In the past during the Dutch colonial era in Java.
Javanese people were forced to live in hunger and poverty.
They eventually got used to eating only a spoonful of rice a day because they only had a little rice.
That way of life eventually became a common habit called 'laku prihatin'.

Now I'm also doing 'laku prihatin'.
I have been eating only a spoonful of rice a day for almost a month.
I'm doing this to show my solidarity with Gaza.
People and children in Gaza are starving to the point of being thin and malnourished.
How can I enjoy my favorite foods like soto , rawon , cap cay or bakpao while they are starving ?!..
That's why until today I'm still doing 'laku prihatin'.
A spoonful of rice a day is enough for me rather than eating delicious foods but not feeling the pleasure.
