Seems like people are not afraid of the law enforcer and there are still a lot of people going out and ignoring the stay home amid Covid-19. Gotta give it to Indonesia for coming up with this creative idea to scare people of from going out.<\/p>\nSeems like people are not afraid of the law enforcer and there are still a lot of people going out and ignoring the stay home amid Covid-19.

The news is that at Kepuh village in Indonesia has been haunted by ghosts recently where there are mysterious white figures jumping out at unsuspecting passersby, then gliding off under a full-moon sky.<\/p>\n
This is a way that the villager try to keep their people in door by deploying a special cast of \u201cghosts\u201d to patrol the streets, hoping that age-old superstition will keep people indoors and safely away from the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to be different and create a deterrent effect because the pocong is spooky and scary,\u201d said Anjar Pancaningtyas, head of a village youth group that coordinated with the police on the unconventional initiative to promote social distancing as the coronavirus spreads.<\/p>\n
Known as pocong, the ghostly figures are typically wrapped in white shrouds with powdered faces and kohl-rimmed eyes. In Indonesian folklore, they represent the trapped souls of the dead.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t working at first, where when they first started appearing this month they had the opposite effect. Instead of keeping people in, they bought them out to catch a glimpse of the apparitions.<\/p>\n
The organisers have since changed tack, launching surprise pocong patrols, with village volunteers playing the part of the ghosts.<\/p>\n
Maybe Singapore should try this. Lotsa elderly people are not listening and still roaming around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
