Yes, it's true. In the southern hemisphere (where Jakarta is located below the equator) water or "matter" that goes down the drain of your wash basin, tub or toilet will spin in a counter-clockwise direction (to the left); whereas in the northern hemisphere it will spin in a clockwise (to the right) manner. This is due to the earth's gravitational and polarity properties as it spins on its axis; also known as the "Coriolis Effect"
