The post went viral and received a lot of responses from netizens. ‘As a Javanese person who migrated to Kaltim, I want to speak up about this.. honestly, when I first came here, I was shocked by the food prices + rental prices which for me are quite high 🤪 actually if you buy basic ingredients in the market, it’s not that expensive.. just vegetables are 2-3 times more than in Java, but if processed, they become really expensive 🤪,’ wrote the account @rahmamiww. ‘Wow, that third photo is a photo of a transmigration house from back in the day,’ wrote the account @kipyiksamgong. ‘In my place in Central Java, the boarding house is a new building with AC, there’s a wardrobe and a bed.. Full WiFi for only 500 a month. That’s 5 million a month. Better to use it to pay for a house,’ wrote the account @tikitaka1993996.
