Jakarta is a Special Capital Region in Indonesia and is the capital city too. Established as part of the Tarumanagara kingdom in the fourth century by Sundanese Hindu Kings, the city and the nearby harbour were called Sunda Kelapa. It was called Jayakarta after the defeat of the Portuguese by General Fatahillah. Today, it is the world’s next most densely inhabited urban area behind Tokyo. It is a melting pot of different cultures, attracting migrants from the entire Indonesian archipelago because of its potential to offer splendid business opportunities and an improved standard of living.
