Possible 'Golden Visa' coming

[pantaiema]

Btw ... I am looking for a phrase in Bahasa Indonesia (or a good translation).
In Dutch there is a phrase "Throwing in your own windows" ... meaning something like "You ruin your own case" or "you ruin it for yourself". Maybe in English there is a phrase like this too.

But: what's a good translation of this phrase in bahasa Indonesia?

In English "to shoot oneself in the foot."

shoot yourself in the foot

1. to do something without intending to which spoils a situation for yourself…

In Indonesian, I am not aware of any specific idiom that matches, but there is certainly always a specific phrase that could be used, such as 'aksi bunuh diri' (e.g. suicide action), etc."

I agree that shooting oneself in the foot is best English example but I do not know of an Indonesian equivilent.

the closest one in my head is: menepuk air di dulang, terpercik muka sendiri - slapped water on the tray, splashed own face

Thanks for the phrase. It's a mouth full. I tried Google translate before and it came up with "merusaknya untuk dirimu sendiri" ... would an Indonesian understand this?

I am going to learn that phrase by heart "menepuk air di dulang, terpercik muka sendiri".
I can use this phrase often.

"merusaknya untuk dirimu sendiri" is a bit weird, just tell them "merusak diri sendiri" which mean self destruction or you can also use "senjata makan tuan"

Not sure about Indonesian, but the English phrase "to shoot oneself in the foot" seems appropriate

Edit: I think Wisnu got it with senjata makan tuan

Can't even hold a Taylor Swift concert properly
Or a kids football tournament for that matter

What do you think of the Thai PM's comments that Taylor Swift didn't play in Bangkok because Singapore paid millions for regional exclusivity?

Perfectly true, legal and reasonable. The promoter can pay the artist to be the exclusive promoter who then decides when and where in the region artists can play
We did the same thing a decade ago when we were bring artists here - get them to sign contracts for 3 or 4 different countries with the same promoter, using the same hotel chain, airline, sponsor etc etc

It is very common
For Swift it is AEG
We used Midas back then

Honestly I don’t have any compassion with some Brexit casualties. Obviously the measures are much more to avoid/stop a Russian and Chinese influx.
