In the morning, a number of women in Dusun Aik Abik, Gunung Muda Village, Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands, are busy ngetem [harvesting rice] in a thousand square meter field, at the foot of Mount Cundong [300 meters]. Towards noon, five women in a hut on stilts at the foot of Bukit Sumedang [200 meters] rushed to load the grain into a number of sacks, which had just been dried in the sun for about an hour in the cottage yard.

In the sky, a stretch of black clouds was visible. "It's raining, so it's stored first. Tomorrow sunbathing again," said Nek Ma, 60, owner of the cottage, mid-February 2022.
