    Electric motor scooters

    I don't disagree just the information I found suggested that electric motor scooters do not handle road flooding as well as petrol scooters and they are more prone to have corrosive problems effecting the system. I posted the above thread to see if we get any response from people having electric...

    Electric motor scooters

    If Indonesia moved to electric motor scooters and did away with petrol motor scooters then the difference in air quality would be huge. However, just watching latest reports on flooding in Jakarta I did a check and it seems electric scooters have less capability handling flooding on the roads...

    New Bali Northern airport

    One has the impression that perhaps the main impetus for these great projects is the money to be made with the various constructions. The outcomes are great for the wheeler dealers but not so great in terms of providing the supposed benefits. The planned total cost for developing Kertajati...

    It seems any time I hear President Prabowo he is talking about stamping out corruption.

    U.S. Imperialism

    The Cuban social revolution was essentially derailed by US sanctions. Having said that it should not be construed that I am pro Marxist Leninism. That path led to millions being destroyed by leaders such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao et al and oppressive regimes. Socialism per se need not take that path...

    U.S. Imperialism

    It seems we have gone back to the 60s when the USA game was to enable US corporations to plunder the resources of Cenrtal and South America with scant regard for the enormous poverty of millions of people. The CIA worked hard to help put in place right wing leaders like Pinochet to destroy any...

    Muslim Brotherhood in Indonesia

    Where religions focus mainly on the notion that this life is not important and the only worthwhile object is to be pure and get to heaven the results invariably distract from developing life on earth. In 1981 a book was published "Among the Believers- An Islamic Journey." Naipaul focued on Iran...

    New laws- Government control

    Churches used to be great bell ringers as a call to the faithful to get to church. Gradually that tradition fell away. Years ago I was staying at a place where there was a Greek church and they were playing amplified bells at a very high level so I called the police who went and asked the church...

    New laws- Government control

    Whether it's rich or really rich I think what is wanted are tourists who stay in $300 a night hotels, hire chauffered cars and pay for packaged tours.

    Indonesian's tax

    I raised this issue some while ago with quite a bit of discussion. And I was very anxious at the time with penalties something like four times the amount of unpaid tax plus the possibility of gaol. As Marcus has pointed out, theoretically, yes social security could be taxed. After all...

    New laws- Government control

    Just watching news regarding a whole gamut of new control laws. Gaol for a range of offences such as demonstrating without a permit, insulting the president or insulting the nation. And gaol for spreading Marxist Leninism. Not sure how that works if you are an academic teaching history or the...

    The future and the role of Artificial intelligence.

    This week my VNP expired so I bought a subscription with a different service. I had a few questions relating to set up so used the company "chat". My Westpac bank has a chat box which is bascialy useless. It never seems to understand the question and rarely has an answer to questions and one has...

    The drab hand of religions.

    It illustrates how readily those of a seriously religious bent can be moved to impose severe punishment of those who deviate from the correct path. For Muslims fines, imprisonment, flogging, loss of employment and education opportunities, and in extreme cases, the death penalty has been imposed...
