Jakarta – ⁣Comedian ⁤Narji Cagur is strategically ⁣investing in land as⁤ a long-term inheritance ⁤for his three sons, prioritizing their future financial ⁤security amid rising education costs.

Narji views land not merely as an asset, but as a steadily appreciating legacy for his children. Recognizing the uncertainties of the future, he’s‌ proactively building a portfolio of properties intended to be distributed among his sons.”We‍ don’t know their ⁤future, we don’t know the fate of our people. That’s why⁢ I’ve prepared, so coming in, number one has ⁢to come here, number two here, number three here.‍ There has to be a plan⁢ like that,right,” Narji stated on the FYP Trans 7 studio program on Friday,November 14,2025.

His wife, Widiyanti, supports this approach, emphasizing the stability adn growth potential of land and gold investments. “Yes, the value of land⁢ is ‌increasing every ‌year,‌ so why not?⁢ Land, gold, that’s all,”‍ she saeid. ‍

Currently, the couple is moderating land purchases to focus on funding their children’s upcoming college expenses. “It’s just that for now, it seems like we’re investing so ‍that sooner or later the kids will want to ⁤go to college, like that. So for land, we’re slowing ⁣down first, even⁤ though we want to do that, but we’re slowing down,”⁢ Widiyanti explained.

Narji feels a obligation to continue⁣ a family ⁣tradition of providing for future generations.”I have to continue. Because my grandfather died, I’m sorry, my grandfather died, he left a lot, and his grandson got it. ⁢Can’t I be⁣ like my grandfather?” he said.

The land⁢ holdings vary in size, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 square meters across different locations, according to⁢ Widiyanti.

Gen Z Drives a digital Revolution in Cellular Services with by.U

Indonesia’s cellular landscape is undergoing a transformation, driven by teh unique ⁢demands of Generation Z. Recognizing this ⁤shift, Telkomsel launched ‍by.U, a digitally-native operator designed⁤ to cater specifically to the‌ preferences‌ of this tech-savvy demographic. unlike traditional telecom companies, by.U offers a entirely digital subscription experience, from number selection adn SIM card purchase to package management and payment – all handled through a mobile application. SIM cards are delivered directly to the user’s ⁤home,eliminating the need for in-person queues and paperwork.

This approach mirrors the convenience of streaming services, offering⁤ flexibility, personalization, and ease of adjustment. According to VP brand⁤ & Marketing⁢ Communications at ‍Telkomsel, Emir G. Surya, by.U’s core advantages are built upon four key pillars tailored⁣ to Gen Z: flexibility, affordability, simple and transparent services, digital entertainment, and Telkomsel’s robust network. ⁤ Internet packages are‌ customizable, even offering active periods of under 14 days – a feature particularly appealing to students ‌- and are free of hidden‍ conditions. Data quotas are valid for 24 hours, and the SIM⁤ card remains active provided that connected to the Telkomsel network.

“And the fourth pillar is Telkomsel’s number 1 network, where by.U relies‍ on⁢ the widest and⁢ leading network to ensure Gen Z is always connected anytime, anywhere,” explained Emir.

Beyond connectivity,by.U⁢ integrates entertainment through its U-Tainment feature, offering ⁢access to⁣ music, videos, games, comics, and community features, alongside loyalty rewards and merchandise via U-Store. This aims to keep‍ users engaged within their preferred‌ digital ecosystems.

The communication strategy also diverges from traditional advertising. By.U focuses on building rapport through⁢ relatable language,meme culture,and collaborations with local communities,digital creators,and e-sports teams. Campaigns like “strange But True” highlight online behaviors common among ⁢Gen Z, such as extended livestreams and ⁣collaborative online gaming, emphasizing the importance of a fast and reliable signal.

Emir explained that this strategy reflects Gen Z’s character – a blend of spontaneity and progressiveness. They desire control over their data allowances ⁢but also require a consistently stable and accessible network. Packages like the “Super‌ Kaget” offering 7 GB for IDR 15 thousand for 14 days exemplify this‌ combination of affordability and ⁤quality.

As its user base expands, by.U is evolving beyond a simple data provider, becoming⁢ integrated into the digital lifestyles of young Indonesians.Further integration with entertainment platforms, e-wallets, student loyalty programs, and community⁢ features are planned to solidify its market position.

Ultimately,by.U ⁤is positioning itself as a “beyond connectivity” ecosystem, offering a complete digital⁣ experience encompassing music, gaming, community engagement, and exclusive ‌benefits tailored to Indonesia’s vibrant youth‌ culture.

With Gen Z continuing to dominate the national digital ‌landscape, operators like by.U are poised to⁢ play a critically important role in the future of cellular services in Indonesia.

Title: Teachers Ban ‘6-7′ Trend as Kids’ Mysterious Phrase Spreads

by Julia Evans – Entertainment Editor October 18, 2025

‘6-7‘ Disrupts Classrooms:⁣ The Viral Trend Sweeping Schools Explained

WASHINGTON – ‌ Classrooms across the country are experiencing a peculiar disruption: students ‌spontaneously shouting “6-7.” The⁣ seemingly random outburst ⁣is the latest viral trend taking hold among young people, leaving parents and educators‌ baffled. While the origin remains somewhat murky, experts say the phrase has become a generational code word, fueled⁢ by social media and a playful defiance of authority.

The trend’s roots appear to trace back to a March video⁣ posted ⁣by ⁢basketball influencer Cam Wilder on YouTube, capturing two teenagers at an Amateur Athletic Union game uttering “6-7” to the camera.⁢ More recently, Charlotte Hornets player⁢ LaMelo Ball, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall, amplified the trend by incorporating the phrase and associated‌ music into TikTok videos.

“Because ⁣there’s nothing that middle schoolers or elementary schoolers like more⁢ than to have teachers get upset and try to ⁢take action against⁤ something, especially if the something is impossible to ⁢ban,” explained⁤ Dr. Candice North, ‌a youth culture researcher. She notes the ‍inherent challenge in suppressing the ⁣phrase, as the numbers 6 and 7‍ are⁤ unavoidable in everyday life, even ⁢within⁢ educational settings – ‍appearing in math problems or‍ simply‍ as part of the date.

according to‌ north,”Six,seven” functions as a secret code,offering a sense of belonging ⁣and shared experience for kids. “It’s almost become a game because kids have realized that adults can’t avoid sometimes saying⁢ or being exposed to the numbers 6 and 7 because they’re a part of everyday life.” She confessed, with a PhD, ‌she’d deliberately seek out opportunities to say the numbers if a teacher forbade ‍it.

the rapid spread of “6-7” highlights the power of social media in accelerating generational trends, though their lifespan tends to be shorter than in the past. Previous viral phrases, like “skibidi”‍ – originating from a computer-animated video – have quickly faded from popularity.

Educational consultant Maria Trujillo suggests the trend may be a lighthearted response to ⁣the pressures facing young people. “When you think about all of the things that our kids go through in this age…maybe it’s this generation telling us‍ to lighten up a little.”
