.

“He is a little sore right now. Maybe because of the swelling,” said Ozil’s mother, Haryani, as quoted by Merdeka yesterday.


Ozil, who lives with his family in the city of Depok, West Java, says he no longer feels pain and is now able to run around with his friends.

His parents did not indicate if they were going to have Ozil checked out by a doctor, in case, you know, he had a serious medical condition instead of encountering a snip-happy genie.

That’s perhaps because boys being circumcised by genies is quite a common urban legend in Indonesia. In April of last year, the family of a boy in West Jakarta also made the same genie claim, saying his penis was suddenly circumcised after he came home from playing with his friends.

Furthermore, making these boys go through an examination by a medical professional is probably tricky but should probably be mandatory in cases like this where there are elements of potential child abuse.

Most Indonesian boys, especially Muslims, remember their circumcisions because they are often carried out when they are around five year old before the onset of puberty. Many remember the operation with certain fondness, since circumcisions are traditionally a rite of passage into manhood rewarded with parties and presents.

Jakarta’s ‘rainbow roads’ for Asian Games go back to black and white after gov’t learns it’s against regulations

With the Jakarta Provincial Government deep into preparations for hosting the Asian Games, which begins on August 18, Governor Anies Baswedan’s administration has been getting hit with a constant barrage of criticism over its perceived lack of preparations for the massive sporting event, including controversies over a smelly canal curtain, temporary grass strips and other apparently ad hoc policies.

The latest colorful anecdote added to that pile of accusations concern the government’s decision to paint a large swathe of boring black and white cement road separators in some parts of the city, one of the first being Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta.

After people started noticing the roadblocks’ rainbow redesigns over the weekend, Anies was asked about it by the media and said that it was one of several steps take by the government to beautify the city before the Asian Games. He said that the makeover was just temporary and that they had only done it in late July as they were afraid the colors might have faded before the end of the games if they had repainted them earlier.

“The nature of Indonesia is that it’s hot and rainy, so we do not want the colors to fade during the Asian Games. This was all planned ahead of time, it was just executed in July,” Anies said on Sunday as quoted by Tribun.

Vice Governor Sandiaga Uno said that the roadblock repainting was the “people’s initiative” but then confusingly said that the Jakarta Provincial Government had asked the mayor of Central Jakarta to give some of the roadblocks in his part of the city the rainbow treatment. But then he also said he was pleased that citizens in some other parts of the city had taken the initiative on their own. Photos such as the ones below show that government workers did handle at least some of the rainbow painting.

Some Jakarta netizens seemed to like the colorful blocks while other made fun of them, such as this brilliant meme noting there resemblance to a real life version of the hardest track from the classic Nintendo racing game Mario Kart.

But many others questioned the decorative decision, noting that the reason the blocks were painted black and white was for safety concerns. However, the deputy head of the Jakarta Transportation Department, Sigit Wijatmiko, said on Sunday that the rainbow separators were not illegal because the law does not specify their color since their effectiveness was based only on their form, unlike a marker.

However, that reasoning apparently didn’t hold up to much scrutiny as, after just a few days of fabulousness, the separators were back in their original boring but better-in-terms-of-safety black-and-white paint jobs.

Anies explained the reason for this today by saying that Yusmada Gaizal, Jakarta’s assistant head of Development and the Environment, had informed him that the road separator blocks were indeed classified as road markers after all and thus were required to follow the color guidelines stipulated by the law for safety reasons.

“The Development assistant head yesterday explained that it’s important that we follow the provisions on road markings because their functions are not only aesthetics but also for safety,” Anies said today as quoted by Detik.

Jakarta Police officials explained that, while it wasn’t well known, the black and white separators were meant to signal to drivers that they were within a zebra crossing zone in which pedestrians might be traversing the road.

Although the cost of the error is not much more than that of the paint and labor for repainting them twice, to many it reflects a pattern seen in many of the Jakarta government’s temporary improvements for the Asian Games, such as the lack of cement walking paths in front of the bus stops on Jalan Sudirman’s newly laid but apparently temporary grass strips.

In another example of poor paint planning pointed out by memes below, Anies’ administration had also added rainbow color panels to the side of the Sentiong Canal, before the governor decided to cover the canal with a black nylon cloth to keep the canal’s foul appearance and smell from disturbing the visiting athletes staying in the nearby Wisma Atlet dormitory complex in Kemayoran.
