Yeah if you live in a country with those things.. ALWAYS be on the look out and never go into bushes or tall grass/cut all of it.

Also always have a knife at least. But in those countries usually you can get a firearm easily too so that's better.

Context is correct but his name in news articles is just Given as Akbar (Salubiro is the name of the village this took place in) and Akbar Bin Ramli in the following related articles:

Bonus video of the local villagers finding and capturing the python (youtube link):

Edit: I looked it up a bit and I'm surprised that news articles in English seem to report his name as Akbar Salubiro. Now I understand the confusion. Also, I wanted to add that this is a classic incident for Indonesians. I think almost all Indonesians here should be familiar with this case and it's one of the more well known cases of a person dying from being swallowed by a python worldwide.
