Bedeutung
Going to fetch a child from school.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'jam jemput anak' (pickup hour) is a major cause of traffic. Many offices have unwritten rules allowing parents to leave early to beat the rush. Picking up a child usually involves buying 'jajanan' from vendors outside the gate. It's a bonding time. The 'Paguyuban Orang Tua' (Parent Association) often forms around the school gate during pickup time. Schools often have strict 'kartu jemputan' (pickup cards) to ensure only authorized people can take the child.
