    Do tell, how does she earn these extra 9mill of allowances?

    ITAS TO ITAP CONVERSION

    The requirement and procedure is detailed in Permenkumham 29 Th 2021: https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Home/Details/203695/permenkumham-no-29-tahun-2021 Pasal 144-148. Yes, fingerprints and photos (biometrics) are part of it, described in Pasal 146. The process and requirements are thorough and...

    ITAS TO ITAP CONVERSION

    The "reporting" is clearly without fees, but expect some paperwork, potentially up to as much as the previous extension. And of course there are still fees for MERP/IMK if you ever wish to leave the country (and return).

    Possible 'Golden Visa' coming

    A new era of world wide poverty

    Andrew Yang ran for the US presidency in 2020 on a platform focused almost entirely on this issue. He wrote a book two years prior call The War On Normal People. He of course failed in the primary, but it put the concept of Universal Basic Income in the public awareness. There have been a...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    It seems we aren't too far apart on the current state of things, but I think it quite clear that EVs are the long term answer! It's just a matter of when. Can you really picture a world in which most personal transport vehicles in the year 2123 are burning fossil fuels?? Combustion engines...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    I appreciate the effort at citing sources. Your first link is paywalled (NYT), your second is German, the fourth and fifth simply point to some of the negatives of EVs without any data based comparison to the fossil fuel alternatives. Which leaves the 3rd (8billiontrees.com) for me to engage...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    You think researchers at MIT and University of Chicago didn't think of that? Nor the skeptical guy at University of Liege? A quick google search is telling me that Tesla guarantees their batteries for 150k miles (240k km) and typical lifespan is 300-500k miles. You made a big claim, I've shown...

    Mobil Rakyat...new cars

    What's your source for that? Without a credible source I think I'll take the word of an MIT study over yours: https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/are-electric-vehicles-definitely-better-climate-gas-powered-cars And not just that study, many other sources agree. This Reuters article looks at data...

    SKIM only valid for 2 years?

    SKIM is just one document required for becoming WNI, it makes sense that single document would have an expiration date, but when you become WNI your citizenship will have no expiration date. The Jakarta office says it should be processed in one day, so if you have been waiting since September...

    IMTA

    This one is a very simple 'yes' as IMTA is only for a specific job at a specific company, and that company will no longer exist. This one is also a very simple 'yes' as Indonesia taxes residents on their worldwide earnings. Some people who have never worked officially in Indonesia have stories...

    IMTA

    Will your work for the Malaysia office involve Indonesia in any way? Purchase or sales in Indonesia? Clients, suppliers, or customers in Indonesia? Or, will it simply be working for the Malaysian office on matters purely related to Malaysia and other countries, but not Indonesia?

    No More Inefficient or Intolerant Indonesia - Jokowi's New Vision

    It's the same way in more developed nations. As long as the Net Weight (Berat Bersih) is accurate to the contents, there is no deception (legally). The justification for chips is that the air keeps the chips from being crushed. They would quite like to reduce the distribution costs by shipping...

    What the Hell is Going On?

    Turns out that Sosmed may be more effective than KPK.

    Nuclear submarines and regional security.

    Exactly, US economy is still much bigger, as is the US Navy. China may have more ships, but size and quality matter a lot more than quantity. US has about 50% greater fleet by tonnage. China has 6 nuclear subs, the US has 71. The US Navy alone has more aircraft than all branches of the Chinese...

    Nuclear submarines and regional security.

    On the Nordstream destruction you and I actually agree for once, the USA is the most likely culprit. But this point that the US voting against an investigation implicates them; you must agree then that China voting against investigations of the Wuhan lab also implicate malfeasance and coverup?

    Fossil Fuel subsidies, current state of affairs and impact

    This would be a huge jump since 10-20% improvements are newsworthy. It appears another company beat them to the 500 number a month ago, but making a test unit versus an economically viable production battery is a different matter, the first to do that will sell very well. And maybe make our...

    Nuclear submarines and regional security.

    I don't understand Russian, but considering this 2021 English language essay from Putin is directly supplied by the Kremlin, I will assume it is an accurate enough translation: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181 Plenty to pick through there, but the conclusion I find most...

    Nuclear submarines and regional security.

    More like an Ex (Russia) that keeps breaking in, slapping her (Ukraine) around, and insisting they should be together again. All the while she's frantically texting her 100kg, UFC champion, gun-carrying boyfriend saying, "He's back again, please hurry over and help me!"
