Two teens from Bekasi diagnosed with mobile gaming addiction


The Jakarta Post
Jakarta / Thu, October 17, 2019 / 04:35 pm

Two teenagers in Bekasi, West Java, are reportedly so addicted to mobile


gaming that a local foundation has diagnosed them with a mental health disorder.
According to Marsan, the head of Al Fajar Berseri Tambun Selatan
foundation, the two teens, 17-year-olds from South Cikarang and Cibitung, have
been undergoing treatment at the foundation for a year.
"This is a real example of extreme mobile phone usage caused by the
advancement of mobile games," Marsan told Antara news agency on Thursday.
In their daily lives, the two teenagers are rarely seen engaging in social
interaction.
"They are usually quiet most of the time, but whenever they see a mobile
phone, they will automatically grab it, take it and play with it. For example, when
there is a phone that is being charged, they will just take it. This happens because
they are too addicted to mobile phones," Marsan explained.
According to their families, the teens’ addiction to mobile gaming began when
they took up the habit of playing games all throughout the night. The addiction also
affected their academic lives as previously the two were frequently absent from
school.
"They even forget to eat. Even worse, when they are prohibited [from
accessing mobile phones], they will get very emotional. Not only do they become
furious, but they will also act out against their parents," he said.
Marsan explained that the two teenagers were not the first to experience
mobile gaming addiction. One patient from Medan who was diagnosed with the
same disorder received a four-month treatment program before he was sent home.
Access to mobile games, Marsan further explained, had to be controlled by
parents as they had a big role in preventing this kind of behavior from developing at
an early age.
Muhammad Rozak, a commissioner at the Bekasi branch of the Commission
of Child Protection (KPAD), said technology could have a negative impact on
children.
Although he has yet to receive any report on mental health disorders caused
by mobile gaming addiction, he said that several cases of violence were triggered by
mobile phone usage.
"For example, in cases of student brawls, they are mostly triggered by mobile
phone usage. The same goes with child molestation, which mostly starts with access
to porn sites and/or adult applications on mobile phones," Rozak said.
According to Rozak, KPAD Bekasi gets seven to 10 reports monthly of
violence against children, with 30 percent of cases involving mobile gaming.
"There were seven cases in October. Some of them were caused by mobile
games. Frequent exposure to violence affects children, getting them involved in
crime or even acts of molestation," Rozak said.
"Parents should not be dictated by the kids. Parents should take control of the
gadgets in children’s hands – not the other way around.” (trn)

A survey has found about 13 percent of first-time smokers in the country are junior
high school students. It also revealed 89 percent of young female employees were
smokers.

The survey was conducted in five major cities across the country, including
Surakarta in Central Java.

Muhammad Syahril Mansyur, the Surakarta Health Agency’s respiratory illness


division, said that the finding of the survey showed an alarming growth rate of
Indonesian smokers. "This situation is a cause for concern,” he said. “It appears the

Indonesia has embarked on the task of counting its islands in order to better protect
its territory and marine resources. It hopes to locate and name an additional 1,700
islands in time for the UN Conference on the Standardization of Geographical
Names in August. Indonesia wants to claim sovereignty and fishing rights in the
waters surrounding the islands, many of which its neighbors also claim.

The Indonesian government says illegal fishing in its waters is costing billions of
dollars in lost revenue each year. A fisheries spokeswoman told the BBC: "Sixty per
cent of islands in Indonesia don't have a name or officially have legal status, so they
can easily be taken or claimed by another country."
Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago. At the last UN conference on
geographical names in 2012, Indonesia registered 13,466 islands. A law in 1996
estimated that the number of islands was 17,508. The UN Convention on the Law of
the Sea defines an island as, "a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by water,
which is still exposed at high tide".

A spokesman from Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries explained the
scale of the task the counting team had. He said: "We have to visit every one of
these islands, and then we note the coordinates, the name, the meaning of the
name, the history of the land and describe the landscape and its geographical
history…all that in great detail."

7. What kind of rights does Indonesia want to claim?


A. Water rights
B. Legal rights
C. Fishing rights
D. Lost rights
D. Mountain rights

8. When must an island be exposed for it to officially be an island?

B. At midnight
