T

he city administration will provide residents of low-cost apartments (rusunawa) with courses to teach them about handling corpses so as to increase the number of people with skills in various areas.

The Jakarta Forestry Agency is going to conduct the courses between March 1 and April 4 at several apartment buildings. The head of the agency’s human development division, Henri Perez, said on Monday that the agency would be supplied with experts on corpse treatment from the Religious Affairs Ministry.

“This has been discussed in meetings. So if someone passed away, there are people who would take care of the corpse,” he said as quoted by beritajakarta.com, adding that corpse treatment skills were rare in rusunawa.

The courses will start in the Marunda rusunawa on Wednesday and in Penjaringan on Thursday. Both are in North Jakarta. The last apartment building on the agency’s schedule is the Tambora Tower in West Jakarta. (idb)
