GOLDEN SLUMBER: A construction worker enjoys his slumber on an emergency bamboo ladder he uses to paint the walls of the National Commission on Human Rights' new office on Jl. Latuharhary, Central Jakarta. The tired worker does not seem to think about his safety as he could easily fall from the ladder.
